Saliva alleviates hypertension through enrichment of intestinal Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron

ABSTRACT: Oral environment is closely linked to blood pressure regulation, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we demonstrated that saliva, abundantly secreted in the oral cavity, played a critical role in sustaining the abundance of Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt) in the gut microbiota, contributing to lowering blood pressure. Further investigation revealed that the mechanism driving this process originated from mucins and metal ions in saliva, which work synergistically to promote Bt growth. In turn, the significantly increased gut abundance of Bt contributed to blood pressure downregulation indirectly by synthesizing short-chain fatty acids and regulating sodium ion channels in the gut. Based on these findings, a unique saliva-driven surface-engineered probiotic strain was developed to advance clinical translational potential by boosting in vivo bioavailability, thus improving blood pressure management. This study not only revealed that saliva lowered blood pressure through gut microbiota but also proposes a novel perspective to hypertension management.

Investigation of oral microbiome composition in elderly Chinese patients with hypertension: A cross-sectional study

Project description:Background: Hypertension is one of the most common metabolic diseases in the elderly and its pathogenesis is associated with microbiota dysbiosis. Recent evidence suggests that oral microbiota dysbiosis is also an important factor in the development of hypertension. However, the relationship between hypertension and oral flora in the elderly has not been adequately investigated. Objective: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the structure of the oral microbiota and its correlation with hypertension in elderly hypertensive patients. To provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of hypertension. Methods: 206 subjects aged 60 ~ 89 years were selected and divided into normal (CON) and hypertensive (HTN) groups, according to the 2018 Chinese Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension. The oral microbiome composition of saliva samples was determined by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Results: Although there was no significant difference in α and β diversity between the two groups, systolic and diastolic blood pressure were the most important factors influencing the structure of the oral microbiota. At the phylum level, the relative abundance of the spirochete phylum and the mutualistic bacterial phylum was higher in the HT group than in the CON group (p < 0.05). Diastolic blood pressure was negatively correlated with Streptococcus. Furthermore, we analyzed HTN patients with 120 mmHg<systolic blood pressure<160 mmHg and systolic blood pressure>160 mmHg separately and found that the abundance of Saccharibacteria_(TM7) was significantly increased in the HTN_2 group. Conclusions: Our study identified specific oral microbiota in elderly hypertensive patients, confirming the relationship between oral microbiota and hypertension. This enhances our understanding of the important role of oral microbiota in the pathogenesis of hypertension and accumulates more evidence for microbial involvement in the development of hypertension.

Explorative study of stimulated saliva proteome in head and neck cancer patients pre-and post-treatment

Project description:Abstract Objectives: to compare saliva proteome of head and neck cancer patients prior to treatment and six months post-treatment with that of controls and relate the level of mucins with patient’s problems with dry mouth, sticky saliva and swallowing. Design: Five dentate patients and five age and gender matched controls were included. The stimulated salivary secretion rate was determined and saliva stored at -80°C. After thawing, 30 mg of each sample and a reference was trypsin digested. The digested peptides were analyzed by mass spectrometry. The relative abundances were transformed to log2 and significant differences determined. Relative abundances of mucins were compared with patient’s problems with dry mouth, sticky saliva and swallowing. Results: 966 proteins with ≥ 2 unique peptides were found. Compared with controls, 21 proteins were found in lower relative abundances and 30 in higher at pre-treatment and 28 proteins in lower relative abundances and 24 proteins in higher post-treatment. Regarding saliva proteins, a lower relative abundance of Cystatins was detected pre-treatment and lower relative abundances of Cystatin, Cysteine-rich secretory protein 3, Lactoperoxidase, Prolactin-inducible protein and Proline-rich protein 4 post-treatment. No clear relation between mucins and dry mouth, sticky saliva and problems with swallowing was detected. Conclusion: Decreases in several saliva proteins post cancer treatment might lead to a reduced defense against oral disorders. Knowledge about changes in saliva proteins in connection with oral cancer treatment is important for planning dental care for these patients.

Alterations of oral microbiota and impact on the gut microbiome in type 1 diabetes mellitus revealed by multi-omic analysis

Project description:Background Alterations of the gut microbiome have been linked to multiple chronic diseases. However, the drivers of such changes remain largely unknown. The oral cavity acts as a major route of exposure to exogenous factors including pathogens, and processes therein may affect the communities in the subsequent compartments of the gastrointestinal tract. Here, we perform strain-resolved, integrated multi-omic analyses of saliva and stool samples collected from eight families with multiple cases of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). Results We identified distinct oral microbiota mostly reflecting competition between streptococcal species. More specifically, we found a decreased abundance of the commensal Streptococcus salivarius in the oral cavity of T1DM individuals, which is linked to its apparent competition with the pathobiont Streptococcus mutans. The decrease in S. salivarius in the oral cavity was also associated with its decrease in the gut as well as higher abundances in facultative anaerobes including Enterobacteria. In addition, we found evidence of gut inflammation in T1DM as reflected in the expression profiles of the Enterobacteria as well as in the human gut proteome. Finally, we were able to follow transmitted strain-variants from the oral cavity to the gut at the metagenomic, metatranscriptomic and metaproteomic levels, highlighting not only the transfer, but also the activity of the transmitted taxa along the gastrointestinal tract. Conclusions Alterations of the oral microbiome in the context of T1DM impact the microbial communities in the lower gut, in particular through the reduction of “oral-to-gut” transfer of Streptococcus salivarius. Our results indicate that the observed oral-cavity-driven gut microbiome changes may contribute towards the inflammatory processes involved in T1DM. Through the integration of multi-omic analyses, we resolve strain-variant “mouth-to-gut” transfer in a disease context.

Acarbose Primarily Targets Intracellular GH97 Enzymes in Bacteroides to Impair Their Growth

Project description:The type 2 diabetes drug acarbose inhibits starch breakdown into glucose by host gluco(amylases) in the upper gastrointestinal tract. Acarbose is poorly absorbed by host tissue and transits to the large intestine with undigested starch. Numerous gut species in the Bacteroides genus break down starch but decrease in relative abundance in acarbose treated individuals. To mechanistically explain this observation, we used two model Bacteroides, Bacteroides ovatus (Bo) and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (Bt). Bt growth is severely impaired by acarbose whereas Bo growth is not. The Bacteroides use a starch utilization system (Sus) to grow on starch. We hypothesized that Bo and Bt Sus enzymes are differentially inhibited by acarbose and identified the periplasmic enzymes BoGH97CSus and SusB as the primer acarbose phenotype drivers. But, they do not explain the differential growth inhibition in Bo and Bt. Instead, acarbose affects starch processing at multiple points by competing for transport through the Sus beta-barrel proteins and binding to the Sus transcriptional regulators. Bo expresses a non-Sus GH97, BoGH97D, when grown in starch with acarbose. The Bt homolog, BtGH97H, is not expressed in the same conditions. Bt, however, does not benefit from overexpressing BoGH97D when exposed to acarbose. Though we predicted that acarbose exerts its effects on Bacteroides via enzyme inhibition, the drug interferes with multiple components of Sus to likely decrease bacterial fitness in the human gut. This work informs how acarbose exerts its beneficial effects on the microbiota and can be used to predict microbiota responsiveness to the drug.

Polyketide synthase-derived sphingolipids determine microbiota-mediated protection against pathogens inC. elegans

Project description:Protection against pathogens is a major function of the gut microbiota. Although bacterial natural products have emerged as crucial components of host-microbiota interactions, their exact role in microbiota-mediated protection is largely unexplored. We addressed this knowledge gap with the nematodeCaenorhabditis elegansand its microbiota isolatePseudomonas fluorescensMYb115 that is known to protect againstBacillus thuringiensis (Bt) infection. We find that MYb115-mediated protection depends on sphingolipids that are derived from an iterative type I polyketide synthase (PKS), thereby describing a noncanonical pathway of bacterial sphingolipid production. We provide evidence that MYb115-derived sphingolipids affectC. eleganstolerance to Bt infection by altering host sphingolipid metabolism. This work establishes sphingolipids as structural outputs of bacterial PKS and highlights the role of microbiota-derived sphingolipids in host protection against pathogens.

Development of pathophysiologically relevant models of sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia for therapeutic studies

Project description:β-hemoglobin disorders, such as sickle cell disease (SCD) and β-thalassemia (BT), are the most common inherited monogenic blood disorders globally. Despite decades of research, there are only four FDA-approved medications available for the management of SCD with hydroxyurea (HU) being the most widely used drug that partially benefits patients by inducing fetal hemoglobin (HbF) production. On the other hand, there are no approved oral drugs currently available for β-thalassemia patients. To our knowledge, there are currently no well-characterized erythroid progenitor cell lines available that can accurately replicate the pathophysiology of SCD and BT while also having the same genetic background apart from the disease mutation enabling consistency and reproducibility. Our novel, physiologically relevant cellular systems provide a plethora of avenues for researchers to investigate various applications related to parasite invasion, drug validation, and genome-editing in the context of SCD and BT.

Comparing the microbiota composition of stool, intestinal biopsy and saliva between patients with Adenoma and Adenocarcinoma

Project description:Increasing importance in the onset and progression from colonic adenomatous polyps (AP) to colorectal cancer (CRC) has been attributed to the gut microbiota and the oncometabolites they may produce. To comprehensively study the microbial spatial variations and role of microbiota in CRC progression, multiple niches from the gastrointestinal system have to be investigated. We collected saliva, tissue and stool samples from 61 patients, including 46 CRC patients and 15 AP patients, well matched in age and sex, who were undergoing surgery in 2018 at the Careggi University Hospital (Florence, Italy). For all samples and locations we surveyed microbial composition through 16S ribosomal RNA and metabolites using NMR, and compared them across tissues and disease state, also considering CRC TNM staging. Our result suggest the importance of microbiota communities and derived oncometabolites in CRC development. Such association can be a forerunner for future studies on CRC/AP management.

Salivary Transcriptomic Biomarkers for Insulin Resistance

Project description:We have performed gene expression microarray analysis to profile transcriptomic signatures between insulin resistance high risk subjects and insulin resistance low risk subjects Participants enrolled in this study were recruited in the overnight fasted state, then the collection and processing of glucose (fasting, 30, 60 and 120 minutes) and insulin from blood samples, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) , assessment of medical history, socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle factors, blood pressure and anthropometric and body composition measurements were conducted. During baseline visit, participants were asked to refrain from eating, drinking and oral hygiene procedures for at least 1-hour prior to saliva collection.5 ml of unstimulated whole saliva samples were consistently collected, stabilized and preserved, the sample supernatants were reserved at -80°C prior to assay. Based on the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), using the formula [HOMA-IR= (fasting glucose*fasting insulin)/405], participants were divided into 2 groups: IR high risk group (HOMA-IR value ?2.5) and IR low risk group (HOMA-IR value <2.5). Total RNA was extracted from saliva and subjected to gene expression microarray analysis using Affymetrix human genome 2.0 plus array

HuMiChip analysis of Saliva microbiota

Project description:Human saliva microbiota is phylogenetically divergent among host individuals yet their roles in health and disease are poorly appreciated. We employed a microbial functional gene microarray, HuMiChip 1.0, to reconstruct the global functional profiles of human saliva microbiota from ten healthy and ten caries-active adults. Saliva microbiota in the pilot population featured a vast diversity of functional genes. No significant distinction in gene number or diversity indices was observed between healthy and caries-active microbiota. However, co-presence network analysis of functional genes revealed that caries-active microbiota was more divergent in non-core genes than healthy microbiota, despite both groups exhibited a similar degree of conservation at their respective core genes. Furthermore, functional gene structure of saliva microbiota could potentially distinguish caries-active patients from healthy hosts. Microbial functions such as Diaminopimelate epimerase, Prephenate dehydrogenase, Pyruvate-formate lyase and N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase were significantly linked to caries. Therefore, saliva microbiota carried disease-associated functional signatures, which could be potentially exploited for caries diagnosis. The DMFT INDEX (Decayed, Missing, Filled [DMF] teeth index used in dental epidemiology) values are provided for each sample We employed a microbial functional gene microarray, HuMiChip 1.0, to reconstruct the global functional profiles of human saliva microbiota from ten healthy and ten caries-active adults.
