Project description:Epithelial cells of the mammalian intestine are covered with a mucus layer that prevents direct contact with intestinal microbes but also constitutes a substrate for mucus-degrading bacteria. To study the effect of mucus degradation on the host response, germ-free mice were colonized with Akkermansia muciniphila. This anaerobic bacterium belonging to the Verrucomicrobia is specialized in the degradation of mucin, the glycoprotein present in mucus, and found in high numbers in the intestinal tract of human and other mammalian species. Efficient colonization of A. muciniphila was observed with highest numbers in the cecum, where most mucin is produced. In contrast, following colonization by Lactobacillus plantarum, a facultative anaerobe belonging to the Firmicutes that ferments carbohydrates, similar cell-numbers were found at all intestinal sites. Whereas A. muciniphila was located closely associated with the intestinal cells, L. plantarum was exclusively found in the lumen. The global transcriptional host response was determined in intestinal biopsies and revealed a consistent, site-specific, and unique modulation of about 750 genes in mice colonized by A. muciniphila and over 1500 genes after colonization by L. plantarum. Pathway reconstructions showed that colonization by A. muciniphila altered mucosal gene expression profiles toward increased expression of genes involved in immune responses and cell fate determination, while colonization by L. plantarum led to up-regulation of lipid metabolism. These indicate that the colonizers induce host responses that are specific per intestinal location. In conclusion, we propose that A. muciniphila modulates pathways involved in establishing homeostasis for basal metabolism and immune tolerance toward commensal microbiota. Keywords: Analysis of target gene regulation by using microarrays Adult germ-free female NMRI-KI mice (45 – 65 days) were used for bacterial mono-association. Two bacterial strains were used in this study, A. muciniphila MucT (ATTC BAA-835) and L. plantarum WCFS1 (NCIMB 8826). A. muciniphila was grown anaerobically in a basal mucin based medium and L. plantarum was grown anaerobically at 37°C in Man-Rogosa-Sharpe broth (MRS; Le Pont de Claix, France). After 7 days of colonization, mice were killed by cervical dislocation and terminal ileum, cecum and ascending colon specimens were sampled.

Abstract:
The abundance of the human intestinal symbiont Akkermansia
muciniphila has found to be inversely correlated with several
diseases, including metabolic syndrome and obesity.
A. muciniphila is known to use mucin as sole carbon and
nitrogen source. To study the physiology and the potential for
therapeutic applications of this bacterium, we designed a
defined minimal medium. The composition of the medium was based
on the genome-scale metabolic model of A. muciniphila and
the composition of mucin. Our results indicate that
A. muciniphila does not code for GlmS, the enzyme that
mediates the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate (Fru6P) to
glucosamine-6-phosphate (GlcN6P), which is essential in
peptidoglycan formation. The only annotated enzyme that could
mediate this conversion is Amuc-NagB on locus Amuc_1822. We
found that Amuc-NagB was unable to form GlcN6P from Fru6P at
physiological conditions, while it efficiently catalyzed the
reverse reaction. To overcome this inability,
N-acetylglucosamine needs to be present in the medium for
A. muciniphila growth. With these findings, the
genome-scale metabolic model was updated and used to accurately
predict growth of A. muciniphila on synthetic media. The
finding that A. muciniphila has a necessity for GlcNAc,
which is present in mucin further prompts the adaptation to its
mucosal niche.

Project description:Previous studies have implicated a causal role for the gut bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila in counteracting diet-induced obesity and metabolic dysfunctions. However, a systems level understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the anti-obesogenic effect of A. muciniphila is lacking. Using fructose-induced obese mice as a model, we carried out multiomics studies to investigate the molecular cascades mediating the effect of A. muciniphila. We found that A. muciniphila colonization in fructose-induced obese mice triggered significant shifts in gut microbiota composition as well as alterations in numerous gut and plasma metabolites and gene expression in the hypothalamus. Among these, we found that the metabolite oleoyl-ethanolamide in the gut and circulation and hypothalamic oxytocin are the key regulators of gut-brain interactions that underlie the A. muciniphila anti-obesity effect. Our multiomics investigation elucidates the molecular regulators and pathways involved in the communication between A. muciniphila in the gut and hypothalamic neurons that counter fructose-induced obesity .
