Project description:Development of the human gut microbiota commences at birth, with bifidobacteria being among the first colonizers of the newborn gastrointestinal tract. To date, the genetic basis of Bifidobacterium colonization, persistence and dialogue with the host remains poorly understood. We previously identified tight adherence (Tad) pili from Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003 as an essential colonisation factor using murine models.We have identified the protein that mediates the proliferation response, and demonstrate that bifidobacteria contribute to the maturation of the naïve gut in early life through the production of specific extracellular protein structures under in vivo conditions. This bifidobacteria-derived signalling protein may represent one of the mechanisms by which members of the early colonising microbiota stimulate growth of the neonatal mucosa

Project description:We report that cellular ROS enzymatically generated in response to contact with lactobacilli in both mice and Drosophila has salutary effects against exogenous insults to the intestinal epithelium via the activation of Nrf2 responsive cytoprotective genes. RNA was isolated from the colons of untreated, PBS, E. coli, and LGG innoculated germ free mice and RNA-seq performed to identify the gene expression in response to each condition

Project description:The intestinal ecosystem is balanced by dynamic interactions between resident and incoming microbes, the gastrointestinal barrier, and the mucosal immune system. However, in the context of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) where the integrity of the gastrointestinal barrier is compromised, resident microbes contribute to the development and perpetuation of inflammation and disease. In this context, probiotic bacteria exert beneficial effects enhancing epithelial barrier integrity. However, the mechanisms underlying these beneficial effects are only poorly understood. Here, we comparatively investigated the effects of four probiotic lactobacilli, namely L. acidophilus, L. fermentum, L. gasseri, and L. rhamnosus in a T84 cell epithelial barrier model. Results of DNA-microarray experiments indicating that lactobacilli modulate the regulation of genes encoding in particular adherence junction proteins such as E-cadherin and b-catenin were confirmed by qRT-PCR. Furthermore, we show that epithelial barrier function is modulated by Gram-positive probiotic lactobacilli via their effect on adherence junction protein expression and complex formation. In addition, incubation with lactobacilli differentially influences the phosphorylation of adherence junction proteins and of PKC isoforms such as PKCd which thereby positively modulates epithelial barrier function. Further insight into the underlying molecular mechanisms triggered by these probiotics might also foster the development of novel strategies for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases (e.g. IBD).

Project description:Background: Breastfed human infants are predominantly colonized by bifidobacteria that thrive on human milk oligosaccharides (HMO). The two most predominant species of bifidobacteria in infant feces are Bifidobacterium breve (B. breve) and Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis (B. infantis), both avid HMO-consumer strains. Our laboratory has previously shown that B. infantis, when grown on HMO, increase adhesion to intestinal cells and increase the expression of the anti-inflammatory cytokine interleukin-10. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the effects of carbon source—glucose, lactose, or HMO—on the ability of B. breve and B. infantis to adhere to and affect the transcription of intestinal epithelial cells on a genome-wide basis. Results: HMO-grown B. infantis had higher percent binding to Caco-2 cell monolayers compared to B. infantis grown on glucose or lactose. B. breve had low adhesive ability regardless of carbon source. Despite differential binding ability, both HMO-grown strains significantly differentially affected the Caco-2 transcriptome compared to their glucose or lactose grown controls. HMO-grown B. breve and B. infantis both down-regulated genes in Caco-2 cells associated with chemokine activity. Conclusion: The choice of carbon source affects the interaction of bifidobacteria with intestinal epithelial cells. HMO-grown bifidobacteria reduce markers of inflammation, compared to glucose or lactose-grown bifidobacteria. In the future, the design of preventative or therapeutic probiotic supplements may need to include appropriately chosen prebiotics.

Project description:We investigated the capabilities of bifidobacteria to reduce the cholesterol level in the media, which clearly evidenced a high ratio of assimilation of this molecule by specific bifidobacterial strains including Bifidobacterium bifidum PRL2010. The transcriptomics of PRL2010 cells cultivated in the presence of cholesterol evidenced a significant higher expression of carriers as well as reductase encoding genes
