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:We have previously demonstrated that the gut microbiota can play a role in the pathogenesis of conditions associated with exposure to environmental pollutants. It is well accepted that diets high in fermentable fibers such as inulin can beneficially modulate the gut microbiota and lessen the severity of pro-inflammatory diseases. Therefore, we aimed to test the hypothesis that hyperlipidemic mice fed a diet enriched with inulin would be protected from the pro-inflammatory toxic effects of PCB 126.

Project description:Healthy aging relies on a symbiotic host–microbiota relationship. The age-associated decline of the immune system can pose a threat in this delicate equilibrium. In this work, we investigated how the functional deterioration of T cells can impact host–microbiota symbiosis and gut barrier integrity and the implications of this deterioration for inflammaging, senescence, and health decline. Using the Tfamfl/flCd4Cre mouse model, we found that T cell failure compromised gut immunity leading to a decrease in T follicular and regulatory T (Treg) cells and an accumulation of highly proinflammatory and cytotoxic T cells. These alterations were associated with intestinal barrier disruption and gut dysbiosis. Microbiota depletion or adoptive transfer of total CD4 T cells or a Treg cell–enriched pool prevented gut barrier dysfunction and mitigated premature inflammaging and senescence, ultimately enhancing healthspan in this mouse model. Thus, a competent CD4 T cell compartment is critical to ensure healthier aging by promoting host–microbiota mutualism and gut barrier integrity.

Project description:Background: Checkpoint blockade immunotherapy represented by PD-1/PD-L1 or CTLA4 antibody treatment, has been of tremendous success for multiple cancers. Most patients with prostate cancer (PCa) either do not respond to CTLA4 immune checkpoint blockade or develop resistance to it, often because of low CTLA4 antigen presentation in cancer cells.

Project description:The gut microbiome plays a critical role in enhancing the effectiveness of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy. Here, we demonstrate that oral supplementation with the prebiotics mannose slows tumor growth in immunocompetent mice in a manner dependent on the gut microbiota. This effect is associated with an increase in the abundance of Faecalibaculum. Mannose generates an immune-stimulatory tumor microenvironment (TME), characterized by a higher percentage of effector and memory CD8+ T cells, along with a notable immunoreactive gene expression signature. Crucially, mannose modulates the stemness program of CD8+ T cells and promotes the generation of progenitor exhausted CD8+ T cells (Tpex). Mechanistically, mannose enhances the production of the short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) propionate and butyrate by the gut microbiota. Administration of propionate and butyrate suppresses tumor progression and stimulates the expansion and differentiation of Tpex both in vivo and in vitro. Furthermore, mannose works synergistically with PD-1 blockade, resulting in tumor regression and enhanced differentiation of intratumoral Tpex into intermediate exhausted CD8+ T cells (Tex-int) and terminally exhausted CD8+ T cells (Tex-term). We also identified a gene signature related to mannose therapy that correlates with favorable responses to ICB across various cancers. Overall, our findings support the combination of mannose dietary supplementation with anti-PD-1 immunotherapy in treating ovarian cancer and suggest its potential for clinical application.

Project description:Gut microbiota dysbiosis characterizes systemic metabolic alteration, yet its causality is debated. To address this issue, we transplanted antibiotic-free conventional wild-type mice with either dysbiotic (“obese”) or eubiotic (“lean”) gut microbiota and fed them either a NC or a 72%HFD. We report that, on NC, obese gut microbiota transplantation reduces hepatic gluconeogenesis with decreased hepatic PEPCK activity, compared to non-transplanted mice. Of note, this phenotype is blunted in conventional NOD2KO mice. By contrast, lean microbiota transplantation did not affect hepatic gluconeogenesis. In addition, obese microbiota transplantation changed both gut microbiota and microbiome of recipient mice. Interestingly, hepatic gluconeogenesis, PEPCK and G6Pase activity were reduced even once mice transplanted with the obese gut microbiota were fed a 72%HFD, together with reduced fed glycaemia and adiposity compared to non-transplanted mice. Notably, changes in gut microbiota and microbiome induced by the transplantation were still detectable on 72%HFD. Finally, we report that obese gut microbiota transplantation may impact on hepatic metabolism and even prevent HFD-increased hepatic gluconeogenesis. Our findings may provide a new vision of gut microbiota dysbiosis, useful for a better understanding of the aetiology of metabolic diseases. all livers are from NC-fed mice only.

Project description:Gut microbiota are recognized to be important for anticancer therapy, yet the underlying mechanism is not clear. Herein, we demonstrate that gut microbial metabolite butyrate improves anticancer therapy efficacy by regulating intracellular calcium homeostasis. Butyrate metabolism is activated in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Butyrate supplementation or depletion of short-chain Acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACADS), a key enzyme for butyrate metabolism, significantly inhibit HCC proliferation and metastasis. Profiling analysis of genes upregulated by butyrate supplementation or ACADS knockdown reveal that calcium signaling pathway is activated, leading to dysregulation of intracellular calcium homeostasis and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Butyrate supplementation improves the therapy efficacy of a tyrosine kinase inhibitor sorafenib. Butyrate and sorafenib co-encapsulated monomethoxy (polyethylene glycol)-poly (D, L-lactide-co-glycolide)-poly(L-lysine)-glypican 3 (PEAL-GPC3) nanoparticles significantly reduce HCC progression. Our findings provide new insight into the mechanisms that the gut microbial metabolites inhibit HCC progression and suggest a translatable therapeutics approach to enhance the clinical targeted therapeutic efficacy.
