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:In mice and humans, sleep quantity of individuals are governed by genetic factors and exhibit age-dependent variations. However, the core molecular pathways and effector mechanisms that regulate sleep time in mammals remain unclear. Here, we characterize a major signaling pathway for transcriptional regulation of sleep quantity in mice by adeno-associated virus-mediated somatic genetics analysis. Adult brain chimeric-knockout of LKB1 kinase, an activator of AMPK-related protein kinase SIK3/SLEEPY, markedly reduces non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) amount and delta power–a measure of sleep depth. Downstream of LKB1-SIK3 pathway, gain or loss-of-function of histone deacetylases HDAC4/5 in adult brain neurons causes bidirectional changes of NREMS amount and delta power. Phosphorylation of HDAC4/5 is regulated in relation to sleep need, and HDAC4 specifically regulates sleep amount in posterior hypothalamus. Genetic and transcriptomic studies reveal that HDAC4 cooperates with CREB in both transcriptional and sleep regulation. These findings introduce the concept of signaling pathways targeting transcription modulators to regulate daily sleep amount and demonstrate utility of somatic genetics in mouse sleep research.

Project description:Imprinted genes are highly expressed in the hypothalamus, however whether specific imprinted genes affect hypothalamic neuromodulators and their functions is unknown. It has been suggested that Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by lack of paternal expression at the chromosome 15q11-q13, characterised with a hypothalamic insufficiency. Here we investigate the role of paternally expressed Snord116 gene within the context of sleep and metabolic abnormalities of PWS, and we report a novel role of this imprinted gene in the function and organisation of the two main neuromodulatory systems of the lateral hypothalamus (LH), namely the orexin (OX) and the melanin concentrating hormone (MCH). We observe that the dynamic between neuronal discharge in the LH and sleep-wake states of mice carrying the paternal deletion of the Snord116 (PWScrm+/p-) is compromised. This abnormal state-dependent neuronal activity is paralleled by a significant reduction of OX neurons in LH of mutants. Therefore, we propose that unbalance between OX- and MCH- expressing neurons in the LH of mutants reflects in a series of deficits manifested in the PWS, such as dysregulation of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, food intake and temperature control.

Project description:This is a prospective study evaluating the relation between the gut microbiota composition, intestinal healing after colorectal surgery and colorectal cancer behavior.
Our hypothesis is that the gut microbiota composition could predict poor intestinal healing in colorectal surgery, and that the gut microbiota might have an impact on colorectal cancer clinical behavior and may predict disease outcomes.

Project description:Different mammalian species vary greatly in their daily sleep quota, ranging from 2-4 hours in giraffes to 20-22 hours in koalas and bats. In humans, the sleep quantity and quality of individuals are governed by genetic factors and exhibit age-dependent variations. However, the molecular pathways and effector mechanisms that regulate daily sleep need in mammals remain unknown. Here, using an adult brain chimeric (ABC)-expression/knockout (KO) system for somatic genetics analysis of sleep in adult mice, we report that gain-of-function of histone deacetylases HDAC4/5 significantly reduces, whereas loss-of-function of HDAC4/5 increases daily non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) amount and delta power–two key indicators of sleep need. Similarly, ABC-expression of cAMP-response element binding protein (CREB) or A-CREB, an inhibitor of transcriptional activity of CREB, decreases or increases NREMS amount and delta power, respectively. A combination of genetic and transcriptomic analysis reveals that HDAC4 functions in tandem with CREB in both transcriptional and sleep regulation. Consistent with their functions downstream of LKB1-SIK3 kinase cascade, ABC-expression of HDAC4/5CA or CREB rescues hypersomnia of Sik3E13∆/+ mice, whereas ABC-expression of SIK3/SLP-ST221E or HDAC(4+5)VP16 rescues insomnia of ABC-Lkb1KO mice. Taken together, these results identify LKB1-SIK3-HDAC4/5-CREB as the first major molecular pathway for transcriptional regulation of daily sleep need in mammals.
