Diversity of the human intestinal microbial flora.

ABSTRACT: The human endogenous intestinal microflora is an essential "organ" in providing nourishment, regulating epithelial development, and instructing innate immunity; yet, surprisingly, basic features remain poorly described. We examined 13,355 prokaryotic ribosomal RNA gene sequences from multiple colonic mucosal sites and feces of healthy subjects to improve our understanding of gut microbial diversity. A majority of the bacterial sequences corresponded to uncultivated species and novel microorganisms. We discovered significant intersubject variability and differences between stool and mucosa community composition. Characterization of this immensely diverse ecosystem is the first step in elucidating its role in health and disease.

In Vitro Transformation of Protopanaxadiol Saponins in Human Intestinal Flora and Its Effect on Intestinal Flora

Project description:Protopanaxadiol (PPD)-type ginsenosides are the main ginsenosides in ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) with potential therapeutic effects on diseases related to intestinal flora imbalance. This study aimed to investigate the in vitro metabolism of protopanaxadiol ginsenosides in human intestinal flora and their effect on the flora. Rapid resolution liquid chromatography coupled with quadruple-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (RRLC-Q-TOF MS) was utilised for the transformation of ginsenoside constituents for sample identification. Using 16S rDNA gene sequencing technique, the effect of PPD-type ginsenosides on gut microflora was analysed based on the indices of microflora diversity and gut microflora. The sample was transformed for 6 h, and the metabolites were ginsenoside Rb1, Rc, Rb2, Rb3, CO, Gyp-IX, Gyp-XVII, CMc-1, F2, Rg3, CK, Rh2, and PPD. The metabolites were CK, Rh2, and PPD when the samples were transformed for 60 h. The intestinal microflora were subjected to high-throughput sequencing using the Illumina MiSeq 2500 sequencing platform. In comparison with the faecal sample from the blank group, the protopanaxadiol saponin group significantly increased the relative abundance of Firmicutes and significantly decreased Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria at the phylum level, whereas it significantly increased the relative abundance of Prevotella_9, Faecalibacterium, and Dialister and significantly decreased Escherichia-Shigella, Dorea, and Lachnoclostridium at the genus level. This study provides a basis for the determination of the pharmacodynamic material basis and pharmacodynamic targets of PPD-type ginsenosides based on the intestinal flora.

Effect of a Humanized Diet Profile on Colonization Efficiency and Gut Microbial Diversity in Human Flora-Associated Mice.

Project description:Human flora-associated (HFA) mouse models allow us to design interventions for human disease research to test specific hypotheses and explore the complex commensal microbiome while avoiding the ethical limitations of using humans as models to directly study intestinal flora diseases. However, few studies have investigated the effect of a humanized diet profile (coarse-feed diet; CFD) on colonization efficiency and gut microbial diversity in HFA mice. We tested the colonization efficiency and gut microbial diversity in germ-free Kunming (KM) mice fed a CFD or a purified feed diet (PFD) at 1, 2, and 4 weeks. Although the colonization efficiencies differed significantly (67.50-70.00% vs. 72.69-85.96%) in the HFA mice, the colonization efficiency of the PFD-fed HFA mice (85.96%) was significantly higher than that of the CFD-fed mice (69.61%) at 2 weeks. At 4 weeks, the colonization efficiency of the PFD-fed mice (72.69%) was comparable to that of the CFD-fed mice (70.00%). Additionally, the gut microbial diversity of the CFD-fed HFA mice was similar to that of a human fecal donor. Regarding the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes colonic microbiota metabolic pathways, the CFD-fed HFA mice showed more similarities to the human donor than to the PFD-fed mice in amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism, biosynthesis of amino acids, carbon metabolism, purine metabolism, and phosphotransferase systems. In conclusion, the humanized diet profiles of the CFD and PFD could help establish human microbiotas in mice. Constructing HFA mouse models fed a CFD for 4 weeks may be useful in researching human-derived intestinal diseases.

Effect of bacteriocin NC8 on human intestinal flora

Project description:Herein, we evaluated the regulation of plantaricin NC8 on gut microbiota by in vitro simulation system, and assessed their modulation on different intestinal types, namely enterotype 1 (ET B) and enterotype 2 (ET P), for the first time. Plantaricin NC8 could not significantly promote or inhibit the production short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) by the gut flora in the fecal samples from eight subjects to produce through Gas chromatography (GC) determining, neither ET B nor ET P. 16S rDNA sequencing showed that plantaricin NC8 shortened the Shannon index of ET B and the Simpson index of ET P, but their β diversity change was not statistically significant. In addition, plantaricin NC8 could promote the growth of beneficial bacteria. Results showed that plantaricin NC8 mainly increased the abundance of Actinobacterias, Bacteroides, Bifidobacterium, Megamonas, Escherichia-Shigella, and decreased the abundance of Streptococcus in ET B. And it also increased the abundance of Prevotella_9, Bifidobacterium, Escherichia-Shigella, Mitsuokella and others in ET P. Plantaricin NC8 can influence intestinal microorganisms, but the influence were different for different enterotypes.

The Diversity of the Intestinal Flora Disturbed After Feeding Intolerance Recovery in Preterm Twins.

Project description:Background: Feeding intolerance (FI) is a common condition in premature infants that results in growth retardation and even necrotizing enterocolitis. The gut microbiome is linked to FI occurrence; however, the outcome after FI recovery is unclear. Methods: Fecal samples were collected from 11 pairs of premature twins/triplets for 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Initial fecal samples were collected shortly after admission, and then every other week until 7 weeks or discharge. Results: After FI recovery, there was no significant difference in the β-diversity of the intestinal flora between the FI group and the feeding tolerance (FT) group. By contrast, there was a significant difference in the β-diversity. Proteobacteria was the predominant phylum in the microbiome of the FI group, whereas Firmicutes was the predominant phylum in the microbiome of the FT group. The predominant bacteria with LDA >4 between the two groups at 13-15 days after birth, 19-28 days after birth, and at discharge were different, with the proportions of Bacillus, Clostridium butyricum, and Clostridium being highest in the FT group and Firmicutes, unidentified_Clostridiales, and Proteobacteria being highest in the FI group. Similarly, there were significant differences in the relative abundances of KEGG pathways, such as fatty acid metabolism, DNA repair and recombination proteins, energy metabolism, and amino acid metabolism, between the two groups (P < 0.01). Conclusions: There was a significant difference in diversity of the intestinal flora after feeding intolerance recovery. Feeding intolerance may disturb the succession of the intestinal bacterial community.

B7 Family Molecule VSIG4 Regulates Intestinal Anti-<i>Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli</i> Immunity by Altering Gut Flora Diversity.

Project description:As an essential member of the B7 family, V-set and immunoglobulin domain-containing 4 (VSIG4) is expressed explicitly in tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) and plays an essential role in maintaining the homeostasis of the environmental immune system. Here, we demonstrate that gene-targeted VSIG4-deficient mice infected with Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) display reduced bacterial burden. To reveal the role of VSIG4 in the fight against EHEC infection, we collected mice feces and used high-throughput 16S rRNA gene amplicons to detect changes in the flora. A total of 657330 sequences were sequenced on the PacBio platform, with an average length of 1498 bp. We found that VSIG4 deficiency could alter the gut microbiota by increasing diversity and shifting community composition. In particular, G_Akkermansia and G_Oscillo spiraceae increased significantly. These findings expand upon a prior observation that VSIG4 deficiency reduced EHEC colonization by changing the gut microbiota diversity and shifting community composition.
