A Pathobiont of the Microbiota Balances Host Colonization and Intestinal Inflammation

ABSTRACT: The mammalian gastrointestinal tract harbors a diverse microbiota residing in intimate contact with the host immune system. Though most associations are symbiotic or commensal, some resident bacteria (termed pathobionts) have the potential to induce disease in immunocompromised hosts. Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) have recently emerged as a novel mechanism for forging microbial-host interactions during infection. We reveal here a unique protective role for the T6SS of Helicobacter hepaticus, a Gram-negative bacterium of the murine intestinal microbiota. The T6SS of H. hepaticus targets effector substrates to intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Mutants in T6SSs display higher intracellular and cell-associated numbers upon incubation with IECs, and exhibit increased bacterial colonization of the gastrointestinal tract compared to wild-type bacteria. The T6SS accordingly directs an anti-inflammatory gene expression profile in IECs co-cultured with H. hepaticus. Remarkably, T6SS mutants induce an exacerbated pro-inflammatory response in an experimental model of colitis. CD4+ T cells isolated from T6SS mutant-colonized animals produce increased T-helper 17 (Th17) cytokines in response to IECs presenting H. hepaticus antigens. These data demonstrate that H. hepaticus intimately interacts with IECs and employs type VI secretion to establish a balanced host relationship by limiting microbial colonization and intestinal inflammation. We propose that altering host-bacterial equilibriums that lead to dysbiosis of the microbiota contributes to human disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer.

Microbiota modulate transcription in the intestinal epithelium without remodeling the accessible chromatin landscape

Project description:We profiled transcriptome and accessible chromatin landscapes in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) from mice reared in the presence or absence of microbiota. We show that regional differences in gene transcription along the intestinal tract were accompanied by major alterations in chromatin organization. Surprisingly, we discovered that microbiota modify host gene transcription in IECs without significantly impacting the accessible chromatin landscape. Instead, microbiota regulation of host gene transcription might be achieved by differential expression of specific TFs and enrichment of their binding sites in nucleosome depleted CRRs near target genes. Our results suggest that the chromatin landscape in IECs is pre-programmed by the host in a region-specific manner to permit responses to microbiota through binding of open CRRs by specific TFs. mRNA and accessible chromatin (DNase-seq) profiles from colonic and ileal IECs were compared between conventionally-raised (CR), germ-free (GF), and conventionalized (CV) C57BL/6 mice.

The effect of microbial colonization on the host proteome varies by gastrointestinal location

Project description:Endogenous intestinal microbiota have wide-ranging and largely uncharacterized effects on host physiology. Here, we used reverse-phase liquid chromatography-coupled tandem mass spectrometry to define the mouse intestinal proteome in the stomach, jejunum, ileum, cecum, and proximal colon under three colonization states: germ-free, monocolonized with Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, and conventionally raised. Our analysis revealed distinct proteomic abundance profiles along the gastrointestinal tract. Unsupervised clustering showed that host protein abundance primarily depended on gastrointestinal location rather than colonization state and specific proteins and functions that defined these locations were identified by random forest classifications. K-means clustering of protein abundance across locations revealed substantial differences in host protein production between conventionally raised mice relative to germ-free and monocolonized mice. Finally, comparison to fecal proteomic datasets suggested that the identities of stool proteins are not biased to any region of the gastrointestinal tract, but are substantially impacted by the microbiota in the distal colon.

Mouse intestinal epithelial cells in the deficiency of Foxo1

Project description:Mucus produced by goblet cells in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract forms a biological barrier that protects the intestine from invasion by commensals and pathogens. However, the host-derived regulatory network that controls mucus secretion and thereby changing gut microbiota has not been well studied. We found Forkhead box protein O1 (Foxo1) regulates mucus secretion by goblet cells and determines intestinal homeostasis. Loss of Foxo1 in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) results in a defect in goblet cell autophagy and mucus secretion, leading to impaired gut microenvironment and dysbiosis.

Genes controlling the activation of natural killer lymphocytes are epigenetically remodeled in intestinal cells from germ-free mice

Project description:Remodeling of the gut microbiota is implicated in various metabolic and inflammatory diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. We hypothesized that the gut microbiota affects the DNA methylation profile of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) which could, in turn, alter intestinal function. Here, we used mass spectrometry and methylated DNA capture to respectively investigate global and genome-wide DNA methylation of intestinal epithelial cells from germ-free (GF) and conventionally raised mice (CONV-R). In colonic IECs from GF mice, DNA was markedly hypermethylated. This was associated with a dramatic loss of Ten-Eleven-Translocation activity, a lower DNA methyltransferase activity and lower circulating levels of the one carbon metabolites cobalamin and folate. At the gene level, we found an enrichment for differentially methylated regions at proximity of genes regulating cytotoxicity of Natural Killer cells (FDR < 8.9E-6), notably members of the natural killer group 2 member D ligand superfamily Raet. Our results suggest that altered activity of methylation-modifying enzymes in GF mice influences the IEC epigenome at genes involved in the crosstalk between intestinal and immune cells. Epigenetic reprogramming of IECs by the gut microbiota may modulate intestinal function in diseases associated with altered gut microbiota.

Peyer's Patch BCR repertoire analysis in mice lacking H2-Ab1 on intestinal epithelial cells

Project description:Intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) express large amounts of major histocompatibility complex II (MHCII) molecules. Despite this long-appreciated observation, the function of epithelial MHCII-mediated signaling on gut homeostasis remains enigmatic. As IECs serve as the primary cellular barrier between intestinal microbes and underlying host immune cells, we reasoned that IEC-intrinsic antigen presentation may play a role in tolerogenic responses towards the microbiota. Mice with an IEC-intrinsic defect in MHCII expression (IECΔMHCII) develop elevated T cell-dependent IgA responses, but a reduction in microbiota responsive regulatory T cells (Tregs). Despite elevated IgA levels in IECΔMHCII mice, immunoglobulin repertoires exhibit less selection and IgA has reduced reactivity to the microbiota, which is associated with increased inter-individual variability in microbiota composition. Consistent with reductions in microbiota-responsive Tregs, IECΔMHCII mice develop worsened colitis. A striking difference observed in the absence of IEC-MHCII is that while transcription of MHCII is similar, underlying mononuclear phagocytes had reduced surface MHCII. Macrophages were found to be capable of acquiring MHCII molecules from IECs, and macrophages isolated from IECΔMHCII mice had decreased capacity to stimulate Treg development. Thus, epithelial-myeloid interactions govern development of adaptive responses to microbial antigens within the gastrointestinal tract.

Microbiota regulate intestinal epithelial gene expression by suppressing the transcription factor Hepatocyte nuclear factor 4 alpha (Mouse ChIP-seq, RNA-seq, and DNase-seq)

Project description:We profiled transcriptome and chromatin landscapes in jejunal mouse intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) from mice reared in the absence (Germ Free or GF) or presence (Conventionalized or CV) of microbiota. We show that microbiota colonization results in changes in histone modifications at hundreds of enhancers that are associated with microbiota-regulated genes. Furthermore, we show that microbiota colonization is associated with a drastic genome-wide reduction in Hnf4a and Hnf4g binding.
