Intestinal microbiome and metabolome signatures in patients with chronic granulomatous disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is caused by defects in any 1 of the 6 subunits forming the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase complex 2 (NOX2), leading to severely reduced or absent phagocyte-derived reactive oxygen species production. Almost 50% of patients with CGD have inflammatory bowel disease (CGD-IBD). While conventional IBD therapies can treat CGD-IBD, their benefits must be weighed against the risk of infection. Understanding the impact of NOX2 defects on the intestinal microbiota may lead to the identification of novel CGD-IBD treatments.

Objective

We sought to identify microbiome and metabolome signatures that can distinguish individuals with CGD and CGD-IBD.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional observational study of 79 patients with CGD, 8 pathogenic variant carriers, and 19 healthy controls followed at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. We profiled the intestinal microbiome (amplicon sequencing) and stool metabolome, and validated our findings in a second cohort of 36 patients with CGD recruited through the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium.

Results

We identified distinct intestinal microbiome and metabolome profiles in patients with CGD compared to healthy individuals. We observed enrichment for Erysipelatoclostridium spp, Sellimonas spp, and Lachnoclostridium spp in CGD stool samples. Despite differences in bacterial alpha and beta diversity between the 2 cohorts, several taxa correlated significantly between both cohorts. We further demonstrated that patients with CGD-IBD have a distinct microbiome and metabolome profile compared to patients without CGD-IBD.

Conclusion

Intestinal microbiome and metabolome signatures distinguished patients with CGD and CGD-IBD, and identified potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

Project description:Background and aims: Gene mutations or variants leading to insufficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) production have been associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In particular, 40-50% of patients with chronic granulomatous disease have IBD (CGD-IBD). CGD is caused by inherited defects in any one of the 5 subunits forming the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex 2 (NOX2), leading to severely reduced or absent phagocyte-derived ROS production. While conventional IBD therapies can treat CGD-IBD, their benefits must be weighed against the risk of infection in this immune compromised population. Understanding the impact of NOX2 defects on the composition and function of the intestinal microbiota may lead to the identification of treatments for CGD-IBD. Methods: We evaluated GI symptom and quality of life scores, and clinical biomarkers of local (i.e. fecal occult blood and calprotectin) and systemic (i.e. CBC, CRP, ESR, and albumin) inflammation in a cohort of 79 patients with CGD, 8 mutation carriers and 17 healthy controls followed at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We profiled the intestinal microbiome by 16S rRNA (V4 region) sequencing and the stool metabolome by mass spectrometry in all fecal samples, and further validated our findings by profiling the stool microbiome in a second cohort of 36 patients with CGD recruited from 11 centers across North-America through the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC). Predictive functional profiling of the microbial communities based on 16S rRNA sequencing was also performed. Results: After controlling for significant variables, we show decreased alpha diversity and identified distinct intestinal microbiome and metabolomic profiles in patients with CGD compared to healthy individuals. In particular, we observed enrichment for Erysipelatoclostridium spp., Sellimonas spp. and Lachnoclostridium spp. in stool samples from patients with CGD. Despite differences in alpha and beta diversity in samples from the NIH compared to the PIDTC cohort, there were several bacterial taxa that correlated significantly between both cohorts. We further demonstrate that patients with active IBD and/or a history of IBD have a distinct microbiome and metabolomic profile compared to patients without CGD-IBD and identified bacterial taxa to be evaluated as potential markers of disease severity, as well as targets for future therapeutic interventions. Conclusions: Intestinal microbiome and metabolomic signatures distinguished patients with CGD and CGD-IBD and identified microbial and metabolomic candidates to be further evaluated as potential targets to improve the management of patients with CGD-IBD.

Project description:BackgroundCOVID-19, whose causative pathogen is the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), was declared a pandemic in March 2020. The gastrointestinal tract is one of the targets of this virus, and mounting evidence suggests that gastrointestinal symptoms may contribute to disease severity. The gut-lung axis is involved in the immune response to SARS-CoV-2; therefore, we investigated whether COVID-19 patients' bacterial and fungal gut microbiome composition was linked to disease clinical outcome.MethodsIn May 2020, we collected stool samples and patient records from 24 hospitalized patients with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Fungal and bacterial gut microbiome was characterized by amplicon sequencing on the MiSeq, Illumina's integrated next generation sequencing instrument. A cohort of 201 age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers from the project PRJNA661289 was used as a control group for the bacterial gut microbiota analysis.ResultsWe observed that female COVID-19 patients had a lower gut bacterial microbiota richness than male patients, which was consistent with a different latency in hospital admittance time between the two groups. Both sexes in the COVID-19 patient study group displayed multiple positive associations with opportunistic bacterial pathogens such as Enterococcus, Streptococcus, and Actinomyces. Of note, the Candida genus dominated the gut mycobiota of COVID-19 patients, and adult patients showed a higher intestinal fungal diversity than elderly patients. We found that Saccharomycetales unassigned fungal genera were positively associated with bacterial short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) producers and negatively associated with the proinflammatory genus Bilophila in COVID-19 patients, and we observed that none of the patients who harbored it were admitted to the high-intensity unit.ConclusionsCOVID-19 was associated with opportunistic bacterial pathogens, and Candida was the dominant fungal taxon in the intestine. Together, we found an association between commensal SCFA-producers and a fungal genus that was present in the intestines of patients who did not experience the most severe outcome of the disease. We believe that this taxon could have played a role in the disease outcome, and that further studies should be conducted to understand the role of fungi in gastrointestinal and health protection.
