Syringaresinol delays immunosenescence in aged mice: rejuvenating the immune system and reconstituting the gut microbiota

ABSTRACT: Improving immune function during aging contributes to the extension of healthspan. However, little is known about interventions for overcoming immunosenescence. Here, we investigated whether syringaresinol (SYR), an activator of FOXO3, overcomes immunosenescence and the factors associated with this effect. To address this, we administered SYR to 42-week-old mice for 10 weeks and analyzed immunological parameters and the gut microbiota. Compared to control mice, SYR-treated mice exhibited reversal of the age-related changes in lymphocyte subsets—such as CD3+ T, CD19+ B and Foxp3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells—and T-cell function in vitro. SYR induced the expression of Bim as well as the activation of FOXO3 in Tregs, which probably regulated Treg homeostasis. Furthermore, SYR reduced the serum level of lipopolysaccharide-binding protein, an inflammatory marker, and enriched the gut microbiota with beneficial bacteria, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, effects that were closely associated with the changes in lymphocyte subsets. Finally, SYR enhanced humoral immunity against influenza vaccination to the level of young control mice. Collectively, these findings indicate that SYR may rejuvenate immunosenescence by enhancing the immune response and modulating the gut microbiota, possibly affecting systemic inflammation, although the precise mechanism awaits further study, and suggest SYR to be a potent candidate for anti-immunosenescence intervention.

Microbiota are dispensable for early stages of de novo regulatory T cell induction within mesenteric lymph nodes

Project description:Intestinal Foxp3+ regulatory T cell (Treg) subsets are crucial players for tolerance towards microbiota-derived and food-borne antigens, and compelling evidence suggests that intestinal microbiota modulate their differentiation and maintenance. Selected bacterial species and microbiota-derived metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have been reported to foster Treg homeostasis in the intestinal lamina propria. Furthermore, gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) are particularly efficient sites of de novo Treg induction, and we could previously show that mLN stromal cells contribute to this process. Yet, it is not fully elucidated which direct role microbiota and their metabolites play for the early stages of de novo Treg induction and in shaping the Treg transcriptome already during the initial priming within mLNs. Here, we show that neither dysbiotic microbiota nor dietary SCFA supplementation impact de novo induction of Foxp3+ Tregs within mLNs. Even mice housed under germ-free (GF) conditions displayed equivalent frequencies of de novo induced Foxp3+ Tregs within mLNs. Further dissection of the accessible chromatin and transcriptome revealed that microbiota indeed have a limited impact on fostering the establishment of peripherally induced Tregs and do not contribute to the initialization of the epigenetic landscape for an extensive Treg signature. Viewed as a whole, our data suggest that microbiota are dispensable for the early stages of de novo Treg induction within mLNs, while being required to foster further Treg differentiation and homeostasis at later stages within the intestinal lamina propria.

The microbiota is dispensable for the early stages of peripheral regulatory T cell induction within mesenteric lymph nodes

Project description:Intestinal Foxp3+ regulatory T cell (Treg) subsets are crucial players in tolerance to microbiota-derived and food-borne antigens, and compelling evidence suggests that the intestinal microbiota modulates their generation, functional specialization, and maintenance. Selected bacterial species and microbiota-derived metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), have been reported to promote Treg homeostasis in the intestinal lamina propria. Furthermore, gut-draining mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) are particularly efficient sites for the generation of peripherally induced Tregs (pTregs). Despite this knowledge, the direct role of the microbiota and their metabolites in the early stages of pTreg induction within mLNs is not fully elucidated. Here, using an adoptive transfer-based pTreg induction system, we demonstrate that neither transfer of a dysbiotic microbiota nor dietary SCFA supplementation modulated the pTreg induction capacity of mLNs. Even mice housed under germ-free (GF) conditions displayed equivalent pTreg induction within mLNs. Further molecular characterization of these de novo induced pTregs from mLNs by dissection of their transcriptomes and accessible chromatin regions revealed that the microbiota indeed has a limited impact and does not contribute to the initialization of the Treg-specific epigenetic landscape. Overall, our data suggest that the microbiota is dispensable for the early stages of pTreg induction within mLNs.

Single-cell RNA seq reveals the transcriptional landscape and heterogeneity of macrophages in murine gut tissues

Project description:CD11b+ cell populations, especially macrophages are highly heterogeneous tissue resident immune cells in both mice and human. Exact subsets and their phenotype remain unknown. We here analyzed gut CD11b+ cell populations using scRNA-seq in normal, inflamed and Nlrc4 deficient mice. There existed twelve CD11b+ cell populations and subsets in SPF mice. These CD11b+ subsets were changeable dependent on inflammation and gut environment. We found consistent high expression of Ly6C, Cd62L, previously undescribed Trem1 and Ccr7 in Ly6Chigh macrophages and Cd206 and Cx3cr1 in Ly6Clow/neg cell population in different mice. However, signature genes showed that resident macrophages but not inflammatory macrophages were highly conserved in normal and inflamed mice. Gut microbiota play a role in accumulation and differentiation of gut macrophages. Both Ly6Chigh and Ly6Clow macrophages in intestine and colon tissues are similar. These uncover the transcriptional landscape and phenotypic heterogeneity of CD11b+ cells, especially macrophages in gut tissues.

Gut microbiota transplantation in conventional mice

Project description:Gut microbiota dysbiosis characterizes systemic metabolic alteration, yet its causality is debated. To address this issue, we transplanted antibiotic-free conventional wild-type mice with either dysbiotic (“obese”) or eubiotic (“lean”) gut microbiota and fed them either a NC or a 72%HFD. We report that, on NC, obese gut microbiota transplantation reduces hepatic gluconeogenesis with decreased hepatic PEPCK activity, compared to non-transplanted mice. Of note, this phenotype is blunted in conventional NOD2KO mice. By contrast, lean microbiota transplantation did not affect hepatic gluconeogenesis. In addition, obese microbiota transplantation changed both gut microbiota and microbiome of recipient mice. Interestingly, hepatic gluconeogenesis, PEPCK and G6Pase activity were reduced even once mice transplanted with the obese gut microbiota were fed a 72%HFD, together with reduced fed glycaemia and adiposity compared to non-transplanted mice. Notably, changes in gut microbiota and microbiome induced by the transplantation were still detectable on 72%HFD. Finally, we report that obese gut microbiota transplantation may impact on hepatic metabolism and even prevent HFD-increased hepatic gluconeogenesis. Our findings may provide a new vision of gut microbiota dysbiosis, useful for a better understanding of the aetiology of metabolic diseases. all livers are from NC-fed mice only.

Composition of colonic microbes in mice deficient in intestinal Treg subsets

Project description:Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are immune cells that play a crucial role in maintaining tolerance to harmless antigens, including commensal microbes. In the intestine, Tregs can be classified into subsets based on their expression of transcription factors Helios, Rorg, Gata3 and cMaf. The exact functions of the intestinal Treg subsets and their role in maintaining tolerance to intestinal microbes is not fully understood. Here, we generated conditional knockout mice of each Treg subset and profiled the composition of their intestinal microbiota by performing 16S rRNA sequencing of stool from conditional knockouts and matched littermate controls.

Age associated differences in microbiome in Rhesus Macaque

Project description:Aging is associated with declining immunity and inflammation as well as alterations in the gut microbiome with a decrease of beneficial microbes and increase in pathogenic ones. The aim of this study was to investigate aging associated gut microbiome in relation to immunologic and metabolic profile in a non-human primate (NHP) model. 12 old (age>18 years) and 4 young (age 3-6 years) Rhesus macaques were included in this study. Immune cell subsets were characterized in PBMC by flow cytometry and plasma cytokines levels were determined by bead based multiplex cytokine analysis. Stool samples were collected by ileal loop and investigated for microbiome analysis by shotgun metagenomics. Serum, gut microbial lysate and microbe-free fecal extract were subjected to metabolomic analysis by mass-spectrometry. Our results showed that the old animals exhibited higher inflammatory biomarkers in plasma and lower CD4 T cells with altered distribution of naïve and memory T cell maturation subsets. The gut microbiome in old animals had higher abundance of Archaeal and Proteobacterial species and lower Firmicutes than the young. Significant enrichment of metabolites that contribute to inflammatory and cytotoxic pathways was observed in serum and feces of old animals compared to the young. We conclude that aging NHP undergo immunosenescence and age associated alterations in the gut microbiome that has a distinct metabolic profile.

Aged gut microbiota contributes to systemical inflammaging after transfer to germ-free mice

Project description:Advanced age is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, which is usually referred to as inflammaging. Elderly are also known to have an altered gut microbiota composition. However, whether inflammaging is a cause or consequence of an altered gut microbiota composition is not clear. In this study gut microbiota from young or old conventional mice was transferred to young germ-free mice. Four weeks after gut microbiota transfer immune cell populations in spleen, Peyer’s patches, and mesenteric lymph nodes from conventionalized germ-free mice were analyzed by flow cytometry. In addition, whole-genome gene expression in the ileum was analyzed by microarray. Gut microbiota composition of donor and recipient mice was analyzed with 16S rDNA sequencing. Here we show by transferring aged microbiota to young germ-free mice that certain bacterial species within the aged microbiota promote inflammaging. This effect was associated with lower levels of Akkermansia and higher levels of TM7 bacteria and Proteobacteria in the aged microbiota after transfer. The aged microbiota promoted inflammation in the small intestine in the germ-free mice and enhanced leakage of inflammatory bacterial components into the circulation was observed. Moreover, the aged microbiota promoted increased T cell activation in the systemic compartment. In conclusion, these data indicate that the gut microbiota from old mice contributes to inflammaging after transfer to young germ-free mice.
