RESUMO

The early microbial colonization of the gastrointestinal tract can have long-term impacts on development and health. Keystone species, including Bacteroides spp., are prominent in early life and play crucial roles in maintaining the structure of the intestinal ecosystem. However, the process by which a resilient community is curated during early life remains inadequately understood. Here, we show that a single sialidase, NanH, in Bacteroides fragilis mediates stable occupancy of the intestinal mucosa in early life and regulates a commensal colonization program. This program is triggered by sialylated glycans, including those found in human milk oligosaccharides and intestinal mucus. NanH is required for vertical transmission from dams to pups and promotes B. fragilis dominance during early life. Furthermore, NanH facilitates commensal resilience and recovery after antibiotic treatment in a defined microbial community. Collectively, our study reveals a co-evolutionary mechanism between the host and microbiota mediated through host-derived glycans to promote stable colonization.

RESUMO

Type I interferons (IFNs) exert a broad range of biological effects important in coordinating immune responses, which have classically been studied in the context of pathogen clearance. Yet, whether immunomodulatory bacteria operate through IFN pathways to support intestinal immune tolerance remains elusive. Here, we reveal that the commensal bacterium, Bacteroides fragilis, utilizes canonical antiviral pathways to modulate intestinal dendritic cells (DCs) and regulatory T cell (Treg) responses. Specifically, IFN signaling is required for commensal-induced tolerance as IFNAR1-deficient DCs display blunted IL-10 and IL-27 production in response to B. fragilis. We further establish that IFN-driven IL-27 in DCs is critical in shaping the ensuing Foxp3+ Treg via IL-27Rα signaling. Consistent with these findings, single-cell RNA sequencing of gut Tregs demonstrated that colonization with B. fragilis promotes a distinct IFN gene signature in Foxp3+ Tregs during intestinal inflammation. Altogether, our findings demonstrate a critical role of commensal-mediated immune tolerance via tonic type I IFN signaling.

RESUMO

microbeMASST, a taxonomically informed mass spectrometry (MS) search tool, tackles limited microbial metabolite annotation in untargeted metabolomics experiments. Leveraging a curated database of >60,000 microbial monocultures, users can search known and unknown MS/MS spectra and link them to their respective microbial producers via MS/MS fragmentation patterns. Identification of microbe-derived metabolites and relative producers without a priori knowledge will vastly enhance the understanding of microorganisms' role in ecology and human health.

RESUMO

The early microbial colonization of the gastrointestinal tract can lead to long-term impacts in development and overall human health. Keystone species, including Bacteroides spp ., play a crucial role in maintaining the structure, diversity, and function of the intestinal ecosystem. However, the process by which a defined and resilient community is curated and maintained during early life remains inadequately understood. Here, we show that a single sialidase, NanH, in Bacteroides fragilis mediates stable occupancy of the intestinal mucosa and regulates the commensal colonization program during the first weeks of life. This program is triggered by sialylated glycans, including those found in human milk oligosaccharides and intestinal mucus. After examining the dynamics between pioneer gut Bacteroides species in the murine gut, we discovered that NanH enables vertical transmission from dams to pups and promotes B. fragilis dominance during early life. Furthermore, we demonstrate that NanH facilitates commensal resilience and recovery after antibiotic treatment in a defined microbial community. Collectively, our study reveals a co-evolutionary mechanism between the host and the microbiota mediated through host-derived glycans to promote stable intestinal colonization.
