Longitudinal multi-omics reveals subset-specific mechanisms underlying irritable bowel syndrome

ABSTRACT:

The gut microbiome has been implicated in multiple human chronic gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Determining its mechanistic role in disease has been difficult due to apparent disconnects between animal and human studies and lack of an integrated multi-omics view of disease-specific physiological changes. We integrated longitudinal multi-omics data from the gut microbiome, metabolome, host epigenome, and transcriptome in the context of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) host physiology. We identified IBS subtype-specific and symptom-related variation in microbial composition and function. A subset of identified changes in microbial metabolites correspond to host physiological mechanisms that are relevant to IBS. By integrating multiple data layers, we identified purine metabolism as a novel host-microbial metabolic pathway in IBS with translational potential. Our study highlights the importance of longitudinal sampling and integrating complementary multi-omics data to identify functional mechanisms that can serve as therapeutic targets in a comprehensive treatment strategy for chronic GI diseases.

Project description:Background: While the luminal microbiome composition in the human cervicovaginal tract has been defined, the presence and impact of tissue-adherent ectocervical microbiota remain incompletely understood. Studies of luminal and tissue-associated bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract suggest that they may have distinct roles in health and disease. Here, we performed a multi-omics characterization of paired luminal and tissue samples collected from a clinically well-characterized cohort of Kenyan women. Results: We identified a tissue-adherent bacterial microbiome, with a higher alpha diversity than the luminal microbiome, in which dominant genera overall included Gardnerella and Lactobacillus, followed by Prevotella, Atopobium, and Sneathia. About half of the L. iners dominated luminal samples had a corresponding Gardnerella dominated tissue microbiome. Broadly, the tissue-adherent microbiome was associated with fewer differentially expressed host genes than the luminal microbiome. Gene set enrichment analysis revealed that L. crispatus-dominated tissue-adherent communities were associated with protein translation and antimicrobial activity, whereas a highly diverse microbiome was associated with epithelial remodeling and pro-inflammatory pathways. Communities dominated by L. iners and Gardnerella were associated with low host transcriptional activity. Tissue-adherent microbiomes dominated by Lactobacillus and Gardnerella correlated with host protein profiles associated with epithelial barrier stability, and with a more pro-inflammatory profile for the Gardnerella-dominated microbiome group. Tissue samples with a highly diverse composition had a protein profile representing cell proliferation and pro-inflammatory activity. Conclusion: We identified ectocervical tissue-adherent bacterial communities in all study participants. These communities were distinct from cervicovaginal luminal microbiota in a significant proportion of individuals. This difference could possibly explain that L. iners dominant luminal communities have a high probability of transitioning to high diverse bacterial communities including high abundance of Gardnerella. By performing integrative multi-omics analyses we further revealed that bacterial communities at both sites correlated with distinct host gene expression and protein levels. The tissue-adherent bacterial community is similar to vaginal biofilms that significantly impact women’s reproductive and sexual health.

Project description:Dysbiosis of subgingival microbiome promotes the growth of periodontopathogens and the development of periodontitis, an irreversible chronic inflammatory disease. Untreated periodontitis leads to the destruction of connective tissues, alveolar bone resorption and ultimately to tooth loss. Periodontitis has been associated with inflammatory metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. While periodontitis-induced inflammation is a key player in both, the development of subgingival microbiome dysbiosis and in the host-microbiome interaction, the effects of hyperglycemia on the regulation of the host genes controlling the inflammatory response and the host-microbiome interaction are still scarce. We investigated the impacts of a hyperglycemic microenvironment on the inflammatory response and gene expression of a gingival fibroblasts-macrophages coculture model stimulated with dysbiotic subgingival microbiomes. A coculture model composed of immortalized human gingival fibroblasts overlaid with U937 macrophages-likes cells were stimulated with subgingival microbiome collected from four healthy donors and four patients with periodontitis. Pro-inflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinase were measured by a Luminex assay while the coculture RNA was submitted to a microarray analysis. Subgingival microbiomes were submitted to 16s rRNA gene sequencing. Data were analyzed by using an advanced multi-omics bioinformatic data integration model. Our results showed that krt76, krt27, pnma5, mansc4, rab41, thoc6, tm6sf2, and znf506 as well as the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1, GM-CSF, FGF2, IL-10, the metalloproteinases MMP3 and MMP8, and bacteria from the ASV 105, ASV 211, ASV 299, Prevotella, Campylobacter and Fretibacterium genera are key correlated variables contributing to periodontitis-induced inflammatory response in a hyperglycemic microenvironment. To conclude, our multi-omics integration analysis unveiled unique differentially interrelated bacterial genera, genes and pro-inflammatory cytokines involved in the regulation of the inflammatory response in a hyperglycemic microenvironment. These data also highlight the importance of considering hyperglycemic conditions in the development of new drugs or treatments for periodontal disease in link with type 2 diabetes.
