Project description:Dietary phytochemicals are plant-derived bioactive compounds that can influence host physiology and gut microbial communities. However, the structural distinctiveness of phytochemicals and their modulation of host intestinal gene expression in a sex-dependent manner remain poorly understood. In this study, we used Drosophila melanogaster to investigate gut transcriptomic responses to four phytochemical-enriched diets, capsaicin, curcumin, resveratrol, and thymoquinone. Two-day-old mated female and male flies were exposed to control or phytochemical-supplemented diets for 10 days, after which gut tissues were dissected for bulk RNA sequencing. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that biological sex was a major source of variation in the gut, with female and male flies showing distinct expression profiles across dietary treatments. Phytochemical supplementation induced compound and sex-specific transcriptional responses. Curcumin produced the strongest transcriptional response, with females showing reduced expression of genes involved in carbohydrate digestion and trehalose metabolism, whereas males showed enrichment of xenobiotic detoxification pathways dominated by cytochrome P450 genes. Capsaicin also induced sex-dependent responses, including detoxification-associated transcriptional changes in females and increased expression of immune-related genes in males. These results indicate that dietary phytochemicals elicit sex-specific gut transcriptomic responses in Drosophila melanogaster and highlight biological sex as an important variable in studies of diet-host interactions.

Project description:The gut microbiome is associated with diverse diseases, but the universal signature of an (un)healthy microbiome remains elusive and there is a need to understand how genetics, exposome, lifestyle and diet shape the microbiome in health and disease. To fill this gap, we profiled bacterial composition, function, antibiotic resistance and virulence factors in the gut microbiomes of 8,208 Dutch individuals from a three-generational cohort comprising 2,756 families. We then correlated this to 241 host and environmental factors, including physical and mental health, medication use, diet, socioeconomic factors and childhood and current exposome.

Project description:Early life exposure to antibiotics alters the gut microbiome. These alterations lead to changes in metabolic homeostasis and an increase in host adiposity. We used microarrays to identify metabolic genes that may be up- or down-regulated secondary to antibiotic exposure. Low dose antibiotics have been widely used as growth promoters in the agricultural industry since the 1950’s, yet the mechanisms for this effect are unclear. Because antimicrobial agents of different classes and varying activity are effective across several vertebrate species, we hypothesized that such subtherapeutic administration alters the population structure of the gut microbiome as well as its metabolic capabilities. We generated a model of adiposity by giving subtherapeutic antibiotic therapy (STAT) to young mice and evaluated changes in the composition and capabilities of the gut microbiome. STAT administration increased adiposity in young mice and altered hormones related to metabolism. We observed substantial taxonomic changes in the microbiome, changes in copies of key genes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates to short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), increases in colonic SCFA levels, and alterations in the regulation of hepatic metabolism of lipids and cholesterol. In this model, we demonstrate the alteration of early life murine metabolic homeostasis through antibiotic manipulation. C57BL6 mice were divided into low-dose penicillin or control groups. Given antibiotics via drinking water after weaning. Sacrificed and liver sections collected for RNA extraction.

Project description:Changes in microbiome composition have been associated with a wide array of human diseases, turning the human microbiota into an attractive target for therapeutic intervention. Yet clinical translation of these findings requires the establishment of causative connections between specific microbial taxa and their functional impact on host tissues. Here, we infused gut organ cultures with longitudinal microbiota samples collected from therapy-naïve irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) patients under low-FODMAP (fermentable Oligo-, Di-, Mono-saccharides and Polyols) diet. We show that post-diet microbiota regulates intestinal expression of inflammatory and neuro-muscular gene-sets. Specifically, we identify Bifidobacterium adolescentis as a diet-sensitive pathobiont that alters tight junction integrity and disrupts gut barrier functions. Collectively, we present a unique pathway discovery approach for mechanistic dissection and identification of functional diet-host-microbiota modules. Our data support the hypothesis that the gut microbiota mediates the beneficial effects of low-FODMAP diet and reinforce the potential feasibility of microbiome based-therapies in IBS.

Project description:The mammalian gastrointestinal tract contains a diverse ecosystem of microbial species collectively making up the gut microbiome. Emerging evidence highlights a critical relationship between gut microbiota and neurocognitive development. Consumption of unhealthy yet palatable dietary factors associated with obesity and metabolic dysfunction (e.g., saturated fat, added sugar) produces microbiota dysbiosis and negatively impacts neurocognitive function, particularly when consumed during early life developmental periods. Here we explore whether excessive early life consumption of added sugars negatively impacts neurocognitive development via the gut microbiome. Using a rodent model of habitual sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) consumption during the adolescent stage of development, we first show that excessive early life sugar intake impairs hippocampal-dependent memory function when tested during adulthood while preserving other neurocognitive domains. Gut microbiome genomic sequencing analyses reveal that early life SSB consumption alters the abundance of various bacterial populations, including elevations in operational taxonomic units within the genus Parabacteroides (P. distasonis and P. johnsonii) whose abundance negatively correlated with memory task performance. Additional results reveal that in vivo Parabacteroides enrichment of cultured P. distasonis and P. johnsonii bacterial species in adolescent rats severely impairs memory function during adulthood. Hippocampus transcriptome analyses identify gene expression alterations in neurotransmitter synaptic signaling, intracellular kinase signaling, metabolic function, neurodegenerative disease, and dopaminergic synaptic signaling-associated pathways as potential mechanisms linking microbiome outcomes with memory impairment. Collectively these results identify microbiota dysbiosis as a mechanism through which early life unhealthy dietary patterns negatively impact neurocognitive outcomes.

Project description:Background: Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) plays a pivotal role in innate immunity and has recently emerged as a criti-cal regulator of host-microbiome interactions. However, how TLR2 influences host transcriptional responses to colonized microbiome and microbial community dynamics remains largely unclear. Germ free (GF) and conven-tionalized zebrafish (Danio rerio) model provides a valuable system to study microbiome functions. Results: RNAseq analysis revealed that transcriptomic alterations resulted from tlr2 mutation were more extensive in the presence of the microbiome than under the GF condition, indicating that tlr2 mutation has a more pro-nounced impact on host transcriptional responses when microbial signals are present. KEGG enrichment analyses showed an enhanced host response to the energy metabolism in the presence of microbial stimuli resulting from tlr2 deficiency. In addition, microbiome colonization elicited a broader transcriptional response in tlr2 wild-type larvae than in the mutants, highlighting the essential role of tlr2 in regulating host transcriptomic programs in re-sponse to microbial signals. In terms of how tlr2 influences microbial composition, 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that tlr2 mutants exhibited higher microbial diversity during early development, whereas adult microbial diversity was highest in wild-type males, indicating a developmental stage- and sex-specific restructuring of the gut microbiome. For larvae at the genus level, tlr2 mutant larvae showed increased Chryseobacterium and Flecto-bacillus but reduced Gracilibacteria abundance relative to wild-type controls. For adult gut samples, the relative abundance of Cetobacterium was lower, while genera such as Romboutsia, Aeromonas and Pseudarthrobacter were more abundant in tlr2 wild-type male group compared to other groups. Predicted functional analyses revealed that tlr2 deficiency induced complex alterations in microbial metabolic pathways, with distinct pathway enrichments observed between larval and adult stages. Conclusions: TLR2 not only modulates host transcriptional responses to microbial colonization but also shapes gut microbial diversity, composition, and metabolic potential. Our findings highlight the critical role of TLR2 in orchestrating immunometabolic homeostasis and provide new insights into its broader function in maintaining host-microbiota symbiosis across developmental stages.
