Bacteroides is increased in an autism cohort and induces autismrelevant behavioral changes in mice in a sex-dependent manner

ABSTRACT: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition which is defined by decreased social communication and the presence of repetitive or stereotypic behaviors. Recent evidence has suggested that the gut-brain axis may be important in neurodevelopment in general and may play a role in ASD in particular. Here, we present a study of the gut microbiome in 96 individuals diagnosed with ASD in Israel, compared to 42 neurotypical individuals. We determined differences in alpha and beta diversity in the microbiome of individuals with ASD and demonstrated that the phylum Bacteroidetes and genus Bacteroides were the most significantly over-represented in individuals with ASD. To understand the possible functional significance of these changes, we treated newborn mice with Bacteroides fragilis at birth. B. fragilis-treated male mice displayed social behavior dysfunction, increased repetitive behaviors and gene expression dysregulation in the prefrontal cortex, while female mice did not display behavioral deficits. These findings suggest that overabundance of Bacteroides, particularly in early life, may have functional consequences for individuals with ASD.

Acetate supplementation rescues social deficits and alters transcriptional regulation in prefrontal cortex of Shank3 deficient mice

Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogenous neurodevelopmental disorder with complex pathophysiology including both genetic and environmental factors. Recent evidence demonstrates the gut microbiome and its resultant metabolome can influence brain and behavior and have been implicated in ASD. To investigate gene by microbiome interactions in a model for genetic risk of ASD, we utilize mutant mice carrying a deletion of the ASD-associated Shank3 gene (Shank3KO). Shank3KO have altered microbiome composition and function at baseline in addition to social deficits. Further depletion of the microbiome with antibiotics exacerbates social deficits in Shank3KO, and results in transcriptional changes in the frontal cortex. Supplementation with the microbial metabolite acetate leads to reversal of social behavioral phenotypes even in mice with a depleted microbiome, and significantly alters transcriptional regulation in the prefrontal cortex. These results suggest a key role for the gut microbiome and the neuroactive metabolite acetate in regulating ASD-like behaviors.

Human Gut Microbiota from Autism Spectrum Disorder Promote Behavioral Symptoms in Mice

Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) manifests as alterations in complex human behaviors including social communication and stereotypies. In addition to genetic risks, the gut microbiome differs between typically-developing (TD) and ASD individuals, though it remains unclear whether the microbiome contributes to symptoms. We transplanted gut microbiota from human donors with ASD and TD controls into germ-free mice, and reveal that colonization with ASD microbiota was sufficient to induce hallmark autistic behaviors. The brains of mice colonized with ASD microbiota display alternative splicing of ASD-relevant genes. Microbiome and metabolome profiles of mice harboring human microbiota predict that specific bacterial taxa and their metabolites modulate ASD behaviors. Indeed, treatment of an ASD mouse model with candidate microbial metabolites improves behavioral abnormalities and affects neuronal excitability in the brain. We propose that the gut microbiome modulates behaviors in mice via production of neuroactive metabolites, suggesting that gut-brain connections contribute to the pathophysiology of ASD.

MicroRNA biomarkers in blood for Autism spectrum disorder

Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by social communication deficits and repetitive behaviors. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been recently recognized as potential biomarkers of ASD as they are dysregulated in various tissues of individuals with ASD. However, it remains unclear whether miRNA expression is altered in individuals with high-functioning ASD. Here, we investigated the miRNA expression profile in peripheral blood from adults with high-functioning ASD, and age and gender-matched healthy controls. Our findings may provide insights regarding the molecular clues for recognizing high-functioning ASD.

Cytogenetics 2.7M and Cytoscan HD 2.8M Microarrays in autistic families in the Lebanese population

Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects these core domains: ritualistic-repetitive behaviors, impaired social interaction, and deficits in non-verbal communication/language development. Although ASD is heritable, its extreme heterogeneity defies genetic analyses. A number of ASD susceptibility genes have been identified. The Lebanese population is ideal for uncovering recessive genes because of a high rate of shared ancestry, consanguineous marriages, and high number of offspring per family. We recruited 36 ASD families (ASD: 37, unaffected parents: 36, unaffected siblings: 33). Cytogenetics 2.7M Microarrays/CytoScanâ¢ HD arrays allowed mapping of homozygous regions of the genome.

Expression analysis of Bacteroides fragilis NCTC 9343 delta-ungD1 delta-ungD2 delta-PSH acapsular mutant

Project description:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in a Bacteroides fragilis NCTC 9343 delta-ungD1 delta-ungD2 delta-PSH triple mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutations engineered into this strain render it acapsular. The mutants analyzed in this study are further described in Coyne, M. J., M. Chatzidaki-Livanis, L. C. Paoletti, and L. E. Comstock. 2008. Role of glycan synthesis in colonization of the mammalian gut by the bacterial symbiont Bacteroides fragilis. PNAS 105(35):13098-13103 (PID 18723678). A six chip study using total RNA recovered from three separate wild-type cultures of Bacteroides fragilis NCTC 9343 and three separate cultures of a triple mutant strain, Bacteroides fragilis NCTC 9343 delta-ungD1 delta-ungD2 delta-PSH, in which ungD1 (BF1706), ungD2 (BF2848), and six genes (BF3454 through BF3459) of the PSH capsular polysaccharide locus are truncated or deleted entirely. Each chip measures the expression level of 4,302 genes from Bacteroides fragilis NCTC 9343 and the associated plasmid pBF9343 with fourteen 24-mer probe pairs (PM/MM) per gene, with three-fold technical redundancy.

Excessive UBE3A dosage impairs fine-tuning of retinoid acid signaling in autism spectrum disorders

Project description:The autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a collection of disorders with heterogeneous etiology, exhibiting common traits including impaired social interactions and communications, repetitive behaviors. 15q11-q13 copy number variations (CNV) were found in 1-3% of ASD cases; of which the detailed mechanism of the major contributor UBE3A gene acted still remained elusive. Here we identified a key enzyme in RA synthesis, negatively regulated in ubiquitination-dependent mode promoted by UBE3A. Our data provide evidences linking UBE3A hyperactivity with ASD phenotypes, with implications for understanding ASD etiology and providing potential interventions in ASD clinical therapy.

In vitro transcriptional profiling of Bacteroides fragilis in glucose and human milk oligosaccharides

Project description:The factors that govern the retention and abundance of specific microbial lineages within a developing intestinal microbiota remain poorly defined. Human milk oligosaccharides consumed by nursing infnats pass undigested to the distal gut where they may be consumed by microbes. We investigated the transcriptional response of Bacterides fragilis, a prominent gut resident, to the presence of HMOs. In vitro transcriptional profiles of Bacteroides fragilis obtained from biological duplicate cultures taken at middle log phase in minimal media glucose (MM-Glu) and in minimal media with human milk oligosaccharides (MM-HMO).

Phosphoproteomic analysis of Ank2-mutant mice

Project description:Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) represent neurodevelopmental disorders characterized by social deficits, repetitive behaviors, and various comorbidities, including epilepsy. ANK2, which encodes a neuronal scaffolding protein, is frequently mutated in ASD, but its in vivo functions and disease-related mechanisms are largely unknown. Here, we report that mice with Ank2 knockout restricted to cortical and hippocampal excitatory neurons (Ank2-cKO mice) show ASD-related behavioral abnormalities and juvenile seizure-related death. Ank2-cKO cortical neurons show abnormally increased excitability and firing rate. These changes accompanied decreases in the total level and function of the Kv7.2/KCNQ2 and Kv7.3/KCNQ3 potassium channels and the density of these channels in the enlengthened axon initial segment. Importantly, the Kv7 agonist, retigabine, rescued neuronal excitability, juvenile seizure-related death, and hyperactivity in Ank2-cKO mice. These results suggest that Ank2 regulates neuronal excitability by regulating the length of and Kv7 density in the AIS and that Kv7 channelopathy is involved in Ank2-related brain dysfunctions.

Dysregulation of Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling pathway via RNF146 upregulation in the prefrontal cortex is responsible for social deficit in a VPA-induced ASD mouse model

Project description:Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder where patients have impaired social behavior, communication, repetitive behaviors, and restricted interest. Valproic acid (VPA) has been widely used to treat patients with epilepsy and bipolar disorder patients. However, VPA treatment during pregnancy has produced offspring with neurodevelopmental disorders, including ASD. To better understand the molecular function of ASD, we have used valproic acid, chemically induced ASD mice. We have performed LC-MS/MS analysis of VPA-induced offspring mice to the control to see the difference in their proteome difference. Our analysis showed that many neuronal network pathways were highly expressed in our differentially expressed proteins, and among them, Wnt/ β-catenin pathways showed clear enrichment. The RNF146 (E3 Ubiquitin-protein ligase) increase in VPA-exposed mice showed a highly significant effect on canonical Wnt/ β-catenin signaling pathways by disrupting the β-catenin destruction complex. The proteins like CREBBP, TCF4, and GSK3B also showed significant changes that indicate dysfunction of β-catenin destruction complex and activation of transcription factors.
