Microbial Toll/interleukin-1 domain NADase activities

ABSTRACT: Recent work indicates that Toll/Interleukin-1 receptor (TIR) domain-containing proteins degrade NAD. Given increasing attention to how the gut microbiome contributes to NAD metabolism and healthy growth, we examined the representation and expressed NADase activities of its TIR domains. The NADase activities of 151 bacterial TIRs were characterized in vitro. Gut bacterial strains representing the diversity of TIRs observed in the microbiome, and activities observed in vitro, were introduced into germ-free mice fed defined diets. Mass spectrometry of cecal metabolites disclosed that a product of TIR NADase activity, variant cyclic-ADPR-x, distinguished colonized from germ-free animals. Mass spectrometry and microbial RNA-Seq of gnotobiotic mice colonized with one, two and all members of this bacterial consortium, identified Bacteroides xylanisolvens as the principal in vivo source of v-cADPR-x. Guided by bioinformatic analyses of biochemically validated TIR domains, we determined that compared to age-matched healthy Bangladeshi children, those with acute malnutrition had significantly lower fecal levels of TIRs known or predicted to generate v-cADPR-x, and of this metabolite. These results indicate that v-cADPR-x may be an informative biomarker of healthy gut microbiome development.

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.
