Coordination of microbe-host homeostasis via a crosstalk with plant innate immunity

ABSTRACT: Asymptomatic plants grown in natural soil are colonized by phylogenetically structured communities of microbes known as the microbiota. Individual microbes can activate microbe-associated molecular pattern (MAMP)-triggered immunity (MTI), which limits pathogen proliferation but curtails plant growth, a phenomenon known as the growth-defense trade-off. We report that in mono-associations, 41% (62/151) of taxonomically diverse root bacteria commensals suppress Arabidopsis thaliana root growth inhibition (RGI) triggered by immune-stimulating MAMPs or damage-associated molecular patterns. Amplicon sequencing of bacteria 16S rRNA genes reveal that immune activation alters the profile of synthetic communities (SynComs) comprised of RGI-non-suppressive strains, while the presence of RGI-suppressive strains attenuates this effect. Root colonization by SynComs with different complexities and RGI-suppressive activities alters the expression of 174 core host genes with functions related to root development and nutrient transport. Further, RGI-suppressive SynComs specifically downregulate a subset of immune-related genes. Mutation of one commensal-downregulated transcription factor, MYB15, or pre-colonization with RGI-suppressive SynComs render plants more susceptible to opportunistic Pseudomonas pathogens. Our results suggest that RGI-non-suppressive and suppressive root commensals modulate host susceptibility to pathogens by either eliciting or dampening MTI responses, respectively. This interplay buffers the plant immune system against pathogen perturbation and defense-associated growth inhibition, ultimately leading to commensal-host homeostasis.

Detection of flg22 peptide upon treatment with different Arabidopsis root-derived bacterial supernatant

Project description:Asymptomatic plants grown in natural soil are colonized by phylogenetically structured communities of microbes known as the microbiota. Individual microbiota members can activate host innate immunity, which limits pathogen proliferation and curtails plant growth, a phenomenon known as the growth-defense trade-off. We report that in mono-associations, 41% (62/151) of taxonomically diverse root commensals suppress Arabidopsis root growth inhibition (RGI) triggered by immune-stimulating microbe-/damage-associated molecular patterns. 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing data reveal that immune activation alters the profile of synthetic communities (SynComs) comprised of RGI non-suppressive strains, while the presence of RGI-suppressive strains attenuates this effect. Chronic root transcriptional outputs in response to colonization with RGI-suppressive or non-suppressive SynComs share a core of genes with a stereotyped expression pattern. However, RGI-suppressive SynComs specifically downregulate a subset of immune-related genes. Such SynCom-specific modulation of defense is physiologically relevant as mutation of one commensal-downregulated transcription factor, MYB15, or pre-colonization with an RGI-suppressive SynCom render plants more susceptible to opportunistic Pseudomonas pathogens. Our results suggest that commensals with contrasting MTI modulating capacities interact with the plant host and together buffer the system against pathogen challenge, defense-associated plant growth inhibition and community shift via a crosstalk with the immune system, leading to commensal-host homeostasis.

Epidermal barrier impairment predisposes for excessive growth of the allergy-associated yeast Malassezia on murine skin

Project description:The skin barrier is vital for protection against environmental threats including insults caused by skin-resident microbes. Dysregulation of this barrier is a hallmark of atopic dermatitis (AD) and ichthyosis, with variable consequences for host immune control of colonizing commensals and opportunistic pathogens. While Malassezia is the most abundant commensal fungus of the skin, little is known about the host control of this fungus in inflammatory skin diseases. Here we show that in barrier-impaired skin, Malassezia acquires enhanced fitness and overt growth properties. By using four distinct and complementary murine models of atopic dermatitis and ichthyosis we provide evidence that structural and metabolic changes in the dysfunctional epidermal barrier environment provide increased accessibility and an altered lipid profile, to which the lipid-dependent yeast adapts for enhanced nutrient assimilation. These findings reveal fundamental insights into the implication of the mycobiota in the pathogenesis of common skin barrier disorders.

Neonatal microbes shape islet-immune interactions that determine life-long host metabolic capacity [scRNA-seq and bulk RNA-seq].

Project description:The composition of the resident microbiota changes and diversifies as its host develops. Enrichment of specific taxa early in life is important for immune system development and maturation, but the impact of early life commensals on other host developmental processes is little studied. Here, we describe a critical window of postnatal life when specific microbes are necessary to establish an adequate supply of insulin-producing tissue for lifelong metabolic homeostasis of the host.

RNA-seq of SFB-tetramer+ cells

Project description:Humans and their microbiota have coevolved a mutually beneficial relationship, with the human host providing a hospitable environment for the microbes, and the microbiota providing many benefits including nutritional benefits and protection from pathogen infection1. Maintaining this relationship requires careful immune balance to contain commensals within the lumen while limiting inflammatory anti-commensal responses1,2. A number of groups describe T cell antigen-specific recognition of intestinal microbes3,4. While the local environment shapes effector cell differentiation3–5 it is unclear how microbiota-specific T cells are educated in the thymus. Here we identify that early life intestinal colonization leads to trafficking of microbial antigens from the intestine to the thymus by intestinal dendritic cells (DCs) which then expand microbiota-specific T cells. Once in the periphery, microbiota-specific T cells have pathogenic potential, or can protect against related pathogens. In this way, the developing microbiota shapes and expands the thymic and peripheral T cell repertoire, allowing for enhanced recognition of intestinal microbes and pathogens.

Transcription profiling by array of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a rhizopsphere during phosphate limitation conditions

Project description:Plants and rhizosphere microbes rely closely on each other, with plants supplying carbon to bacteria in root exudates, and bacteria mobilizing soil-bound phosphate for plant nutrition. When the phosphate supply becomes limiting for plant growth, the composition of root exudation changes, affecting rhizosphere microbial communities and microbially-mediated nutrient fluxes. To evaluate how plant phosphate deprivation affects rhizosphere bacteria, Lolium perenne seedlings were root-inoculated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa 7NR, and grown in axenic microcosms under different phosphate regimes (330 uM vs 3-6 uM phosphate). The effect of biological nutrient limitation was examined by DNA microarray studies of rhizobacterial gene expression.

Gut complement induced by the microbiota combats pathogens and spares commensals

Project description:Canonically, the complement system is known for its rapid response to remove microbes in the bloodstream. However, relatively little is known about a functioning complement system on intestinal mucosal surfaces. Herein we report the local synthesis of complement component 3 (C3) in the gut, primarily by stromal cells. C3 is expressed upon commensal colonization, is regulated by the composition of the microbiota in healthy humans and mice, leading to an individual host’s specific luminal C3 levels. The absence of membrane attack complex (MAC) components in the gut ensures that C3 deposition does not result in the lysis of commensals. Pathogen infection triggers the immune system to recruit neutrophils to the infection site for pathogen clearance. Basal C3 levels directly correlate with protection against enteric infection. Our study reveals the gut complement system as a novel innate immune mechanism acting as a vigilant sentinel that combats pathogens and spares commensals.

Altered mucosal homeostasis in mice lacking secretory antibodies

Project description:The mammalian gut is inhabited by a large and complex microbial community that lives in a mutualistic relationship with its host. Innate and adaptive mucosal defense mechanisms ensure a homeostatic relationship with this commensal microbiota. Secretory antibodies are generated from the active polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR)-mediated transport of IgA and IgM antibodies to the gut lumen and form the first line of adaptive immune defense of the intestinal mucosa. We probed mucosal homeostasis in pIgR knockout (KO) mice, which lack secretory antibodies. We found that in pIgR KO mice, colonic epithelial cells, the cell type most closely in contact with intestinal microbes, differentially expressed (>2-fold change) more than 200 genes compared with wild type mice, and upregulated the expression of anti-microbial peptides in a commensal-dependent manner. Detailed profiling of microbial communities based on 16S rRNA genes revealed differences in the commensal microbiota between pIgR KO and wild type mice. Furthermore, we found that pIgR KO mice showed increased susceptibility to dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis, and that this was driven by their conventional intestinal microbiota. In conclusion, secretory antibodies or the pIgR itself are required to maintain a stable commensal microbiota. In the absence of these humoral effector components, gut homeostasis is disturbed and the outcome of colitis significantly worsened. 4 groups: wild type mice treated with antibiotic (5 replicates), wild type mice left untreated (5 replicates), pIgR KO mice treated with antibiotic (6 replicates), and pIgR KO mice left untreated (6 replicates).

Genome-wide gene expression analysis of 16HBE14 human bronchial epithelial cells in response to Neisseria

Project description:We looked at host gene expression signatures common and specfic to occasionally pathogenic N. meningitidis and commensal N. lactamica. We hypothesise that similar host cell responses during early interactions with N. meningitidis and N. lactamica could inform common mechanisms of colonisation of commensals while differential host cell responses could be capable of altering the outcome of the colonisation process.

Directed endocytosis mediates immune communication between an epithelial commensal microbe and the host

Project description:Commensal bacteria influence host physiology, including immune responses, without invading host tissues. We show that proteins from segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB), which are immunomodulatory commensal microbes, are transferred into intestinal epithelial cells by adhesion-directed endocytosis that is distinct from the clathrin-dependent endocytosis of invasive pathogens. SFB transfer microbial cell wall-associated proteins, including an antigen that stimulates mucosal Th17 cell differentiation, into the cytosol of epithelial cells. Removal of CDC42 activity in vivo led to disruption of endocytosis induced by SFB, decreased epithelial antigen acquisition with consequent loss of immune modulation by SFB-specific CD4 T cells and mucosal Th17 cells. Our findings indicate direct communication between a resident gut microbe and the host and show that intestinal epithelial cells acquire antigens from commensal bacteria for generation of T-cell responses to the resident microbiota.
