Project description:Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease in middle-aged and elderly people. The disorder of gut microbiota is involved in the pathophysiological process of various neurological diseases, and many studies have confirmed that gut microbiota is involved in the progression of PD. As one of the most effective methods to reconstruct gut microbiota, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been considered as an important treatment for PD. However, the mechanism of FMT treatment for PD is still lacking, which requires further exploration and can facilitate the application of FMT. As a model organism, Drosophila is highly conserved with mammalian system in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. In this study, there were significant differences in the gut microbiota of conventional Drosophila colonized from PD patients compared to those transplanted from normal controls. And we constructed rotenone-induced PD model in Drosophila followed by FMT in different groups, and investigated the impact of gut microbiome on transcriptome of the PD host. Microbial analysis by 16S rDNA sequencing showed that gut microbiota could affect bacterial structure of PD, which was confirmed by bacterial colonization results. In addition, transcriptome data suggested that gut microbiota can influence gene expression pattern of PD. Further experimental validations confirmed that lysosome and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction are the most significantly influenced functional pathways by PD-derived gut microbiota. In summary, our data reveals the influence of PD-derived gut microbiota on host transcriptome and helps better understanding the interaction between gut microbiota and PD through gut-brain axis. The present study will facilitate the understanding of the mechanism underlying PD treatment with FMT in clinical practice.

Project description:This study aimed to analyze changes in gut microbiota composition in mice after transplantation of fecal microbiota (FMT, N = 6) from the feces of NSCLC patients by analyzing fecal content using 16S rRNA sequencing, 10 days after transplantation. Specific-pathogen-free (SPF) mice were used for each experiments (N=4) as controls.

Project description:Intestinal barrier dysfunction, driven by increased oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) activity that leads to tissue hypoxia, contributes to the progression of cirrhosis, particularly impacting the upper intestine. This study explores the interplay between intestinal OXPHOS, gut microbiota changes, and the effects of fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) in cirrhotic patients. We investigated 32 age-matched men across three groups: healthy controls, compensated cirrhosis, and decompensated cirrhosis. Each underwent endoscopy with duodenal and ascending colon biopsies. Subsequently, in a follow-up study, nine patients with hepatic encephalopathy, previously enrolled in a randomized controlled trial for FMT capsules, underwent repeat pre and post-FMT upper endoscopy. Our bioinformatics analysis highlighted a significant upregulation of nuclear-encoded OXPHOS genes in both intestinal regions of cirrhosis patients compared to controls, with further dysregulation in the decompensated group. We also observed a strong correlation between shifts in gut microbiota composition, Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) scores, and OXPHOS activity. Following FMT, patients displayed a significant reduction in OXPHOS gene expression in the duodenum, suggesting that FMT may restore intestinal barrier function and offer a therapeutic avenue to mitigate liver disease progression. The findings indicate that managing intestinal OXPHOS and microbiota through FMT could be relevant in modulating microbially-based therapies.

Project description:Rationale: Recent studies suggest a potential link between gut bacterial microbiota dysbiosis and PAH, but the exact role of gut microbial communities, including bacteria, archaea, and fungi, in PAH remains unclear. Objectives: To investigate the role of gut microbiota dysbiosis in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and to assess the therapeutic potential of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in modulating PAH progression. Methods: Using shotgun metagenomics, we analyzed gut microbial communities in IPAH patients and healthy controls. FMT was performed to transfer gut microbiota from IPAH patients or MCT-PAH rats to normal rats and from healthy rats to MCT-PAH rats. Hemodynamic measurements, echocardiography, histological examination, metabolomic and RNA-seq analysis were conducted to evaluate the effects of FMT on PAH phenotypes. Measurements and Main Results: Gut microbiota analysis revealed significant alterations in the bacterial, archaeal, and fungal communities in IPAH patients compared to healthy controls. FMT from IPAH patients induced PAH phenotypes in recipient rats. Conversely, FMT from healthy rats to IPAH rats significantly ameliorated PAH symptoms, restored gut microbiota composition, and normalized serum metabolite profiles. Specific microbial species were identified with high diagnostic potential for IPAH, improving predictive performance beyond individual or combined microbial communities. Conclusions: This study establishes a causal link between gut microbiota dysbiosis and IPAH and demonstrates the therapeutic potential of FMT in reversing PAH phenotypes. The findings highlight the critical role of bacterial, archaeal, and fungal communities in PAH pathogenesis and suggest that modulation of the gut microbiome could be a promising treatment strategy for PAH.

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:Rationale: Physical exercise is essential for skeletal integrity and bone health. The gut microbiome, as a pivotal modulator of overall physiologic states, is closely associated with skeletal homeostasis and bone metabolism. However, the potential role of intestinal microbiota in the exercise-mediated bone gain remains unclear. Methods: We conducted microbiota depletion and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in ovariectomy (OVX) mice and aged mice to investigate whether the transfer of gut ecological traits could confer the exercise-induced bone protective effects. The study analyzed the gut microbiota and metabolic profiles via 16S rRNA gene sequencing and LC-MS untargeted metabolomics to identify key microbial communities and metabolites responsible for bone protection. Transcriptome sequencing and RNA interference were employed to explore the molecular mechanisms. Results: We found that gut microbiota depletion hindered the osteogenic benefits of exercise, and FMT from exercised osteoporotic mice effectively mitigated osteopenia. Comprehensive profiling of the microbiome and metabolome revealed that the exercise-matched FMT reshaped intestinal microecology and metabolic landscape. Notably, alterations in bile acid metabolism, specifically the enrichment of taurine and ursodeoxycholic acid, mediated the protective effects on bone mass. Mechanistically, FMT from exercised mice activated the apelin signaling pathway and restored the bone-fat balance in recipient MSCs. Conclusion: Our study underscored the important role of the microbiota-metabolic axis in the exercise-mediated bone gain, heralding a potential breakthrough in the treatment of osteoporosis.
