Project description:Host pathways mediating changes in immune states elicited by intestinal microbial colonization are incompletely characterized. Here we describe alterations of the host immune state induced by colonization of germ-free zebrafish larvae with an intestinal microbial community or single bacterial species. We show that microbiota-induced changes in intestinal leukocyte subsets and whole-body host gene expression are dependent on the innate immune adaptor gene myd88. Similar patterns of gene expression are elicited by colonization with conventional microbiome, as well as mono-colonization with two different zebrafish commensal bacterial strains. By studying loss-of-function myd88 mutants, we find that colonization suppresses Myd88 at the mRNA level. Tlr2 is essential for microbiota-induced effects on myd88 transcription and intestinal immune cell composition.

Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. Acquisition of the intestinal microbiota begins at birth, and a stable microbial community develops from a succession of key organisms. Disruption of the microbiota during maturation by low-dose antibiotic exposure can alter host metabolism and adiposity. We now show that low-dose penicillin (LDP), delivered from birth, induces metabolic alterations and affects ileal expression of genes involved in immunity. LDP that is limited to early life transiently perturbs the microbiota, which is sufficient to induce sustained effects on body composition, indicating that microbiota interactions in infancy may be critical determinants of long-term host metabolic effects. In addition, LDP enhances the effect of high-fat diet induced obesity. The growth promotion phenotype is transferrable to germ-free hosts by LDP-selected microbiota, showing that the altered microbiota, not antibiotics per se, play a causal role. These studies characterize important variables in early-life microbe-host metabolic interaction and identify several taxa consistently linked with metabolic alterations. Refer to individual Series

Project description:The intestinal microbiota has been identified as an environmental factor that markedly impacts energy storage and body fat accumulation, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here we show that the microbiota regulates body composition through the circadian transcription factor NFIL3. Nfil3 transcription oscillates diurnally in intestinal epithelial cells and the amplitude of the circadian oscillation is controlled by the microbiota through type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3), STAT3, and the epithelial cell circadian clock. NFIL3 controls expression of a circadian lipid metabolic program and regulates lipid absorption and export in intestinal epithelial cells. These findings provide mechanistic insight into how the intestinal microbiota regulates body composition and establish NFIL3 as an essential molecular link among the microbiota, the circadian clock, and host metabolism.

Male mice were exposed to low-dose penicillin (6.7 mg/L), from birth. Ileums were collected at 8 weeks of age, RNA was extracted, and transcriptional differences were measured by microarray analysis.

Project description:This pilot research trial studies the effects of chemotherapy on intestinal bacteria/organisms (microbiota) in patients newly diagnosed with breast cancer. Change in intestinal microbiota may be associated with weight gain in patients treated with chemotherapy. Weight gain has been also associated with cancer recurrence. Examining the types and quantity of bacterial composition in the stool of breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy may help determine whether body weight and composition are associated with changes in the intestinal microbiota and allow doctors to plan better treatment to prevent weight gain and possibly disease recurrence.

Project description:Sirtuins are sensors that orchestrate cellular responses to adapt to changing situations. Here, we show that a protein-restricted diet induces strongly induces increased intestinal expression of the sole Drosophila mitochondrial sirtuin, dSirt4. To elucidate the effects of deregulated dSirt4 expression in the intestine, we analyzed dSirt4-deficient animals. These dSirt4-deficient flies show substantial changes in their intestine's intestinal proteome and their physiological properties. One of the most striking effects was the strong induction of lysozyme gene expression in the intestine, which was also matched by increased lysozyme activity. This effect was organ-autonomous, as it was also observed in flies in which dSirt4 was knocked down only in the intestinal enterocytes. This significantly increased lysozyme expression in response to dSirt4 downregulation did not reduce the total number of bacteria in the gut, but rather shifted the composition of the microbiota by reducing the number of gram-positive bacteria. This effect on microbiota composition can be attributed to dSirt4-dependent lysozyme expression, as it is absent in a lysozyme-deficient background. dSirt4 deficiency in the enterocytes shortened the lifespan of the flies, which was also observed in flies with ectopic lysozyme overexpression in the enterocytes. We assume that high lysozyme expression leads to a dysbiotic state of the microbiota associated with a shortened lifespan.

Project description:Autophagy, a cytoprotective mechanism in intestinal epithelial cells, plays a crucial role in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Beyond its cell-autonomous effects, the significance of autophagy in these cells is increasingly acknowledged in the dynamic interplay between the microbiota and the immune response. In the context of colon cancer, intestinal epithelium disruption of autophagy has been identified as a critical factor influencing tumor development. This disruption modulates the composition of the gut microbiota, eliciting an anti-tumoral immune response. Here, we report that Atg7 deficiency in intestinal epithelial cells shapes the intestinal microbiota leading to an associated limitation of colitis induced by Citrobacter rodentium infection. Mice with an inducible, intestinal epithelial-cell-specific deletion of the autophagy gene, Atg7, exhibited enhanced clearance of C. rodentium, mitigated hyperplasia, and reduced pathogen-induced goblet cell loss. This protective effect is associated with the downregulation of pro-inflammatory pathways and an increase in Th17 and Treg responses—known protective immune responses against C. rodentium infection that are influenced by specific gut microbiota. Fecal microbiota transplantation and antibiotic treatment approaches revealed that the Atg7-deficiency-shapped microbiota, especially Gram-positive bacteria, plays a central role in driving resistance to C. rodentium infection. In summary, our findings highlight that inhibiting autophagy in intestinal epithelial cells contributes to maintaining homeostasis and preventing detrimental intestinal inflammation through microbiota-mediated colonization resistance against C. rodentium. This underscores the central role played by autophagy in shaping the microbiota in promoting immune-mediated resistance against enteropathogens

Male and female mice were exposed to low-dose penicillin from birth. In a second experiment, microbiota from female control and LDP mice was transferred to 3-week old female germ-free mice. Livers were collected at 8 weeks of age, RNA was extracted, and transcriptional differences were measured by RNAseq.

C57BL6J mice received low-dose penicillin through their drinking water (6.7 mg/L), control mice did not receive antibiotics. All mice were started on normal chow (13.5% fat kcal). At 17 weeks of age, half of the mice were switched to high fat diet (45% fat kcal). Livers were collected at age 30 weeks, RNA was extracted, and transcriptional differences were measured by microarray analysis.
