Project description:Age-dependent changes of the gut-associated microbiome have been linked to increased frailty and systemic inflammation. This study found that age-associated changes of the gut microbiome of BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice could be reverted by co-housing of aged (22 months old) and adult (3 months old) mice for 30-40 days or faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from adult into aged mice. This was demonstrated using high-throughput sequencing of the V3-V4 hypervariable region of bacterial 16S rRNA gene isolated from faecal pellets collected from 3-4 months old adult and 22-23 months old aged mice before and after co-housing or FMT.

Project description:It is well-established that women are disproportionately affected by Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The mechanisms underlying this sex-specific disparity are not fully understood, but several factors that are often associated-including interactions of sex hormones, genetic factors, and the gut microbiome-likely contribute to the disease's etiology. Here, we have examined the role of sex hormones and the gut microbiome in mediating A amyloidosis and neuroinflammation in APPPS1-21 mice. We report that postnatal gut microbiome perturbation in female APPPS1-21 mice leads to an elevation in levels of circulating estradiol. Early stage ovariectomy (OVX) leads to a reduction of plasma estradiol that is correlated with a significant alteration of gut microbiome composition and reduction in A pathology. On the other hand, supplementation of OVX-treated animals with estradiol restores A burden and influences gut microbiome composition. The reduction of A pathology with OVX is paralleled by diminished levels of plaque-associated MGnD-type microglia while estradiol supplementation of OVX-treated animals leads to a restoration of activated microglia around plaques. In summary, our investigation elucidates the complex interplay between sex-specific hormonal modulations, gut microbiome dynamics, metabolic perturbations, and microglial functionality in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

Project description:The gut microbiome is a malleable microbial community that can remodel in response to various factors, including diet, and contribute to the development of several chronic diseases, including atherosclerosis. We devised an in vitro screening protocol of the mouse gut microbiome to discover molecules that can selectively modify bacterial growth. This approach was used to identify cyclic D,L-α-peptides that remodeled the Western diet (WD) gut microbiome toward the low-fat-diet microbiome state. Daily oral administration of the peptides in WD-fed LDLr-/- mice reduced plasma total cholesterol levels and atherosclerotic plaques. Depletion of the microbiome with antibiotics abrogated these effects. Peptide treatment reprogrammed the microbiome transcriptome, suppressed the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (including interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-1β), rebalanced levels of short-chain fatty acids and bile acids, improved gut barrier integrity and increased intestinal T regulatory cells. Directed chemical manipulation provides an additional tool for deciphering the chemical biology of the gut microbiome and might advance microbiome-targeted therapeutics.

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.

Project description:Opioid analgesics are frequently prescribed in the United States and worldwide. However, serious side effects such as addiction, immunosuppression and gastrointestinal symptoms limit long term use. In the current study using a chronic morphine-murine model a longitudinal approach was undertaken to investigate the role of morphine modulation of gut microbiome as a mechanism contributing to the negative consequences associated with opioids use. The results revealed a significant shift in the gut microbiome and metabolome within 24 hours following morphine treatment when compared to placebo. Morphine induced gut microbial dysbiosis exhibited distinct characteristic signatures profiles including significant increase in communities associated with pathogenic function, decrease in communities associated with stress tolerance. Collectively, these results reveal opioids-induced distinct alteration of gut microbiome, may contribute to opioids-induced pathogenesis. Therapeutics directed at these targets may prolong the efficacy long term opioid use with fewer side effects.

Project description:Cognitive impairment (CI) is a prevalent neurological condition characterized deficient attention, causal reasoning, learning and/or memory. Many genetic and environmental factors increase risk for CI, and the gut microbiome is increasingly implicated. However, the identity of gut microbes associated with CI risk, their effects on CI, and their mechanisms of action remain unclear. Here we examine the gut microbiome in response to restricted diet and intermittent hypoxia, known environmental risk factors for CI. Modeling the environmental factors together in mice potentiates CI and alters the gut microbiota. Depleting the microbiome by antibiotic treatment or germ-free rearing prevents the adverse effects of environmental risk on CI, whereas transplantation of the risk-associated microbiome into naïve mice confers CI. Parallel sequencing and gnotobiotic approaches identify the pathobiont Bilophila wadsworthia as enriched by the environmental risk factors for CI and as sufficient to induce CI. Consistent with CI-related behavioral abnormalities, B. wadsworthia and the risk-associated microbiome disrupt hippocampal activity, neurogenesis and gene expression. The CI induced by B. wadsworthia and by environmental risk factors is associated with microbiome-dependent increases in intestinal IFNy-producing Th1 cells. Inhibiting Th1 cells abrogates the adverse effects of both B. wadsworthia and environmental risk factors on CI. Together, these findings identify select gut bacteria that contribute to environmental risk for CI in mice by promoting inflammation and hippocampal dysfunction.

Project description:The gut microbiome is an emerging factor in the neurobiology of disease. Blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity is essential for proper brain function. However, the role the initial microbiome plays in BBB and brain development is unclear. In this study, we colonized germ-free pregnant mice with human full-term- or preterm-infant-derived gut microbiota, thereby establishing these communities in the resulting offspring. We discovered that mice harboring a full-term-associated microbiome exhibited stronger memory and learning capabilities and dramatically decreased early-life BBB permeability when compared to those with a prematurity-associated microbiome. Whole-brain single-cell RNA sequencing revealed downregulation of synaptic signaling genes in BBB cell types of mice with the prematurity-associated microbiome, indicating that microbiome maturity influences BBB transcriptional programs that support cognitive development. Comprehensive metagenomics and metabolomics uncovered bacterial populations and genomic pathways corresponding with decreased levels of circulating long-chain acylcarnitines and lysophosphatidylcholines in mice with the full-term-associated microbiome. Our findings highlight the microbiome as a therapeutic target for improving long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes due to its effect on the early-life BBB.

Project description:Bazedoxifene and conjugated estrogens (CE+BZA) combination has been shown to prevent visceral adiposity and weight gain after menopause. However, its interaction with the microbiota has yet to be examined. In the present study, we use several –omics technologies to characterize the effects of various estrogens on the health of gut-liver axis. As reported in previous studies, CE+BZA combination is very effective at preventing ovariectomy-induced weight gain in mice fed a high-fat diet. Additionally, CE+BZA induces unique liver transcriptomic and blood metabolite profiles compared to estradiol, conjugated estrogens alone, and bazedoxifene alone. Several pathways and metabolites influenced are associated with lower rates of inflammation and overall benefits to gut and liver health. Finally, microbiome analysis shows that several bacterial species that potentially metabolize estrogens and affect their half-life in the body were significantly changed in CE+BZA treated mice. Our findings indicate a possible link between certain estrogens and gut microbiome and suggest a metabolic benefit of estrogens through manipulation of the gut-liver axis.

Project description:Background and Aims Interoceptive impacts on the brain triggered by changes in the intestinal microbial ecosystem influence mood-related behaviors such as anxiety and depression. Although changes in the gut microbiome can be driven by genetic mutations in the host, how alterations in the gut microbiome caused by host genetic variations affect behavioral outcomes is not fully understood. To investigate how host genetic variation affects interoceptive responses, we analyzed the gut microbiota and investigated gut–brain interactions in sirtuin 3 (Sirt3)-knockout (KO) mice. Methods We evaluated the composition of the gut microbiome and behavior in Sirt3-KO and wild-type (WT) mice. To distinguish microbiome-driven effects from genetic influences, we conducted cohousing experiments and compared results with heterozygous littermates. Region-specific changes in gene expression in the brain were identified by transcriptomic profiling of the limbic system. We also analyzed metabolites in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS) generated by gut microbiome–vagal signaling. The role of the vagus nerve in the gut-brain axis was further examined through vagotomy, alongside comparative choline analysis in both mood disorder patients and mice. Results Mood-related neurobehavioral changes and alterations in synaptic plasticity-related genes in the amygdala and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST) of Sirt3-KO mice appeared to be dependent on gut microbiome composition. Elevated plasma choline levels in both mood disorder patients and Sirt3-KO mice, together with reduced neurotransmitter-related metabolites (e.g., -aminobutyric acid [GABA] in the NTS), suggested that externalizing behaviors in Sirt3-KO mice are mediated by vagus nerve-dependent gut–brain axis signaling. Consistent with this, vagotomy abolished these changes, including GABA in the NTS, as well as alterations in synaptic plasticity in the amygdala and BNST. Conclusions Our findings suggest the novel finding that an altered gut microbiome caused by a host genetic change, namely a Sirt3 deficiency, is sensed in the NTS of the brain via the vagus nerve, leading to externalizing behaviors.
