Project description:Gut microbiome research is rapidly moving towards the functional characterization of the microbiota by means of shotgun meta-omics. Here, we selected a cohort of healthy subjects from an indigenous and monitored Sardinian population to analyze their gut microbiota using both shotgun metagenomics and shotgun metaproteomics. We found a considerable divergence between genetic potential and functional activity of the human healthy gut microbiota, in spite of a quite comparable taxonomic structure revealed by the two approaches. Investigation of inter-individual variability of taxonomic features revealed Bacteroides and Akkermansia as remarkably conserved and variable in abundance within the population, respectively. Firmicutes-driven butyrogenesis (mainly due to Faecalibacterium spp.) was shown to be the functional activity with the higher expression rate and the lower inter-individual variability in the study cohort, highlighting the key importance of the biosynthesis of this microbial by-product for the gut homeostasis. The taxon-specific contribution to functional activities and metabolic tasks was also examined, giving insights into the peculiar role of several gut microbiota members in carbohydrate metabolism (including polysaccharide degradation, glycan transport, glycolysis and short-chain fatty acid production). In conclusion, our results provide useful indications regarding the main functions actively exerted by the gut microbiota members of a healthy human cohort, and support metaproteomics as a valuable approach to investigate the functional role of the gut microbiota in health and disease.

Project description:Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a disorder of the gut-brain axis, characterized by altered gut function and frequent psychiatric co-morbidity. Although altered intestinal microbiome profiles have been documented, their relevance to the clinical expression of IBS is unknown. To evaluate a functional role of the microbiota, we colonized germ-free mice with fecal microbiota from healthy controls or IBS patients with accompanying anxiety, and monitored gut function and behavior. Mouse microbiota profiles clustered according to their human donors. Despite having taxonomically similar composition as controls, mice with IBS microbiota had distinct serum metabolomic profiles related to neuro- and immunomodulation. Mice with IBS, but not control microbiota, exhibited faster gastrointestinal transit, intestinal barrier dysfunction, innate immune activation and anxiety-like behavior. These results support the notion that the microbiota contributes to both intestinal and behavioral manifestations of IBS and rationalize the use of microbiota-directed therapies in ameliorating IBS.

Project description:The increased consumption of various beverages has been paralleled by an epidemic of several intestinal diseases around the world, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and colorectal cancer. Mounting evidence have shown that excessive consumption of beverages increases the risk of IBD and IBS. In addition, sugar-sweeter, food additives and food ingredients were identified to play important roles in these conditions. Consuming cold beverage is common among some people, especially in the youngsters. However, whether the cold stress contribute directly to host metabolism, gut barrier and gut-brain axis is unclear. In an intestinal function disorder model induced by cold water in mice, we investigated changes in gut transit, anxiety and depression like behavior. To evaluate the effect of cold water on gut barrier, we investigate the tight junctions in the colon. In addition, we employed RNA sequencing transcriptomic analysis to identify genes potentially driving the gut injury, and in parallel, examine the gut microbiota and metabolites in the feces.In an intestinal function disorder model induced by cold water in mice, we investigated changes in gut transit, anxiety and depression like behavior.
