Gender bias in autoimmunity is influenced by microbiota

ABSTRACT: Gender bias and the role of sex hormones in autoimmune diseases are well established. In specific-pathogen free (SPF) non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice females have 1.3-4.4 times higher incidence of Type 1 diabetes (T1D). Germ-free (GF) mice lose the gender bias (female/male ratio 1.1-1.2). Gut microbiota differed in males and females, a trend reversed by male castration, confirming that androgens influence gut microbiota. Colonization of GF NOD mice with defined microbiota revealed that some but not all lineages overrepresented in male mice supported a gender bias in T1D, and protection did not correlate with androgen levels. However, hormone-supported selective microbial lineage variation may work as a positive feedback mechanism contributing to the sexual dimorphism of autoimmune diseases. Gene expression analysis suggested pathways involved in protection of males from T1D by microbiota.

However, hormone-supported selective microbial lineage variation may work as a positive feedback mechanism contributing to the sexual dimorphism of autoimmune diseases. Gene expression analysis suggested pathways involved in protection of males from T1D by microbiota. We compared gene expression patterns in the pancreatic lymph nodes (PLNs) between four groups of mice (two genders in SPF and GF conditions, respectively). PLNs were isolated from 9-10 week old GF and SPF male and female NOD mice with 3 mice in each group, for a total of 12 samples.

The effect of antibiotic mediated gut microbiome perturbation on ileal gene expression in NOD mice.

Project description:The early life microbiome plays important roles in host immunological and metabolic development. Because type 1 diabetes (T1D) incidence has been increasing substantially in recent decades, we hypothesized that early-life antibiotic use alters gut microbiota that predisposes to disease. Using NOD mice that are genetically susceptible to T1D, we examined the effects of exposure to either continuous low-dose antibiotics or pulsed therapeutic antibiotics (PAT) early in life, mimicking childhood exposures. We found that in mice receiving PAT, T1D incidence was significantly higher, microbial community composition and structure differed compared with controls. In pre-diabetic male PAT mice, the intestinal lamina propria had lower Th17 and T reg proportions and intestinal SAA expression than in controls, suggesting key roles in transducing the altered microbiota signals. PAT affected microbial lipid metabolism and host cholesterol biosynthetic gene expression. These findings show that early-life antibiotic treatments alter the gut microbiota and its metabolic capacities, intestinal gene expression, and T-cell populations, accelerating T1D onset in NOD mice.

Genome wide study of microglia in Specific-pathogen-free (SPF) and Germ-free (GF) mice at different stages in males and females (RNA-Seq)

Project description:RNAseq was performed on microglia from male and female, SPF or GF mice to elucidate the genetic differences implicated by microbiota and gender. DEGs between the various groups gave some ideas on what different pathways or functions might be affected due to the different factors.

Genome wide study of microglia in Specific-pathogen-free (SPF) and Germ-free (GF) mice at different stages in males and females.

Project description:ATACseq was performed on microglia from male and female, SPF or GF mice to elucidate the chromatin accessibility implicated by microbiota and gender. Differential accessible regions (DARs) between the various groups gave some ideas on what different pathways or functions might be affected due to the different factors.

Proteomic analysis of brain region and gender-specific synaptic protein expression in the adult mouse brain

Project description:In a wide range of synaptopathies a sex/gender bias in prevalence and clinical course has been reported. Therefore, analysis of the synaptic proteinaceous inventory in different brain regions in males and females is very desirable in understanding the molecular basis of brain function and the etiology of its diseases. In this study we analyzed the synaptic proteome of the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, striatum and cerebellum in male and female mice. Our efforts should serve as a neurobiological framework to better understand the regional and sex/gender-specific synaptic function both in health and disease.

Maternal cecal microbiota transfer rescues early-life antibiotic-induced enhancement of type 1 diabetes in mice-the long term restoration

Project description:Early-life antibiotic exposure perturbs the intestinal microbiota, alters innate intestinal immunity, and accelerates type 1 diabetes development in the NOD mouse model. Here we found that maternal cecal microbiota transfer (CMT) to NOD mice with early-life antibiotic perturbation partially rescued the induced T1D acceleration. The restoration effects on the intestinal microbiome were substantial and persistent, remediating the antibiotic-depleted diversity, relative abundance of particular taxa, and metabolic pathways. CMT also protected against perturbed cecal and serum metabolites and normalized innate and adaptive immune effectors. CMT restored patterns of ileal microRNA and histone regulation of gene expression and exon-splicing. Based on the analyses of experimental data, we propose an innate intestinal immune network involving CD44, TLR2, and Reg3g, as well as their multiple microRNA and epigenetic regulators that sense intestinal signaling by the gut microbiota. This regulation affects downstream immunological tone, leading to protection against the tissue-specific T1D injury.

Gender and strain dependent differences in intestinal immunology correlate with differences in microbiota composition (ileum)

Project description:A dysbiosis in the intestinal microbiome plays a role in the pathogenesis of several immunological diseases. These diseases often show a gender bias, suggesting gender differences in immune responses and in the intestinal microbiome. We hypothesized that gender differences in immune responses are associated with gender differences in microbiota. We demonstrated mouse strain dependent gender differences in the intestinal microbiome. Interestingly, a cluster of colonic genes (related to humoral and cell-mediated immune responses) correlated oppositely with microbiota species abundant in B6 females and in BALB/c males. This suggests that with different genetic backgrounds, gender associated immune responses are differentially regulated by microbiota. The net result was the same, since both mouse strains showed similar gender induced differences in immune cell populations in the mesenteric lymph nodes. Therefore, host-microbe interactions might be more complicated than assumed, as bacterial-species adaptations might be highly dependent on the genetic make-up of the individual.

Intestinal expression in murine antibiotic-induced acceleration of Type 1 diabetes

Project description:Here we asked whether the single early-life (pup day of life P5-P10) antibiotic pulse was sufficient to enhance Type-1 Diabetes (T1D) in Non Obese Diabetic (NOD) mice. Two sets of experimental samples were analyzed for changes in intestinal pathway expression using the NOD mouse model and Pulsed Antibiotic Therapy (PAT). NODPAT sought to describe the intestinal changes related to early life PAT treatment while the RESTORE experiment sought to restore an antibiotic-perturbed host and measure the intestinal expression changes over time. We provide evidence that maternal microbiota provides partial restoration of both the altered pup microbiota and its immunological phenotypes.
