Project description:Colorectal cancer (CRC) is closely related to gut dysbiosis. We investigated the effects of imbalanced gut microbiota on the progression of intestinal adenoma in Apcmin/+ mice model using fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Administration of feces from CRC patients increased tumor proliferation and decreased apoptosis in tumor cells. Abnormal expression of genes related to Wnt-protein binding and lipid metabolic process was observed.

Project description:Obesity and altered lipid metabolism are associated with colorectal cancer (CRC). In this context, the presence of colonic lipid-engulfed macrophages (foam cells, FC) may hinder protective T cell immunity, thus favoring gut carcinogenesis.

Project description:Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Mutations in the innate immune receptor AIM2 are frequently identified in patients with colorectal cancer, but how AIM2 modulates colonic tumorigenesis is unknown. Here, we found that Aim2-deficient mice were hypersusceptible to colonic tumor development. Production of inflammasome-associated cytokines and other inflammatory mediators were largely intact in Aim2-deficient mice, however, intestinal stem cells were prone to uncontrolled proliferation. Aberrant Wnt signaling expanded a population of tumor-initiating stem cells in the absence of AIM2. Susceptibility of Aim2-deficient mice to colorectal tumorigenesis was enhanced by a dysbiotic gut microbiota, which was reduced by reciprocal exchange of gut microbiota with wild-type healthy mice. These findings uncover a synergy between a specific host genetic factor and gut microbiota in determining the susceptibility to colorectal cancer. Therapeutic modulation of AIM2 expression and microbiota has the potential to prevent colorectal cancer. We used microarrays to compare the transcriptome Aim2 deficent mice to wild type mice in colon tumor and colitis samples. Here were 12 mice in total, 3 for each genotype and tissue combination.

Project description:BACKGROUND & AIMS: There is mounting evidence that microbes resident in the human intestine contribute to diverse alcohol-associated liver diseases (ALD) including the most deadly form known as alcoholic hepatitis (AH). However, mechanisms by which gut microbiota synergize with excessive alcohol intake to promote liver injury are poorly understood. Furthermore, whether drugs that selectively target gut microbial metabolism can improve ALD has never been tested. METHODS: We used liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry to quantify the levels of microbe and host choline co-metabolites in healthy controls and AH patients, and identified the metabolite trimethylamine (TMA) as a gut microbe-derived biomarker of AH. In subsequent studies, we treated mice with non-lethal mechanism-based bacterial choline TMA lyase inhibitors to blunt gut microbe-dependent production of TMA in the context of chronic ethanol administration. Indices of liver injury were quantified by complementary RNA sequencing, biochemical, and histological approaches. In addition, we examined the impact of ethanol consumption and TMA lyase inhibition on gut microbiome structure via 16S rRNA sequencing. RESULTS: We show the gut microbial choline metabolite trimethylamine (TMA) is elevated in AH patients, which is correlated with reduced hepatic expression of the TMA oxygenase flavin-containing monooxygenase 3 (FMO3). Provocatively, we find that small molecule inhibition of gut microbial choline TMA lyase activity protects mice from ethanol-induced liver injury. TMA lyase inhibitor-driven improvement in ethanol-induced liver injury is associated with distinct reorganization of the gut microbiome community and host liver transcriptome. CONCLUSIONS: The microbial metabolite TMA is a biomarker of AH, and blocking TMA production from gut microbes can blunt ALD in mice.
