Here, we show that microbiota colonization facilitated by breastmilk feeding promotes NOD-like receptor family CARD domain containing 5 (<em>Nlrc5</em>) gene expression in mouse intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Notably, inducible knockout of the <em>Nlrc5</em> gene in IECs predisposes neonatal mice to NEC-like injury in the small intestine upon viral inflammation in an NK1.1<sup>+</sup> cell-dependent manner. By contrast, formula feeding enhances neonatal gut colonization with environment-derived tilivalline-producing <em>Klebsiella</em> spp. Remarkably, tilivalline disrupts microbiota-activated STAT1 signaling that controls <em>Nlrc5</em> gene expression in IECs through a PPAR-γ-mediated mechanism. Consequently, this dysregulation hinders the resistance of neonatal intestinal epithelium to self-NK1.1<sup>+</sup> cell cytotoxicity upon virus infection/colonization, promoting NEC development. Together, we discover the underappreciated role of intestinal microbiota colonization in shaping a disease tolerance program to viral inflammation and elucidate the mechanisms impacting NEC development in neonates.</p>","PeriodicalId":9693,"journal":{"name":"Cell host & microbe","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":30.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142235384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Network analysis identified modules of correlated microbes in human milk that were associated with subsequent asthma and atopy in preschool-aged children. Moreover, reduced alpha-diversity and increased <em>Lawsonella</em> abundance in HMM were associated with increased prevalence of childhood atopy. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) identified maternal genetic loci (e.g., <em>ADAMTS8</em>, NPR1, and <em>COTL1</em>) associated with HMM implicated with asthma and atopy, notably <em>Lawsonella</em> and alpha-diversity.

To investigate how <em>Salmonella enterica</em> Typhimurium (<em>S</em>.Tm) colonizes the gut, we conducted an <em>in vivo</em> transposon mutagenesis screen in a gnotobiotic mouse model. Our data implicate mixed-acid fermentation in efficient gut-luminal growth and energy conservation throughout infection. During initial growth, the pathogen utilizes acetate fermentation and fumarate respiration. After the onset of gut inflammation, hexoses appear to become limiting, as indicated by carbohydrate analytics and the increased need for gluconeogenesis. In response, <em>S</em>.Tm adapts by ramping up ethanol fermentation for redox balancing and supplying the TCA cycle with α-ketoglutarate for additional energy. Our findings illustrate how <em>S</em>.Tm flexibly adapts mixed fermentation and its use of the TCA cycle to thrive in the changing gut environment.
