Project description:The microbiota has been recognized as a critical contributor to various diseases, with multiple reports of changes in the composition of the gut microbiome in the context of not only inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but also neurodegenerative diseases. These microbial shifts can exert systemic effects by altering the release of specific metabolites into the bloodstream, and the gastrointestinal microbiota has further been reported to exhibit immunomodulatory activity through the activation of innate and adaptive immunity. However, it remains unclear how the intestinal microbiota contributes to inflammation in the central nervous system (CNS), where these microorganisms are typically absent. Here, we report that ileum- and cecum-colonizing segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB)-specific T cells can induce inflammation in both the intestines and the CNS. Commensal-specific CD4 T cells that are dysregulated in the inflamed gut can become licensed to infiltrate into the CNS irrespective of their antigen specificity and have the potential to be re-stimulated by host protein-derived antigens in the CNS via molecular mimicry, whereupon they produce high levels of GM-CSF, TNFa, IFNg, and IL-17A, triggering neurological damage. We find that these infiltrated commensal-specific CD4 T cells initiate CNS inflammation by activating microglia through their IL-23R dependent encephalitogenic program and their IL-23R-independent GM-CSF production. Together, our findings reveal a potential mechanism whereby perturbation of commensal-specific T cells can contribute to extraintestinal inflammation.

Project description:Auricularia auricula is a well-known traditional edible and medicinal fungus with high nutritional and pharmacological values, as well as metabolic and immunoregulatory properties. However, the exact mechanisms underlying the effects of Auricularia auricula polysaccharides (AAP) on obesity and related metabolic endpoints, including the role of the gut microbiota, remain insufficiently understood. To determine the mechanistic role of the gut microbiota in observed anti-obesogenic effects AAP, faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and pseudo germ-free mice model treated with antibiotics were also applied, together with 16S rRNA genomic-derived taxonomic profiling. HFD murine exposure to AAP thwarted weight-gains, reduced fat depositing, together with upregulating thermogenesis proteomic biomarkers within adipose tissue. These effects were associated with diminished intestine/bloodstream-borne lipid transportation, together with enhanced glucose tolerance. FMT administered in tandem with antibiotic treatment demonstrated the intestinal microbiota was necessary in deploying AAP anti-obesogenic functions. Intestine-dwelling microbial population assessments discovered AAP to enhance (in a selective manner) Papillibacter cinnamivorans, a commensal bacterium having reduced presence within HFD mice. Notably, HFD mice treated with oral formulations of Papillibacter cinnamivorans diminished obesity and was linked to decreased intestinal lipid transportation. Datasets from the present study show that AAP thwarted dietary-driven obesity and metabolism-based disorders through regulating intestinal lipid transportation, a mechanism that is dependent on the gut commensal Papillibacter cinnamivorans. These results indicated AAP and Papillibacter cinnamivorans as newly identified pre- and probiotics that could possibly serve as novel countermeasure against obesity.

Project description:The human intestinal microbiota plays an essential role in host health. Modifications in its composition and diversity could induce pathologies such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). These diseases are characterized by an unbalanced intestinal microbiota (a process known as dysbiosis) and an altered immune response. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, the most abundant commensal bacterium in the human intestinal microbiota of healthy individuals (representing more than 5% of the total bacterial population), has been reported to be lower in feces and mucosa-associated microbiota of IBD patients. In addition, we have shown that both F. prausnitzii and its culture supernatant (SN) have anti-inflammatory and protective effects in both acute and chronic colitis models. However, the host molecular mechanisms involved in these anti-inflammatory effects remain unknown. In order to address this issue, we performed DNA chip-based transcriptomic analyses in HT-29 human intestinal epithelial cells stimulated with TNF-a and exposed to F. prausnitzii SN or to BHI (growth medium for F prausnitzii).

Project description:The gastrointestinal tract of mammals is inhabited by hundreds of distinct species of commensal microorganisms that exist in a mutualistic relationship with the host. The process by which the commensal microbiota influence the host immune system is poorly understood. We show here that colonization of the small intestine of mice with a single commensal microbe, segmented filamentous bacterium (SFB), is sufficient to induce the appearance of CD4+ T helper cells that produce IL-17 and IL-22 (Th17 cells) in the lamina propria. SFB adhere tightly to the surface of epithelial cells in the terminal ileum of mice with Th17 cells but are absent from mice that have few Th17 cells. Colonization with SFB was correlated with increased expression of genes associated with inflammation, anti-microbial defenses, and tissue repair, and resulted in enhanced resistance to the intestinal pathogen Citrobacter rodentium. Control of Th17 cell differentiation by SFB may thus establish a balance between optimal host defense preparedness and potentially damaging T cell responses. Manipulation of this commensal-regulated pathway may provide new opportunities for enhancing mucosal immunity and treating autoimmune disease. Experiment Overall Design: We compared the gene expression profiles in the terminal ileum of Swiss-Webster GF mice before and after colonization with SFB, which induced robust Th17 cell differentiation. To sieve out host effects, the role of other microbiota, as well as other factors, we also evaluated the transcriptional program induced in Jackson C57BL/6 mice after co-housing with Taconic B6 animals, which also induces Th17 cell differentiation. 0.5 cm of the most distal part of the small intestine was dissected. Total RNA was extracted with TRIzol. RNA was labeled and hybridized to GeneChip Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays following the Affymetrix protocols. Data were analyzed in GeneSpring GX10.

Project description:Plant premature senescence is a major reason for agricultural losses caused by abiotic stress. Tools for suppressing stress-induced plant senescence are important but rare. Herein we report that diacetyl, a natural compound emitted by a plant-beneficial bacterium, suppresses ABA-mediated foliar senescence in Arabidopsis thaliana under various abiotic stress conditions. Our results established diacetyl as an effective protector of stress-induced plant senescence and disclosed a molecular mechanism for bacteria-enhanced plant stress-resistance.

Project description:The gut microbiota influences both local and systemic inflammation. Inflammation contributes to development, progression and treatment of cancer, but it remains unclear whether commensal bacteria affect inflammation in the sterile tumor microenvironment. Here we show that disruption of the microbiota impairs the response of subcutaneous tumors to CpG-oligonucleotide immunotherapy and platinum chemotherapy. In antibiotic-treated or germ-free mice, tumor-infiltrating myeloid-derived cells responded poorly to therapy, resulting in lower cytokine production and tumor necrosis after CpG-oligonucleotide treatment, and deficient production of reactive oxygen species and cytotoxicity following chemotherapy. Thus, optimal responses to cancer therapy require an intact commensal microbiota that mediates its effects by modulating myeloid-derived cell functions in the tumor microenvironment. These findings underscore the importance of the microbiota in the outcome of disease treatment. Oxaliplatin treatment induces expression of pro-inflammatory genes, which are inhibited by antibiotic pretreatment. Our goal was to ascertain the effect of antibiotic on the tumor gene expression profile prior to treatment and early on after the treatment with chemotherapy (oxaliplatin). The time points were selected t

Project description:Colonizing commensal bacteria after birth are required for the proper development of the gastrointestinal tract. It is believed that bacterial colonization pattern in neonatal gut affects gut barrier function and immune system maturation. Studies on the development of faecal flora microbiota in infants on various formula feeds showed that the neonatal gut was first colonized with enterococci followed by other flora microbiota such as Bifidobacterium in breast feeding infants. Intriguingly, Bjorksten group Other studies showed that Bbabies who developed allergy were less often colonized with Enterococcus during the first month of life as compared to healthy infants. A lot of Many studies have been done on conducted to elucidate how bifidobacteria or lactobacilli, some of which are considered probiotic, regulate infant gut immunity. However, much fewer studies have been focused on enterococi. In our study, we demonstrate that E. faecalis, isolated from healthy newborns, suppress inflammatory responses activated in vivo and in vitro. We found E. faecalis attenuates proinflammatory cytokine secretions, especially IL-8, through JNK and p38 signaling pathways. This finding shed light on how the first colonizer, E.faecalis, regulate inflammatory responses in the host. Samples are analysed using web-based GEArray Expression Analysis Suite
