Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) chronicity results from memory T helper cell (Tmem) reactivation. Identifying patient-specific immunotypes is crucial for tailored treatment. We conducted a comprehensive study integrating circulating immune proteins and circulating Tmem, with intestinal tissue histology and mRNA analysis, in therapy-naïve pediatric IBD (Crohn's disease, CD: n = 62; ulcerative colitis, UC: n = 20; age-matched controls n = 43), and after 10–12 weeks’ induction therapy. At diagnosis, plasma protein profiles unveiled two UC and three CD clusters with distinct disease courses. UC patients displayed unchanged circulating Tmem, while CD exhibited increased frequencies of gut-homing ex-Th17, known for high IFN-γ production. UC#2 had elevated Th17/neutrophil-pathway-related proteins and severe disease, with higher endoscopic and histological damage and Th17/neutrophil infiltration. Although both UC#1 and UC#2 responded to therapy, UC#2 required earlier immunomodulation. CD#3 had lower plasma protein concentrations, especially IFN-γ pathway proteins, fewer gut-homing ex-Th17 and clinically milder disease, confirmed by intestinal gene expression. CD#1 and CD#2 had comparably high Th1-related immune profiles, but CD#1 exhibited higher concentrations of proteins previously associated with poorer prognosis. Both CD clusters responded to induction therapy, with similar one-year outcomes. This study highlights feasibility of discriminating patient-specific immunotypes in IBD, advancing our understanding of immune pathogenesis, needed for tailored treatment strategies.
