Project description:Histone lysine lactylation (Klac) is a new posttranslational modification (PTM) that is installed by acetyltransferase to modulate specific immune responses1 and oncogenesis2,3. Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) is a beneficial bacterium that blunts ulcerative colitis (UC) in a mouse model by secreting extracellular vesicles (SEVs)4. Although many histone sites are known to contain lysine lactylation, whether this modification is regulated to modulate specific biological functions by exogenous acetyltransferase or intestinal microbiota is not well understood. Here, we discovered that SEV from A. muciniphila, rather than A. muciniphila per se, has anti-Th17 (T helper 17) differentiation activity. We further screened the composition of SEV and found that Amuc_2172 is the key active component. As a GCN5-related acetyltransferase of A. muciniphila, Amuc_2172 is accessible to naïve T cells and functions as a lactylation transferase on Lys4 of histone H3. Accelerated histone H3 lactylation (H3Klac) on Lys4 competitively blocks trimethylation (H3Kme3) on Il17a loci in the process of Th17-cell differentiation. Additionally, intraperitoneal application of recombinant Amuc_2172 also inhibited Th17 and dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC phenotypes in vivo; moreover, bioengineered Amuc_2172 showed improved colitis site delivery and higher Th17 inhibition potential compared to Amuc_2172 alone. Our study reveals not only a potential therapeutic strategy for treating colitis but also a model via which lysine lactylation is regulated by the intestinal microbiota, which may be broadly applicable to understand the crosstalk of bacteria and immunity.

Project description:Akkermansia muciniphila, a bacterium, is associated with good health, but data are lacking whether it confers health benefits on children in low income countries and by which mechanisms. In a case-control study of children <5 years old with (n=1717) or without (n=1524) diarrhea, the presence of A. muciniphila reduces the odds ratio of symptoms of diarrhea from six diarrheal pathogens. A. muciniphila is found more frequently among children who are growing well compared with those who are growing poorly. In silico analysis of 1487 A. muciniphila genomes revealed the presence of DNA encoding the peptide larazotide known to benefit human health by improving tight junctions. Although previously considered synthetic, we demonstrated that larazotide is secreted by A. muciniphila. Larazotide is found in the nucleus of colonic epithelial cells and its exogenous application alters gene expression. When larazotide is applied to colonic organoid cultures, the amount of mucin (MUC2) is increased significantly (p<0.005). Our analyses are consistent with A. muciniphila secreting larazotide and intestinal epithelial cells responding by increasing MUC2, potentially creating a positive feedback loop that increases mucin production, which may itself increase abundance of the mucin-metabolizing A. muciniphila. This cycle may confer positive health outcomes for children.

Project description:Akkermansia muciniphila is recognized as a promising probiotic that improves the symptoms of a variety of diseases. However, the role and mechanism of A. muciniphila in regulating intestinal homeostasis remain to be explored. Here, we discovered that A. muciniphila was dramatically increased during colitis recovery, and its colonization greatly increased goblet cells to protect the intestinal barrier in mice. Amuc_0904, a previously uncharacterized A. muciniphila outer membrane protein, was identified to induce goblet cell differentiation.We want to find the receptors that 904 interacts with cells to explore the detailed mechanism.

Project description:The use of Akkermansia muciniphila as potential therapeutic intervention is receiving increasing attention. Health benefits attributed to this bacterium include an improvement of metabolic disorders and exerting anti-inflammatory effects. The abundance of A. muciniphila is associated with a healthy gut in early mid- and later life. However, the effects of A. muciniphila on a decline in intestinal health during the aging process are not investigated yet. We supplemented accelerated aging Ercc1-/Δ7 mice with A. muciniphila for 10 weeks and investigated histological, transcriptional and immunological aspects of intestinal health. The thickness of the colonic mucus layer increased about 3-fold after long-term A. muciniphila supplementation and was even significantly thicker compared to mice supplemented with Lactobacillus plantarum WCFS1. Colonic gene expression profiles pointed towards a decreased expression of genes and pathways related to inflammation and immune function, and suggested a decreased presence of B cells in colon. Total B cell frequencies in spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes were not altered after A. muciniphila supplementation. Mature and immature B cell frequencies in bone marrow were increased, whereas B cell precursors were unaffected. These findings implicate that B cell migration rather than production was affected by A. muciniphila supplementation. Gene expression profiles in ileum pointed toward a decrease in metabolic- and immune-related processes and antimicrobial peptide production after A. muciniphila supplementation. Besides, A. muciniphila decreased the frequency of activated CD80+CD273- B cells in Peyer’s patches. Additionally, the increased numbers of peritoneal resident macrophages and a decrease in Ly6Cint monocyte frequencies in spleen and mesenteric lymph nodes add evidence for the potentially anti-inflammatory properties of A. muciniphila. Altogether, we show that supplementation with A. muciniphila prevented the age-related decline in thickness of the colonic mucus layer and attenuated inflammation and immune-related processes at old age. This study implies that A. muciniphila supplementation can contribute to a promotion of healthy aging.

Project description:Akkermansia muciniphila, a common member of the human gut microbiota, is considered to be a beneficial resident of the intestinal mucus layer. Surface-exposed molecules produced by this organism likely play important roles in colonization and communication with other microbes and the host, but the protein composition of the outer membrane has not been characterized thus far. Herein we identify A. muciniphila proteins after enrichment and fractionation of the outer membrane proteome of A. muciniphila.

Project description:In this study, we attempted to identify a new probiotic effector molecule of A. muciniphila that plays a role in modulating host cells through secretome analysis. We performed proteomic profiling of secretome of A. muciniphila cultivated under basal medium and BHI medium (supplemented with 0.2% mucin) using nanoflow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nLC-MS/MS).
