Microbial Toll/interleukin-1 domain NADase activities

ABSTRACT: Recent work indicates that Toll/Interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain-containing proteins degrade NAD. Given increasing attention to how the gut microbiome contributes to NAD metabolism and healthy growth, we examined the representation and expressed NADase activities of its TIR domains. The NADase activities of 151 bacterial TIRs were characterized in vitro. Gut bacterial strains representing the diversity of TIRs observed in the microbiome, and activities observed in vitro, were introduced into germ-free mice fed defined diets. Mass spectrometry of cecal metabolites disclosed that a product of TIR NADase activity, variant cyclic-ADPR-x, distinguished colonized from germ-free animals. Mass spectrometry and microbial RNA-Seq of gnotobiotic mice colonized with one, two and all members of this bacterial consortium, identified Bacteroides xylanisolvens as the principal in vivo source of v-cADPR-x. Guided by bioinformatic analyses of biochemically validated TIR domains, we determined that compared to age-matched healthy Bangladeshi children, those with acute malnutrition had significantly lower fecal levels of TIRs known or predicted to generate v-cADPR-x, and of this metabolite. These results indicate that v-cADPR-x may be an informative biomarker of healthy gut microbiome development.

Xenobiotics shape the physiology and gene expression of the active human gut microbiome

Project description:The human gut is colonized by trillions of microorganisms that influence human health and disease through the metabolism of xenobiotics, including therapeutic drugs and antibiotics. The diversity and metabolic potential of the human gut microbiome have been extensively characterized, but it remains unclear which microorganisms are active and which perturbations can influence this activity. Here, we use flow cytometry, 16S rRNA gene sequencing, and metatranscriptomics to demonstrate that the human gut contains distinctive subsets of active and damaged microorganisms, primarily composed of Firmicutes, which display marked temporal variation. Short-term exposure to a panel of xenobiotics resulted in significant changes in the physiology and gene expression of this active microbiome. Xenobiotic-responsive genes were found across multiple bacterial phyla, encoding novel candidate proteins for antibiotic resistance, drug metabolism, and stress response. These results demonstrate the power of moving beyond DNA-based measurements of microbial communities to better understand their physiology and metabolism. RNA-Seq analysis of the human gut microbiome during exposure to antibiotics and therapeutic drugs.

Metaproteomic Profiling of Functional Changes Driven by Gut Fungal Colonization

Project description:Gut microbiome modulates the host immune development, yet the functional contribution of gut fungi remains elusive. We previously showed that mice colonized only with fungi displayed allergic features and fecal metabolite profiles similar to germ-free mice. To gain insights into the functional changes attributed to fungal colonization, we performed proteomic analyses of feces and small intestine of gnotobiotic mice colonized with either bacteria, fungi, or both. Comparison of fecal metaproteomic profiles between mouse groups yielded broad changes in the relative levels of bacterial, fungal and mouse proteins. Many of the detected fungal proteins have been previously reported as a part of extracellular vesicles and having immunomodulating properties. Changes in the levels of mouse proteins derived from the small intestine impacted essential cellular pathways, including lipid metabolism and apoptosis. The results show how fungal colonization impacts the host proteome and suggest an influence on the host final cellular phenotype.

E.faecalis regulate immune responses in HCT116 cells

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

Colonic Gene expression in mice colonized with human gut microbiota from healthy and IBS patients

Project description:Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a disorder of the gut-brain axis, characterized by altered gut function and frequent psychiatric co-morbidity. Although altered intestinal microbiome profiles have been documented, their relevance to the clinical expression of IBS is unknown. To evaluate a functional role of the microbiota, we colonized germ-free mice with fecal microbiota from healthy controls or IBS patients with accompanying anxiety, and monitored gut function and behavior. Mouse microbiota profiles clustered according to their human donors. Despite having taxonomically similar composition as controls, mice with IBS microbiota had distinct serum metabolomic profiles related to neuro- and immunomodulation. Mice with IBS, but not control microbiota, exhibited faster gastrointestinal transit, intestinal barrier dysfunction, innate immune activation and anxiety-like behavior. These results support the notion that the microbiota contributes to both intestinal and behavioral manifestations of IBS and rationalize the use of microbiota-directed therapies in ameliorating IBS.

A selective gut bacterial bile salt hydrolase alters host metabolism

Project description:The human gut microbiota impacts host metabolism and has been implicated in the pathophysiology of obesity and metabolic syndromes. However, defining the roles of specific microbial activities and metabolites on host phenotypes has proven challenging due to the complexity of the microbiome-host ecosystem. Here, we identify strains from the abundant gut bacterial phylum Bacteroidetes that display selective bile salt hydrolase (BSH) activity. Using isogenic strains of wild-type and BSH-deleted Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, we selectively modulated the levels of the bile acid tauro-b-muricholic acid in monocolonized gnotobiotic mice. B. thetaiotaomicron BSH mutant-colonized mice displayed altered metabolism, including reduced weight gain and respiratory exchange ratios, as well as transcriptional changes in metabolic, circadian rhythm, and immune pathways in the gut and liver. Our results demonstrate that metabolites generated by a single microbial gene and enzymatic activity can profoundly alter host metabolism and gene expression at local and organism-level scales.

Activity-Based Metaproteomics Driven Discovery and Enzymological Characterization of Novel α-Galactosidases in the Gut Microbiome

Project description:enzymes. However, many genes in the microbiome remain uncharacterized due to the challenge in culturing intestinal strains in vitro, which limits the identification of target enzymes. To address this issue, we developed an effective Activity-Based MetaProteomics (ABMP) strategy using a specific activity-based probe (ABP) to screen the entire gut microbiome for target enzymes, without the need to isolate and culture bacterial strains individually. α-Galactosidases (AGALs) are widely distributed in gut microbiota, plant, and animal kingdoms of life and have multiple applications in industries such as food, animal feed, and biomedical sectors. Despite the rich source of AGALs in the gut microbiome, many AGAL genes lack functional annotations. Using an activity-based cyclophellitol aziridine probe specific to AGAL, we successfully identified and characterized several new enzymes possessing AGAL activities from the gut microbiome.

Integrated microbiome and host profiling in a mouse model of colitis suggests host immune activity drives changes in the gut micro-environment that influence both microbial community structure and gene expression

Project description:The gut microbiome is significantly altered in inflammatory bowel diseases, but the basis of these changes is not well understood. We have combined metagenomic and metatranscriptomic profiling of the gut microbiome to assess changes to both bacterial community structure and transcriptional activity in a mouse model of colitis. Gene families involved in microbial resistance to oxidative stress, including Dps/ferritin, Fe-dependent peroxidase and glutathione S-transferase, were transcriptionally up-regulated in colitis, implicating a role for increased oxygen tension in gut microbiota modulation. Transcriptional profiling of the host gut tissue and host RNA in the gut lumen revealed a marked increase in the transcription of genes with an activated macrophage and granulocyte signature, suggesting the involvement of these cell types in influencing microbial gene expression. Down-regulation of host glycosylation genes further supports a role for inflammation-driven changes to the gut niche that may impact the microbiome. We propose that members of the bacterial community react to inflammation-associated increased oxygen tension by inducing genes involved in oxidative stress resistance. Furthermore, correlated transcriptional responses between host glycosylation and bacterial glycan utilisation support a role for altered usage of host-derived carbohydrates in colitis. Complementary RNA-seq and DNA-seq data sets of the microbiome from this study have also been deposited at ArrayExpress under accession number E-MTAB-3562 ( http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-MTAB-3562/ ).

Contributions of microbiome and mechanical deformation to intestinal bacterial overgrowth and inflammation in a human gut-on-a-chip.

Project description:A human gut-on-a-chip microdevice was used to coculture multiple commensal microbes in contact with living human intestinal epithelial cells for more than a week in vitro and to analyze how gut microbiome, inflammatory cells, and peristalsis-associated mechanical deformations independently contribute to intestinal bacterial overgrowth and inflammation. This in vitro model replicated results from past animal and human studies, including demonstration that probiotic and antibiotic therapies can suppress villus injury induced by pathogenic bacteria. By ceasing peristalsis-like motions while maintaining luminal flow, lack of epithelial deformation was shown to trigger bacterial overgrowth similar to that observed in patients with ileus and inflammatory bowel disease. Analysis of intestinal inflammation on-chip revealed that immune cells and lipopolysaccharide endotoxin together stimulate epithelial cells to produce four proinflammatory cytokines (IL-8, IL-6, IL-1Î², and TNF-Î±) that are necessary and sufficient to induce villus injury and compromise intestinal barrier function. Thus, this human gut-on-a-chip can be used to analyze contributions of microbiome to intestinal pathophysiology and dissect disease mechanisms in a controlled manner that is not possible using existing in vitro systems or animal models. 6 samples, 2 biological replicates for each 3 conditions.
