Potential role of indolelactate and butyrate in multiple sclerosis revealed by integrated microbiome-metabolome analysis.

ABSTRACT: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated disease whose precise etiology is unknown. Several studies found alterations in the microbiome of individuals with MS, but the mechanism by which it may affect MS is poorly understood. Here we analyze the microbiome of 129 individuals with MS and find that they harbor distinct microbial patterns compared with controls. To study the functional consequences of these differences, we measure levels of 1,251 serum metabolites in a subgroup of subjects and unravel a distinct metabolite signature that separates affected individuals from controls nearly perfectly (AUC = 0.97). Individuals with MS are found to be depleted in butyrate-producing bacteria and in bacteria that produce indolelactate, an intermediate in generation of the potent neuroprotective antioxidant indolepropionate, which we found to be lower in their serum. We identify microbial and metabolite candidates that may contribute to MS and should be explored further for their causal role and therapeutic potential.

The Impact of Microbiome and Microbiota-Derived Sodium Butyrate on <i>Drosophila</i> Transcriptome and Metabolome Revealed by Multi-Omics Analysis.

Project description:The host microbiome plays an important role in regulating physiology through microbiota-derived metabolites during host-microbiome interactions. However, molecular mechanism underly host-microbiome interactions remains to be explored. In this study, we used Drosophila as the model to investigate the influence of microbiome and microbiota-derived metabolite sodium butyrate on host transcriptome and metabolome. We established both a sterile Drosophila model and a conventional Drosophila model to demonstrate the role of sodium butyrate. Using multi-omics analysis, we found that microbiome and sodium butyrate could impact host gene expression patterns in both the sterile Drosophila model and the conventional Drosophila model. The analysis of gut microbial using 16S rRNA sequencing showed sodium butyrate treatment also influenced Drosophila bacterial structures. In addition, Drosophila metabolites identified by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-MS/MS were shown to be affected by sodium butyrate treatment with lipids as the dominant changed components. Our integrative analysis of the transcriptome, the microbiome, and the metabolome data identified candidate transcripts that are coregulated by sodium butyrate. Taken together, our results reveal the impact of the microbiome and microbiota-derived sodium butyrate on host transcriptome and metabolome, and our work provides a better understanding of host-microbiome interactions at the molecular level with multi-omics data.

The impacts of microbiome and microbiota-derived sodium butyrate on Drosophila transcriptome and metabolome revealed by multi-omics analysis

Project description:Drosophila melanogaster was used to investigate the influence of microbiota-derived intestinal flora and its metabolites on host transcriptional regulation by adding sodium butyrate to a sterile diet for constructing a sterile Drosophila model. In order to further investigate the effects of sodium butyrate on Drosophila melanogaster at the molecular mechanism level, we detected the abundance and composition of midgut microbial colonies based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, and analyzed the overall structure and metabolic activities of host transcriptional networks by combining transcriptome and non-target metabolomics data.

Metagenomic analysis revealed the potential role of gut microbiome in gout.

Project description:Emerging evidence indicates an association between gut microbiome and arthritis diseases including gout. However, how and which gut bacteria affect host urate degradation and inflammation in gout remains unclear. Here we performed a metagenome analysis on 307 fecal samples from 102 gout patients and 86 healthy controls. Gout metagenomes significantly differed from those of healthy controls. The relative abundances of Prevotella, Fusobacterium, and Bacteroides were increased in gout, whereas those of Enterobacteriaceae and butyrate-producing species were decreased. Functionally, gout patients had greater abundances for genes in fructose, mannose metabolism and lipid A biosynthesis, and lower for genes in urate degradation and short chain fatty acid production. A three-pronged association between metagenomic species, functions and clinical parameters revealed that decreased abundances of species in Enterobacteriaceae were associated with reduced amino acid metabolism and environmental sensing, which together contribute to increased serum uric acid and C-reactive protein levels in gout. A random forest classifier based on three gut microbial genes showed high predictivity for gout in both discovery and validation cohorts (0.91 and 0.80 accuracy), with high specificity in the context of other chronic disorders. Longitudinal analysis showed that uric-acid-lowering and anti-inflammatory drugs partially restored gut microbiota after 24-week treatment. Comparative analysis with obesity, type 2 diabetes, ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis indicated that gout metagenomes were more similar to those of autoimmune than metabolic diseases. Our results suggest that gut dysbiosis was associated with dysregulated host urate degradation and systemic inflammation and may be used as non-invasive diagnostic markers for gout.

Molecular subgroup of periodontitis revealed by integrated analysis of the microbiome and metabolome in a cross-sectional observational study.

Project description:Background: Periodontitis (PT) is a multifactorial, chronic inflammatory disease that can have heterogeneous clinical presentations. The oral microbiome and its metabolites have been implicated as the causes and regulators of PT pathogenesis. In this study, we assessed the oral microbiome and its metabolome in PT patients to clarify the interactions between the microbiome and its metabolites.Methods: A total of 112 subjects were recruited. Buccal and supragingival samples were collected for microbiome analysis. Saliva samples were collected for metabolomic analyses. Microbiome and metabolome data were analyzed and further integrated for combined analysis using various bioinformatics approaches.Results: Oral metabolomic analysis identified 28 metabolites distinguishing the healthy (H) and PT groups. PT group were further clustered into two subgroups (PT_G1 and PT_G2) depending on metabolite profiles. Oral microbiome analysis revealed discriminatory bacterial species in the H, PT_G1, and PT_G2 microbiota. Interestingly, PT_G2 had significantly higher concentration of short chain fatty acids and higher abundance of pathogenic bacteria. Integrated analysis of the microbiome and metabolome showed close association.Conclusion: Our results provide evidence of a close interplay between the oral microbiome and metabolome. Multi-omics approach including microbiome and microbe-associated metabolites may serve as diagnostic biomarkers and enhance treatment prediction in periodontal disease.

Integrated analysis of gut metabolome, microbiome, and brain function reveal the role of gut-brain axis in longevity.

Project description:The role of microbiota-gut-brain axis in modulating longevity remains undetermined. Here, we performed a multiomics analysis of gut metagenomics, gut metabolomics, and brain functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in a cohort of 164 participants, including 83 nonagenarians (NAs) and 81 non-nonagenarians (NNAs) matched with their spouses and offspring. We found that 438 metabolites were significantly different between the two groups; among them, neuroactive compounds and anti-inflammatory substances were enriched in NAs. In addition, increased levels of neuroactive metabolites in NAs were significantly associated with NA-enriched species that had three corresponding biosynthetic potentials: Enterocloster asparagiformis, Hungatella hathewayi and Oxalobacter formigenes. Further analysis showed that the altered gut microbes and metabolites were linked to the enhanced brain connectivity in NAs, including the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)-left premotor cortex (PMC), left DLPFC-right primary motor area (M1), and right inferior frontal gyrus (IFG)-right M1. Finally, we found that neuroactive metabolites, altered microbe and enhanced brain connectivity contributed to the cognitive preservation in NAs. Our findings provide a comprehensive understanding of the microbiota-gut-brain axis in a long-lived population and insights into the establishment of a microbiome and metabolite homeostasis that can benefit human longevity and cognition by enhancing functional brain connectivity.

Metabolic drivers of human keratinocyte differentiation revealed by integrated metabolome and transcriptome analysis

Project description:Epidermal function is maintained through a continuous process called epidermal homeostasis, in which keratinocytes gradually differentiate from proliferating stem cells to dead corneocytes that shed off the skin. We investigated the metabolic rewiring that occur during keratinocyte differentiation. We analyzed endometabolome, exometabolome and transcriptome during differentiating in vitro under high calcium conditions. Using network-based computational approaches, we found that proliferating keratinocytes gain energy through branched-chain amino acid-fueled TCA cycle that is shut down during differentiation. Upon differentiation, metabolism is repurposed to serve two main purposes. First, to form the epidermal barrier. Specifically, glucose and nucleotides are utilized for the formation of the lipid-enriched hydrophobic extracellular matrix, the transformation from keratinocytes to corneocytes and their cross-linking. Second, we found active regulation of metabolites with signaling functions during differentiation including hydrocortisone, sphingosines, and exonucleotides. Functional relevance of these findings was tested experimentally by 14 metabolic perturbations that were inferred by our analysis, and effectively affected keratinocytes differentiation and proliferation. Overall, this work provides an integrated and mechanistic analysis of the metabolic underpinnings that sustain epidermal function.

The "Gut Feeling": Breaking Down the Role of Gut Microbiome in Multiple Sclerosis.

Project description:Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neuroinflammatory disease of the central nervous system with unknown etiology. Recently, the gut microbiota has emerged as a potential factor in the development of MS, with a number of studies having shown that patients with MS exhibit gut dysbiosis. The gut microbiota helps the host remain healthy by regulating various functions, including food metabolism, energy homeostasis, maintenance of the intestinal barrier, inhibition of colonization by pathogenic organisms, and shaping of both mucosal and systemic immune responses. Alteration of the gut microbiota, and subsequent changes in its metabolic network that perturb this homeostasis, may lead to intestinal and systemic disorders such as MS. Here we discuss the findings of recent MS microbiome studies and potential mechanisms through which gut microbiota can predispose to, or protect against, MS. These findings highlight the need of an improved understanding of the interactions between the microbiota and host for developing therapies based on gut commensals with which to treat MS.

Integrated microbiome-metabolome analysis reveals novel associations between fecal microbiota and hyperglycemia-related changes of plasma metabolome in gestational diabetes mellitus.

Project description:Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been associated with circulating metabolic disorders and alterations in gut microbiota, respectively. Although changes in gut microbiota contribute to metabolic diseases, the connections between gut microbiota and the circulating metabolic state in GDM remain largely undetermined. To investigate the associations between gut microbiota and the circulating metabolome of GDM, we enrolled 40 pregnant women (20 with GDM and 20 non-diabetic control), and performed multi-omics association (MOA) study on 16s rRNA sequencing of fecal microbiota and 1H-NMR profiling of the plasma metabolome. The results suggested that both fecal microbiota and the plasma metabolome of the enrolled pregnant women could be separated along the vector of hyperglycemia. A close correlation between fecal microbiota and the plasma metabolome of GDM was observed by MOA approaches. Redundancy Analysis identified five plasma metabolites (glycerol, lactic acid, proline, galactitol and methylmalonic acid) and 98 members of fecal microbiota contributing to the close correlation between the plasma metabolome and fecal microbiota. Further spearman rank correlation analysis revealed that four out of five of the identified plasma metabolites (except galactitol) were correlated with hyperglycemia. Co-occurring network analysis suggested that 15 out of 98 of the members of fecal microbiota were positively correlated with each other, forming a co-occurring cohort (mainly consisted of the phylum Firmicutes). The results of this study demonstrated that alterations in fecal microbiota were associated with hyperglycemia related changes of the plasma metabolome of women with GDM, suggesting novel therapies against gut microbiota to alleviate GDM.

Integrated Lipidomics and Metabolomics Analysis of Tears in Multiple Sclerosis: An Insight into Diagnostic Potential of Lacrimal Fluid.

Project description:Metabolomics based on mass spectrometry represents an innovative approach to characterize multifactorial diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MuS). To date, the most important biomarker source for MuS diagnosis is the cerebrospinal fluid. However, an important goal for research is to identify new molecules in more easily accessible biological fluids. A very interesting biofluid in MuS is represented by tears, considered as an intermediate fluid between the cerebrospinal fluid and serum. In this work, we developed a merged strategy for the analysis of lipids containing choline by Liquid Chromatography coupled to Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), as well as for the targeted analysis of free carnitine, acylcarnitines and aminoacids by direct infusion mass spectrometry. Samples for both metabolomics and lipidomics approaches were obtained in a single extraction procedure from tears of patients affected by MuS and healthy controls. Tear lipidomics showed 30 phospholipids significantly modulated and, notably, many sphingomyelins resulted lower in MuS. Moreover, the metabolomics approach carried out both on tears and serum highlighted the diagnostic potential of specific aminoacids and acylcarnitines. In conclusion, the metabolic profiling of tears appears to reflect the pathological conditions of the central nervous system, suggesting that the molecular repository of tears can be considered as a source of potential biomarkers for MuS.

Integrated microbiome-metabolome-genome axis data of Laiwu and Lulai pigs.

Project description:Excessive fat deposition can trigger metabolic diseases, and it is crucial to identify factors that can break the link between fat deposition and metabolic diseases. Healthy obese Laiwu pigs (LW) are high in fat content but resistant to metabolic diseases. In this study, we compared the fecal microbiome, fecal and blood metabolome, and genome of LW and Lulai pigs (LU) to identify factors that can block the link between fat deposition and metabolic diseases. Our results show significant differences in Spirochetes and Treponema, which are involved in carbohydrate metabolism, between LW and LU. The fecal and blood metabolome composition was similar, and some anti-metabolic disease components of blood metabolites were different between the two breeds of pigs. The predicted differential RNA is mainly enriched in lipid metabolism and glucose metabolism, which is consistent with the functions of differential microbiota and metabolites. The down-regulated gene RGP1 is strongly negatively correlated with Treponema. Our omics data would provide valuable resources for further scientific research on healthy obesity in both human and porcine.
