Causative Role of Anoxic Environment in Bacterial Regulation of Human Intestinal Function.
Introduction: Life on Earth depends on oxygen; human tissues require oxygen signaling, whereas many microorganisms, including bacteria, thrive in anoxic environments. Despite these differences, human tissues and bacteria coexist in close proximity to each other such as in the intestine. How oxygen governs intestinal-bacterial interactions remains poorly understood.
Methods: To address to this gap, we created a dual-oxygen environment in a microfluidic device to study the role of oxygen in regulating the regulation of intestinal enzymes and proteins by gut bacteria. Two-layer microfluidic devices were designed using a fluid transport model and fabricated using soft lithography. An oxygen-sensitive material was integrated to determine the oxygen levels. The intestinal cells were cultured in the upper chamber of the device. The cells were differentiated, upon which bacterial strains, a facultative anaerobe, Escherichia coli Nissle 1917, and an obligate anaerobe, Bifidobacterium Adolescentis, were cultured with the intestinal cells.
Results: The microfluidic device successfully established a dual-oxygen environment. Of particular importance in our findings was that both strains significantly upregulated mucin proteins and modulated several intestinal transporters and transcription factors but only under the anoxic-oxic oxygen gradient, thus providing evidence of the role of oxygen on bacterial-epithelial signaling.
Conclusions: Our work that integrates cell and molecular biology with bioengineering presents a novel strategy to engineer an accessible experimental system to provide tailored oxygenated environments. The work could provide new avenues to study intestine-microbiome signaling and intestinal tissue engineering, as well as a novel perspective on the indirect effects of gut bacteria on tissues including tumors.

期刊介绍:
The field of cellular and molecular bioengineering seeks to understand, so that we may ultimately control, the mechanical, chemical, and electrical processes of the cell. A key challenge in improving human health is to understand how cellular behavior arises from molecular-level interactions. CMBE, an official journal of the Biomedical Engineering Society, publishes original research and review papers in the following seven general areas:
Molecular: DNA-protein/RNA-protein interactions, protein folding and function, protein-protein and receptor-ligand interactions, lipids, polysaccharides, molecular motors, and the biophysics of macromolecules that function as therapeutics or engineered matrices, for example.
Cellular: Studies of how cells sense physicochemical events surrounding and within cells, and how cells transduce these events into biological responses. Specific cell processes of interest include cell growth, differentiation, migration, signal transduction, protein secretion and transport, gene expression and regulation, and cell-matrix interactions.
Mechanobiology: The mechanical properties of cells and biomolecules, cellular/molecular force generation and adhesion, the response of cells to their mechanical microenvironment, and mechanotransduction in response to various physical forces such as fluid shear stress.
Nanomedicine: The engineering of nanoparticles for advanced drug delivery and molecular imaging applications, with particular focus on the interaction of such particles with living cells. Also, the application of nanostructured materials to control the behavior of cells and biomolecules.
