The Mouse Microbiome Is Required for Sex-Specific Diurnal Rhythms of Gene Expression and Metabolism.

Cell metabolism | 2019

The circadian clock and associated feeding rhythms have a profound impact on metabolism and the gut microbiome. To what extent microbiota reciprocally affect daily rhythms of physiology in the host remains elusive. Here, we analyzed transcriptome and metabolome profiles of male and female germ-free mice. While mRNA expression of circadian clock genes revealed subtle changes in liver, intestine, and white adipose tissue, germ-free mice showed considerably altered expression of genes associated with rhythmic physiology. Strikingly, the absence of the microbiome attenuated liver sexual dimorphism and sex-specific rhythmicity. The resulting feminization of male and masculinization of female germ-free animals is likely caused by altered sexual development and growth hormone secretion, associated with differential activation of xenobiotic receptors. This defines a novel mechanism by which the microbiome regulates host metabolism.

SwissRegulon (tool)

RRID:SCR_005333

A database of genome-wide annotations of regulatory sites. The predictions are based on Bayesian probabilistic analysis of a combination of input information including: * Experimentally determined binding sites reported in the literature. * Known sequence-specificities of transcription factors. * ChIP-chip and ChIP-seq data. * Alignments of orthologous non-coding regions. Predictions were made using the PhyloGibbs, MotEvo, IRUS and ISMARA algorithms developed in their group, depending on the data available for each organism. Annotations can be viewed in a Gbrowse genome browser and can also be downloaded in flat file format.

Enrichr (software resource)

RRID:SCR_001575

A web-based gene list enrichment analysis tool that provides various types of visualization summaries of collective functions of gene lists. It includes new gene-set libraries, an alternative approach to rank enriched terms, and various interactive visualization approaches to display enrichment results using the JavaScript library, Data Driven Documents (D3). The software can also be embedded into any tool that performs gene list analysis. System-wide profiling of genes and proteins in mammalian cells produce lists of differentially expressed genes / proteins that need to be further analyzed for their collective functions in order to extract new knowledge. Once unbiased lists of genes or proteins are generated from such experiments, these lists are used as input for computing enrichment with existing lists created from prior knowledge organized into gene-set libraries.
