Project description:This study examines the role of early exposure to gut microbes and poor diet on microglial function in mice. Groups = control (CON), malnourished (MAL), and malnourished + microbial exposure (E/MALBG). CD11b+ cells (microglial enrichment) were isolated from whole mouse brains (Adult Brain Disruption Kit, Miltenyi Biotec). After sample quality control (Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer), qualifying samples were sent for RNA-Seq (Illumina NextSeq 500 with Paired End 42bp × 42bp reads; demultiplexed: Illumina's bcl2fastq2). Following alignment against mouse reference genes (STAR aligner), DEG analyses was conducted using the DESeq2 pipeline.

Project description:Fecal-oral contamination promotes malnutrition pathology. Lasting consequences of early life malnutrition include cognitive impairment, but the underlying pathology and influence of gut microbes remain largely unknown. Here, we utilize an established murine model combining malnutrition and iterative exposure to fecal commensals (MAL-BG). The MAL-BG model was analyzed in comparison to malnourished (MAL mice) and healthy (CON mice) controls. Malnourished mice display poor spatial memory and learning plasticity, as well as altered microglia, non-neuronal CNS cells that regulate neuroimmune responses and brain plasticity. Chronic fecal-oral exposures shaped microglial morphology and transcriptional profile, promoting phagocytic features in MAL-BG mice. Unexpectedly, these changes occurred independently from significant cytokine-induced inflammation or blood-brain barrier (BBB) disruption, key gut-brain pathways. Metabolomic profiling of the MAL-BG cortex revealed altered polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) profiles and systemic lipoxidative stress. In contrast, supplementation with an ω3 PUFA/antioxidant-associated diet (PAO) mitigated cognitive deficits within the MAL-BG model. These findings provide valued insight into the malnourished gut microbiota-brain axis, highlighting PUFA metabolism as a potential therapeutic target.

Project description:The thymus is one of the most affected organs during malnutrition, exhibiting atrophy and thymocyte depletion, characteristics that are also observed in several infectious diseases. The detrimental effects of malnutrition on immune responses to pathogens have long been recognized and it is considered a main risk factor for various infectious diseases, including visceral leishmaniasis (VL). However, the thymus has been barely studied during malnutrition and Leishmania infantum infection association. Protein malnutrition modifies intrathymic communication in L. infantum infected BALB/c mice by altering the abundance of proteins secreted to the thymic interstitial fluid (IF). We identified and compared protein abundance in the thymic IF samples from BALB/c mice that were fed with control protein (14%, CP) or low protein (4%, LP) isocaloric diets, followed by infection with L. infantum. By means of a quantitative proteomics approach using iTRAQ we identified 280 proteins of which 81% were reported as secreted by exosomes and 42% were previously described as secreted by thymic epithelial cells. LP-infected (LPi) animals showed a significant decrease in exosomal proteins, suggesting that exosomal carrier system is dysregulated in malnourished animals. LPi mice also exhibited an increase in the relative abundance of proteins involved in lipid metabolism and tricarboxylic acid cycle, suggestive of a non-proliferative microenvironment. Accordingly, flow cytometry analysis revealed that protein malnutrition decreases the proliferation of single positive and double positive T cells. Proteins engaged in glycolysis, protein ubiquitination and mRNA processing were significantly decreased. In addition, a significant decrease in the abundance of galectin-1 and increase of plasminogen were observed in malnourished animals. Together, the reduced cortical area, decreased proliferation, increased abundance of lipid- and tricarboxylic acid cycle-related proteins, and altered abundance of galectin-1 and plasminogen indicate a dysfunctional thymic microenvironment, where T cell migration, proliferation and maturation are compromised, contributing for the thymic atrophy observed in malnourished animals. All these alterations affect the control of the local and systemic infection, resulting in an impaired response to L. infantum infection.

Project description:Protein malnutrition promotes hepatic steatosis, decreases insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I production, and retards growth. In order to identify new molecules involved in such changes, we conducted DNA microarray analysis for liver samples of rats fed isoenergetic low protein diet for 8 hours, and identified fibroblast growth factor 21 (Fgf21) as one of the most strongly up-regulated genes under conditions of acute protein malnutrition (P<0.05, FDR<0.001). In addition, amino acid deprivation from the culture media increased Fgf21 mRNA levels in rat liver-derived RL-34 cells (P<0.01). Thus, it was suggested that amino acid limitation directly increases Fgf21 expression. FGF21 is a polypeptide hormone that regulates glucose and lipid metabolism. Using transgenic mice, FGF21 has also been shown to promote a growth hormone-resistant state and suppress IGF-I. Therefore, to further determine whether the up-regulation of Fgf21 under protein malnutrition causes hepatic steatosis and growth retardation following decrease in IGF-I, we fed isoenergetic low protein diet to Fgf21-knockout (KO) mice. Fgf21-KO did not rescue growth retardation and reduced plasma IGF-I concentration of mice fed the low-protein diet. Meanwhile, Fgf21-KO mice showed greater epididymal white adipose tissue weight as well as hepatic triglyceride and cholesterol levels under protein malnutrition (P<0.05). Taken together, we showed that protein deprivation directly increases Fgf21 expression. However, growth retardation and decreased IGF-I were not mediated by increased FGF21 expression under protein malnutrition. Furthermore, up-regulated FGF21 rather appears to have a protective effect against obesity and hepatic steatosis in protein malnourished animals. Livers of rats from 2 groups (control (15P) or low-protain (5P) diet fed groups), total of 6 samples (3 replicates for each group) were analyzed.

Project description:Microbes are an integral component of the tumor microenvironment (TME). However, mechanisms that direct microbial recruitment into tumors and the spatial relationship between intratumoral microbes and host cells remain poorly understood. Here, we show that microbes and immune cells have parallel spatial distribution and that the presence of intratumoral microbes is dependent on T cells. Analysis of human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC) and lung adenocarcinomas (LUAD) revealed a spatially heterogeneous distribution of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) that is associated with T cell infiltration. Using mouse models of PDAC, we found that microbes were more abundant and diverse in tumors that were enriched in T cells compared to tumors that lacked T cells, despite no significant differences in the fecal microbiome. Consistent with these findings, we detected elevated levels of microbial genes in T cell-enriched tumor nests in human PDAC. Compared to microbe-poor tumor nests, microbe-enriched tumor nests displayed a higher number of myeloid cells, B cells, and plasma cells. Microbe-enriched tumor nests also showed upregulation of immune-related processes, including responses to bacteria, and receptors that mediate mucosal immune responses to microbes. Administration of antibiotics to tumor-bearing mice altered the phenotype and presence of intratumoral myeloid cells and B cells but did not alter T cell infiltration. In contrast, depletion of T cells reduced the presence of intratumoral microbes. Our results identify a novel coupling between microbes and the intratumoral immune landscape, with T cells shaping microbial presence and subsequent microbial-host interactions.

Project description:A slower transmethylation of one-carbon substrates in the edematous form of severe acute malnutrition (ESAM) suggests that downstream aberrations in DNA methylation could drive differences in acute pathogenesis between ESAM and non-edematous malnutrition (NESAM). Here, we integrate genome-wide assessments of DNA methylation with corresponding gene expression profiles and sequence variation to show that relative to NESAM, acute ESAM is characterized by significant hypomethylation at 99% of differentially methylated loci in two SAM cohorts, whereas recovered adults show no significant differences in methylation. Hypomethylated loci correlate with both up- and down-regulation of proximal genes, which are associated with the clinical sub-phenotypes of kwashiorkor and enriched for GWAS hits linked to over-nutrition, including fatty liver and diabetes. Methylation at these loci also appears to be influenced by nearby genetic variation in a manner that varies with nutritional status. Our findings implicate epigenetic and genetic variation in ESAM pathophysiology and support methyl-group supplementation in ESAM management.
