Project description:Gut microbiota is an unignored target in maintaining intestinal homeostasis due to its regulatory effects on intestinal health through multiple mechanisms, including enhancing intestinal barriers, modulating microbial diversity, secreting various metabolites, etc. Bacteriocins produced by probiotics have been gradually proved vital for intestinal diseases intervention, however, the corresponding mechanisms have received less attention and the whole story of their regulative activities are hard to be fully uncovered. The two-peptide Plantaricin NC8 (PLNC8), coded by gene plnc8, is a bacteriocin ubiquitously produced by Lactobacillus plantarum, has been regarded as the potential vital bacteriocin for the anti-inflammatory effects of Lactobacillus plantarum. This study exploited CRISPR-cas9 and prokaryotic gene overexpression techniques to construct the plnc8 strains for the anti-inflammatory mechanism investigation. Based on the metagenomics, transcriptomics and metabolomics analysis, the anti-enteritis mechanism of PLNC8 systematically in DSS-induced enteritis models were comprehensively revealed. PLNC8 induced alterations in the composition of gut microbiota composition, promoting the alterations of multiple probiotics such as Eubacterium plexicaudatum, Doreasp.5-2, Enterococcus cecorum and Prevotella oulorum. Besides, various metabolites produced by the gut microbiota were influenced, and the key metabolites of xanthine, hypoxanthine, and L-histidine were regulated via purine and histidine metabolic pathways. These metabolites further inhibited p38 MAPK phosphorylation of enterocytes induced by DSS. Ultimately, the intestinal barrier repairment and anti- enteritis were achieved, proving the anti-enteritis effects of PLNC8 via microbe-metabolites-enterocyte axis.

Project description:Abstract. Background: The cause of ulcerative colitis (UC) is not yet fully understood. Previous research has pointed towards a potential role for mutations in NOD2 in promoting the onset and progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by altering the microbiota of the gut. However, the relationship between toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and gut microbiota in IBD is not well understood. To shed light on this, the interaction between TLR4 and gut microbiota was studied using a mouse model of IBD. Methods: To examine the function of TLR4 signaling in intestinal injury repair, researchers developed Dextran Sulfate Sodium Salt (DSS)-induced colitis and injury models in both wild-type (WT) mice and TLR4 knockout (TLR4-KO) mice. To assess changes in the gut microbiota, 16S rRNA sequencing was conducted on fecal samples from both the TLR4-KO and WT enteritis mouse models. Results: The data obtained depicted a protective function of TLR4 against DSS-induced colitis. The gut microbiota composition was found to vary considerably between the WT and TLR4-KO mice groups as indicated by β-diversity analysis and operational taxonomic units (OTUs) cluster. Statistical analysis of microbial multivariate variables depicted an elevated abundance of Escherichia coli/Shigella, Gammaproteobacteria, Tenerlcutes, Deferribacteres, Enterobacteria, Rikenellaceae, and Proteobacteria in the gut microbiota of TLR4-KO mice, whereas there was a considerable reduction in Bacteroidetes at five different levels of the phylogenetic hierarchy including phylum, class, order, family, and genus in comparison with the WT control. Conclusion: TLR4 may protect intestinal epithelial cells from damage in response to DSS-induced injury by controlling the microbiota in the gut.
