Akkermansia muciniphila mediates negative effects of IFNγ on glucose metabolism

Abstract: Cross-talk between the gut microbiota and the host immune system regulates host metabolism, and its dysregulation can cause metabolic disease. Here, we show that the gut microbe Akkermansia muciniphila can mediate negative effects of IFNγ on glucose tolerance. In IFNγ-deficient mice, A. muciniphila is significantly increased and restoration of IFNγ levels reduces A. muciniphila abundance. We further show that IFNγ-knockout mice whose microbiota does not contain A. muciniphila do not show improvement in glucose… Show more

“…Host-gut microbiota interactions mediated by bile acids and LPS may affect macrophage polarization and host metabolism and immune responses 153 . For example, the gut microbe Akkermansia muciniphila has been recently shown to moderate the negative effects of IFN-γ on glucose tolerance in mice and humans 154 . These interactions will require further comprehensive investigation in patients with inflammatory and metabolic diseases.…”

“…Hence, in obese mice, an increase in number of Akkermansia muciniphila has been correlated with increased numbers of goblet cells [83]. Furthermore, Irgm1 was found to regulate the levels of Akkermansia muciniphila in a metabolic mouse model [84]. IRGM has been associated with IBD susceptibility and with anti-TNF response in IBD in a pilot study [85] (Hubenthal et al, unpublished).…”
