Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Genomics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Interactions within the gut microbiome are crucial for its function.
  • Existing tools for studying these interactions in situ lack resolution and sensitivity.
  • Understanding host-microbial and intermicrobial dynamics is essential for gut health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a high-resolution method for spatial sampling of gut microbiome-host interactions.
  • To enhance the recovery and transcriptomic analysis of bacterial RNA, including low-abundance taxa.
  • To investigate the spatial organization and interactions within the gut microbiome in a disease model.

Main Methods:

  • Enzymatic in situ polyadenylation of bacterial and host RNA.
  • Integration with spatial RNA sequencing for high-resolution transcriptomic analysis.
  • Benchmarking against existing spatial transcriptomic workflows for sensitivity and resolution.

    • Main Results:

    • The developed method achieves 1 µm resolution, significantly improving bacterial RNA recovery.
    • Spatial transcriptomic analysis revealed the gut microbiome's biogeography based on intestinal location.
    • Frequent, short-range intermicrobial interactions and tumor-associated alterations in the host-microbiome interface were observed.

    Conclusions:

    • This novel method provides unprecedented spatial insights into gut microbiome composition and function.
    • It enables detailed study of host-microbe and intermicrobial interactions at the transcriptomic level.
    • The technique is adaptable to commercial platforms, facilitating broader research into microbiome-related health and disease.
