Project description:To elucidate the molecular pathways altered by host-microbe interactions in cervicovaginal epithelial cells we performed whole genome RNA-sequencing. We identified genes and functional pathways that were altered in cervicovaginal epithelial cells after exposure to G. vaginalis or L. crispatus or their supernatant.

Project description:We developed an analysis pipeline that can extract microbial sequences from Spatial Transcriptomic (ST) data and assign taxonomic labels, generating a spatial microbial abundance matrix in addition to the default host expression matrix, enabling simultaneous analysis of host expression and microbial distribution. We called the pipeline Spatial Meta-transcriptome (SMT) and applied it on both human and murine intestinal sections and validated the spatial microbial abundance information with alternative assays. Biological insights were gained from this novel data that that demonstrated host-microbe interaction at various spatial scales. Finally, we tested experimental modification that can increase microbial capture while preserving host spatial expression quality and, by use of positive controls, quantitatively demonstrated the capture efficiency and recall of our methods. This proof of concept work demonstrates the feasibility of Spatial Meta-transcriptomic analysis, and paves the way for further experimental optimization and application.

Project description:Cervicovaginal microbiome dysbiosis is associated with increased prevalence and incidence of sexually transmitted infections including HIV. We compared the cervicovaginal proteome as characterised by mass-spectrometry of four groups of African female sex workers (total N=50) grouped by microbiome composition as characterised by 16S rDNA microarray. Group 1 had a Lactobacillus crispatus-dominated microbiome, group 2 a L. iners-dominated microbiome, and groups 3 and 4 had a microbiome containing multiple genera of anaerobic bacteria, with group 3 representing transition to or from dysbiosis and group 4 full dysbiosis. 82 human proteins were differentially abundant among the groups, either showing an increasing or decreasing trend from microbiome groups 1 to 4. Proteins that increased included proteasome subunits and other proteins involved in catabolic metabolism, actin organising proteins and proteins involved in the immune response. Proteins that decreased included antiproteases, keratins, and cornified envelope proteins. We also compared the abundance of pre-defined proteins of interest among microbiome groups: markers of cell type, inflammation, and cell death, and mucins. The dysbiotic groups had increased abundance of proteins unique to lymphocytes and macrophages, pro-inflammatory cytokines, cell death markers, and MUC5B. We conclude that the cervicovaginal human proteome is associated with the cervicovaginal microbiome in a dose-response manner. The changes are likely caused by a pro-inflammatory influx of immune cells and an increase of cell death in dysbiosis. Dysbiosis-associated immune activation, breaches in epithelial integrity, altered mucin balance, and altered protease-antiprotease balance may all contribute to the increased risk of HIV transmission when cervicovaginal dysbiosis is present.

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.

Project description:Chronic diseases arise when pathophysiological processes achieve a steady state by self-reinforcing. Here, we explored the possibility of a self-reinforcement state in a common condition, chronic constipation, where alterations of the gut microbiota have been reported. The functional impact of the microbiota shifts on host physiology remains unclear, however we hypothesized that microbial communities adapted to slow gastrointestinal transit affect host functions in a way that reinforces altered transit, thereby maintaining the advantage for microbial self-selection. To test this, we examined the impact of pharmacologically (loperamide)-induced constipation (PIC) on the structural and functional profile of altered gut microbiota. PIC promoted changes in the gut microbiome, characterized by decreased representation of butyrate-producing Clostridiales, decreased cecal butyrate concentration and altered metabolic profiles of gut microbiota. PIC-associated gut microbiota also impacted colonic gene expression, suggesting this might be a basis for decreased gastrointestinal (GI) motor function. Introduction of PIC-associated cecal microbiota into germ-free (GF) mice significantly decreased GI transit time. Our findings therefore support the concept that chronic diseases like constipation are caused by disease-associated steady states, in this case, caused by reciprocating reinforcement of pathophysiological factors in host-microbe interactions. We used microarrays to detail the global gene expression profile in the proximal colon smooth muscle tissues of germ-free, conventionalized, or specific pathogen free mouse C57Bl/6 female and male specific pathogen free (SPF) mice were bred and housed in the animal care facility at the University of Chicago. Mice of 8–10 weeks of age were treated with 0.1% loperamide in the drinking water for 7 days. Age matched, germ-free (GF) C57Bl/6 mice were gavaged orally with cecal luminal contents harvested from control or loperamide-treated C57Bl/6 donor mice. Recipient mice were sacrificed 4 weeks post-colonization.

Project description:<p>The mechanistic role of the airway microbiome in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains largely unexplored. We present a landscape of airway microbe-host interactions in COPD by an in-depth profiling of sputum metagenome, metabolome, host transcriptome and proteome from 99 COPD patients and 36 healthy individuals. Multi-omic data were integrated using a sequential mediation analysis, to assess in silico associations of the microbiome with neutrophilic or eosinophilic inflammation, two primary COPD inflammatory endotypes, mediated through microbial metabolic interaction with host gene expression. Mechanistic links of microbiome-metabolite-host interaction were identified leveraging microbial genetic information and established metabolite-human gene pairs. The strongest link for neutrophil-predominant COPD was altered tryptophan metabolism driven by airway lactobacilli resulting in reduced indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), which was in turn linked to perturbed host IL-22 signaling and epithelial cell apoptosis pathways. In vivo and in vitro studies showed that airway microbiome-derived IAA mitigates neutrophilic inflammation, apoptosis, emphysema, and lung function decline, via IL-22-mediated macrophage-epithelial cell crosstalk. Intranasal inoculation of two airway lactobacilli restored IAA and recapitulated its protective effects in mice. These findings provide the rationale for therapeutically targeting microbe-host interaction in COPD.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Linked studies:</strong></p><p><strong>UPLC-MS/MS assays</strong> of original cohort human samples are reported in this study.</p><p><strong>UPLC-MS/MS assays</strong> of more recent cohort human samples are reported in <a href='https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/MTBLS5423' rel='noopener noreferrer' target='_blank'><strong>MTBLS5423</strong></a>.</p><p><strong>UPLC-MS/MS assays</strong> of more recent murine samples are reported in <a href='https://www.ebi.ac.uk/metabolights/MTBLS6894' rel='noopener noreferrer' target='_blank'><strong>MTBLS6894</strong></a>.</p>
