Project description:The mammalian gut is inhabited by a large and complex microbial community that lives in a mutualistic relationship with its host. Innate and adaptive mucosal defense mechanisms ensure a homeostatic relationship with this commensal microbiota. Secretory antibodies are generated from the active polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR)-mediated transport of IgA and IgM antibodies to the gut lumen and form the first line of adaptive immune defense of the intestinal mucosa. We probed mucosal homeostasis in pIgR knockout (KO) mice, which lack secretory antibodies. We found that in pIgR KO mice, colonic epithelial cells, the cell type most closely in contact with intestinal microbes, differentially expressed (>2-fold change) more than 200 genes compared with wild type mice, and upregulated the expression of anti-microbial peptides in a commensal-dependent manner. Detailed profiling of microbial communities based on 16S rRNA genes revealed differences in the commensal microbiota between pIgR KO and wild type mice. Furthermore, we found that pIgR KO mice showed increased susceptibility to dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis, and that this was driven by their conventional intestinal microbiota. In conclusion, secretory antibodies or the pIgR itself are required to maintain a stable commensal microbiota. In the absence of these humoral effector components, gut homeostasis is disturbed and the outcome of colitis significantly worsened. 4 groups: wild type mice treated with antibiotic (5 replicates), wild type mice left untreated (5 replicates), pIgR KO mice treated with antibiotic (6 replicates), and pIgR KO mice left untreated (6 replicates).

Project description:Commensal bacteria influence host physiology, including immune responses, without invading host tissues. We show that proteins from segmented filamentous bacteria (SFB), which are immunomodulatory commensal microbes, are transferred into intestinal epithelial cells by adhesion-directed endocytosis that is distinct from the clathrin-dependent endocytosis of invasive pathogens. SFB transfer microbial cell wall-associated proteins, including an antigen that stimulates mucosal Th17 cell differentiation, into the cytosol of epithelial cells. Removal of CDC42 activity in vivo led to disruption of endocytosis induced by SFB, decreased epithelial antigen acquisition with consequent loss of immune modulation by SFB-specific CD4 T cells and mucosal Th17 cells. Our findings indicate direct communication between a resident gut microbe and the host and show that intestinal epithelial cells acquire antigens from commensal bacteria for generation of T-cell responses to the resident microbiota.

Project description:The most clinically relevant risk factor for Clostridioides difficile-associated disease (CDAD) is recent antibiotic treatment. Though most broad-spectrum antibiotics significantly disrupt the structure of the gut microbiota, only particular ones increase CDAD risk, suggesting additional factors might increase the risk from certain antibiotics. Here we show that commensal-independent effects of antibiotics collectively prime an in vitro germ-free human gut for CDAD. We found a marked loss of mucosal barrier and immune function with CDAD-associated antibiotic pretreatment distinct from pretreatment with an antibiotic unassociated with CDAD, which did not reduce innate immune or mucosal barrier functions. Importantly, pretreatment with CDAD-associated antibiotics sensitized mucosal barriers to C. difficile toxin activity in primary cell-derived enteroid monolayers. These data implicate commensal-independent host changes in the increased risk of CDAD with specific antibiotics. Our findings are contrary to the previously held belief that antibiotics allow for CDAD solely through disruption of the microbiome. We anticipate this work to suggest potential avenues of research for host-directed treatment and preventive therapies for CDAD, and to impact human tissue culturing protocols.

Project description:Antibiotic resistance is exacerbated by the exchange of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) between microbes from diverse habitats. Plasmids are important ARGs mobile elements and are spread by horizontal gene transfer (HGT). In this study, we demonstrated the presence of multi-resistant plasmids from inhalable particulate matter (PM) and its effect on gene horizontal transfer. Three transferable multi-resistant plasmids were identified from PM in a hospital, using conjugative mating assays and nanopore sequencing. pTAir-3 contained 26 horizontal transfer elements and 10 ARGs. Importantly pTAir-5 harbored carbapenem resistance gene (blaOXA) which shows homology to plasmids from human and pig commensal bacteria, thus indicating that PM is a media for antibiotic resistant plasmid spread. In addition, 125 μg/mL PM2.5 and PM10 significantly increased the conjugative transfer rate by 110% and 30%, respectively, and augmented reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Underlying mechanisms were revealed by identifying the upregulated expressional levels of genes related to ROS, SOS, cell membranes, pilus generation, and transposition via genome-wide RNA sequencing. The study highlights the airborne spread of multi-resistant plasmids and the impact of inhalable PM on the horizontal transfer of antibiotic resistance.

Project description:Commensal microbiota contribute to gut homeostasis and influence mucosal gene expression. We harvested mucosal lining of middle and distal part of the small intestine and colon from germ-free (GF) and gnotobiotic mice monocolonized either with the E.coli strain O6K13 (O) or Nissle 1917 strain (N). The expression profiles of the mucosa samples were compared to the corresponding tissue isolated from conventionally reared mice in order to disclose genes differentially expressed in response to the change in the intestinal microflora composition.

Project description:Although modern clinical practices such as cesarean sections and perinatal antibiotics have improved infant survival, treatment with broad-spectrum antibiotics alters intestinal microbiota and causes dysbiosis. Infants exposed to perinatal antibiotics have an increased likelihood of life-threatening infections, including pneumonia. Here, we investigated how the gut microbiota sculpt pulmonary immune responses, promoting recovery and resolution of infection in newborn rhesus macaques. Early-life antibiotic exposure interrupted the maturation of intestinal commensal bacteria and disrupted the developmental trajectory of the pulmonary immune system, as assessed by single-cell proteomic and transcriptomic analyses. Early-life antibiotic exposure rendered newborn macaques more susceptible to bacterial pneumonia, concurrent with increases in neutrophil senescence and hyperinflammation, broad inflammatory cytokine signaling, and macrophage dysfunction. This pathogenic reprogramming of pulmonary immunity was further reflected by a hyperinflammatory signature in all pulmonary immune cell subsets coupled with a global loss of tissue-protective, homeostatic pathways in the lungs of dysbiotic newborns. Fecal microbiota transfer was associated with partial correction of the broad immune maladaptations and protection against severe pneumonia. These data demonstrate the importance of intestinal microbiota in programming pulmonary immunity and support the idea that gut microbiota promote the balance between pathways driving tissue repair and inflammatory responses associated with clinical recovery from infection in infants. Our results highlight a potential role for microbial transfer for immune support in these at-risk infants.
