ABSTRACT: Intestinal microbiota is emerging as one of the key environmental factors influencing or causing the development of numerous human diseases. Metaproteomics can provide invaluable information on the functional activities of intestinal microbiota and on host−microbe interactions as well. However, the application of metaproteomics in human microbiota studies is still largely limited, in part due to the lack of accurate quantitative intestinal metaproteomic methods. Most current metaproteomic microbiota studies are based on label-free quantification, which may suffer from variability during the separate sample processing and mass spectrometry runs. In this study, we describe a quantitative metaproteomic strategy, using in vitro stable isotopically (15N) labeled microbiota as a spike-in reference, to study the intestinal metaproteomes. We showed that the human microbiota were efficiently labeled (>95% 15N enrichment) within 3 days under in vitro conditions, and accurate light-to-heavy protein/peptide ratio measurements were obtained using a high-resolution mass spectrometer and the quantitative proteomic software tool Census. We subsequently employed our approach to study the in vitro modulating effects of fructo-oligosaccharide and five different monosaccharides on the microbiota. Our methodology improves the accuracy of quantitative intestinal metaproteomics, which would promote the application of proteomics for functional studies of intestinal microbiota.

to challenges related to both identification and quantification of the intestinal microbial peptides/proteins.8 Peptide/protein identification algorithms have recently been significantly improved by the use of iterative database searching of large intestinal microbial protein databases.9 In contrast, accurate methods for peptide/protein quantification are still lacking. Most metaproteomic studies on intestinal microbiota are based on label-free quantification (LFQ),10,11 which may suffer from variability during the separate sample preparation and mass spectrometry (MS) runs.12 Stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC)13 and stable isotope labeling of mammals (SILAM)14 are currently the most widely used metabolic-labeling approaches for accurate and robust quantitative proteomics. These methods consist in spiking a metabolically heavy labeled reference into the samples under investigation prior to sample processing and the MS run; the light-to-heavy (L/H) ratio for each protein/peptide is then calculated for comparison across samples. Although similar

he human body harbors hundreds of microbial species (constituting trillions of microbial cells) with the majority residing in the gastrointestinal tract constituting the intestinal microbiota.1,2 Accumulating evidence has associated changes in microbiota composition with many diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), obesity, diabetes, and cancer.3 Moreover, modulations of intestinal microbiota using probiotics/prebiotics, drugs, or dietary intervention have also been reported to improve the host metabolic phenotypes.4,5 Clearly, there is considerable interest in deciphering the role of the intestinal microbiota in human diseases as it may provide avenues for therapeutic interventions. Next-generation sequencing (NGS), such as metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencings, is well suited for examining the microbiota composition and predicting potential functions; however, it does not provide direct evidence on whether the genes are translated into proteins or not. Instead, metaproteomics can provide invaluable information on the functional activities of microbiome by directly profiling protein expression levels.6,7 In contrast to metagenomics, metaproteomics approaches have been applied to limited number of studies on the intestinal microbiota.

approaches have been applied to monocultures of bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus,15 and environmental microbial communities, such as acid mine drainage biofilms,16 their application to characterize the intestinal microbiota proteome is lacking. One of the challenges of applying these metabolic labeling approaches is the inherent high species diversity of the intestinal microbiota. This almost inevitably results in a diverse metabolic capacity to biosynthesize amino acids,17 which hampers the full incorporation of heavy-labeled amino acids into microbial proteins. Chemical labeling approaches, such as dimethyl labeling, tandem mass tag (TMT), isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ), and isotope-coded affinity tags (ICAT),18−21 are also potentially applicable to intestinal microbiota studies; however, they are limited by the need to carefully control reaction conditions for consistency, and more importantly, by the variations introduced by the protein lysis and/or labeling since the chemical methods have been developed to label extracted proteins or proteolytic peptides.22 We therefore applied a stable isotope (15N) labeling strategy to metabolically label the human intestinal microbiota. Briefly, freshly collected human intestinal microbiota were anaerobically cultured and labeled under controlled in vitro culturing systems, and the obtained stable isotopically labeled microbiota (SILAMi) was then used as an internal standard for the analysis of unlabeled samples (Figure 1A). Upon analysis with MS and peptide/protein identification, the L/H ratios of identified peptides/proteins are automatically calculated using the Census software.23 To our best knowledge, this report is the first to develop a metabolic labeling-based quantitative metaproteomic strategy for human intestinal microbiota studies.

N-labeled bacteria growth medium which was modified from commercially available bacteria growth medium (CGM-1000N, U-15N, 98%; Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc., MA). The in vitro cultures were passaged every 24 h into fresh medium with an inoculum rate of 10% v/v, and samples were collected at each day/passage for 15N enrichment rate calculation. For the proof-of-principle assay, microbiota samples were inoculated into basal culture medium (BCM)25 and cultured with or without supplementation of either fructooligosaccharide (FOS) or monosaccharides. Culture samples were collected during the experiment at different time points. Differential centrifugation was performed for harvesting microbial cells from the collected culture samples.26 The resulting microbial cell pellets were used for protein extraction, in-solution trypsin digestion and MS analysis as previously described.27 For quantification, proteins extracted from heavylabeled and unlabeled microbiota were mixed at a 1:1 ratio followed by the same procedures as above-mentioned. A twostep database search strategy was performed for peptide/ protein identification, against an in-house Human Intestinal Microbial Protein Database (HIMPD, Table S4). The 15N enrichment rate for each identified peptide was calculated using a Census software based on the algorithm reported by MacCoss et al.28 L/H ratios of the identified peptides and protein groups for the spike-in samples were also calculated with Census as previously described.14,23 More experimental details are available in the Supporting Information.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION As a complex bacteria community, such as the human intestinal microbiota, almost inevitably possesses the metabolic capacity to biosynthesize all amino acids,17 we employed 15N labeling to comprehensively introduce the 15N isotope into microbial proteins. The commercially available 15N-labeled bacterial cell growth medium (CGM-1000-N [U-15N, 98%]; Cambridge Isotope Laboratories, Inc., MA) was used with minor modifications to support the growth of intestinal bacteria (supplementation with sodium thioglycolate and bile salts).29 To simulate the in vivo intestinal environment, the culturing was performed in an anaerobic workstation (10% H2, 10% CO2,

and 80% N2) at 37 °C. Five MLI samples collected from the distal colons of different human individuals (Table S1) were tested for 15N labeling efficiency. Briefly, freshly collected MLI samples were inoculated into modified 15N-labeled bacterial medium at an initial ratio of 2% w/v. The in vitro cultures were passaged every 24 h, samples were collected at each passage, microbial cells were harvested and processed for MS (Figure 1A). Peptide/protein identification was conducted using X! tandem pipeline,30 which demonstrated that the number of unique peptide sequences that were completely 15N-labeled markedly increased (up to 11 800 peptides/sample after 3 days labeling), while the unlabeled peptides were barely identified (less than 100 peptides/sample; Figure S1). The Census software was employed to calculate the 15N enrichment using the algorithm developed by MacCoss et al.28 The results showed that all five microbiota tested reached an average 15N enrichment of >95%, which is sufficient for 15N-based quantitative proteomics,14 within three passages/days (Figure 1B). The heavy labeled microbiota cells with >95% incorporation of 15N isotopes were then used as spike-in reference, hereafter referred to as the SILAMi. To examine the representability of the 15N-labeled SILAMi, we compared the SILAMi microbial composition to the initial inoculum (Passage 0) using both metaproteomics-based and 16S rDNA sequencing-based taxonomic methods (Supporting Materials and Methods). Briefly, for metaproteomics-based analysis, all the identified peptide sequences (i.e., 15N peptides in SILAMi and 14N peptides in Passage 0) were phylogenetically classified using Unipept, which assigns taxonomic information for peptides based on lowest common ancestor (LCA) algorithm, UniProt database, and NCBI taxonomy.31 As shown in Figure S2, 16 of 18 microbial phyla (including those belong to Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukaryota kingdoms) and 138 of 142 genera that were detected in Passage 0 remained in the SILAMi reference (Figure S2A,B). Similarly, sequencing the bacterial 16S rDNA V6 region also showed that all of the 10 bacterial phyla and 72 of 85 bacterial genera that were detected

in Passage 0 remained in the SILAMi reference (Figure S2C,D). We then tested whether accurate ratio measurements could be obtained using SILAMi-based quantitative metaproteomics. Briefly, the same amount of SILAMi proteomes were spiked into different amounts of the unlabeled human gut metaproteomes at L/H ratios of 1:1, 1.25:1, 2:1, and 5:1, respectively. The mixtures were then processed for 4 h gradient MS analysis on an Orbitrap Elite. A total of 6 943 unique peptide sequences corresponding to 4 014 protein groups were quantified and the L/H ratios were calculated using Census.23 The distributions of calculated L/H ratios for all the quantified protein groups are shown in Figure 2A, which demonstrated that the median L/H ratios were in great agreement with the spike-in ratios (Pearson’s r = 0.99). The fold change (FC) of each protein group between the four samples was then calculated by the “ratio of the L/H ratios” (Figure 2B), which showed that narrow FC distributions were obtained, with 81−92% of the protein groups having less than 2-fold difference to the median. This variance is comparable to the widely used super-SILAC approach.32 Moreover, the median protein FCs (1.23-, 1.93-, and 4.39-folds; Figure 2B) were in excellent agreement with the theoretical FC values (1.25-, 2-, and 5-folds, respectively). Taken together, these results suggest accurate ratio measurements of the present SILAMi-based metaproteomic strategy for intestinal microbiota studies. As a proof-of-principle, we applied our SILAMi approach to evaluate the effects of FOS, a known prebiotic which can stimulate the growth of anti-inflammatory short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria,33−35 on the intestinal microbiota. Briefly, freshly collected microbiota samples from one volunteer were inoculated into a modified BCM with an inoculum rate of 2% w/v25,36 and cultured under anaerobic conditions with or without 10 mg/mL FOS for 13 and 36 h. The metaproteomes extracted from each microbial culture were spiked with the equal amount of SILAMi proteins and processed for 2 h gradient MS analysis. A total of 2 280 protein groups were quantified. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that C

FOS markedly shifted the overall metaproteome along PC1 (explaining the most variability, 37.5% of the total variance; Figure 3A). Metaproteome changes in control (NC) group during in vitro culturing were also observed along the second PC, which explains 18.5% of the total variance (Figure 3A). To identify FOS-altered microbial proteins, a two-sample t test was performed followed by Benjamin-Hochberg FDR correction on samples with and without 36 h FOS treatment. A total of 187

protein groups were identified with >2-fold changes and FDRcorrected p < 0.05 (Figure S3 and Table S2). Among those different protein groups, eight orthologs of the elongation factor Tu (EF-Tu) from different bacterial species were increased (exemplified by a quantified peptide as shown in Figure 3B; the MS/MS spectra and peptide-spectra match are shown in Figure S4). As well, nine orthologs of glyceraldehyde3-phosphate dehydrogenase protein were also quantified, D

quantitative concept and downstream data processing procedures of SILAMi-based approach are completely compatible with the currently widely used SILAC/SILAM-based proteomics. Thus, the present metaproteomic approach shows a promising method for functional studies of the intestinal microbiota, which would largely promote the application of proteomics in the field of microbiota studies.

among which eight orthologs were decreased while the one from Fusobacterium varium was increased. SCFA metabolism pathways were mainly enriched by the FOS-altered proteins (Figure S5), which was in agreement with the known effects of FOS.33,35 We also found that the proteins involved in endotoxin synthesis (e.g., ADP-glyceromanno-heptose 6epimerase) were decreased. Endotoxin-producing bacteria or endotoxin itself have been shown to mediate systemic chronic inflammation and to contribute to the development of metabolic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes;37,38 thus, the decrease of endotoxin synthesis in FOS-treated microbiota may also partly explain its prebiotic activity in the intestinal tract. As another example, we applied the SILAMi approach to distinguish the effects of different monosaccharides on the microbiota. Overall, 18 human microbiota culture samples cocultured with or without 2.5 g/L of each monosaccharide (Nacetyl glucosamine, mannose, galactose, fucose, or glucose) were analyzed by SILAMi-based metaproteomics, which led to 3 158 quantified protein groups. A total of 246 protein groups were identified as being differentially abundant as compared to the nontreated control group (Table S3). Unique metaproteome patterns were observed in response to the different monosaccharide treatments (Figure 3C). The monosaccharide fucose showed the smallest effect on the metaproteome; however, cluster 206, mainly consisting of fucose utilizationrelated proteins, was increased only in the fucose-treated microbiota (Figure 3C). Moreover, all of the six quantified fucose utilizing proteins in the fucose utilization pathway were increased upon the supplementation of fucose (Figure 3D).39 On the other hand, N-acetyl glucosamine (GlcNAc) resulted in the most dramatic alterations of the metaproteome with significant increase of GlcNAc degrading proteins (Figure S6A−C), which produce fructose 6-phosphate and NH3. The latter may be used for asparagine synthesis since asparagine synthase was also significantly increased (Figure S6D).

CONCLUSIONS We have developed a fast and effective strategy for metabolically labeling the whole human intestinal microbiota, termed stable isotopically labeled intestinal microbiota (SILAMi). Isotopically labeled reference microbiomes are generated by inoculating fresh intestinal microbiota samples into 15N-labeled bacterial growth media for 24 h intervals until 95% 15N enrichment is reached. Once the 15N isotope is sufficiently incorporated, the labeled microbiota can be used as an internal standard for the study of unlabeled samples. To note, because of the significant differences between the in vitro growth conditions and the in vivo human intestinal environment, some of the microbial phylotypes were lost during the in vitro 15N labeling. This limitation could be addressed by labeling bacteria in monocultures (i.e., those that were lacking or of interest) to generate a “super-SILAMi” that could be used similarly to the widely used super-SILAC methodology.32 Moreover, the limitations can also be addressed using recently reported algorithms, such as hybrid LFQ and QuantFusion,40,41 which combine the label-free and labeled strategies to accurately quantify the proteins absent in spike-in reference. Nevertheless, SILAMi is an easy-to-implement approach to metabolically label the human intestinal microbiota. The applicability of SILAMi was demonstrated through the studies of in vitro effects of different compounds, including prebiotics and monosaccharides, on the human microbiota. The
