Dietary iron attenuates Clostridioides difficile infection via modulating intestinal immune response and gut microbiota

ABSTRACT:

Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) causes antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Susceptibility to C. difficile infection (CDI) is largely affected by the gut microbiota, which in turn is influenced by diet. However, the mechanism underlying the interplay between diet and the gut microbiota that regulates host susceptibility to CDI remains unclear. To investigate the effects of a high-iron diet on the intestinal immune response, microbiota, and metabolism in mice infected with C. difficile, we explored the specific role of the unique gut microbiota and metabolites on CDI. A mouse model of CDI was constructed with or without high dietary iron treatment. High dietary iron (400 mg/kg ferrous sulfate) alleviated CDI by decreasing the pathogenicity of C. difficile and altering host intestinal neutrophil recruitment. The effect of high iron levels on the gut microbiota was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and the role of gut microbiota was confirmed by fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Furthermore, E. coli AVS0501, enriched in the gut microbiota of iron-treated CDI mice, was found to have prophylactic and therapeutic effects on CDI. Moreover, the production of L-proline and tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) in CDI mice treated with high dietary iron directly determines the colonization and toxin production of C. difficile, and in turn, regulates the intestinal neutrophil response. In summary, high dietary iron alleviates C. difficile induced enteritis by regulating gut microbiota. Overall, the interplay between dietary iron and gut microbiota maintains gut homeostasis in CDI and determines the severity of CDI, suggesting that high dietary iron may be an important determinant of disease control.

Project description:Background: The long-term high-fat, high-sugar diet exacerbates type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)-related cognitive impairments. The negative impact of poor dietary patterns on brain development and neurological function may be related to gut microbiota disturbance. The role of phlorizin in mitigating glucose and lipid metabolism disorders is well documented. However, the protective effect of phlorizin on diabetes-related cognitive dysfunction is unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of phlorizin on high-fat and high-fructose diet (HFFD)-induced cognitive dysfunction and evaluate the crucial role of the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Results: Dietary supplementation of phlorizin for 14 weeks effectively prevented glucolipid metabolism disorder, spatial learning impairment, and memory impairment in HFFD mice. In addition, phlorizin improved the HFFD-induced decrease in synaptic plasticity, neuroinflammation, and excessive activation of microglia in the hippocampus. Transcriptomics analysis shows that the protective effect of phlorizin on cognitive impairment was associated with increased expression of neurotransmitters and synapse-related genes in the hippocampus. Phlorizin treatment alleviated colon microbiota disturbance, mainly manifested by an increase in gut microbiota diversity and the abundance of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria. The level of microbial metabolites, including SCFA, inosine 5'-monophosphate (IMP), and D (-)-beta-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB) were also significantly increased after phlorizin treatment. Moreover, integrating multiomics analysis observed tight connections between phlorizin-regulated genes, microbiota, and metabolites. Furthermore, removal of the gut microbiota via antibiotics treatment diminished the protective effect of phlorizin against HFFD-induced cognitive impairment, underscoring the critical role of the gut microbiota in mediating cognitive behavior. Importantly, supplementation with SCFA and BHB alone mimicked the regulatory effects of phlorizin on cognitive function. Conclusions: These results indicate that gut microbiota and their metabolites mediate the ameliorative effect of phlorizin on HFFD-induced cognitive impairment. Therefore, phlorizin can be used as an easy-to-implement nutritional therapy to prevent and alleviate metabolism-related neurodegenerative diseases by targeting the regulation of the microbiome-gut-brain axis.

Project description:The human gut microbiota is an important metabolic organ, yet little is known about how its individual species interact, establish dominant positions, and respond to changes in environmental factors such as diet. In this study, gnotobiotic mice were colonized with an artificial microbiota comprising 12 sequenced human gut bacterial species and fed oscillating diets of disparate composition. Rapid, reproducible, and reversible changes in the structure of this assemblage were observed. Time-series microbial RNA-Seq analyses revealed staggered functional responses to diet shifts throughout the assemblage that were heavily focused on carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. High-resolution shotgun metaproteomics confirmed many of these responses at a protein level. One member, Bacteroides cellulosilyticus WH2, proved exceptionally fit regardless of diet. Its genome encoded more carbohydrate active enzymes than any previously sequenced member of the Bacteroidetes. Transcriptional profiling indicated that B. cellulosilyticus WH2 is an adaptive forager that tailors its versatile carbohydrate utilization strategy to available dietary polysaccharides, with a strong emphasis on plant-derived xylans abundant in dietary staples like cereal grains. Two highly expressed, diet-specific polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs) in B. cellulosilyticus WH2 were identified, one with characteristics of xylan utilization systems. Introduction of a B. cellulosilyticus WH2 library comprising >90,000 isogenic transposon mutants into gnotobiotic mice, along with the other artificial community members, confirmed that these loci represent critical diet-specific fitness determinants. Carbohydrates that trigger dramatic increases in expression of these two loci and many of the organism’s 111 other predicted PULs were identified by RNA-Seq during in vitro growth on 31 distinct carbohydrate substrates, allowing us to better interpret in vivo RNA-Seq and proteomics data. These results offer insight into how gut microbes adapt to dietary perturbations at both a community level and from the perspective of a well-adapted symbiont with exceptional saccharolytic capabilities, and illustrate the value of artificial communities. 611 samples total (221 from experiment 1, 390 from experiment 2).
