Abstract (V体育ios版)

The resident prokaryotic microbiota of the metazoan gut elicits profound effects on the growth and development of the intestine. However, the molecular mechanisms of symbiotic prokaryotic-eukaryotic cross-talk in the gut are largely unknown VSports手机版. It is increasingly recognized that physiologically generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) function as signalling secondary messengers that influence cellular proliferation and differentiation in a variety of biological systems. Here, we report that commensal bacteria, particularly members of the genus Lactobacillus, can stimulate NADPH oxidase 1 (Nox1)-dependent ROS generation and consequent cellular proliferation in intestinal stem cells upon initial ingestion into the murine or Drosophila intestine. Our data identify and highlight a highly conserved mechanism that symbiotic microorganisms utilize in eukaryotic growth and development. Additionally, the work suggests that specific redox-mediated functions may be assigned to specific bacterial taxa and may contribute to the identification of microbes with probiotic potential. .

Ingestion of Lactobacillus plantarum by first-instar Drosophila larvae induces cellular ROS generation. Detection of ROS generation following the ingestion of indicated bacteria by germ-free newly emerged gstD1-gfp first-instar larvae for 30 min with the indicated Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria isolated from Drosophila midguts (Supplementary Table S1). Germ-free gstD1-gfp embryos were placed in a vial containing sterilized Drosophila growth media inoculated with 1 × 108 cfu of the indicated bacteria. ROS were detected by oxidation of the hydrocyanin ROS-sensitive dye (upper panels), that is present in the larval food. Larvae used also harbour an ROS inducible gstD1-gfp reporter gene (green lower panels). (A′) Cartoon of first-instar midgut. Enterocyte (EC), intestinal stem cell (ISC), luminal contents (LCs). (A″) Tissue orientation control by staining of first-instar midgut stained for DNA. (A′′′) Exploded view of the interface between the ECs and the LC in larvae fed L. plantarum. Numbers of bacteria ingested by larva were quantified and results are presented in Materials and methods.

(C) ROS generation in the third-instar midgut following the ingestion of L. plantarum, Bacillus cereus or Erwinia carotovora for up to 4 h. (D) Densitometric analysis of larval midguts described in (C). Results are an average for 5 dissected midguts from each assay. (E) ROS generation in the gstD1-gfp adult Drosophila midgut following the ingestion of L. plantarum, or Erwinia carotovora-GFP for up to 4 h. Note Hydro-Cy3 fluorescence and expression of GFP in enterocytes following the L. plantarum ingestion. Also note GFP fluorescence detected in the midgut following the ingestion of E. carotovora-GFP. (F) ROS generation following the ingestion of L. plantarum in adult Drosophila midguts of the indicated genotypes for 1 h. (G) Densitometric analysis of larval midguts described in (F). Results are an average for five dissected midguts from each assay. All histograms report densitometric analysis (arbitrary units) of hydro-Cy3 oxidation, using the ImageJ software. Ten identically sized areas within an image were measured. n=50. **P<0.01, ***P<0.0001.

Contact of cultured cells with lactobacilli induces the generation of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). (A) Bacterial-induced ROS in cells contacted by the indicated bacteria for up to 40 min. Caco-2 cells seeded in a 96-well format were preloaded with 100 μM hydro-Cy3, then contacted with 3 × 108/100 μl viable bacteria for the indicated times. Cells were then washed three times with PBS before fluoromometric analysis at 575 nm. (B) Bacterial-induced ROS in cells treated as described in (A) detected by confocal microscopy at 585 nm. In some experiments, 5 mM TEMPOL (a membrane-permeable oxygen radical scavenger) was also included. (C) ROS generation in response to contact of Caco-2 cells as described in (A) by the cecal contents of a conventionally raised BL6, or of germ-free BL6 mice. ROS was detected by fluoromometric analysis at 575 nm.
