Project description:Here we exploited a Han Chinese population-based cohort with extensive host metadata established in the Pinggu (PG) district of Beijing, and investigated gut microbiota from 2,338 adults (26-76 years) by metagenomic sequencing, revealing associations of the gut microbiota with sex, sex hormones, age, and a number of clinical and metabolic parameters.

Project description:The gut microbiota plays an important role in host health. Microbiota dysbiosis has been implicated in the global epidemic of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and could impair host metabolism by noxious metabolites. It has been well established that the gut microbiota is shaped by host immune factors. However, the effect of T cells on the gut microbiota is yet unknown. Here, we performed a metagenomic whole-genome shotgun sequencing (mWGS) study of the microbiota of TCRb-/- mice, which lack alpha/beta T cells.

Project description:Gut microbiota and the circadian clock both regulate metabolism. The circadian clock and associated feeding rhythms were shown to impact on the microbial community. However, to what extent gut microbiota reciprocally affect daily rhythms of gene expression and physiology in the host remains elusive. Here, we analyzed the transcriptomes of male and female germ-free mice. While this revealed subtle changes in circadian clock gene expression in liver, intestine, and white adipose tissue, germ-free mice showed considerably altered expression of genes associated to rhythmic physiology. Strikingly, absence of microbiome severely compromised liver sex-dimorphism at the transcriptome and metabolome level. Their sex-specific rhythmicity was strongly attenuated. The resulting feminization of male and masculinization of female hepatic gene expression in germ-free animals is likely caused by altered sex-dimorphism in sex and growth hormone secretion, linked to differential activation of xenobiotic receptors. This defines a novel mechanism by which the gut microbiome regulates host metabolism.

Project description:Insect gut microbiota plays important roles in acquiring nutrition, preventing pathogens infection, immune responses, and communicating with the environment. Gut microbiota can be affected by some external factors such as foods, temperature, and antibiotics. Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is an important destructive pest of grain crops all over the world. The function of gut microbiota in S. frugiperda remains to be investigated. In this study, we fed the S. frugiperda with the antibiotic mixture (penicillin, gentamicin, rifampicin, and streptomycin) to perturb the gut microbiota, and further examined the effect of dysbiosis in gut microbiota on the gene expression of S. frugiperda by RNA sequencing. We found the composition and diversity of the gut bacterial community were changed in S. frugiperda after antibiotics treatmen, and the expression of genes related to energy and metabolic process were affected after antibiotics exposure in S. frugiperda. Our work will help understand the role of gut microbiota in insects.

Project description:Circulating sex steroids are critical for the development of neuroplasticity in the respiratory motor system. A primary locus of inducible respiratory neuroplasticity is the phrenic motor nucleus, a column of motor neurons in the ventral cervical spinal cord (C3-C5). In specific, exposure to acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) induces strengthened synaptic connections to phrenic motor neurons and increased motor output; a form of neuroplasticity called phrenic long-term facilitation (pLTF). Gonadectomy (surgical removal of the testes in males and ovaries in females) reduces circulating sex steroids and eliminates AIH-induced phrenic pLTF in both females and males, implicating sex steroids as critical mediators for the development of neuroplasticity. To begin interrogating mechanisms of sex steroid influence on phrenic motor neurons and to determine the effect of gonadectomy on local gene expression, we performed RNA sequencing on ventral cervical spinal cord samples containing the phrenic motor nucleus. Our findings identified sex-specific gene expression in gonadally-intact rats and suggested that gonadectomy caused greater changes to the transcriptomes of male rats compared to females.

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:Gut microbiota and the circadian clock are both key regulators of the metabolic processes. Although recent evidence points to the impact of the circadian clock on microbiota, gut microbiota effect on diurnal host gene expression remains elusive. A transcriptome analysis of germ-free mice reveals subtle changes in circadian clock gene expression. However, a lack of microbiome leads to liver feminization and alters the expression of male-specific genes involved in lipid metabolism and xenobiotic detoxification associated with sustained activation of the Growth Hormone pathway. These results emphasize the mutual interaction of gut microbiota and its host even on unexpected functions.
