Metaproteomics of Premature Infant Gut Colonization

ABSTRACT: Microbial colonization of the human gastrointestinal tract plays an important role in establishing health and homeostasis. However, the time-dependent and related functional signatures of microbial and human proteins during early colonization of the gut have yet to be determined. Thus, we employed shotgun proteomics via nano-2D-LC-MS/MS to simultaneously monitor microbial and human proteins in fecal samples from a healthy preterm infant during early development. ). All MS/MS spectra were searched against a predicted protein database containing 25 microbial species along with the Human RefSeq2011 genome using the SEQUEST algorithm (Eng et al, 1994), and filtered with DTASelect version 1.9 (Tabb et al, 2002) at the peptide level with standard filters [SEQUEST Xcorrs of at least 1.8 (+1), 2.5 (+2) 3.5 (+3)] organizing identified peptides to their corresponding protein sequences. This study provides the first elucidation of coordinated human and microbial proteins in the infant gut during early development.

Project description:Intestinal paracellular permeability (IPP) is high at birth and is involved in gut barrier maturation and liver development. Chronic maternal separation (MS) in early life alters intestinal barrier function in adulthood. However, only transient MS commonly occurs in human newborns, but whether a single episode of MS in early postnatal days (PND) affects the maturation of the gut-liver axis has not been explored. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of a single MS of short duration in neonate rats on epithelial barrier integrity in the gut and on gene expression in the liver. Male and female pups were separated from their dams for 4h or not (controls) at PND10 or PND20. Total intestinal paracellular permeability (IPP) was measured through mucosal-to-plasma passage of oral FITC-Dextran 4 KD with or without ML7, a blocker of myosin light chain kinase (MLCK), or Mifepristone (RU486), an antagonist of the glucocorticoid receptor. Dose response to dexamethasone (DEX) on IPP was studied at PND10 and PND20. Bacterial translocation (BT) was assessed in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN), liver and spleen in the presence or absence of ML7. The hepatic transcriptome was studied using Agilent microarrays and qPCR on PND10 rats pretreated or not with ML7. At PND10, control pups showed basal BT to MLN while liver and spleen were sterile. A short-term MS procedure increased IPP and plasma corticosterone levels, resulted in BT to the liver and spleen and had a clear impact on the hepatic transcriptome. Most notably, several genes involved in cell division were downregulated by MS. In PND10 rats, MS-induced increase of IPP and BT were blocked by ML7 or RU486, thus demonstrating a role of the MLCK pathway and of increased plasma levels of corticosterone in these effects of MS. All these effects of MS were absent in PND20 rats. Consistently, PND20 rats were found less sensitive to DEX exposure than PND10 rats. These results show that the early life period is a critical window for a short-term mother-infant separation, which can alter the development of the gut-liver axis and facilitate bacterial passage to systemic organs.
