Project description:Introduction: Chronic sleep fragmentation (SF) is prevalent in contemporary human society, highlighting detrimental effects on glucose metabolism and adipose tissue morphology, which is closely linked to gut microbiota composition. However, it remains unclear whether sleep recovery (SR) after prolonged SF can ameliorate glucose metabolism, influence the transcriptome of inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT), and whether these effects align with alterations in the gut microbiota. Methods: Mice were subjected to 8 weeks of SF and subsequently allowed 2 weeks of SR. We assessed glucose tolerance through intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests (ipGTT), analyzed gut microbiota via 16s rDNA amplicon sequencing, and examined transcriptomic alterations in iWAT using RNA sequencing. Results: Despite the two-week SR following chronic SF, significant glucose intolerance persisted, accompanied by subtle shifts in the gut microbiota and alterations in gene expression within iWAT. The top hub genes Ncapg, Cenpe, and Tik were identified from the protein-protein interaction network. Conclusion: Even followed by a brief period of SR, prolonged SF still led to ongoing glucose intolerance and alterations in the adipose tissue transcriptome in mice. These changes were intertwined with modifications in the gut microbiome. The shifts in gut microbiota may play a pivotal role in understanding the sustained negative effects of SF.

Project description:Background: Sleep is fundamental to growth, immune function, and overall health. We initiate our study to elucidate the impact of sleep fragmentation (SF) on the cardiac function, gut microbiome diversity, and the transcriptomic profile of inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) in mice, as well as the regulatory role of a high protein diet. Methods: We constructed chronic SF and high protein diet intervention mouse models for this research. Cardiac structure and function were evaluated by echocardiographic analyses. Gut microbiota composition was determined by 16s rDNA amplicon sequencing. Transcriptome alterations of iWAT were assessed by RNA-sequencing. Results: Our result revealed that SF interventions induced inflammatory changes in adipose tissue and perturbed the diversity and composition of the gut microbiota. Concurrently, 6-week SF intervention led to a significant decline in left ventricular systolic function in mice, manifested by a notable decrease in EF and FS. Masson staining revealed distinctions compared to the control group, suggesting an increase in myocardial collagen fiber content following SF intervention. High-protein diet intervention partially mitigated the damage to cardiac structure and function caused by SF. Meanwhile, high-protein diet coupled with improvements in the adipose tissue transcriptome changes induced by SF. Conclusions: In conclusion, chronic SF intervention induced cardiac damage, alters gut microbiota composition and induce adipose tissue inflammation. High-protein diet could partially mitigate the changes above.

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:Besides promoting inflammation by mobilizing lipid mediators, secreted phospholipase A2 group IIA (sPLA2-IIA) prevents bacterial infection by degrading bacterial membranes. Here we show that despite the restricted intestinal expression of sPLA2-IIA in BALB/c mice, its genetic deletion leads to amelioration of cancer and exacerbation of psoriasis in distal skin. Intestinal expression of sPLA2-IIA is reduced after antibiotics treatment or under germ-free conditions, suggesting its upregulation by gut microbiota. Metagenome, transcriptome and metabolome analyses have revealed that sPLA2-IIA deficiency alters the gut microbiota, accompanied by notable changes in the intestinal expression of genes related to immunity and metabolism as well as the levels of various blood metabolites and fecal bacterial lipids, suggesting that sPLA2-IIA contributes to shaping of the gut microbiota. The skin phenotypes in Pla2g2a–/– mice are lost when they are co-housed with littermate wild-type mice, resulting in mixing of the microbiota between the genotypes, or when they are housed in a more stringent pathogen-free facility, where Pla2g2a expression in wild-type mice is low and the gut microbial compositions in both genotypes are nearly identical. Thus, our results highlight a new aspect of sPLA2-IIA as a modulator of gut microbiota, perturbation of which affects distal skin responses.

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:The gut microbiota plays an important role in host health. Microbiota dysbiosis has been implicated in the global epidemic of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and could impair host metabolism by noxious metabolites. It has been well established that the gut microbiota is shaped by host immune factors. However, the effect of T cells on the gut microbiota is yet unknown. Here, we performed a metagenomic whole-genome shotgun sequencing (mWGS) study of the microbiota of TCRb-/- mice, which lack alpha/beta T cells.

Project description:Advanced age is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, which is usually referred to as inflammaging. Elderly are also known to have an altered gut microbiota composition. However, whether inflammaging is a cause or consequence of an altered gut microbiota composition is not clear. In this study gut microbiota from young or old conventional mice was transferred to young germ-free mice. Four weeks after gut microbiota transfer immune cell populations in spleen, Peyer’s patches, and mesenteric lymph nodes from conventionalized germ-free mice were analyzed by flow cytometry. In addition, whole-genome gene expression in the ileum was analyzed by microarray. Gut microbiota composition of donor and recipient mice was analyzed with 16S rDNA sequencing. Here we show by transferring aged microbiota to young germ-free mice that certain bacterial species within the aged microbiota promote inflammaging. This effect was associated with lower levels of Akkermansia and higher levels of TM7 bacteria and Proteobacteria in the aged microbiota after transfer. The aged microbiota promoted inflammation in the small intestine in the germ-free mice and enhanced leakage of inflammatory bacterial components into the circulation was observed. Moreover, the aged microbiota promoted increased T cell activation in the systemic compartment. In conclusion, these data indicate that the gut microbiota from old mice contributes to inflammaging after transfer to young germ-free mice.
