Lipidomics analysis of outer membrane vesicles and elucidation of the ceramide phosphoinositol biosynthetic pathway in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

ABSTRACT: In this work, we characterized the lipid composition of membranes and OMV from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron VPI-5482. LC-MS analysis indicate that OMV carry sphingolipids, glycerophospholipids and serine-dipeptide lipids. Sphingolipid species represent more than 50% of the total lipid content of OMV. The most abundant sphingolipids in OMV are ceramide phosphoethanolamine (CerPE) and ceramide phosphoinositol (CerPI). Bioinformatic analysis allowed the identification of the BT1522-1526 operon putatively involved in CerPI synthesis. Mutagenesis studies revealed BT1522-1526 are essential for synthesis of PI and CerPI, confirming the role of this operon in biosynthesis of CerPI. BT1522-1526 mutant strains lacking CerPI produced OMV that were indistinguishable from the wild-type strain, indicating that CerPI sphingolipid species are not involved in OMV biogenesis. Bacteroides sphingolipids are thought to modulate host-commensal interactions, and based on our data, we propose that OMV could act as long distance delivery vehicles for these molecules.

Comprehensive analysis of lipid metabolism-related enzymes including ceramide in skin of psoriasis patients

Project description:Ceramide is an important lipid in skin barrier function. Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, and the skin barrier function has disturbed. Furthermore, the balance of each ceramide species in stratum corneum is disrupted in psoriatic skin. However, it involved remains unclear what detailed mechanism ceramide species changed in psoriatic skin lesion. We comprehensively investigated lipid metabolism including ceramide in skin of psoriasis patients by DNA microarray analysis. The expression level of PNPLA1 gene involved in acylceramide synthesis which is epidermis-specific ceramide species essential for skin barrier function was decreased in psoriatic skin. In contrast, the expression level of lipid metabolism-related enzymes gene including ceramide were increased in psoriatic skin. Consequently, the acylceramide synthesis was decreased in skin of psoriasis patients, suggesting that increased biosynthesis of other sphingolipids to supplement the function of acylceramide may cause the pathology of psoriasis.

Lipid profiling of caecal samples from GF mice colonized with B. thetaiotaomicron WT or the ΔSPT mutants (part III)

Project description:To study Bacteroidetes sphingolipids in intestinal health, we colonized germ-free mice with wild type or a sphingolipid-deficient Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron strain. A lack of Bacteroides derived sphingolipids increased intestinal inflammation, dysregulated innate immunity and altered the host ceramide pool.

Rewiring endothelial cell sphingolipid metabolism to favor S1P over ceramide signaling protects from coronary atherosclerosis

Project description:Growing evidence correlated changes in bioactive sphingolipids, particularly sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) and ceramides, with coronary artery diseases. Furthermore, specific plasma ceramide species can predict major cardiovascular events. Dysfunction of the endothelium lining lesion-prone areas plays a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. Yet, how sphingolipid metabolism and signaling change and contribute to endothelial dysfunction and atherosclerosis remain poorly understood. By using a mouse model of coronary atherosclerosis, we demonstrated that hemodynamic stress induces an early metabolic rewiring of endothelial sphingolipid de novo biosynthesis favoring S1P signaling over ceramide as protective response. Furthermore, our data are paradigm shift from the current believe that ceramide accrual contributes to endothelial dysfunction. The de novo biosynthesis of sphingolipids is commenced by serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT), and is downregulated by NOGO-B, an ER membrane protein. We showed that Nogo-B is upregulated by hemodynamic stress in myocardial endothelial cells (EC) of ApoE-/- mice and is expressed in the endothelium lining coronary lesions in mice and human. We demonstrated that mice lacking Nogo-B specifically in EC (Nogo-A/BECKOApoE-/-) were resistant to coronary atherosclerosis development and progression, and mortality. Fibrous cap thickness was significantly increased in Nogo-A/BECKOApoE-/- mice and correlated with reduced necrotic core and macrophage infiltration. Mechanistically, the deletion of Nogo-B in EC sustained the rewiring of sphingolipid metabolism towards S1P, imparting an atheroprotective transcriptional signature that refrain coronary atherogenesis and its progression. These findings also set forth the foundation for sphingolipid-based therapeutics to reduce the treat this condition.

Depolymerization of plant cell wall glycans by symbiotic human gut bacteria (Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron)

Project description:Symbiotic bacteria inhabiting the distal human gut have evolved under intense pressure to utilize complex carbohydrates, predominantly plant cell wall glycans abundant in our diets. These substrates are recalcitrant to depolymerization by digestive enzymes encoded in the human genome, but are efficiently targeted by some of the ~103-104 bacterial species that inhabit this niche. These species augment our comparatively narrow carbohydrate digestive capacity by unlocking otherwise unusable sugars and fermenting them into host-absorbable forms, such as short-chain fatty acids. We used phenotype profiling, whole-genome transcriptional analysis and molecular genetic approaches to investigate complex glycan utilization by two fully sequenced and closely related human gut symbionts: Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and Bacteroides ovatus. Together these species target all of the common glycosidic linkages found in the plant cell wall, as well as host polysaccharides, but each species exhibits a unique ‘glycan niche’: in vitro B. thetaiotaomicron targets plant cell wall pectins in addition to linkages contained in host N- and O-glycans; B. ovatus uniquely targets hemicellulosic polysaccharides along with several pectins, but is deficient in host glycan utilization. Growth of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron in vitro in minimal medium plus different purified complex glycans. Observation of increased gene expression was used to determine genes that are involved in metabolism of each glycan. Two biological replicates each.

Aging stress and ceramide dependent RNA sequencing expression profiling depends on ceramide synthase 6

Project description:The bioactive sphingolipid ceramide, generated by ceramide synthase, is an adaptive stress effector induced in response to various stress stimuli such as aging. In fact, ceramide synthase (CerS) was first discovered in yeast as a longevity assurance gene (LAG1), as the reduced ceramide generation consequent to LAG1 deletion increased longevity. There are six homologues of mammalian LAG1/ceramide synthases (CerS1-6) that generate ceramides with different fatty acid chain lengths with distinct functions and hydrophobicity. Ceramide can be metabolized by sphingosine kinase 1 or 2 for the generation of pro-survival sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), which enhances immune cell egress to the blood stream, activating immune function. Ceramide is known to induce mitophagy and cell death. Here we investigated the role of this sphingolipid pathway in immune function, specifically T cell functions, via high throughput expression profiling.

Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron ameliorates colon inflammation in preclinical models of Crohn’s Disease [mouse colon]

Project description:Analysis of the gut transcriptome as affected by treatment with Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron in a mouse model of IBD Here, we report analysis of the gut transcriptome in IL10KO mice after treatment with Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (BT). Comparative transcriptome analysis of ascending colon tissue of IL10KO and IL10KO/BT-treated mice showed differential expression of a wide range of genes associated with inflammatory responses between the two treatment groups. Expression of proinflammatory genes and genes involved in pathogen recognition was particularly lower in IL10KO/BT mice.
