Gut microbiota modualtes innate anxiety via the neuron activity of medial prefrontal cortex in mice

ABSTRACT: Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness with a lifetime prevalence of up to 33.7%, the mechanisms of which have been only partially elucidated. Recent observations have revealed the gut microbiota contributes to the regulation of anxiety. However, little attention has been given to innate anxiety, which excluded genetic background and environmental factors. Herein, we investigate causal mechanisms of gut microbiota in modulating innate anxiety. First, specific pathogen-free (SPF) C57BL/6J mice were divided into high-anxiety (HA) and low-anxiety (LA) subgroups in the top or bottom 44%, respectively (ie, the middle 12% was excluded) in the elevated plus maze (EPM). We transplanted the microbiota from high or low anxiety mice, which was identified by 16S rRNA sequencing to be of a differential composition, to antibiotic (ABX)-treated C57 mice. Strikingly, ABX treatment produced anxiolytic effects and HA-FMT recipients exhibited anxiety-like behaviors. We moreover defined that the neuron activity of medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) was activated identified by increased c-Fos expression and GCaMP6 signals in the HA-FMT recipients. Finally, RNA-seq suggested that transcriptional reprogramming, modification of proteins, and synaptic plasticity modulation were involved in the gut microbiota-brain axis mechanism. We conclude that the microbiota influences the innate anxiety-like behavior and affects the neuron activity of mPFC involving transcriptional reprogramming, modification of proteins, and synaptic plasticity modulation.

Gut microbiota-driven brain Ab amyloidosis requires Microglia

Project description:Recent evidence suggests an important role of the gut microbiome in early life on immune cell entraining. Using two independent transgenic (Tg) lines of Alzheimer’s disease, we have demonstrated that life-long antibiotic (ABX)-perturbation of the gut microbiome is associated with reduced amyloid beta (Ab) plaque pathology and microglial phenotypes in male mice. Furthermore, fecal microbiota transfer (FMT) from age-matched APPPS1-21 Tg mice into long-term ABX-treated male APPPS1-21 mice partially restored amyloidosis and microgliosis, thus establishing causality. in the current studies, we planned to investigate the transcriptome profiles in APPPS1-21 mice treated with short-term abx (PND14-21) compared with vehicle treated groups in genotype-, sex- and time -dependent manner. Most importantly, we also investigated if fecal microbiota transplants from age-matched Tg male mice into short-term abx (PND14-21)-treated male mice restores brain transcriptomes to that of obsreved in vehicle-treated male mice at 9 weeks of age.

Disruption of transkingdom communication by antibiotics leads to immune and mitochondrial dysfunction in the gut (main)

Project description:We analyzed the effects of antibiotics using a popular model of gut microbiota depletion in mice by a cocktail of antibiotics. We combined intestinal transcriptome together with metagenomic analysis of the gut microbiota to develop a new bioinformatics approach that probes the links between microbial components and host functions. We found that most antibiotic-induced alterations can be explained by three factors: depletion of the microbiota; direct effects of antibiotics on host tissues; and the effects of remaining antibiotic-resistant microbes. While microbe depletion led to down-regulation of immunity, the two other factors primarily inhibited mitochondrial gene expression and amounts of active mitochondria, and induced cell death. By reconstructing and analyzing a transkingdom network, we discovered that these toxic effects were mediated by virulence/quorum sensing in antibiotic-resistant bacteria. This series includes gene expression in the ileum of control, antibiotics (ABx)-treated, germfree, germfree-ABx-treated and mice colonized with normal or Abx-resistant microbiota. common reference design with a pool of small intestine RNA labeled with Cy3

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Alters Lung Transcriptome and Signaling Pathway

Project description:Rationale: Recent studies suggest a potential link between gut bacterial microbiota dysbiosis and PAH, but the exact role of gut microbial communities, including bacteria, archaea, and fungi, in PAH remains unclear. Objectives: To investigate the role of gut microbiota dysbiosis in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and to assess the therapeutic potential of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in modulating PAH progression. Methods: Using shotgun metagenomics, we analyzed gut microbial communities in IPAH patients and healthy controls. FMT was performed to transfer gut microbiota from IPAH patients or MCT-PAH rats to normal rats and from healthy rats to MCT-PAH rats. Hemodynamic measurements, echocardiography, histological examination, metabolomic and RNA-seq analysis were conducted to evaluate the effects of FMT on PAH phenotypes. Measurements and Main Results: Gut microbiota analysis revealed significant alterations in the bacterial, archaeal, and fungal communities in IPAH patients compared to healthy controls. FMT from IPAH patients induced PAH phenotypes in recipient rats. Conversely, FMT from healthy rats to IPAH rats significantly ameliorated PAH symptoms, restored gut microbiota composition, and normalized serum metabolite profiles. Specific microbial species were identified with high diagnostic potential for IPAH, improving predictive performance beyond individual or combined microbial communities. Conclusions: This study establishes a causal link between gut microbiota dysbiosis and IPAH and demonstrates the therapeutic potential of FMT in reversing PAH phenotypes. The findings highlight the critical role of bacterial, archaeal, and fungal communities in PAH pathogenesis and suggest that modulation of the gut microbiome could be a promising treatment strategy for PAH.

The impact of gut microbiome on transcriptome in Parkinson's disease model revealed by fecal microbiota transplantation

Project description:Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease in middle-aged and elderly people. The disorder of gut microbiota is involved in the pathophysiological process of various neurological diseases, and many studies have confirmed that gut microbiota is involved in the progression of PD. As one of the most effective methods to reconstruct gut microbiota, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been considered as an important treatment for PD. However, the mechanism of FMT treatment for PD is still lacking, which requires further exploration and can facilitate the application of FMT. As a model organism, Drosophila is highly conserved with mammalian system in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. In this study, there were significant differences in the gut microbiota of conventional Drosophila colonized from PD patients compared to those transplanted from normal controls. And we constructed rotenone-induced PD model in Drosophila followed by FMT in different groups, and investigated the impact of gut microbiome on transcriptome of the PD host. Microbial analysis by 16S rDNA sequencing showed that gut microbiota could affect bacterial structure of PD, which was confirmed by bacterial colonization results. In addition, transcriptome data suggested that gut microbiota can influence gene expression pattern of PD. Further experimental validations confirmed that lysosome and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction are the most significantly influenced functional pathways by PD-derived gut microbiota. In summary, our data reveals the influence of PD-derived gut microbiota on host transcriptome and helps better understanding the interaction between gut microbiota and PD through gut-brain axis. The present study will facilitate the understanding of the mechanism underlying PD treatment with FMT in clinical practice.

The gut microbiome enhances breast cancer immunotherapy following bariatric surgery

Project description:Bariatric surgery is associated with improved breast cancer (BC) outcomes, including greater immunotherapy effectiveness in a pre-clinical BC model. A potential mechanism of bariatric surgery-associated protection is through the gut microbiota. Here, we demonstrate the dependency of improved immunotherapy response on the post-bariatric surgery gut microbiome via fecal microbial transplant. Cecal contents were isolated from either obese controls that received sham surgery or formerly obese mice following bariatric surgery-induced weight loss and transferred by FMT to lean recipients. Response to αPD-1 immunotherapy was significantly improved following FMT from formerly obese bariatric-surgery treated mice. Microbes can impact tumor burden through microbially derived metabolites produced or modified by gut microbiota including branched chain amino acids (BCAA). Circulating BCAA correlated significantly with NK T cell content in the tumor microenvironment in both donor mice after bariatric surgery and in FMT recipients of donor cecal content after bariatric surgery compared to obese sham controls. Findings implicate a role of microbially-derived BCAA in activating anti-tumor immunity that is dependent upon bariatric surgery. Importantly, when stool from a patient who exhibited 25% weight loss post-bariatric surgery was transplanted into recipient mice and compared to the patient’s pre-bariatric surgery stool transplant. Patient samples post bariatric surgery significantly reduced tumor burden by 2.4-fold and immunotherapy effectiveness was doubled. Taken together, findings suggest that reinvigorating anti-tumor immunity may be dependent upon microbially derived metabolites such as BCAA.

Multi-modal single cell analysis reveals gut microbiota reshapes brain immune landscape in aged mouse model.

Project description:We used 16S V3/V4 region amplification to evaluate the composition of bacteria species in mouse fecal pellets. Fecel pellets were collected from young-adult (12 weeks old) wild type C57Bl/6 mice and aged (72 weeks old) wild type C57Bl/6 mice after 21 days of vehicle or antibiotics treatment (to induce gut microbiota depletion). In one sequencing round, we sequenced a total of 12 different fecal samples (3 young control, 3 aged control, 3 young depleted gut microbiota (ABX) and 3 aged depleted gut microbiota (ABX)). Amplicons were indexed using the Nextera XT Index Kit and pooled into a library for Illumina sequencing.

Colonic Gene expression in mice colonized with human gut microbiota from healthy and IBS patients

Project description:Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a disorder of the gut-brain axis, characterized by altered gut function and frequent psychiatric co-morbidity. Although altered intestinal microbiome profiles have been documented, their relevance to the clinical expression of IBS is unknown. To evaluate a functional role of the microbiota, we colonized germ-free mice with fecal microbiota from healthy controls or IBS patients with accompanying anxiety, and monitored gut function and behavior. Mouse microbiota profiles clustered according to their human donors. Despite having taxonomically similar composition as controls, mice with IBS microbiota had distinct serum metabolomic profiles related to neuro- and immunomodulation. Mice with IBS, but not control microbiota, exhibited faster gastrointestinal transit, intestinal barrier dysfunction, innate immune activation and anxiety-like behavior. These results support the notion that the microbiota contributes to both intestinal and behavioral manifestations of IBS and rationalize the use of microbiota-directed therapies in ameliorating IBS.

16S rDNA sequencing of BALB/c and C57BL/7 mouse gut microbiomes

Project description:Age-dependent changes of the gut-associated microbiome have been linked to increased frailty and systemic inflammation. This study found that age-associated changes of the gut microbiome of BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice could be reverted by co-housing of aged (22 months old) and adult (3 months old) mice for 30-40 days or faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from adult into aged mice. This was demonstrated using high-throughput sequencing of the V3-V4 hypervariable region of bacterial 16S rRNA gene isolated from faecal pellets collected from 3-4 months old adult and 22-23 months old aged mice before and after co-housing or FMT.

Too much of a good thing: Extended duration of gut microbiota depletion reverses protection from experimental autoimmune uveitis

Project description:Microbial sequencing revealed progressive reduction of gut microbiota that showed some differences in the two ABX groups compared to untreated controls. Interestingly, duration of ABX was associated with a gradual disappearance of the CD4+ and CD4+CD8+ subset of gut intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs). This IEL subset is microbiota-dependent and is absent in germ-free mice. Relative abundance of Lactobacillus reuteri correlated with frequencies of CD4+CD8+ IELs and reduced EAU. Notably, IELs in culture suppressed antigen-specific activation of autoreactive T cells.
