Project description:The gut microbiota, immune system, and enteric nervous system interact to regulate adult gut physiology. Yet the mechanisms establishing gut physiology during development remain unknown. We report that in developing zebrafish, enteroendocrine cells produced IL-22 in response to microbial signals before lymphocytes populate the gut. In larvae, IL-22 shaped the gut microbiota, increased Lactobacillaceae abundance and ghrelin expression to promote gut motility. Impaired motility and ghrelin expression were restored in il22-/- zebrafish by transfer of microbiota from wild-type zebrafish or by monoassociation with Lactobacillus plantarum. IL-22-deficient mice had impaired gut motility and reduced ghrelin expression in early life too, indicating a conserved function. Thus, before immune system maturation, enteroendocrine cells regulate early-life gut function by controlling the microbiota via IL-22.

Project description:Weaning diet switch brings gut microbiome maturation along with postnatal formation of sufficient matured β-cell mass. The matured gut microbiota elevated agonistic components of bile acid (BA) pool towards farnesoid X receptor (FXR) that was paralleling with the declined β-cell FXR expression. To investigate whether BA/FXR could link postnatal β-cell development and gut microbiota maturation, we forced persistent FXR expression in β cells (βFxrKI) and found decreased neonatal β-cell mass growth and increased glycemia in weaned βFxrKI mice, which could be partially recovered by ablating gut microbiota before weaning. scRNA and scATAC seq analysis showed different β cell growth trajectories with suppressed intrinsic cell proliferation and elevated cell apoptosis in βFxrKI. Caspase-6 was then identified as a dominant β-cell FXR downstream effector to mediate its regulation. The negative regulation of the FXR-Casp6 axis on postnatal β-cell mass expansion reflected a programmed cellular response to gut microbiota maturation in neonatal mice.

Project description:Maturation of the gut microbiota coincides with neurodevelopmental processes such as myelination, essential for efficient neural signal transmission. While its role in adult prefrontal cortex (PFC) myelination is known, effects on early-life myelin formation, growth, and integrity remain unclear. Here, we track gene expression in the PFC of germ-free (GF) and non-germ-free (conventional) mice. Alongside metabolomics (HP/LC) from the same region across early life development, in males and females. Metabolomics data available here <URL PLACEHOLDER> In GF mice, we observed sex- and age-dependent alterations in pathways linked to neuronal activity and myelination, with myelin-related transcriptomic changes correlating with functional shifts in neurotransmission- and metabolism-related metabolites over time. Myelin growth and integrity were also affected in a sex- and time-dependent manner. As microglia regulate neuronal activity and engulf myelin, we examined microbiota-microglia interactions and found altered expression of genes involved in microglia maturation and synaptic pruning in both species. In zebrafish larvae, the microbiota influenced the spatial distribution of microglia and oligodendrocytes within the brain and spinal cord. These findings reveal conserved microbiota-mediated modulation of neuronal activity, myelination, and glial maturation in early life, providing a foundation for future studies into these mechanisms. These files contain the RNAseq data underlying this study.

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:Background: Alcohol consumption during pregnancy may cause a complex syndrome known as Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), characterized by lasting physical, cognitive, and behavioral impairments. While several mechanisms and potential treatments have been identified, no cure exists for FASD. Recent studies indicated that gut microbiome (GM) research could lead to promising diagnostic or therapeutic option. However, the GM’s role in FASD is still poor explored. This study aimed to examine how early PAE affects the GM of adolescent offspring to identify potential targets for early diagnosis or treatment. Methods: Female C57Bl/6 mice were exposed to 10% ethanol solution during the first 10 days of pregnancy, and then to water for the rest of gestation (PAE group). Control mice received only water throughout their entire pregnancy (Control group). Fecal and blood samples were collected to analyze GM composition and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Results: PAE mice showed a significant reduction in alpha diversity and notable changes in beta diversity of their GM compared to controls. Gender analysis revealed that PAE males had distinct microbial genera compared to controls, with significant increases in Bacteroides, Bilophila and Clostridioides. Moreover, fecal analysis in males revealed higher levels of isobutyric, isovaleric, and 2-methylbutyric acids—metabolites known for their anti-inflammatory properties. Conclusions: These results suggest that PAE causes sex-specific alterations in the microbiota-gut- brain axis, highlighting the gut microbiota as a promising target for preventive or supportive therapies aimed at reducing the cognitive and behavioral impairments linked to FASD.

Project description:Sleep supports lifelong brain health and cognition. Sleep loss in early life can drive lasting changes in adult behavior, indicating sleep plays a distinct but poorly understood role supporting brain development. We systematically examined the molecular and behavioral adaptations and synaptic consequences of acute sleep deprivation (SD) in developing and adult mice. Developing mice lack robust adaptations to SD, exacerbating cognitive deficits. Synapse proteome and phosphoproteome analysis revealed profound vulnerability to SD in developing mice, including immediate impacts on synaptogenesis and key aspects of brain development. With maturation, a unified biochemical effect of sleep on synapses emerges, together with robust adaptations and resilience to SD. Our findings show sleep plays a distinct role in early life supporting synapse development, transitioning to homeostatic functions with maturation.
