Project description:Dysbiosis of the gut microbiota has been linked to disease pathogenesis in type 1 diabetes (T1D), yet the functional consequences to the host of this dysbiosis is unknown. Here, we have performed a metaproteomic analysis of 103 stool samples from subjects that either had recent-onset T1D, were high-risk autoantibody positive or low-risk autoantibody negative relatives of individuals with beta cell autoimmunity or healthy individuals to identify signatures in host and microbial proteins associated with disease risk. Multivariate modelling analysis demonstrated that both human host proteins and microbial derived proteins could be used to differentiate new-onset and seropositive individuals from low-risk and healthy controls. Significant alterations were identified between subjects with T1D or islet autoimmunity versus autoantibody negative and control subjects in the prevalence of individual host proteins associated with exocrine pancreas function, inflammation and mucosal function. Data integrationIntegrative analysis combining the metaproteomic data with bacterial abundance showed that taxa that were depleted in new-onset T1D patients were positively associated with host proteins involved in maintaining function of the mucous barrier, microvilli adhesion and exocrine pancreas. These data support the notion that T1D patients have increased intestinal inflammation and decreased barrier function. They also confirmed that pancreatic exocrine dysfunction occurs in new-onset T1D patients and show for the first time that this dysfunction is present in high-risk individuals prior to disease onset. Our data has identified a unique T1D-associated signature in stool that may be useful as a means to monitor disease progression or response to therapies aimed at restoring a healthy microbiota.

Project description:Chronic inflammation and gut microbiota dysbiosis are risk factors for colorectal cancer. In clinical practice, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients have a greatly increased risk of developing colitis associated colorectal cancer (CAC). However, the basis underlying the initiation of CAC remains to be explored. Systematic filtration through existing genome-wide association study (GWAS) and conditional deletion of Zfp90 in CAC mice model indicated that Zfp90 was a putative oncogene in CAC development. Strikingly, depletion of gut microbiota eliminated the tumorigenic effect of Zfp90 in CAC mice model. Moreover, fecal microbiota transplantation demonstrated Zfp90 promoted CAC depending on gut microbiota. Combining 16s rDNA sequencing in feces specimens from CAC mice model, we speculated that Prevotella copri-defined microbiota might mediate the oncogenic role of Zfp90 in the development of CAC. Mechanistic studies revealed Zfp90 accelerated CAC development through Tlr4-Pi3k-Akt-Nf-κb pathway. Our findings elucidated the crucial role of Zfp90-microbiota-Nf-κb axis in creating a tumor-promoting environment and suggested therapeutic targets for CAC prevention and treatment.

Project description:Cognitive impairment (CI) is a prevalent neurological condition characterized deficient attention, causal reasoning, learning and/or memory. Many genetic and environmental factors increase risk for CI, and the gut microbiome is increasingly implicated. However, the identity of gut microbes associated with CI risk, their effects on CI, and their mechanisms of action remain unclear. Here we examine the gut microbiome in response to restricted diet and intermittent hypoxia, known environmental risk factors for CI. Modeling the environmental factors together in mice potentiates CI and alters the gut microbiota. Depleting the microbiome by antibiotic treatment or germ-free rearing prevents the adverse effects of environmental risk on CI, whereas transplantation of the risk-associated microbiome into naïve mice confers CI. Parallel sequencing and gnotobiotic approaches identify the pathobiont Bilophila wadsworthia as enriched by the environmental risk factors for CI and as sufficient to induce CI. Consistent with CI-related behavioral abnormalities, B. wadsworthia and the risk-associated microbiome disrupt hippocampal activity, neurogenesis and gene expression. The CI induced by B. wadsworthia and by environmental risk factors is associated with microbiome-dependent increases in intestinal IFNy-producing Th1 cells. Inhibiting Th1 cells abrogates the adverse effects of both B. wadsworthia and environmental risk factors on CI. Together, these findings identify select gut bacteria that contribute to environmental risk for CI in mice by promoting inflammation and hippocampal dysfunction.

Project description:Gut microbiota is involved in metabolic disorders. However, microbiome-based therapeutic interventions are not always effective, which might be due to interference of the host factors. Here, we first identified a strong positive correlation between OPN levels and BMI in humans. Next, we confirmed that OPN could aggravate high-fat diet induced metabolic disorders in mice. Importantly, we found that fecal microbiota transplantation from OPN-deficient mice significantly alleviated metabolic disorders in WT mice. OPN directly induces remodeling of the gut microbiota both in vitro and in vivo. These findings indicate that OPN could contribute to metabolic disorders by inducing an alteration of gut microbiota. OPN regulated the relative abundance of Lactobacillus by decreasing the adhesion of Lactobacillus to intestinal epithelial cells through Notch signaling pathway. These data identify OPN may serve as a potential pharmaceutical target for weight control and metabolic disorders treatment.
