Project description:D-galactose orally intake ameliorate DNCB-induced atopic dermatitis by modulating microbiota composition and quorum sensing. The increased abundance of bacteroidetes and decreased abundance of firmicutes was confirmed. By D-galactose treatment, Bacteroides population was increased and prevotella, ruminococcus was decreased which is related to atopic dermatitis.

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:The human intestinal microbiota plays an essential role in host health. Modifications in its composition and diversity could induce pathologies such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). These diseases are characterized by an unbalanced intestinal microbiota (a process known as dysbiosis) and an altered immune response. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, the most abundant commensal bacterium in the human intestinal microbiota of healthy individuals (representing more than 5% of the total bacterial population), has been reported to be lower in feces and mucosa-associated microbiota of IBD patients. In addition, we have shown that both F. prausnitzii and its culture supernatant (SN) have anti-inflammatory and protective effects in both acute and chronic colitis models. However, the host molecular mechanisms involved in these anti-inflammatory effects remain unknown. In order to address this issue, we performed DNA chip-based transcriptomic analyses in HT-29 human intestinal epithelial cells stimulated with TNF-a and exposed to F. prausnitzii SN or to BHI (growth medium for F prausnitzii).

Project description:The human intestinal microbiota associated with rats produces in vivo a soluble(s) factor(s) that down-regulates the expression of genes encoding for the Shiga toxin II in E. coli O157:H7. The Shiga toxin II is one of the major virulence factors of E. coli enterohemorragic leading to the deadly hemolitic and uremic syndrome. Investigation of the effect of the human intestinal microbiota on the whole transcriptome of EHEC O157:H7 is of major importance to increase our understanding of the pathogen transcriptomic adaptation in response to the human microbiota. We analysed by microarray hybridization the gene expression pattern of EHEC O157:H7 grown in the caecal content of germ-free rats or rats associated with the human microbiota of a healthy human subject. By doing so, we increased our understanding of the regulatory activities of the human gut microbiota on E. coli O157:H7 A first group of twelve weeks old, male, germfree rats was colonized with the human fecal microbiota and a second group was kept germfree and condidered as a controle group. Rats were fed for two weeks with a sterile human type diet, and were sacrificed. E. coli O157:H7 was cultivated for 6 hours in the caecal content of germfree rats and rats associated with the human intestinal microbiota. RNAs were extracted and cDNAs were synthesized, fragmented and biotinylated before being hybridized on Affymetrix E. coli genome 2.0 arrays. The effect of the human intestinal microbiota was investigated by comparing the gene expression level in the caecal content of rats associated with the human microbiota with their expression level in the caecal content of the germfree rats.

Project description:Commensal microbiota contribute to gut homeostasis and influence gene expression. Intestinal organoid culture closely represent intestinal epithelium and retain intestinal stem cells and dynamic recovery capabilities as well as all major cell types of the intestinal epithelium. We established organoid culture using colon crypts isolated 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 these organoids were compared to the organoid culture isolated from conventionally reared (CR) mice in order to disclose genes differentially expressed in response to the change in the intestinal microflora composition.

Project description:We profiled transcriptome and accessible chromatin landscapes in intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) from mice reared in the presence or absence of microbiota. We show that regional differences in gene transcription along the intestinal tract were accompanied by major alterations in chromatin organization. Surprisingly, we discovered that microbiota modify host gene transcription in IECs without significantly impacting the accessible chromatin landscape. Instead, microbiota regulation of host gene transcription might be achieved by differential expression of specific TFs and enrichment of their binding sites in nucleosome depleted CRRs near target genes. Our results suggest that the chromatin landscape in IECs is pre-programmed by the host in a region-specific manner to permit responses to microbiota through binding of open CRRs by specific TFs. mRNA and accessible chromatin (DNase-seq) profiles from colonic and ileal IECs were compared between conventionally-raised (CR), germ-free (GF), and conventionalized (CV) C57BL/6 mice.

Project description:Humans and their microbiota have coevolved a mutually beneficial relationship, with the human host providing a hospitable environment for the microbes, and the microbiota providing many benefits including nutritional benefits and protection from pathogen infection1. Maintaining this relationship requires careful immune balance to contain commensals within the lumen while limiting inflammatory anti-commensal responses1,2. A number of groups describe T cell antigen-specific recognition of intestinal microbes3,4. While the local environment shapes effector cell differentiation3–5 it is unclear how microbiota-specific T cells are educated in the thymus. Here we identify that early life intestinal colonization leads to trafficking of microbial antigens from the intestine to the thymus by intestinal dendritic cells (DCs) which then expand microbiota-specific T cells. Once in the periphery, microbiota-specific T cells have pathogenic potential, or can protect against related pathogens. In this way, the developing microbiota shapes and expands the thymic and peripheral T cell repertoire, allowing for enhanced recognition of intestinal microbes and pathogens.

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.
