Deciphering Differential Gut Bacterial Drug Metabolism with Activity-Based Protein Profiling

ABSTRACT: Gut bacterial β-glucuronidases (GUS) promote the toxic side effects of therapeutics by reactivating drugs from their inactive glucuronide conjugates. It is increasingly clear that the interindividual variability of bacterial GUS-producing species in the gut microbiota contributes to differential drug responses. Indeed, the anticancer drug irinotecan exhibits variable clinical toxicity outcomes that have been linked to interindividual differences in the composition of the gut microbiota. However, identification of the specific GUS enzymes responsible for drug metabolism in the context of the complexity of the human fecal microbiota has not been achieved. Here we pinpoint the specific bacterial GUS enzymes that reactivate SN-38, the active metabolite of irinotecan, from complex human fecal microbiota samples with activity-based protein profiling (ABPP). We identify and quantify gut bacterial GUS enzymes from human feces with ABPP-enabled proteomics and then integrate this information with ex vivo kinetics to reveal the specific GUS enzymes responsible for the reactivation of SN-38. The same ABPP approach also reveals the molecular basis for differential gut bacterial GUS inhibition between human fecal samples. Taken together, this work provides an unprecedented pipeline to identify the specific bacterial GUS enzymes responsible for drug-induced GI toxicity from the complexity of human feces, which may serve as highly precise biomarkers of clinical outcomes for irinotecan and other therapeutics.

It is increasingly clear that interindividual variability in human gut microbial composition contributes to differential drug responses. For example, gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity is not observed in all patients treated with the anticancer drug irinotecan, and it has been suggested that this variability is a result of differences in the types and levels of gut bacterial β-glucuronidases (GUSs). GUS enzymes promote drug toxicity by hydrolyzing the inactive drug-glucuronide conjugate back to the ...[more]

Project description:Pancreatic cancer is the 3rd most prevalent cause of cancer related deaths in United states alone, with over 55000 patients being diagnosed in 2019 alone and nearly as many succumbing to it. Late detection, lack of effective therapy and poor understanding of pancreatic cancer systemically contributes to its poor survival statistics. Obesity and high caloric intake linked co-morbidities like type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been attributed as being risk factors for a number of cancers including pancreatic cancer. Studies on gut microbiome has shown that lifestyle factors as well as diet has a huge effect on the microbial flora of the gut. Further, modulation of gut microbiome has been seen to contribute to effects of intensive insulin therapy in mice on high fat diet. In another study, abnormal gut microbiota was reported to contribute to development of diabetes in Db/Db mice. Recent studies indicate that microbiome and microbial dysbiosis plays a role in not only the onset of disease but also in its outcome. In colorectal cancer, Fusobacterium has been reported to promote therapy resistance. Certain intra-tumoral bacteria have also been shown to elicit chemo-resistance by metabolizing anti-cancerous agents. In pancreatic cancer, studies on altered gut microbiome have been relatively recent. Microbial dysbiosis has been observed to be associated with pancreatic tumor progression. Modulation of microbiome has been shown to affect response to anti-PD1 therapy in this disease as well. However, most of the studies in pancreatic cancer and microbiome have remained focused om immune modulation. In the current study, we observed that in a T2D mouse model, the microbiome changed significantly as the hyperglycemia developed in these animals. Our results further showed that, tumors implanted in the T2D mice responded poorly to Gemcitabine/Paclitaxel (Gem/Pac) standard of care compared to those in the control group. A metabolomic reconstruction of the WGS of the gut microbiota further revealed that an enrichment of bacterial population involved in drug metabolism in the T2D group.
