Project description:Gut microbiome research is rapidly moving towards the functional characterization of the microbiota by means of shotgun meta-omics. Here, we selected a cohort of healthy subjects from an indigenous and monitored Sardinian population to analyze their gut microbiota using both shotgun metagenomics and shotgun metaproteomics. We found a considerable divergence between genetic potential and functional activity of the human healthy gut microbiota, in spite of a quite comparable taxonomic structure revealed by the two approaches. Investigation of inter-individual variability of taxonomic features revealed Bacteroides and Akkermansia as remarkably conserved and variable in abundance within the population, respectively. Firmicutes-driven butyrogenesis (mainly due to Faecalibacterium spp.) was shown to be the functional activity with the higher expression rate and the lower inter-individual variability in the study cohort, highlighting the key importance of the biosynthesis of this microbial by-product for the gut homeostasis. The taxon-specific contribution to functional activities and metabolic tasks was also examined, giving insights into the peculiar role of several gut microbiota members in carbohydrate metabolism (including polysaccharide degradation, glycan transport, glycolysis and short-chain fatty acid production). In conclusion, our results provide useful indications regarding the main functions actively exerted by the gut microbiota members of a healthy human cohort, and support metaproteomics as a valuable approach to investigate the functional role of the gut microbiota in health and disease.

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:Current immunosuppressants effectively suppress adaptive and innate immune responses, but their broad, antigen-non-specific effects often result in significant complications. Here we investigated understudied immunosuppressant effects of four major immunosuppressant classes including tacrolimus, prednisone, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), and Fingolimod (FTY), on the gut microbiome, metabolic pathways, lymphoid architecture and lymphocyte trafficking. Despite their distinct mechanisms of action, all drugs induced progressive alterations from moderate early changes to substantial alterations in the gut microbiome composition and metabolic pathways with prolonged treatment, converging to a shared dysbiotic state. This was accompanied by significant metabolic alterations and distinct phases of intestinal transcriptional responses. Time-dependent changes in lymph node (LN) reorganization and cellular composition were also observed, showing compartmentalized immune regulation in mesenteric and peripheral lymphoid tissues. Together, these findings highlight the underappreciated complexity and temporal dynamics of immunosuppressant effect, linking drug-induced changes in gut microbiome and compartmentalized immune regulation in lymphoid tissues. Notably, MMF and FTY demonstrated most robust immunomodulatory properties, and were able to suppress alloantigen-induced inflammation through mediating regulatory T cells and LN remodeling. Understanding these relationships provides new opportunities for refining immunosuppressive strategies to mitigate treatment-related complications in transplant patients, ultimately improving long-term organ transplant outcomes.

Project description:Significant gut microbiota heterogeneity exists amongst UC patients though the clinical implications of this variance are unknown. European and South Asian UC patients exhibit distinct disease risk alleles, many of which regulate immune function and relate to variation in gut microbiota β-diversity. We hypothesized ethnically distinct UC patients exhibit discrete gut microbiotas with unique luminal metabolic programming that influence adaptive immune responses and relate to clinical status. Using parallel bacterial 16S rRNA and fungal ITS2 sequencing of fecal samples (UC n=30; healthy n=13), we corroborated previous observations of UC-associated depletion of bacterial diversity and demonstrated significant gastrointestinal expansion of Saccharomycetales as a novel UC characteristic. We identified four distinct microbial community states (MCS 1-4), confirmed their existence using microbiota data from an independent UC cohort, and show they co-associate with patient ethnicity and degree of disease severity. Each MCS was predicted to be uniquely enriched for specific amino acid, carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism pathways and exhibited significant luminal enrichment of metabolic products from these pathways. Using a novel in vitro human DC/T-cell assay we show that DC exposure to patient fecal water led to MCS -specific changes in T-cell populations, particularly the Th1:Th2 ratio, and that patients with the most severe disease exhibited the greatest Th2 skewing. Thus, based on ethnicity, microbiome composition, and associated metabolic dysfunction, UC patients may be stratified in a clinically and immunologically meaningful manner, providing a platform for the development of FMC-focused therapy. Fecal microbiome was assessed with Affymetrix PhyloChip arrays from patients with ulcerative colitis and healthy controls.

Project description:This study explores the role of the gut microbiome in modulating host metabolism among Colombian athletes, comparing elite weightlifters (n = 16) and cyclists (n = 13) through integrative omics analysis. Fecal and plasma samples collected one month before an international event underwent metagenomic, metabolomic, and lipidomic profiling. Metagenomic analysis using bioBakery tools identified significant microbial pathways, including L-arginine biosynthesis III and fatty acid biosynthesis initiation (Figure 1). Key metabolic pathways were enriched in both athlete groups, such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis, arginine biosynthesis, and folate biosynthesis. Plasma metabolomics and lipidomics revealed distinct metabolic profiles and a separation between athlete types through multivariate models, with lipid-related pathways such as lipid droplet formation and glycolipid synthesis driving the differences. Notably, elevated carnitine, amino acid, and glycerolipid levels in weightlifters suggest energy system-specific metabolic adaptations. These findings underscore the complex relationship between gut microbiota composition and metabolic responses tailored to athletic demands, laying groundwork for personalized strategies to optimize performance. This research highlights the potential for targeted modulation of gut microbiota as a basis for tailored interventions to support specific energy demands in athletic disciplines.

Project description:Germinal centers (GCs), specialized microanatomical structures that emerged in endothermic vertebrates, serve as critical hubs for immune surveillance and lymphocyte activation. The constant exposure to foodborne pathogens drives the evolutionary selection for potent gut mucosal immune defenses in vertebrate species. Despite retaining ancestral ectothermic traits including underdeveloped lymph nodes, teleost fish have evolved specialized gut-associated lymphoid tissue capable of generating robust antigen-specific immune responses. How and where ectothermic vertebrates initiate adaptive immunity in the gut remains enigmatic. Through single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), we comprehensively mapped the dynamic immune landscape of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in the gut and head kidney (HK) following Spring Viremia of Carp Virus (SVCV) challenge. Strikingly, lymphocytes within gut exhibited pronounced upregulation of memory-related genes upon secondary viral exposure, oncomitant with robust expression of canonical GC markers in B cells. Furthermore, using FISH, we observed SVCV co-localization with CXCR5⁺ B cells within the lamina propria basement of the gut and perivascular niches of the HK, encircled by a peripheral ring of AICDA⁺/MKI67⁺/CXCR4⁺ B cells. Notably, within these same microanatomical niches, we detected distinct aggregates composed of highly proliferative IgM⁺ B cells undergoing significant apoptosis and antigen (Ag)-specific B cells. Collectively, our findings reveal that teleosts have evolved GC-like structures in the gut, offering novel insights into the evolutionary origins of GCs.

Project description:Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) colonize the guts of ~50% of humans. We used genome-wide transposon mutagenesis and insertion-site sequencing (INSeq), RNA-Seq, plus mass spectrometry to characterize genetic and environmental factors that impact the niche of Desulfovibrio piger, the most common SRB in a surveyed cohort of healthy USA adults. Gnotobiotic mice were colonized with an assemblage of sequenced human gut bacterial species with or without D. piger and fed diets with different levels and types of carbohydrates and sulfur sources. Diet was a major determinant of functions expressed by this artificial 9-member community and of the genes that impact D. piger fitness; the latter includes high- and low-affinity systems for utilizing ammonia, a limiting resource for D. piger in mice consuming a polysaccharide-rich diet. While genes involved in hydrogen consumption and sulfate reduction are necessary for its colonization, varying dietary free sulfate levels did not significantly alter levels of D. piger, which can obtain sulfate from the host in part via cross-feeding mediated by Bacteroides-encoded sulfatases. Chondroitin sulfate, a common dietary supplement, increased D. piger and H2S levels without compromising gut barrier integrity. A chondroitin sulfate-supplemented diet together with D. piger impacted the assemblage’s substrate utilization preferences, allowing consumption of more reduced carbon sources, and increasing the abundance of the H2-producing Actinobacterium, Collinsella aerofaciens. Our findings provide genetic and metabolic details of how this H2-consuming SRB shapes the responses of a microbiota to diet ingredients, and a framework for examining how individuals lacking D. piger differ from those that harbor it. 8 samples total, 2 gropus of 4 mice: Proximal colon gene expression profiles of gnotobiotic mice colonized with an artificial gut community composed of 8 human gut species (group 1: NoDp) and from mice colonized with the same community plus D. piger (Dp). Mice were fed a HF/HS diet supplemented with 3% chondroitin sulfate. Animals were sacrificed 2 weeks after colonization
