Project description:We profiled transcriptome and accessible chromatin landscapes in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) from mice reared in the presence or absence of microbiota. We show that regional differences in gene transcription along the intestinal tract were accompanied by major alterations in chromatin organization. Surprisingly, we discovered that microbiota modify host gene transcription in IECs without significantly impacting the accessible chromatin landscape. Instead, microbiota regulation of host gene transcription might be achieved by differential expression of specific TFs and enrichment of their binding sites in nucleosome depleted CRRs near target genes. Our results suggest that the chromatin landscape in IECs is pre-programmed by the host in a region-specific manner to permit responses to microbiota through binding of open CRRs by specific TFs. mRNA and accessible chromatin (DNase-seq) profiles from colonic and ileal IECs were compared between conventionally-raised (CR), germ-free (GF), and conventionalized (CV) C57BL/6 mice.

Project description:The spatial organization of gut microbiome is essential for their interactions with the host. Recently, microbiota alteration in ileum is getting the increasing recognition due to the close interplay with inflammatory diseases and the tumor immunosurveillance. However, how ileal microbiome is spatially regulated remains unclear. Here, we show that DNA-damaging chemotherapy specifically remodels microbiota in ileal mucosa, resulting in the overgrowth of local family Lachnospiraceae that promotes antitumor immunity and synergizes with immune checkpoint blockage. Mechanistically, the prominent proliferative state of transit amplifying cells (TACs) in the ileal crypt presents a vulnerability to chemotherapy-caused genomic stress, resulting in the accumulation of cytosolic dsDNA that subsequently activates AIM2 inflammasome. AIM2-dependent production of IL18 boosts Th1 immunity in ileal lamina propria, which further impairs the antimicrobial host defense of proximal Paneth cells via activating IFN-γ-JAK-STAT signaling. Our findings demonstrate that AIM2 inflammasome shapes ileal microbiome via governing the compartmentalized cellular interplay in ileal crypt, providing mechanistic insights into the regulation of gut biogeography and implicating therapeutic strategies of spatial microbiome intervention using chemotherapy.

Project description:We previously showed that abnormal morphology phenotype of ileal Paneth cells (Paneth cell phenotype [PCP]; as a surrogate for PC function) correlate with genetics, microbiota compositions, and aggressive outcome in Crohn’s disease (CD) patients. Given the shared genetics and clinical features between CD and ulcerative colitis (UC), we hypothesized that abnormal PCP also negatively modulates UC outcomes. As PCs has the highest density in the ileum, we further hypothesized that abnormal PCP from the terminal ileum could increase the risk of development of pouch complications after UC total colectomy and ileal pouch anal anastomosis (IPAA).

Project description:To characterize the effect of microbiota on global gene expression in the distal small intestine during postnatal gut development we employed mouse models with experimental colonization by intestinal microbiota. Using microarray analysis to assess global gene expression in ileal mucosa at the critical stage of intestinal development /maturation associated with weaning, and asking how expression is affected by microbial colonization In the study presented here, preweaned and postweaned GF, SPF mouse small intestinal total RNAs were used. Also, 3-week-old gnotobiotic mouse as well as GF mouse small intestinal RNAs were used.

Project description:Crohn’s Disease (CD) pathogenesis is still unclear. Disorders in the mucosal immunoregulation and its crosstalk with the microbiota may represent an important component in tissue injury. We aimed to characterize the molecular immune response distribution within the ileal layers ( mucosa, submucosa and serosa) and to evaluate the correlated microbiota in pathological/healthy settings comparing first surgery/relapse clinical conditions.

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:Inflammatory bowel diseases encompass gastrointestinal illnesseses typified by chronic inflammation, loss of epithelial integrity and gastrointestinal microbiota dysbiosis. In an effort to counteract these characteristic perturbations, we used stem cells and/or a probiotic preparation in a murine model of Dextran Sodium Sulfate induced colitis to examine both their efficacy in ameliorating disease and impact on niche-specific microbial communities of the lower GI tract. Colitis was induced in C57BL/6 mice by administering 3% DSS in drinking water for 10 days prior to administering one of three treatment plans: daily probiotic (VSL#3) supplementation for 3 days, a single tail vein injection of 1x106 murine mesenchymal stem cells, or both. Controls included DSS-untreated mice and DSS-treated mice that received no therapy. Ileal, cecal and colonic sections were collected for microbiota and histological analyses. Microbiota profiling revealed distinct bacterial community compositions in the ileum, cecum and colon of control untreated animals, all of which were predicted in silico to be enriched for a number of discrete KEGG pathways, indicating compositional and functional niche specificity in healthy animals. DSS- treatment perturbed community composition in all three niches with ileal communities exhibiting the greatest change relative to control animals. Stem cell, VSL#3 and the combination treated animals exhibited treatment-specific microbiota composition in the lower GI tract, though disease scores were only improved in VSL#3 treated animals. This VSL#3-associated shift in the ileal microbiota was characterized by significant Enterobacteriaceae enrichment compared to colitic animals (p<0.05),
