Abstract

Background: Osteosarcopenia, characterized by the simultaneous loss of bone and muscle mass, is a serious health problem in the aging population. This study investigated the interplay between host genetics, gut microbiota, and musculoskeletal health in a mouse model of osteosarcopenia, exploring the therapeutic potential of gut microbiota modulation.

Methods: We examined the effects of Rg3, a phytochemical, on osteosarcopenia and its interactions with host genetics and gut microbiota in six founder strains of the Collaborative Cross (CC) population. Subsequently, we evaluated the therapeutic potential of Eubacterium nodatum (EN) and Eubacterium ventriosum (EV), two gut microbes identified as significant correlates of Rg3-mediated osteosarcopenia improvement, in selected C57BL/6 J (B6) and 129S1/SvImJ (129S1) mouse strains.

Results: Rg3 treatment altered gut microbiota composition aligned with osteosarcopenia phenotypes, which response varied depending on host genetics. This finding enabled the identification of two microbes in the Eubacterium genus, potential mediator of Rg3 effect on osteosarcopenia. Oral administration of EN and EV differentially impacted bone density, muscle mass, exercise performance, and related gene expression in a mouse strain-specific manner. In 129S1 mice, EN and EV significantly improved these parameters, effectively reversing osteosarcopenic phenotypes. Mechanistic investigations revealed that these effects were mediated through the modulation of osteoblast differentiation and protein degradation pathways. In contrast, EN and EV did not significantly improve osteosarcopenic phenotypes in B6 mice, although they did modulate mitochondrial biogenesis and microbial diversity.

Conclusions: Our findings underscore the complex interplay between host genetics and the gut microbiota in osteosarcopenia and emphasize the need for personalized treatment strategies. EN and EV exhibit strain-specific therapeutic effects, suggesting that tailoring microbial interventions to individual genetic backgrounds may be crucial for optimizing treatment outcomes.

期刊介绍： Microbiome is a journal that focuses on studies of microbiomes in humans, animals, plants, and the environment. It covers both natural and manipulated microbiomes, such as those in agriculture. The journal is interested in research that uses meta-omics approaches or novel bioinformatics tools and emphasizes the community/host interaction and structure-function relationship within the microbiome. Studies that go beyond descriptive omics surveys and include experimental or theoretical approaches will be considered for publication. The journal also encourages research that establishes cause and effect relationships and supports proposed microbiome functions. However, studies of individual microbial isolates/species without exploring their impact on the host or the complex microbiome structures and functions will not be considered for publication. Microbiome is indexed in BIOSIS, Current Contents, DOAJ, Embase, MEDLINE, PubMed, PubMed Central, and Science Citations Index Expanded.
