Project description:The gastrointestinal tract is colonized by trillions of microorganisms collectively known as the gut microbiota. These microbes provide essential signals to support healthy gut function. The microbiota is separated from internal tissue by a single layer of intestinal epithelial cells that not only provides a physical barrier but also relays luminal signals to underlying gut immune cells. Altered microbiota composition including loss of anti-inflammatory microbes or outgrowth of mucosa-associated bacteria such as adherent-invasive E. coli (AIEC) are hallmarks of inflammatory disease including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In contrast to their hypothesized role in pathology, we recently identified select AIEC isolates that improve outcomes in mouse colitis models. These AIEC induce macrophage production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 which limits gut inflammation and supports barrier repair. These benefits were lost if the AIEC was unable to attach to epithelial cells. However, the epithelial signaling underlying this protection remained unclear. To understand if intestinal epithelial cells signaled to immune cells after microbial attachment, we utilized human colonic organoid monolayers and found co-culture with a subset of AIEC isolates upregulated immune regulatory genes including CCL2, a macrophage recruiting chemokine. This effect was only observed in undifferenced epithelial cells, indicating epithelial stem cell recognition of microbes leads to macrophage recruitment. In vivo, antibody blockade of CCR2 abrogated the protective effect of AIEC colonization. Using bacterial transcriptome analysis, we identified high flagellin expression in AIEC isolates that activated epithelial signaling, with lost signaling in organoids deficient for TLR5, the receptor for flagellin. Together our findings suggest intestinal epithelial cells recognize microbial signals to coordinate macrophage recruitment that support intestinal repair, protecting from colitis.

Project description:Persistent mucosal inflammation and microbial infection are characteristic of Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS). Though mucosal microbiota dysbiosis is a characteristic feature of other chronic inflammatory diseases, the relationship between sinus microbiota composition and CRS is unknown. Here we demonstrate, using comparative microbiome profiling of a cohort of CRS patients and healthy subjects, that the sinus microbiota of CRS patients exhibit significantly reduced bacterial diversity. Characteristic of this community collapse is the depletion of multiple, phylogenetically distinct, Lactic Acid Bacteria and the concomitant increase in relative abundance of a single species, Corynebacterium tuberculostearicum. Recapitulating the conditions observed in our human cohort in a murine model confirmed the pathogenic potential of C. tuberculostearicum and the critical necessity for a replete mucosal microbiota to protect against this species. Moreover, we provide evidence that Lactobacillus sakei, identified from our comparative microbiome analyses as a potentially protective species, affords defense against C. tuberculostearicum sinus infection, even in the context of a depleted sinus bacterial community. These studies demonstrate that sinus mucosal health is highly dependent on the composition of the resident microbiota, and identifies a new sino-pathogen and a strong bacterial candidate for therapeutic intervention. A total of 14 samples were profiled for microbiome composition: 7 from non-sinusitis patients, and 7 from patients with clinically diagnosed chronic sinusitis.

Project description:Studying host-microbiota interactions is fundamental to understand mechanisms involved in intestinal inflammation and inflammatory bowel diseases. In this work, we studied these interactions in mice mono-associated with 4 bacteria and 2 yeasts, all representative of intestinal microbiota and/or associated with IBD pathogenesis: Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, adhesive-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC), Ruminococcus gnavus, Roseburia intestinalis, Saccharomyces boulardii and Candida albicans. Transcriptomics analyses showed that B. thetaiotaomicron had the highest immunological effect, being able to almost recapitulate the effects of a whole microbiota, and particularly induced Treg pathways. Furthermore, this analysis also pointed out the effects of E. coli AIEC LF82 on IDO activation and of S. boulardii on angiogenesis, as well as major effects of R. gnavus on metabolism. This work therefore reveals information on the role of each micro-organism and proposes several tracks to follow to better understand IBD pathogenesis and identify therapeutic targets 6 mono-associations + 2 controls (germ-free and conventionalized mice), with 5 to 7 mice per group.

Project description:Microarrays were used to analyze the gene expression in endoscopic-derived intestinal mucosal biopsies from patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and controls Mucosal biopsies were obtained at endoscopy from the colon of 97 ulcerative colitis (UC), 8 Crohn's disease (CD) patients and 11 controls. The biopsies were taken at the most affected sites but at a distance of ulcerations. Disease activity was endoscopically assessed. Total RNA extracted from mucosal biopsies was used to analyze mRNA expression via Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0 ST arrays

Project description:Management of terminal ileal Crohn's disease (CD) is difficult due to fibrotic prognosis and failure to achieve mucosal healing. A limited number of synchronous analyses have been conducted on the transcriptome and microbiome in unpaired terminal ileum tissues. Therefore, our study focused on the transcriptome and mucosal microbiome in terminal ileal tissues of CD patients with the aim of determining the role of cross-talk between the microbiome and transcriptome in the pathogenesis of terminal ileal CD. Mucosa-attached microbial communities were significantly associated with segmental inflammation status. Interaction-related transcription factors (TFs) are the panel nodes for crosstalk between the gene patterns and microbiome for terminal ileal CD. The transcriptome and microbiome in terminal ileal CD can be different related to local inflammatory status, and specific differentially expressed genes (DEGs) may be targeted for mucosal healing. TFs connect gene patterns with the microbiome by reflecting environmental stimuli and signals from microbiota.
