Interplay Between Human Gut Bacteria Escherichia coli and Lactobacillus mucosae in the Occurrence of Neuropsychiatric Disorders in Mice.

ABSTRACT: To understand the roles of human gut bacteria in the occurrence of neuropsychiatric disorders, we isolated inflammatory Escherichia coli K1 and anti-inflammatory Lactobacillus mucosae from healthy human feces and examined their effects on the occurrence of altered microbiota, cognitive decline, and depression in mice. Oral gavage of Escherichia coli K1 caused colitis, cognitive decline, and depression in mice in the elevated plus maze, tail suspension, and forced swimming tasks. However, NK41 treatment reduced K1-induced cognitive decline and anxiety/depression. Furthermore, NK41 treatment increased K1-suppressed brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expression and BDNF+/NeuN+ cell population and suppressed K1-induced NF-?B activation and LPS+/Iba1+ and NF-?B+/Iba1+ (microglial) cell populations in the hippocampus. NK41 treatment also suppressed K1-induced TNF-? and LPS levels in the blood and TNF-? expression, myeloperoxidase activity, NF-?B+/CD11c+ and CD11b+/CD11c+ cell populations in the colon. Furthermore, NK41 treatment decreased K1-induced colonic MUC2 expression, gut Proteobacteria population, and fecal LPS levels and modified the bacterial abundance related to polysaccharide breaking and biosynthesis. In conclusion, the overgrowth of inflammatory bacteria such as Escherichia coli in the gastrointestinal tract can cause neuropsychiatric disorders with gut microbiota alteration and the superiority of anti-inflammatory bacteria such as Lactobacillus mucosae can alleviate neuropsychiatric disorders with the attenuation of altered microbiota.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Antibiotics, used for 60 years to promote weight gain in animals, have been linked to obesity in adults and in children when administered during early infancy. Lactobacillus reuteri has been linked to obesity and weight gain in children affected with Kwashiorkor using ready-to-use therapeutic food. In contrast, Escherichia coli has been linked with the absence of obesity. Both of these bacteria are resistant to vancomycin. OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: We assessed vancomycin-associated weight and gut microbiota changes, and tested whether bacterial species previously linked with body mass index (BMI) predict weight gain at 1 year. All endocarditis patients treated with vancomycin or amoxicillin in our center were included from January 2008 to December 2010. Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, Lactobacillus and Methanobrevibacter smithii were quantified using real-time PCR on samples obtained during the 4-6 weeks antibiotic regimen. L. reuteri, L. plantarum, L. rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium animalis and E. coli were quantified on stool samples obtained during the first week of antibiotics. RESULTS: Of the193 patients included in the study, 102 were treated with vancomycin and 91 with amoxicillin. Vancomycin was associated with a 10% BMI increase (odds ratio (OR) 14.1; 95% confidence interval (CI; 1.03-194); P=0.047) and acquired obesity (4/41 versus 0/56, P=0.01). In patients treated with vancomycin, Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Lactobacillus increased, whereas M. smithii decreased (P<0.05). The absence of E. coli was an independent predictor of weight gain (OR=10.7; 95% CI (1.4-82.0); P=0.02). Strikingly, a patient with an 18% BMI increase showed a dramatic increase of L. reuteri but no increase of E. coli. CONCLUSION: The acquired obesity observed in patients treated with vancomycin may be related to a modulation of the gut microbiota rather than a direct antibiotic effect. L. reuteri, which is resistant to vancomycin and produces broad bacteriocins, may have an instrumental role in this effect.
