Project description:Antibiotic use is a risk factor for development of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). IBDs are characterized by a damaged mucus layer, which does not properly separate the host intestinal epithelium from the microbiota. Here, we hypothesized that antibiotics might affect the integrity of the mucus barrier. By systematically determining the effects of different antibiotics on mucus layer penetrability we found that oral antibiotic treatment led to breakdown of the mucus barrier and penetration of bacteria into the mucus layer. Using fecal microbiota transplant, RNA sequencing followed by machine learning and ex vivo mucus secretion measurements, we determined that antibiotic treatment induces ER stress and inhibits colonic mucus secretion in a microbiota-independent manner. This mucus secretion flaw led to penetration of bacteria into the colonic mucus layer, translocation of microbial antigens into circulation and exacerbation of ulcerations in a mouse model of IBD. Thus, antibiotic use might predispose to development of intestinal inflammation by impeding mucus production.

Project description:A mucus layer covers and protects the intestinal epithelial cells from direct contact with microbes. This mucus layer not only prevents inflammation but also plays an essential role in microbiota colonization, indicating the complex interplay between mucus composition-microbiota and intestinal health. However, it is unknown whether the mucus layer is influenced by age or sex and whether this contributes to reported differences in intestinal diseases in males and females or with ageing. Therefore, in this study we investigated the effect of age on mucus thickness, intestinal microbiota composition and immune composition in relation to sex. The ageing induced shrinkage of the colonic mucus layer was associated with bacterial penetration and direct contact of bacteria with the epithelium in both sexes. Additionally, several genes involved in the biosynthesis of mucus were downregulated in old mice, especially in males, and this was accompanied by a decrease in abundances of various Lactobacillus species and unclassified Clostridiales type IV and XIV and increase in abundance of the potential pathobiont Bacteroides vulgatus. The changes in mucus and microbiota in old mice were associated with enhanced activation of the immune system as illustrated by a higher percentage of effector T cells in old mice. Our data contribute to a better understanding of the interplay between mucus-microbiota-and immune responses and ultimately may lead to more tailored design of strategies to modulate mucus production in targeted groups.

Project description:It has been found that fat oxidation is reduced in the skeletal muscle of obese humans. This study aims to identify the mRNA of proteins involved in fat oxidation that may be reduced in obese and morbidly obese individuals. Information gathered will help in understanding how obesity contributes to cardiovascular disease via insulin resistance. Keywords: other

Project description:Two C57BL/6 mice colonies maintained in two rooms in the same specific pathogen free (SPF) facility were found to have different gut microbiota and a mucus phenotype specific for each colony. The thickness and growth of the colon mucus was similar in the two colonies, but one colony had mucus not penetrable to bacteria or bacterial-sized beads, similar to what occurs in free-living wild mice. On the other hand, the other colony had an inner mucus layer that was penetrable to bacteria and beads. These different properties of the mucus in the two rooms were dependent on the microbiota, as the phenotypes were transmissible by transfer of ceacal microbiota to germ-free mice. Mice with an impenetrable mucus layer had increased amounts of Erysipelotrichi, while mice with a penetrable mucus layer had higher levels of Proteobacteria and TM7 bacteria in the distal colon mucus. Thus bacteria affect mucus barrier properties in ways that can have implications for health and disease.

Project description:Pregnane X receptor (PXR), a xenobiotic receptor involved in drug metabolism, has been reported to regulate lipid and glucose metabolism. The intestine tract is the first inner barrier of the body, which dysfunction contributes to the development of metabolic disorders. However, the role of intestinal PXR in metabolic diseases remains largely unknown. In this study, we showed that activation of PXR by tributyl citrate (TBC), an intestinal-selective agonist of PXR, improved high fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and insulin resistance. The metabolic benefit of intestinal PXR activation was associated with upregulation of β-1,3 galactosyltransferase 5 (B3galt5). Our results revealed that B3galt5 is mainly expressed in the intestine and is a direct transcriptional target of PXR. Whole-body and intestine-specific knockout of B3galt5 exacerbated HFD-induced obesity, insulin resistance and inflammation. Mechanistically, B3galt5 is essential to maintain the integrity of intestinal mucus barrier. Ablation of B3galt5 impaired the O-glycosylation of mucin2, destabilized the mucus layer, and increased the permeability of intestinal barrier. Furthermore, B3galt5 deficiency abolished the beneficial effect of intestinal PXR activation on metabolic disorders. Our results suggested the intestinal-selective activation of PXR regulated B3galt5 expression holds an important role in maintaining metabolic homeostasis, making it a potential therapeutic strategy in obesity.

Project description:Obesity alters circulating levels of pituitary hormones that govern hepatic immune-metabolic homeostasis, and dysregulation of which leads to NAFLD. Here, using diet induced obese mouse, we uncovered an blunted unfolded protein response (UPR) but elevated inflammatory signatures in pituitary glands of obese mice. Mechanistically, we demonstrated that the pituitary IRE1alpha-XBP1 UPR branch is essential for protecting against pituitary endocrine defects and NAFLD progression in obesity.
