Project description:Studies have indicated that the ethanol exposure impairs the gut microbiota, At the same time, high levels of alcohol exposure damage sperm in mice. However, whether the gut microbiota is involved in mediating the effects of alcohol on sperm quality remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the effect of chronic alcohol consumption on intestinal microbiota in mice and analyze the potential pathophysiological effect of altered intestinal microbiota on sperm quality. We established a mouse model of chronic alcohol consumption by allowing male C57 mice to freely ingest 10% ethanol for 10 weeks, and collected the fecal microbiota of the male mice in the chronic drinking group (alcohol) and the control group (control) and transplanted the specimens into the transplant groups (the alcohol-fecal microbiota transplantation [FMT] group and the control-FMT group). Sperm quality was significantly decreased in the alcohol-FMT group compared with the control-FMT group. Gut microbiota analysis revealed that the abundance of 11 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) was altered in the alcohol-FMT group. Nontargeted metabolomics identified 105 differentially altered metabolites, which were mainly annotated to amino acids, lipids, glycerophosphoethanolamine, organic oxygenic compounds, organic acids and their derivatives, steroids, and flavonoids. In particular, the oxidative phosphorylation pathway, which is the key to spermatogenesis, was significantly enriched in the alcohol-FMT group. Moreover, compared with the control-FMT group, the alcohol-FMT group presented significantly higher serum endotoxin and inflammatory cytokine levels, with more pronounced T cell and macrophage infiltration in the intestinal lamina propria and elevated levels of testicular inflammatory cytokines. In addition, RNA sequencing showed significant differences in the expression of testis-related genes between the alcohol-FMT group and the control-FMT group. In particular, the expression of genes involved in gamete meiosis, testicular mitochondrial function, and the cell division cycle was significantly reduced in alcohol-FMT mice. In conclusion, these findings indicated that intestinal dysbiosis induced by chronic alcohol consumption may be an important factor contributing to impaired sperm quality. Chronic alcohol consumption induces intestinal dysbiosis, which then leads to metabolic disorders, elevated serum endotoxin and inflammatory cytokine levels, testicular inflammation, abnormal expression of related genes, and ultimately, impaired sperm quality. These findings are potentially useful for the treatment of male infertility.

Project description:DNA methylation profile of mouse sperm from conventionally-raised mice and gut dysbiosis experienced mice were characterized using whole-genome bisulfite sequencing. Genome-wide DNA methylation changes between control and dysbiotic male�s sperm were highly comparable, with no change in DNAme globally or at genomic features, only 21 differentially methylated regions (DMR) were identified, which did not overlap known regulatory elements. Epididymal sperm samples were harvested from 11 weeks old inbred male mice that were experiencing gut microbiota dysbiosis for 6-week (antibiotics treated, n=5), or drink sterilized water (control, n=5).

Project description:Gut dysbiosis is closely involved in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, it remains unclear whether IBD-associated gut dysbiosis plays a primary role in disease manifestation or is merely secondary to intestinal inflammation. Here, we established a humanized gnotobiotic (hGB) mouse system to assess the functional role of gut dysbiosis associated with two types of IBD - Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). In order to explore the functional impact of dysbiotic microbiota in IBD patients on host immune responses, we analyzed gene expression profiles in colonic mucosa of hGB mice colonized with healty (HC), CD, and UC microbiota.

Project description:Gut microbiota and their metabolites influence host gene expression and physiological status through diverse mechanisms. Here we investigate how gut microbiota and their metabolites impact host′s mRNA m6A epitranscriptome in various antibiotic-induced microbiota dysbiosis models. With multi-omics analysis, we find that the imbalance of gut microbiota can rewire host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic profiles in brain, liver and intestine. We further explore the underlying mechanisms regulating host mRNA m6A methylome by depleting the microbiota with ampicillin. Metabolomic profiling shows that cholic acids are the main down-regulated metabolites with Firmicutes as the most significantly reduced genus in ampicillin-treated mice comparing to untreated mice. Fecal microbiota transplantations in germ-free mice and metabolites supplementations in cells verify that cholic acids are associated with host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic rewiring. Collectively, this study employs an integrative multi-omics analysis to demonstrate the impact of gut microbiota dysbiosis on host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic landscape via cholic acid metabolism.

Project description:CD4+ and CD8+ T cells can reciprocally differentiate into Th/Tc1, Th/Tc17 and Th/Tc22. Although alloreactive Th/Tc1 cells play a critical role in initiating pathogenesis of gut acute graft-versus-host disease (Gut-aGVHD), the pathogenic T cells in steroid-resistant Gut-aGVHD (SR-Gut-aGVHD) remains unclear. Here, we show that in murine models of SR-Gut-aGVHD, the pathogenesis is associated with reduction of IFN-g+ Th/Tc1 and IL-17A+IL-22- Th/Tc17 but expansion of IL-17-IL-22+ Th/Tc22, particularly Tc22 cells. IL-22 from Th/Tc22 cells causes dysbiosis. Using a Gut-aGVHD model induced by alloreactive IFN-g-/- CD8+ T cells, we show that the Gut-aGVHD pathogenesis requires both dysbiosis and depletion of CX3CR1hi mononuclear phagocytes (MNP) that regulate intestinal bacterial translocation. Absence of IFN-g leads to preferential expansion of Tc22 that induce dysbiosis by augmenting RegIIIg production, and depletion of CX3CR1hi MNP via its PD-1 interaction with tissue PD-L1. Interestingly, SR-Gut-aGVHD is also associated with depletion of CX3CR1hi MNP that reduces expansion of Tc22 under steroid treatment. Our studies indicate that expansion of Th/Tc22, dysbiosis, and depletion of CX3CR1hi MNP cells play critical roles in SR-Gut-aGVHD pathogenesis. These results provide new avenue towards studies in patients and call for caution in clinical testing of IL-22 agonists or IFN-g antagonist in patients.

Project description:The etiology of alcohol dependence is not completely understood. Increasing evidence reveals that gut microbiota dysbiosis is associated with certain psychiatric disorders, including alcoholism, through the 'microbiota-gut-brain' axis. The aims were to evaluate the effect of alcohol abuse on the gut microbiota, intestinal permeability and serum metabolic profile and to determine whether alcohol-induced alterations in gut microbiota are correlated with gut permeability and serum metabolic phenotype changes. 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing and nontarget metabolomics techniques were applied in an alcohol-dependent rat model in the present study. The results showed that alcohol intake altered the composition and structure of the colonic microbiota, especially the relative abundance of the commensal microbes <i>Lachnospiraceae</i> and <i>Prevotellaceae</i>, which was significantly decreased. Alcohol-dependent rats developed gut leakiness and a serum metabolic phenotype disorder. The valine, leucine and isoleucine biosynthesis pathways and arginine and proline metabolism pathways were obviously influenced by alcohol intake. Moreover, alcohol consumption disturbed the brain's neurotransmitter homeostasis. The regression analysis showed that alcohol-induced colonic microbiota dysbiosis was strongly associated with increased intestinal permeability and serum metabolic phenotype and neurotransmitter disorders. These results revealed that gut microbiota dysbiosis and serum metabolites alteration might be a cofactor for developing of alcohol dependence. <b>IMPORTANCE</b> The gut microbiota dysbiosis is associated with certain psychiatric disorders through the 'microbiota-gut-brain' axis. Here we revealed that alcohol consumption induced the colonic microbiota dysbiosis, increased intestinal permeability, altered the serum metabolic phenotype in rats, and there were a strong correlation between gut microbiota dysbiosis and serum metabolites disorders. Thus, gut microbiota dysbiosis and serum metabolites alteration may be a cofactor for development of alcohol dependence.

Project description:Morphine and its pharmacological derivatives are the most prescribed analgesics for moderate to severe pain management. However, chronic use of morphine reduces pathogen clearance and induces bacterial translocation across the gut barrier. The enteric microbiome has been shown to play a critical role in the preservation of the mucosal barrier function and metabolic homeostasis. Here, we show for the first time, using bacterial 16s rDNA sequencing, that chronic morphine treatment significantly alters the gut microbial composition and induces preferential expansion of the gram-positive pathogenic and reduction of bile-deconjugating bacterial strains. A significant reduction in both primary and secondary bile acid levels was seen in the gut, but not in the liver with morphine treatment. Morphine induced microbial dysbiosis and gut barrier disruption was rescued by transplanting placebo-treated microbiota into morphine-treated animals, indicating that microbiome modulation could be exploited as a therapeutic strategy for patients using morphine for pain management. In this study, we establish a link between the two phenomena, namely gut barrier compromise and dysregulated bile acid metabolism. We show for the first time that morphine fosters significant gut microbial dysbiosis and disrupts cholesterol/bile acid metabolism. Changes in the gut microbial composition is strongly correlated to disruption in host inflammatory homeostasis13,14 and in many diseases (e.g. cancer/HIV infection), persistent inflammation is known to aid and promote the progression of the primary morbidity. We show here that chronic morphine, gut microbial dysbiosis, disruption of cholesterol/bile acid metabolism and gut inflammation; have a linear correlation. This opens up the prospect of devising minimally invasive adjunct treatment strategies involving microbiome and bile acid modulation and thus bringing down morphine-mediated inflammation in the host.

Project description:Tissue samples harvested from conventionally-raised sire and their offspring or dysbiotic sire and their offspring were profiled for transcriptome changes using total RNA sequencing. Total RNA was extracted from four different tissue types: sire testis, F1 placenta (at E13.5 & E18.5), and F1 brain and brown adipose tissue (at postnatal day P17).Testis were harvested from 11-weeks inbred male mice that were experiencing gut microbiota dysbiosis for 6-week (antibiotics treated, n=5), or drink sterilized water (control, n=5). While, F1 offspring samples were collected from three independent matings per group and two offspring samples per litter.
