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:The gut microbiota is closely associated with digestion, metabolism, immunity, and host health. The imbalance of the microbial community in livestock directly affects their well-being and, consequently, productivity. The composition and diversity of the gut microbiota are influenced not only by host genetics but also by environmental factors such as the microbial complexity of the rearing environment, feeds, and antibiotics. Here, we focus on the comparison of gut microbial communities in miniature pigs developed for xenotransplantation in specific pathogen-free (SPF) and conventional (non-SPF) facilities. To identify the disparities in gut microbial composition and functionality between these two environments, 16S RNA metagenome sequencing was conducted using fecal samples. The results revealed that the non-SPF pigs had higher gut microbiota diversity than the SPF pigs. The genera Streptococcus and Ruminococcus were more abundant in SPF pigs than in non-SPF pigs. Blautia, Bacteroides, and Roseburia were exclusively observed in SPF pigs, whereas Prevotella was exclusively found in non-SPF pigs. Carbohydrate and nucleotide metabolism, as well as environmental information processing, were predicted to be enriched in SPF pigs. In addition, energy and lipid metabolism, along with processes related to genetic information, cellular communication, and diseases, were predicted to be enriched in non-SPF pigs. This study makes an important contribution to elucidating the impact of environments harboring a variety of microorganisms, including pathogens, on the gut microbiota of miniature pigs. Furthermore, we sought to provide foundational data on the characteristics of the gut microbiota in genetically modified pigs, which serve as source animals for xenotransplantation.

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:Flagellins from commensal bacteria can be weak Toll-like receptor (TLR)5 agonists despite high affinity binding to TLR5, ligands we termed “silent flagellins”. To determine if silent flagellins are detectable in the human gut, endogenous flagellins produced by the microbiota were isolated from stool obtained from a healthy adult female donor. TLR5 was used as bait to enrich for silent flagellins and TLR5-bound flagellins were identified by searching peptides against a custom flagellin database built from metagenome sequences.

Project description:Fibromyalgia is a complex disorder whose main symptoms are chronic widespread pain and fatigue, and affects between 0.2 and 6.6% of the world population. Nowadays, there are no molecular biomarkers which could facilitate diagnosis, underlining the extreme necessity of basic research on this chronic disorder. The latest efforts by the researchers have focused on studying problems at the level of central nervous system sensitivity, inflammatory and oxidative disorders, and even imbalances related to the intestinal microbiota. A total of 892 women were initially enrolled in the study. For those fulfilling inclusion criteria, a plasma proteome analysis in blood samples was conducted. Briefly, blood was collected, centrifuged and analyzed by liquid nano-chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. After the raw data analysis, proteins with statistically significant differential abundance and a fold change over 1.2 (20% increase in fibromyalgia compared with control samples) or under 0.8 (20% decrease in fibromyalgia compared with control samples) in fibromyalgia were selected. For fecal metagenome analysis, fecal samples were collected, homogenized and processed for DNA extraction. Amplicon sequencing of V3–V4 regions from the 16S ribosomal RNA gene was performed using the Illumina MiSeq platform Quality control procedures were implemented using thresholds set at 50,000 reads per sample, Q30 Phred Score and an average trimmed read length of 280bp. The statistical analysis was conducted using R v4.3.2 base packages. After applying exclusion criteria, 242 women (199 patients and 43 age- and environmentally paired healthy individuals) provided plasma and feces samples, as well as properly filled health questionnaires. A total of 30 proteins and 19 taxa were differentially expressed in fibromyalgia patients, and its integration into an algorithm allows to discriminate cases and controls. The multiomic approach for biomarker discovery in this study propose a multifactorial connection between gut microbiota and mitochondria-derived oxidative stress and inflammation. Plasma and fecal multiomics analysis suggest an intricate and multifactorial connection between gut microbiota and mitochondria-derived oxidative stress and inflammation in FM patients, with glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and Streptococcus salivarius as leading actors.
