Gut microbiota-derived GlcNAc-MurNAc is a TLR4 agonist that protects the host gut

ABSTRACT: Gut microbiota-derived peptidoglycan fragments (PGNs) are key signaling molecules that regulate multiple aspects of the host’s health. Yet the exact structures of natural PGNs in hosts have not been fully elucidated. Herein, we developed an LC-HRMS/MS analytical platform for global quantification and profiling of natural PGN subtypes in host gut and sera, unexpectedly revealing the abundance of PGN-derived saccharide moieties that do not resemble canonical ligands of mammalian NOD1/2 receptors. Focusing on the disaccharide GlcNAc-MurNAc (GM), which does not activate NOD1/2 yet still exhibits immunostimulatory effects in host immune cells, we established GM as a mild TLR4 agonist, illustrating an alternate PGN sensing mechanism other than NOD signaling. Importantly, the administration of GM mitigates colonic inflammation in the DSS-induced colitis model in mice via a TLR4-dependent manner, highlighting the in vivo significance of gut microbiota-derived PGN saccharides in maintaining host intestinal homeostasis.

Bacterial Peptidoglycan Serves as a Critical Modulator of the Gut-Immune-Brain Axis in Drosophila.

Project description:Metabolites released by gut-associated bacteria can modulate many physiological processes in the host, including its behavior. By employing a model of oral bacterial infection, we recently uncovered that bacterial peptidoglycan (PGN) influences fly female egg-laying behavior by activating the NF-kB cascade in a subset of brain neurons. While shedding light on PGN as a potential mediator of communication between the microbiota and the brain in Drosophila, these findings prompt us to study the impact that PGN can exert on all brain cells. Using high-resolution mass spectrometry, we demonstrate that the PGN released by gut-associated bacteria can rapidly be detected in the central nervous system (CNS), hence demonstrating that following translocation from the gut to the hemolymph, the insect blood, it can be directly perceived by brain cells. By combining whole-genome transcriptome analyses, comprehensive genetic assays and reporter gene systems, we show that bacterial infection primarily elicits a PGN dose-dependent NF-kB immune response in glial cells forming the outer cell layer of the blood-brain barrier. Overall, our findings establish that gut-derived PGN is a critical mediator of the gut-brain axis in Drosophila. In addition to triggering behavioral changes, sensing of circulating PGN by the CNS also induces a local immune response of the BBB.

Metaproteomic Monitoring of Perinatal Mouse Gut Microbiota

Project description:In the presented study, in order to unravel gut microbial community multiplicity and the influence of maternal milk nutrients (i.e., IgA) on gut mucosal microbiota onset and shaping, a mouse GM (MGM) was used as newborn study model to discuss genetic background and feeding modulation on gut microbiota in term of symbiosis, dysbiosis and rebiosis maintenance during early gut microbiota onset and programming after birth. Particularly, a bottom-up shotgun metaproteomic approach, combined with a computational pipeline, has been compred with a culturomics analysis of mouse gut microbiota, obtained by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry (MS).

The protective role of TLR4 in intestinal epithelial cells through the regulation of the gut microbiota in DSS-induced colitis in mice

Project description:Abstract. Background: The cause of ulcerative colitis (UC) is not yet fully understood. Previous research has pointed towards a potential role for mutations in NOD2 in promoting the onset and progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by altering the microbiota of the gut. However, the relationship between toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and gut microbiota in IBD is not well understood. To shed light on this, the interaction between TLR4 and gut microbiota was studied using a mouse model of IBD. Methods: To examine the function of TLR4 signaling in intestinal injury repair, researchers developed Dextran Sulfate Sodium Salt (DSS)-induced colitis and injury models in both wild-type (WT) mice and TLR4 knockout (TLR4-KO) mice. To assess changes in the gut microbiota, 16S rRNA sequencing was conducted on fecal samples from both the TLR4-KO and WT enteritis mouse models. Results: The data obtained depicted a protective function of TLR4 against DSS-induced colitis. The gut microbiota composition was found to vary considerably between the WT and TLR4-KO mice groups as indicated by β-diversity analysis and operational taxonomic units (OTUs) cluster. Statistical analysis of microbial multivariate variables depicted an elevated abundance of Escherichia coli/Shigella, Gammaproteobacteria, Tenerlcutes, Deferribacteres, Enterobacteria, Rikenellaceae, and Proteobacteria in the gut microbiota of TLR4-KO mice, whereas there was a considerable reduction in Bacteroidetes at five different levels of the phylogenetic hierarchy including phylum, class, order, family, and genus in comparison with the WT control. Conclusion: TLR4 may protect intestinal epithelial cells from damage in response to DSS-induced injury by controlling the microbiota in the gut.

Gut microbiota dysbiosis rewires host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic landscape via bile acid metabolism

Project description:Gut microbiota and their metabolites influence host gene expression and physiological status through diverse mechanisms. Here we investigate how gut microbiota and their metabolites impact host′s mRNA m6A epitranscriptome in various antibiotic-induced microbiota dysbiosis models. With multi-omics analysis, we find that the imbalance of gut microbiota can rewire host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic profiles in brain, liver and intestine. We further explore the underlying mechanisms regulating host mRNA m6A methylome by depleting the microbiota with ampicillin. Metabolomic profiling shows that cholic acids are the main down-regulated metabolites with Firmicutes as the most significantly reduced genus in ampicillin-treated mice comparing to untreated mice. Fecal microbiota transplantations in germ-free mice and metabolites supplementations in cells verify that cholic acids are associated with host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic rewiring. Collectively, this study employs an integrative multi-omics analysis to demonstrate the impact of gut microbiota dysbiosis on host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic landscape via cholic acid metabolism.

Diet-induced modifications to human microbiome reshape colonic homeostasis in irritable bowel syndrome (RNA-Seq II)

Project description:Changes in microbiome composition have been associated with a wide array of human diseases, turning the human microbiota into an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. Yet clinical translation of these findings requires the establishment of causative connections between specific microbial taxa and their functional impact on host tissues. Here, we infused gut organ cultures with longitudinal microbiota samples collected from therapy-naïve irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients under low-FODMAP (fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides and Polyols) diet. We show that post-diet microbiota regulates intestinal expression of inflammatory and neuro-muscular gene-sets. Specifically, we identify Bifidobacterium adolescentis as a diet-sensitive pathobiont that alters tight junction integrity and disrupts gut barrier functions. Collectively, we present a unique pathway discovery approach for mechanistic dissection and identification of functional diet-host-microbiota modules. Our data support the hypothesis that the gut microbiota mediates the beneficial effects of low-FODMAP diet and reinforce the potential feasibility of microbiome based-therapies in IBS.

Metaproteomic assessment of gut microbial and host functional perturbations in Helicobacter pylori-infected patients subjected to an antimicrobial protocol

Project description:The impact of therapeutic interventions on the human gut microbiota (GM) is a clinical issue of paramount interest given the strong interconnection between microbial dynamics and human health. Orally administered antibiotics are known to reduce GM biomass and modify GM taxonomic profile. However, the impact of antimicrobial therapies on GM functions and biochemical pathways has scarcely been studied. Here, we characterized the fecal metaproteome of 10 Helicobacter pylori-infected patients before (T0) and after 10 days (T1) of a successful quadruple therapy (bismuth, tetracycline, metronidazole, and rabeprazole) and 30 days after therapy cessation (T2), to investigate how GM and host functions change during the eradication and healing processes. At T1, the abundance ratio between microbial and host proteins was reversed compared with that at T0 and T2. Several pathobionts (including Klebsiella, Proteus, Enterococcus, Muribaculum, and Enterocloster) were increased at T1. Therapy reshaped the relative contributions of the functions required to produce acetate, propionate, and butyrate. Proteins related to the uptake and processing of complex glycans were increased. Microbial cross-feeding with sialic acid, fucose, and rhamnose was enhanced, whereas hydrogen sulfide production was reduced. Finally, microbial proteins involved in antibiotic resistance and inflammation were more abundant after therapy. Moreover, a reduction in host proteins with known roles in inflammation and H. pylori-mediated carcinogenesis was observed. In conclusion, our results support the use of metaproteomics to monitor drug-induced remodeling of GM and host functions, opening the way for investigating new antimicrobial therapies aimed at preserving gut environmental homeostasis.

Transcriptome-wide mapping of host mRNA m6A modification to decipher the role of gut microbiome

Project description:A recently layer of gene expression regulation is N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mRNA modification. The role of gut microbiota in modulating host m6A epitranscriptomic and gene expression has not been studied. To decipher the role of gut microbiome, we profiled m6A mRNA modification epitranscriptomic mark in conventional mice compared to germ free mice. Transcriptome-wide mapping of host m6A mRNA modifications in four mice tissues allowed us to discover that gut microbiota can greatly impact host m6A mRNA modifications. The expression levels of m6A writers in mice tissues are regulated by gut microbiota. In conclusion, we report transcriptome-wide mapping of host m6A mRNA modifications regulated by gut microbiota. The present study can help better understand the role of the microbiome in host gene expression and host-microbiome interactions.
