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:We have previously demonstrated that the gut microbiota can play a role in the pathogenesis of conditions associated with exposure to environmental pollutants. It is well accepted that diets high in fermentable fibers such as inulin can beneficially modulate the gut microbiota and lessen the severity of pro-inflammatory diseases. Therefore, we aimed to test the hypothesis that hyperlipidemic mice fed a diet enriched with inulin would be protected from the pro-inflammatory toxic effects of PCB 126.

Project description:Mass developments of toxin-producing cyanobacteria are frequently observed in freshwater ecosystems due to eutrophication and global warming. These mass developments can partly be attributed to cyanobacterial toxins, such as protease inhibitors (PIs), which inhibit digestive serine proteases of Daphnia, the major herbivore of phytoplankton and cyanobacteria. To date, mechanisms of this inhibition in the gut of the crustacean Daphnia magna are not known. Here, we characterize a single serine protease, chymotrypsin 448 (CT448), which is present in the gut of the crustacean D. magna.

Project description:The gut microbiota promotes immune system development in early life, but the interactions between the gut metabolome and immune cells in the neonatal gut remains largely undefined. Here, we demonstrate that the neonatal gut is uniquely enriched with neurotransmitters, including serotonin; specific gut bacteria produce serotonin directly while downregulating monoamine oxidase A to limit serotonin breakdown. Serotonin directly signals to T cells to increase intracellular indole-3-acetaldehdye to inhibit mTOR activation and thereby promotes the differentiation of regulatory T cells, both ex vivo and in vivo in the neonatal intestine. Oral gavage of serotonin into neonatal mice leads to long-term T cell-mediated antigen-specific immune tolerance towards both dietary antigens and commensal bacteria. Together, our study has uncovered an important role for unique gut bacteria to increase serotonin availability in the neonatal gut and a novel function of gut serotonin to shape T cell response to dietary antigens and commensal bacteria to promote immune tolerance in early life.

Project description:Introduction: Chronic sleep fragmentation (SF) is prevalent in contemporary human society, highlighting detrimental effects on glucose metabolism and adipose tissue morphology, which is closely linked to gut microbiota composition. However, it remains unclear whether sleep recovery (SR) after prolonged SF can ameliorate glucose metabolism, influence the transcriptome of inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT), and whether these effects align with alterations in the gut microbiota. Methods: Mice were subjected to 8 weeks of SF and subsequently allowed 2 weeks of SR. We assessed glucose tolerance through intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests (ipGTT), analyzed gut microbiota via 16s rDNA amplicon sequencing, and examined transcriptomic alterations in iWAT using RNA sequencing. Results: Despite the two-week SR following chronic SF, significant glucose intolerance persisted, accompanied by subtle shifts in the gut microbiota and alterations in gene expression within iWAT. The top hub genes Ncapg, Cenpe, and Tik were identified from the protein-protein interaction network. Conclusion: Even followed by a brief period of SR, prolonged SF still led to ongoing glucose intolerance and alterations in the adipose tissue transcriptome in mice. These changes were intertwined with modifications in the gut microbiome. The shifts in gut microbiota may play a pivotal role in understanding the sustained negative effects of SF.
