Carnobacterium maltaromaticum was found to be specifically depleted in female patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). Administration of C. maltaromaticum reduces intestinal tumor formation in two murine CRC models in a female-specific manner. Estrogen increases the attachment and colonization of C. maltaromaticum via increasing the colonic expression of SLC3A2 that binds to DD-CPase of this bacterium. Metabolomic and transcriptomic profiling unveils the increased gut abundance of vitamin D-related metabolites and the mucosal activation of vitamin D receptor (VDR) signaling in C. maltaromaticum-gavaged mice in a gut microbiome- and VDR-dependent manner. In vitro fermentation system confirms the metabolic cross-feeding of C. maltaromaticum with Faecalibacterium prausnitzii to convert C. maltaromaticum-produced 7-dehydrocholesterol into vitamin D for activating the host VDR signaling. Overall, C. maltaromaticum colonizes the gut in an estrogen-dependent manner and acts along with other microbes to augment the intestinal vitamin D production to activate the host VDR for suppressing CRC.
发现迟缓真杆菌在女性结直肠癌(CRC)患者中特异性缺失。迟缓真杆菌的给药以雌性特异性方式减少了两种小鼠 CRC 模型中的肠道肿瘤形成。雌激素通过增加与该细菌的 DD-CPase 结合的 SLC3A2 在结肠中的表达,增加迟缓真杆菌的附着和定植。代谢组学和转录组学分析揭示了在肠道微生物组和 VDR 依赖性方式下,迟缓真杆菌灌胃小鼠中与维生素 D 相关的代谢物的肠道丰度增加和维生素 D 受体(VDR)信号的粘膜激活。体外发酵系统证实了迟缓真杆菌与粪肠球菌的代谢交叉喂养,将迟缓真杆菌产生的 7-脱氢胆固醇转化为维生素 D,以激活宿主 VDR 信号。总体而言,迟缓真杆菌以雌激素依赖性方式定植于肠道,并与其他微生物一起作用,增加肠道维生素 D 的产生,以激活宿主 VDR 抑制 CRC。
