T1 |
0-145 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Caenorhabditis elegans susceptibility to gut Enterococcus faecalis infection is associated with fat metabolism and epithelial junction integrity. |
T2 |
146-157 |
Sentence |
denotes |
BACKGROUND: |
T3 |
158-297 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Gut bacteria-host interactions have been implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous human diseases, but few mechanisms have been described. |
T4 |
298-526 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The genetically tractable nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans can be infected with pathogenic bacteria, such as the human gut commensal Enterococcus faecalis, via feeding, making it a good model for studying these interactions. |
T5 |
527-535 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
T6 |
536-804 |
Sentence |
denotes |
An RNAi screen of 17 worm candidate genes revealed that knockdown of the transcription factor nhr-49, a master regulator of fat metabolism, shortens worm lifespan upon infection with E. faecalis (and other potentially pathogenic bacteria) compared to Escherichia coli. |
T7 |
805-1006 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The functional similarity of nhr-49 to the mammalian peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) suggests that this is mediated through a link between fatty acid metabolism and innate immunity. |
T8 |
1007-1274 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition, knockdown of either dlg-1 or ajm-1, which encode physically interacting proteins in the C. elegans epithelial junction, also reduces worm lifespan upon E. faecalis challenge, demonstrating the importance of the intestinal epithelium as an immune barrier. |
T9 |
1275-1287 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSIONS: |
T10 |
1288-1582 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The protective roles identified for nhr-49, dlg-1, and ajm-1 suggest mechanistic interactions between the gut microbiota, host fatty acid metabolism, innate immunity, and epithelial junction integrity that are remarkably similar to those implicated in human metabolic and inflammatory diseases. |
