Mapping of metagenomic sequencing data from murine cecal samples and human stool to bacterial hydrogenases.

(A) Shotgun metagenomic sequencing of mock or dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-treated mice with endogenous Enterobacteriaceae (obtained from Charles River) was previously performed to generate the analyzed dataset (ENA accession number PRJEB15095; Hughes, 2017). Reads were aligned to the HydDB hydrogenase database (Søndergaard et al., 2016) and segregated based on predicted hydrogenase activity. Each symbol corresponds to the average number of normalized reads that map to a specific sequence in the mock or DSS-treated animals (six mice per group). Averages equal to zero were assigned a value of 0.05. (B, C) Analysis of a previously published metagenomic sequencing dataset from stool samples collected from non-inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) controls and patients with Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis (SRA BioProject number PRJNA400072; Franzosa, 2019). Reads from non-IBD controls (55 samples) and patients with Crohn’s disease (87 samples) (B) or ulcerative colitis (76 samples) (C) were aligned to the HydDB hydrogenase database of predicted hydrogenase activities (Søndergaard et al., 2016). Each symbol corresponds to the average number of normalized reads that map to a specific hydrogenase sequence. Averages equal to zero were assigned a value of 0.0005. Medians are labeled with a red solid line, and error bars correspond to interquartile ranges. Statistical significance was determined by Bonferroni-corrected Mann–Whitney U-test (*p<0.05; **p<0.01, ***p<0.001; ns: not statistically significant).

Shotgun metagenomic sequence analysis of the cecal microbiota in the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) colitis model.

Shotgun metagenomic sequencing of mock or DSS-treated mice with endogenous Enterobacteriaceae (from Charles River) was previously performed to generate the dataset used for analysis in this figure (ENA accession number PRJEB15095; Hughes, 2017). Reads were assigned to functional categories based on the SEED algorithm (MEGAN5). Spuriously assigned reads (one read only present in one sample) were removed from this representation. The size of the circle charts is proportional to the number of reads. Each slice of the circle charts represents one animal, with mock-treated animals in yellow and DSS-treated animals in blue.

Hydrogenases provide a competitive fitness advantage for E. coli during acute colitis.

(A) Schematic representation of the hydrogenase-1 and hydrogenase-2 encoding gene loci in E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) and MP1. The DNA regions that were removed from the Δhya and Δhyb mutants in EcN and MP1 are indicated in black (EcN) and brown (MP1), respectively. (B–D) Groups of wild-type (WT) male (C, D) and female (D) C57BL/6 mice devoid of native Enterobacteriaceae were treated with 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in the drinking water. Mice were orally inoculated with a 1:1 ratio of the WT strain and an isogenic Δhya Δhyb mutant on day 4 of DSS treatment. (B) Schematic representation of the colitis model. (C, D) Intestinal content was collected on day 9 to determine the abundance of the EcN (C) or MP1 (D) WT strain (black bars) or isogenic Δhya Δhyb mutant (gray bars). The competitive index (CI) is indicated above each set of bars. Each symbol corresponds to one mouse. Bars represent geometric means ± 95% confidence intervals. Statistical significance was determined by paired Student’s t-test of the log-transformed data (**p<0.01; ***p<0.001). See also Figure 2—figure supplement 1 and 2.

Data points correspond to averages ± standard deviation of three biological replicates. (B, C) Mucin broth alone or supplemented with the electron acceptors fumarate (25 mM) or nitrate (40 mM) was inoculated with an equal mixture of the indicated EcN strains. Cultures were incubated anaerobically, in the presence of 5% H2, for 18 hr, and the competitive index was determined. Each symbol corresponds to a biological replicate. Bars represent geometric means ± 95% confidence intervals. Statistical significance was determined for each set of competition experiments using ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons test of the log-transformed data (**p<0.01, ***p<0.001; ns: not statistically significant).

(A, B) Wild-type (WT) male C57BL/6 mice received 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in the drinking water to induce colitis. On day 4 of DSS treatment, mice were orally inoculated with a 1:1 ratio of WT E. coli MP1 carrying the pWSK129 plasmid (Kanr) or the pWSK29 (Ampr/Carbr) plasmid. After 5 days of colonization, mice were euthanized. (A) Mouse body weights. Data points represent geometric means ± standard error.

The competitive index (CI) is displayed above each set of bars. Each symbol corresponds to one mouse. Bars represent geometric means ± 95% confidence intervals. Statistical significance was determined by paired Student’s t-test of the log-transformed data (ns: not statistically significant). (C, D) Mouse body weights were measured for the experiments described in Figure 2C and D. Briefly, groups of WT C57BL/6 mice were treated with 3% DSS in the drinking water and orally inoculated with a 1:1 ratio of the WT strain and an isogenic Δhya Δhyb mutant. Mice were colonized with E. coli Nissle 1917 (EcN) strains (C) or with MP1 strains (D). Data points represent geometric means ± standard error.

Expression of pro-inflammatory markers in time-course experiment.

For the experiment described in Figure 5, mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory markers in cecal and colonic tissue were determined by RT-qPCR. Levels of Cxcl1 (KC), TNF-α, and iNOS, encoded by Cxcl1 (A), Tnfa (B), and Nos2 (C), respectively, were determined. Briefly, groups of wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 mice were orally inoculated with a 1:1 ratio of the E. coli MP1 WT strain and the isogenic Δhya Δhyb mutant and treated with 3% dextran sulfate sodium in the drinking water. Tissue samples were collected from euthanized mice 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 days post inoculation. Tissue samples from untreated healthy WT male (N = 2) and female (N = 2) C57BL/6 mice were also collected and analyzed (mock). Samples lacking detectable transcripts were excluded from analysis. Each symbol corresponds to one mouse. Bars represent geometric means ± 95% confidence intervals. Statistical significance was determined by a one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s multiple comparisons (*p<0.05; **p<0.01; ***p<0.001).

Each symbol corresponds to one mouse. Bars represent geometric means ± 95% confidence intervals. Statistical significance was determined by paired Student’s t-test of the log-transformed data (**p<0.01; ***p<0.001).

Graphical representation of findings.

During inflammation, E. coli couples oxidation of molecular hydrogen via hydrogenase-1 (Hyd-1) and hydrogenase-2 (Hyd-2) to the reduction of oxygen, nitrate, and fumarate. Inflammatory reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) leaking into the gut lumen allow for AppBCX (App)-mediated oxygen respiration and nitrate respiration (NR). Frd: fumarate reductase.
