Integrated Microbiome and Metabolome Analysis Reveals a Positive Change in the Intestinal Environment of Myostatin Edited Large White Pigs.

ABSTRACT: Myostatin (MSTN) functional inactivation can change the proportion of lean meat and fat content in pigs. While both genotype and microbial composition are known to affect the host phenotype, so far there has been no systematic study to detect the changes in the intestinal microbial composition and metabolome of MSTN single copy mutant pigs. Here, we used 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolome analysis to investigate how MSTN gene editing affects changes in the microbial and metabolome composition in the jejunum and the cecum of Large White pigs. Our results showed that Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1, Bifidobacterium, Lachnospiraceae_UCG-007, Clostridium_sensu_stricto_6, Ruminococcaceae_UCG-002, and Ruminococcaceae_UCG-004 were significantly upregulated; while Treponema_2 and T34_unclassified were significantly downregulated in the jejunum of MSTN pigs. Similarly, Phascolarctobacterium, Ruminiclostridium_9, Succinivibrio, Longibaculum, and Candidatus_Stoquefichus were significantly upregulated, while Barnesiella was significantly downregulated in the cecum of MSTN pigs. Moreover, metabolomics analysis showed significant changes in metabolites involved in purine, sphingolipid and tryptophan metabolism in the jejunum, while those associated with glycerophospholipid and pyrimidine metabolism were changed in the cecum. Spearman correlation analysis further demonstrated that there was a significant correlation between microflora composition and metabolites. Our analyses indicated the MSTN editing affects the composition of metabolites and microbial strains in the jejunum and the cecum, which might provide more useable nutrients for the host of MSTN± Large White pigs.

Project description:Time-restricted feeding (TRF) mode is a potential strategy in improving the health and production of farm animals. However, the effect of TRF on microbiota and their metabolism in the large intestine of the host remains unclear. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the responses of microbiome and metabolome induced by TRF based on a growing-pig model. Twelve crossbred growing barrows were randomly allotted into two groups with six replicates (1 pig/pen), namely, the free-access feeding group (FA) and TRF group. Pigs in the FA group were fed free access while the TRF group were fed free access within a regular time three times per day at 07:00-08:00, 12:00-13:00, and 18:00-19:00, respectively. Results showed that the concentrations of NH4-N, putrescine, cadaverine, spermidine, spermine, total biogenic amines, isobutyrate, butyrate, isovalerate, total SCFA, and lactate were increased while the pH value in the colonic digesta and the concentration of acetate was decreased in the TRF group. The Shannon index was significantly increased in the TRF group; however, no significant effects were found in the Fisher index, Simpson index, ACE index, Chao1 index, and observed species between the two groups. In the TRF group, the relative abundances of Prevotella 1 and Eubacterium ruminantium group were significantly increased while the relative abundances of Clostridium sensu sticto 1, Lactobacillus, and Eubacterium coprostanoligenes group were decreased compared with the FA group. PLS-DA analysis revealed an obvious and regular variation between the FA and TRF groups, further pathway enrichment analysis showed that these differential features were mainly enriched in pyrimidine metabolism, nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism, glycerolipid metabolism, and fructose and mannose metabolism. In addition, Pearson's correlation analysis indicated that the changes in the microbial genera were correlated with the colonic metabolites. In conclusion, these results together indicated that although the overall microbial composition in the colon was not changed, TRF induced the gradient changes of the nutrients and metabolites which were correlated with certain microbial genera including Lactobacillus, Eubacterium_ruminantium group, Eubacterium coprostanoligenes group, Prevotella 1, and Clostridium sensu sticto 1. However, more studies are needed to understand the impacts of TRF on the health and metabolism of growing pigs.

Project description:Background and aims: Gene mutations or variants leading to insufficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) production have been associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In particular, 40-50% of patients with chronic granulomatous disease have IBD (CGD-IBD). CGD is caused by inherited defects in any one of the 5 subunits forming the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex 2 (NOX2), leading to severely reduced or absent phagocyte-derived ROS production. While conventional IBD therapies can treat CGD-IBD, their benefits must be weighed against the risk of infection in this immune compromised population. Understanding the impact of NOX2 defects on the composition and function of the intestinal microbiota may lead to the identification of treatments for CGD-IBD. Methods: We evaluated GI symptom and quality of life scores, and clinical biomarkers of local (i.e. fecal occult blood and calprotectin) and systemic (i.e. CBC, CRP, ESR, and albumin) inflammation in a cohort of 79 patients with CGD, 8 mutation carriers and 17 healthy controls followed at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We profiled the intestinal microbiome by 16S rRNA (V4 region) sequencing and the stool metabolome by mass spectrometry in all fecal samples, and further validated our findings by profiling the stool microbiome in a second cohort of 36 patients with CGD recruited from 11 centers across North-America through the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC). Predictive functional profiling of the microbial communities based on 16S rRNA sequencing was also performed. Results: After controlling for significant variables, we show decreased alpha diversity and identified distinct intestinal microbiome and metabolomic profiles in patients with CGD compared to healthy individuals. In particular, we observed enrichment for Erysipelatoclostridium spp., Sellimonas spp. and Lachnoclostridium spp. in stool samples from patients with CGD. Despite differences in alpha and beta diversity in samples from the NIH compared to the PIDTC cohort, there were several bacterial taxa that correlated significantly between both cohorts. We further demonstrate that patients with active IBD and/or a history of IBD have a distinct microbiome and metabolomic profile compared to patients without CGD-IBD and identified bacterial taxa to be evaluated as potential markers of disease severity, as well as targets for future therapeutic interventions. Conclusions: Intestinal microbiome and metabolomic signatures distinguished patients with CGD and CGD-IBD and identified microbial and metabolomic candidates to be further evaluated as potential targets to improve the management of patients with CGD-IBD.
