Project description:Analysis of colonic epithelial cell gene expression in germ-free, Bacteroides uniformis-colonized, and Clostridia-colonized gnotobiotic mice. Bacteria were isolated from our SPF mouse facility and were used to selectively colonize germ-free mice. Germ free mice were left germ free or were colonized with Bacteroides uniformis or a consortium of Clostridia. Total RNA was extraced from colonic epithelial cells.

Project description:Long-term dietary intake influences the structure and activity of the trillions of microorganisms residing in the human gut, but it remains unclear how rapidly and reproducibly the human gut microbiome responds to short-term macronutrient change. Here we show that the short-term consumption of diets composed entirely of animal or plant products alters microbial community structure and overwhelms inter-individual differences in microbial gene expression. The animal-based diet increased the abundance of bile-tolerant microorganisms (Alistipes, Bilophila and Bacteroides) and decreased the levels of Firmicutes that metabolize dietary plant polysaccharides (Roseburia, Eubacterium rectale and Ruminococcus bromii). Microbial activity mirrored differences between herbivorous and carnivorous mammals, reflecting trade-offs between carbohydrate and protein fermentation. Foodborne microbes from both diets transiently colonized the gut, including bacteria, fungi and even viruses. Finally, increases in the abundance and activity of Bilophila wadsworthia on the animal-based diet support a link between dietary fat, bile acids and the outgrowth of microorganisms capable of triggering inflammatory bowel disease. In concert, these results demonstrate that the gut microbiome can rapidly respond to altered diet, potentially facilitating the diversity of human dietary lifestyles.

Project description:We illustrate how metabolically distinct species of Clostridia can protect against or worsen Clostridioides difficile infection, modulating the pathogen's colonization, growth, and virulence to impact host survival. Gnotobiotic mice colonized with the amino acid fermenter Paraclostridium bifermentans survived infection while mice colonized with the butyrate-producer, Clostridium sardiniense, more rapidly succumbed. Systematic in vivo analyses revealed how each commensal altered the gut nutrient environment, modulating the pathogen's metabolism, regulatory networks, and toxin production. Oral administration of P. bifermentans rescued conventional mice from lethal C. difficile infection via mechanisms identified in specifically colonized mice. Our findings lay the foundation for mechanistically informed therapies to counter C. difficile disease using systems biologic approaches to define host-commensal-pathogen interactions in vivo.

Project description:The microbiome provides resistance to infection. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We demonstrate that colonization with the intestinal bacterium Clostridium scindens protects from Entamoeba histolytica colitis via innate immunity. Introduction of C. scindens into the gut microbiota epigenetically altered and expanded bone marrow granulocyte-monocyte progenitors (GMPs) and resulted in increased intestinal neutrophils with subsequent challenge with E. histolytica. Introduction of C. scindens alone was sufficient to expand GMPs in gnotobiotic mice. Adoptive transfer of bone marrow from C. scindens-colonized mice into naive mice protected against amebic colitis and increased intestinal neutrophils. Children without E. histolytica diarrhea also had a higher abundance of Lachnoclostridia. Lachnoclostridia C. scindens can metabolize the bile salt cholate, so we measured deoxycholate and discovered that it was increased in the sera of C. scindens-colonized specific pathogen-free and gnotobiotic mice, as well as in children protected from amebiasis. Administration of deoxycholate alone increased GMPs and provided protection from amebiasis. We elucidated a mechanism by which C. scindens and the microbially metabolized bile salt deoxycholic acid alter hematopoietic precursors and provide innate protection from later infection with E. histolytica.

Project description:The microorganisms colonizing the gastrointestinal tract of animals, collectively referred to as the gut microbiome, affect numerous host behaviors dependent on the central nervous system (CNS). Studies comparing germ-free mice to normally colonized mice have demonstrated influences of the microbiome on anxiety-related behaviors, voluntary activity, and gene expression in the CNS. Additionally, there is epidemiologic evidence supporting an intergenerational influence of the maternal microbiome on neurodevelopment of offspring and behavior later in life. There is limited experimental evidence however directly linking the maternal microbiome to long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes, or knowledge regarding mechanisms responsible for such effects. Here we show that that the maternal microbiome has a dominant influence on several offspring phenotypes including anxiety-related behavior, voluntary activity, and body weight. Adverse outcomes in offspring were associated with features of the maternal microbiome including bile salt hydrolase (Bsh) expression, abundance of certain bile acids, and hepatic expression of S1pr2. In cross-foster experiments, offspring resembled their birth dam phenotypically, despite faithful colonization in the postnatal period with the surrogate dam microbiome. Genome-wide methylation analysis of hippocampal DNA identified microbiome-associated differences in methylation of 196 loci in total, 176 of which were imprinted by the maternal microbiome. Further, single-cell transcriptional analysis revealed accompanying differences in expression of several differentially methylated genes within certain hippocampal cell clusters, and vascular expression of genes associated with bile acid transport. Inferred cell-to-cell communication in the hippocampus based on coordinated ligand-receptor expression revealed differences in expression of neuropeptides associated with satiety. Collectively, these data provide proof-of-principle that the maternal gut microbiome has a dominant influence on the neurodevelopment underlying certain offspring behaviors and activities, and selectively affects genome methylation and gene expression in the offspring CNS in conjunction with that neurodevelopment.

Project description:Morphine causes microbial dysbiosis. In this study we focused on restoration of native microbiota in morphine treated mice and looked at the extent of restoration and immunological consequences of this restoration. Fecal transplant has been successfully used clinically, especially for treating C. difficile infection2528. With our expanding knowledge of the central role of microbiome in maintenance of host immune homeostasis17, fecal transplant is gaining importance as a therapy for indications resulting from microbial dysbiosis. There is a major difference between fecal transplant being used for the treatment of C. difficile infection and the conditions described in our studies. The former strategy is based on the argument that microbial dysbiosis caused by disproportionate overgrowth of a pathobiont can be out-competed by re-introducing the missing flora by way of a normal microbiome transplant. This strategy is independent of host factors and systemic effects on the microbial composition. Here, we show that microbial dysbiosis caused due to morphine can be reversed by transplantation of microbiota from the placebo-treated animals.

Project description:The purpose of this study is to describe the effects of allogeneic stem cell transplant on oral microbiota and to examine differences in those patients who acquired respiratory complications. Forty-five patients were consented for the study and followed for 100 days post-transplant. Eleven patients represented by 115 speciment had specimens collected before and after transplant were subjected to further analysis. The Human Oral Microbe Identification Microarray was used for this analysis. In these 11 patients, five developed respiraotry complications after transplant and six did not develop this complication. Cluster analysis was used to identify patterns in the data. 115 specimens are included from 11 patients. These specimens were collected before and after transplant. There are no duplicate samples.
