ABSTRACT The interplay between the intestinal microbiota and host is critical to intestinal ontogeny and homeostasis. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) may be an underlying link. Intestinal miRNAs are microbiota-dependent and, when shed in the lumen, affect resident microorganisms. Yet, longitudinal relationships between intestinal tissue miRNAs, luminal miRNAs, and luminal microorganisms have not been elucidated, especially in early life. Here, we investigated the postnatal cecal miRNA and microbiota populations, their relationship, and their impact on intestinal maturation in specific pathogen-free mice; we also assessed if they can be modified by intervention with allochthonous probiotic lactobacilli. We report that cecal and cecal content miRNA and microbiota signatures are temporally regulated, correlated, and modifiable by probiotics with implications for intestinal maturation. These findings help understand causal relationships within the gut ecosystem and provide a basis for preventing and managing their alterations in diseases throughout life. IMPORTANCE The gut microbiota affects intestinal microRNA (miRNA) signatures and is modified by host-derived luminal miRNA. This suggests the existence of close miRNA-microbiota relationships that are critical to intestinal homeostasis. However, an integrative analysis of these relationships and their evolution during intestinal postnatal maturation is lacking. We provide a system-level longitudinal analysis of miRNA-microbiota networks in the intestine of mice at the weaning transition, including tissue and luminal miRNA and luminal microbiota. To address causality and move toward translational applications, we used allochthonous probiotic lactobacilli to modify these longitudinal relationships and showed that they are critical for intestinal maturation in early life. These findings contribute to understand mechanisms that underlie the maturation of the intestinal ecosystem and suggest that interventions aiming at maintaining, or restoring, homeostasis cannot prescind from considering relationships among its components. |
