Project description:Approximately 15% of US adults have circulating levels of uric acid above its solubility limit, which is causally linked to the inflammatory disease gout. In most mammals, uric acid elimination is facilitated by the enzyme uricase. However, human uricase is a pseudogene, having been inactivated early in hominid evolution. Though it has long been known that a substantial amount of uric acid is eliminated in the gut, the role of the gut microbiota in hyperuricemia has not been studied. Here we identify a gene cluster, widely distributed in the gut microbiome, that encodes a pathway for uric acid degradation. Stable isotope tracing demonstrates that gut bacteria metabolize uric acid to xanthine or short chain fatty acids such as acetate, lactate and butyrate. Ablation of the microbiota in uricase-deficient mice causes profound hyperuricemia, and anaerobe-targeted antibiotics increase the risk of gout in humans. These data reveal a role for the gut microbiota in uric acid excretion and highlight the potential for microbiome-targeted therapeutics in hyperuricemia.

Project description:Here we exploited a Han Chinese population-based cohort with extensive host metadata established in the Pinggu (PG) district of Beijing, and investigated gut microbiota from 2,338 adults (26-76 years) by metagenomic sequencing, revealing associations of the gut microbiota with sex, sex hormones, age, and a number of clinical and metabolic parameters.

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:Comparison between renal papilla tissue with and without the presence of calcified Randall’s plaques, and between the papilla, medulla, and cortex regions from within a single recurrent stone forming kidney demonstrated that patterns of gene expression between the papilla, medulla, and cortex that distinguished these three regions from one another. Disease and function analysis of these gene sets demonstrated up-regulation of genes related to urinary/renal disorders, granulocyte response, vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, dehydration, and renal calcification and down-regulation of genes related to carboxylic acid/ lipid/ fatty acid transport and urine osmolality.

Project description:Chronic acid suppression by proton pump inhibitor (PPI) has been hypothesized to alter the gut microbiota via a change in intestinal pH. To evaluate the changes in gut microbiota composition by long-term PPI treatment. Twenty-four week old F344 rats were fed with (n = 5) or without (n = 6) lansoprazole (PPI) for 50 weeks. Then, profiles of luminal microbiota in the terminal ileum were analyzed. Pyrosequencing for 16S rRNA gene was performed by genome sequencer FLX (454 Life Sciences/Roche) and analyzed by metagenomic bioinformatics.

Project description:Inflammation plays a crucial role in the development of acute kidney injury (AKI) and subsequent chronic kidney disease (CKD) following renal ischemia-reperfusion (IR). It has been demonstrated that metabolites from the gut microbiota can trigger inflammatory responses and modulate renal damage induced by IR. However, the exact driving factors and underlying mechanisms of this process remain unclear. Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a choline metabolite derived from the gut, has been observed to increase in AKI and CKD patients. Our study reveals that glycyrrhizic acid (GA) exacerbates IR-induced AKI and subsequent CKD through TMAO. To delve into the underlying mechanisms, we employed single-cell sequencing to construct a molecular map of kidney cells.
