Project Title:Microbial depletion and ozone exposure
Project Summary:Ozone is an asthma trigger. In mice, the gut microbiome contributes to ozone-induced airway hyperresponsiveness, a defining feature of asthma. The purpose of this study was to identify metabolites that could be mediating this role. Gut bacterial enzymes modify ingested substances producing metabolites that enter the blood and circulate to host tissues where they may exert a variety of effects. Therefore, we performed global metabolomic profiling on serum of mice after acute ozone exposure. To identify the role of the microbiome in mediating ozone-induced metabolomic changes, mice were treated for two weeks with a cocktail of antibiotics in the drinking water or with control water and then exposed to air or ozone (2 ppm for 3 hours). Twenty four hours later, blood was harvested and serum analyzed via liquid-chromatography or gas-chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. We observed marked effects of both ozone exposure and antibiotics on the serum metabolome. Known bacterially-derived metabolites were reduced in antibiotic-treated mice. Importantly, our data also indicated that ozone-induced changes in serum lipids, including long chain fatty acids and bile acids, as well as ozone-induced changes in polyamines were different in control and antibiotic-treated mice. Each of these metabolites has the capacity to alter airway responsiveness and may account for the role of the microbiome in pulmonary responses to ozone.
