Epigenetics and The Microbiome Outline
• In bacteria
DNA methylation
• Between the host and microbiome
DNA methylation
ncRNAs - miRNAs
Microbial metabolites of diet
• Obesity and the microbiome
Epigenetics within the Microbiome DNA methylation
• Humans
N5 methyl cytosine
CpG sequence
• All three types of
methylation

(AdoMet)
Epigenetics within the Microbiome DNA methylation
Protect against phage
Restriction Modification System
MTase-methyl transferase
REase-
cuts DNA at internal
phosphodiester bond
Recognition sequence is
unmethylated-4-6 bp
palindrome
Epigenetics within the Microbiome Restriction/Modification
• Recognizes foreign DNA
• Phage escapes and infects
cell progeny has the same
methylation pattern
• Diversification of R/M
systems

Epigenetics within the Microbiome DNA mismatch repair
• New functions
• DNA mismatch repair (dam)

Chen et al 2013, TIM
Epigenetics within the Microbiome Methylome
• H. Pylori 26695 and J99-R3
• Differences in R-M systems
and methylation (Krebes, J et al, 2014,
NAR)
• Two strains of B. dorei (Leonard et al, Front. Microb., 2014)
• H. pylori-reduces natural
transformations
• Functional adaptation to
different environments???
Epigenetics between the Host/Microbiome
Upon exposure to infection or microbiome:
Host response
DNA Methylation
ncRNA- microRNA
Microbial metabolites of diet
Epigenetics between the Host/Microbiome DNA methylation: Gut Homeostasis
TLR4-innate immunity
DNA methylation of TLR4
in IECs in-vitro and in-vivo (Takahashi K et al., 2009, J. Immunol.)

Epigenetics between the Host/Microbiome microRNA: Infection
Pathogens affect microRNA profile
(Maudet et al., 2014, FEBS Lett.)
Epigenetics between the Host/Microbiome microRNA :Infection
• Microbiome altered response of
host to infection
• Infect GF or conventionalized
mice (Archambaud et al., 2013, Mbio.)
• 6 miRNAs
• Interplay between host and
microbiome

Summary of Microbiome and Epigenetics
• Burgeoning area of the role of methylation in control
of gene expression within the microbiome and
between host/microbiome
• Microbial metabolism of diet and epigenetics is an
under-explored area at the interface of
microbiome/host
• Prospective studies

associated with obesity?
•Cross-sectional study
• Women 40-45 yrs
• No antibiotic use
• Fecal sample
n=107/205
• Adiposity by DEXA
•16S rRNA genes
(Hullar and Lampe, unpubl)
Obesity, Fat Distribution, and Disease Risk
• Health risks due to obesity vary on the type and location of
adipose tissue (Cummings and Schwartz, 2003, Ann. Rev. Med; Cleary and Grossman, 2009,
Endocrinology)
• Ethnic/racial differences in BMI-cancer association linked to
differences in the distribution of adiposity (Conroy, SM. et al. 2011, Breast
Cancer Res Treat ; Lim, U. et al., 2012,Int. J. Cancer)
• Predictors of adiposity
