Project description:Psychosocial stress is a critical inducing factor of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), while autophagy is a novel central issue of IBD development. The present study investigated the potential role of autophagy in stress-related IBD in patients and animal model. The correlation between psychosocial stress and intestinal autophagy was determined in 23 patients with IBD. Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), a well-established inducer of psychosocial stress, was administrated in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced IBD mice and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM). In IBD patients, the autophagy markers beclin-1, LC3-II/I ratio, Atg16L1, and Atg4B were significantly enhanced. The psychosocial stress score was positively associated with the levels of beclin-1 and the LC3II/I ratio in intestinal biopsy specimens. In IBD mouse model, CRH significantly aggravated intestinal inflammation, increased Paneth cell metaplasia, and enhanced intestinal autophagy (beclin-1, Atg16L1, PIK3R4, and Atg4B upregulation; GAA, CTSD, and PPKAA1 downregulation). Additionally, the CRH-induced gut microbial dysbiosis was evidenced by a marked increase in the number of detrimental bacteria. In LPS-stimulated BMDM, CRH substantially increased M1/M2 polarization and thus promoted inflammation. In both IBD mice and LPS-treated BMDM, blockade of autophagy by chloroquine abrogated the unbeneficial effects of CRH, whereas autophagy inducer rapamycin resulted in a pronounced protective effect against IBD lesion. Our data demonstrate that psychosocial stress may link the enhanced intestinal autophagy by modulating gut microbiota and inflammation to aggravate IBD. These data indicate autophagy as a promising therapeutic target for psychosocial stress-related IBD.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a complex set of diseases that lead to chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract. Although the etiology of IBD is not fully understood, it is well-known that the intestinal microbiota is associated with the development and maintenance of IBD. Manipulation of the gut microbiota, therefore, may represent a target for IBD therapy. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), where fecal microbiota from a healthy donor is transplanted into a patient's GI tract, is already a successful therapy for Clostridium difficile infection. FMT is currently being explored as a potential therapy for IBD as well. In this review, the associations between the gut microbiota and IBD and the emerging data on FMT for IBD will be discussed.

Project description:BackgroundInflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), affect millions of people worldwide with increasing incidence.ObjectivesSeveral studies have shown a link between gut microbiota composition and IBD, but results are often limited by small sample sizes. We aimed to re-analyze publicly available fecal microbiota data from IBD patients.MethodsWe extracted original fecal 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing data from 45 cohorts of IBD patients and healthy individuals using the BioProject database at the National Center for Biotechnology Information. Unlike previous meta-analyses, we merged all study cohorts into a single dataset, including sex, age, geography, and disease information, based on which microbiota signatures were analyzed, while accounting for varying technical platforms.ResultsAmong 2518 individuals in the combined dataset, we discovered a hitherto unseen number of genera associated with IBD. A total of 77 genera associated with CD, of which 38 were novel associations, and a total of 64 genera associated with UC, of which 28 represented novel associations. Signatures were robust across different technical platforms and geographic locations. Reduced alpha diversity in IBD compared to healthy individuals, in CD compared to UC, and altered microbiota composition (beta diversity) in UC and especially in CD as compared to healthy individuals were found.ConclusionsCombining original microbiota data from 45 cohorts, we identified a hitherto unseen large number of genera associated with IBD. Identification of microbiota features robustly associated with CD and UC may pave the way for the identification of new treatment targets.

Project description:The gut microbiota plays an important role in the metabolization and modulation of several types of drugs. With this study we aimed to review the literature about microbial drug metabolism of medication prescribed in inflammatory bowel disease practice. A systematic literature search was performed in Embase and PubMed from inception to October 2019. The search was conducted with predefined MeSH/Emtree and text terms. All studies about drug metabolism by microbiota of medication prescribed in inflammatory bowel disease practice were eligible. A total of 1018 records were encountered and 89 articles were selected for full text reading. Intestinal bacterial metabolism or modulation is of influence in four specific drugs used in inflammatory bowel disease (mesalazines, methotrexate, glucocorticoids and thioguanine). The gut microbiota cleaves the azo-bond of sulfasalazine, balsalazide and olsalazine and releases the active moiety 5-aminosalicylic acid. It has an impact on the metabolization and potentially on the response of methotrexate therapy. Especially thioguanine can be converted by intestinal bacteria into the pharmacological active 6-thioguanine nucleotides without the requirement of host metabolism. Glucocorticoid compounds can be prone to bacterial degradation. The human intestinal microbiota can have a major impact on drug metabolism and efficacy of medication prescribed in inflammatory bowel disease practice. A better understanding of these interactions between microbiota and drugs is needed and should be an integral part of the drug development pathway of new inflammatory bowel disease medication.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by disruptions in the gut microbiome. While most studies on gut dysbiosis in IBD rely on sequencing-based methods, we employed a streamlined culturomics approach to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of gut microbiota imbalance in patients with IBD that may not be captured by sequencing alone. A total of 367 bacteria were identified at the species level, including 211 species from ulcerative colitis patients, 164 species from Crohn's disease (CD) patients, and 263 species from healthy individuals. Consistent with our 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing results, a significant decrease in microbial diversity and a severe imbalance, especially in CD patients, were also observed in the culture-based analysis. Our culturomics approach provided additional insights, highlighting dysbiosis in unique anaerobic and Gram-negative species in CD patients. Moreover, species-level findings for Bifidobacterium and Enterobacterales emphasized specific species expansions in IBD patients. Notably, Mediterraneibacter gnavus, Thomasclavelia ramosa, Parabacteroides merdae, and Collinsella aerofaciens are of particular clinical interest due to their correlation with inflammatory biomarkers. This comprehensive analysis underscores the value of integrating a culture-based approach with a genome-based approach to provide complementary insights and therapeutic targets in IBD.

Project description:BackgroundThe imbalance of commensal bacteria is called dysbiosis in intestinal microflora. Secreted IgA in the intestinal lumen plays an important role in the regulation of microbiota. Although dysbiosis of gut bacteria is reported in IBD patients, it remains unclear what makes dysbiosis of their microflora. The intervention method for remedy of dysbiosis in IBD patients is not well established. In this study, we focused on the quality of human endogenous IgA and investigated whether mouse monoclonal IgA which binds to selectively colitogenic bacteria can modulate human gut microbiota with IBD patients.MethodsIgA-bound and -unbound bacteria were sorted by MACS and cell sorter. Sorted bacteria were analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing to investigate what kinds of bacteria endogenous IgA or mouse IgA recognized in human gut microbiota. To evaluate the effect of mouse IgA, gnotobiotic mice with IBD patient microbiota were orally administrated with mouse IgA and analyzed gut microbiota.ResultsWe show that human endogenous IgA has abnormal binding activity to gut bacteria in IBD patients. Mouse IgA can bind to human microbiota and bind to selectively colitogenic bacteria. The rW27, especially, has a growth inhibitory activity to human colitogenic bacteria. Furthermore, oral administration of mouse IgA reduced an inflammation biomarker, fecal lipocalin 2, in mice colonized with IBD patient-derived microbiota, and improved dysbiosis of IBD patient sample.ConclusionOral treatment of mouse IgA can treat gut dysbiosis in IBD patients by modulating gut microbiota.
