Project description:Aging is the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries. The specific molecular mechanisms that drive aging are poorly understood, especially the contribution of the microbiota in these processes. Here, we combined multi-omics with metabolic modeling in mice to comprehensively characterize host–microbiome interactions and how they are affected by aging. Our findings reveal a complex dependency of host metabolism on microbial functions, including previously known as well as novel interactions. We observed a pronounced reduction in metabolic activity within the aging microbiome, which we attribute to reduced beneficial interactions in the microbial community and a reduction in the metabolic output of the microbiome. These microbial changes coincided with a corresponding downregulation of key host pathways predicted by our model that are crucial for maintaining intestinal barrier function, cellular replication, and homeostasis. Our results elucidate potential microbiome–host interactions that may influence host aging processes, focusing on microbial nucleotide metabolism as a pivotal factor in aging dynamics.

Project description:Germ-free (GF) animal models represent a unique tool to study the function and impact of gut microbiota on the host under homeostatic or pathologic conditions. GF animals can be selectively colonized with specific microorganisms of interest or even microbial communities. Therefore, these models are frequently employed to decipher complex interactions between the host and its endogenous commensal microbiota, as well as to study interrelations between microbial species within the specific biotope such as intestine.

Project description:Aging is the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries, yet the molecular mechanisms driving aging and especially the contribution by the microbiome remain unclear. We combined multi-omics with metabolic modeling to comprehensively characterize host–microbiome interactions during aging in mice. Our findings reveal a complex dependency of host metabolism on known and novel microbial interactions. We observed a pronounced reduction in metabolic activity within the aging microbiome accompanied by reduced beneficial interactions between bacterial species. These microbial changes coincided with increased inflammaging as well as a corresponding downregulation of key host pathways, predicted by our model to be microbiome-dependent, that are crucial for maintaining intestinal barrier function, cellular replication, and homeostasis. Our results elucidate microbiome–host interactions that potentially influence host aging processes, focusing on microbial nucleotide metabolism as a pivotal factor in aging dynamics. These pathways could serve as future targets for the development of microbiome-based anti-aging therapies.

Project description:Green hydra (Hydra viridissima) harbors endosymbiotic Chlorella and have established a mutual relation. To identify the host hydra genes involved in the specific symbiotic relationship, transcriptomes of intact H. viridissima colonized with symbiotic Chlorella strain A99, aposymbiotic H.viridissima and H. viridissima artificially infected with other symbiotic Chlorella were compared by microarray analysis. The results indicated that genes involved in nutrition supply to Chlorella were upregulated in the symbiotic hydra. In addition, it was induced by supply of photosynthates from the symbiont to the host, suggesting cooperative metabolic interaction between the host and the symbiotic algae.

Project description:The mammalian gastrointestinal tract harbors a diverse microbiota residing in intimate contact with the host immune system. Though most associations are symbiotic or commensal, some resident bacteria (termed pathobionts) have the potential to induce disease in immunocompromised hosts. Type VI secretion systems (T6SSs) have recently emerged as a novel mechanism for forging microbial-host interactions during infection. We reveal here a unique protective role for the T6SS of Helicobacter hepaticus, a Gram-negative bacterium of the murine intestinal microbiota. The T6SS of H. hepaticus targets effector substrates to intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Mutants in T6SSs display higher intracellular and cell-associated numbers upon incubation with IECs, and exhibit increased bacterial colonization of the gastrointestinal tract compared to wild-type bacteria. The T6SS accordingly directs an anti-inflammatory gene expression profile in IECs co-cultured with H. hepaticus. Remarkably, T6SS mutants induce an exacerbated pro-inflammatory response in an experimental model of colitis. CD4+ T cells isolated from T6SS mutant-colonized animals produce increased T-helper 17 (Th17) cytokines in response to IECs presenting H. hepaticus antigens. These data demonstrate that H. hepaticus intimately interacts with IECs and employs type VI secretion to establish a balanced host relationship by limiting microbial colonization and intestinal inflammation. We propose that altering host-bacterial equilibriums that lead to dysbiosis of the microbiota contributes to human disorders such as inflammatory bowel disease and colon cancer.

Project description:High temperature events can disrupt species interactions, including those among hosts, symbionts, and natural enemies. Understanding the genetic and physiological processes underlying these disruptions is a critical scientific challenge in this era of anthropogenic climate change. We explore how high temperatures disrupt the interactions among an herbivorous insect host, Manduca sexta, its insect parasitoid, Cotesia congregata, and the parasitoid’s symbiotic virus. In this system, high temperatures kill developing parasitoids, but not hosts. We evaluated the physiological and transcriptomic causes of thermal mismatch in ecological interactions using parasitoid egg in vitro experiments, immunological assays, and RNAseq. We found that high temperatures disrupt the capacity of the parasitoid’s symbiotic virus to immunosuppress the host insect, resulting in thermal mismatch and death of the parasitoid. At the transcriptomic level, key viral genes involved in suppressing host immune pathways showed reduced expression, driven by the virus’s circular genomic structure. This work is among the first to demonstrate the genetic and physiological mechanisms by which a symbiont limits the ecological functioning of host-parasite dynamics, and provides a framework for understanding how molecular processes give rise to ecological outcomes in response to high temperature events caused by climate change.

Project description:Kombucha Tea (KT), a fermented tea with roots in traditional Chinese medicine, has surged in worldwide popularity due to its purported health benefits. KT contains a symbiotic culture of yeast and bacterial species, many of which are considered human probiotics. The molecular basis of the health benefits of KT has yet to be thoroughly explored in any animal model. We establishC. elegansas a model to query the molecular interactions between Kombucha-associated microbes (KTM) and the host. We find that worms have an established gut microbiome after consuming a KTM-exclusive diet that mirrors the microbial community found in the fermenting culture. Remarkably, animals consuming KTMs display strikingly reduced lipid levels, yet develop and reproduce similarly toE. coli-fed animals. Critically, consumption of a non-fermenting mix of KT microbial isolates (Kombucha microbe mix) resulted in elevated fat accumulation, suggesting that KTMs do not impair nutrient absorption. To identify the host metabolic pathways altered by KTMs, we performed mRNA-seq on KTM-fed animals, finding widespread changes in lipid metabolism genes. Specifically, we found that three lysosomal lipase genes are significantly upregulated in these animals. These lipases, LIPL-1-3, have been previously shown to promote lipophagy via catabolism of lipid droplets. Consistently, KTM-fed animals display reduced levels of triglycerides and smaller lipid droplet sizes. We propose that KTM-fed animals exhibit a fasting-like metabolic state, even in the presence of sufficient nutrient availability, possibly through induction of lipophagy. Elucidating the host metabolic response to KT consumption will provide unprecedented insight into how this popular fermented beverage may impact human health and inform its use in complementary healthcare plans.
