Using Roseoflavin, a Natural Riboflavin Analogue, to Modify the Human Microbiota

Markus Egert updated 2023The ISM is pleased to welcome Prof. Markus Egert, active member of the ISM scientific board, from Furtwangen University, Germany to Targeting Microbiota 2024 this October.

Prof. Egert will present a talk on "Using Roseoflavin, a Natural Riboflavin Analogue, to Modify the Human Microbiota". 

Presentation Summary:

The antivitamin roseoflavin is a structural analogue and competitive inhibitor of riboflavin. Riboflavin is a precursor of the cofactors FMN and FAD, which are involved in various important cellular reactions.

The presentation will summarize the current state of a joint project, in which we examine the influence of roseoflavin on the structure of the human microbiota using cultivation-based as well as molecular approaches.

The project was inspired by a recent report that Streptococcus mutans, one of the most important cariogenic bacteria in the human mouth, appears to be auxotrophic for riboflavin and hence susceptible to roseoflavin.

About Markus Egert

Markus Egert is professor for Microbiology and Hygiene at Furtwangen University of Applied Sciences (Black Forest, Germany). His work aims at a deeper understanding of the structural and functional interactions of microbial communities with humans.  He was one of the first researchers to apply the so-called RNA-based stable isotope probing technique (RNA-SIP) to intestinal ecosystem in order to identify prebiotics-degrading bacteria. In addition, he is known for his pioneering work on the microbiome of objects of daily use, such as kitchen sponges, spectacles and washing machines, and the hygienic relevance that goes with it.

Gut Brain Axis & Depression: Startegic Role of Dietary Proline Exposed

José Manuel Fernández RealThe ISM is pleased to welcome Prof. José Manuel Fernández-Real, Universitat de Girona, Spain join Targeting Microbiota 2024 this October.

Prof. Fernández-Real will present a talk on "Gut Brain Axis & Depression: Startegic Role of Dietary Proline Exposed". 

Key Points:

High proline consumption emerged as the primary dietary factor significantly impacting depression. Analysis of whole-brain dynamics unveiled disruptions in the rich club network, correlating with depression and circulating proline levels. 

Notably, proline supplementation in mice exacerbated depressive symptoms, concomitant with microbial translocation. Human microbiota transplantation in mice induced an emotionally impaired phenotype, accompanied by alterations in GABA-, proline-, and extracellular matrix-related genes in the prefrontal cortex. 

Furthermore, interventions such as RNAi-mediated knockdown of proline and GABA transporters in Drosophila, and mono-association with L. plantarum, a prolific GABA producer, demonstrated protective effects against depression-like states. 

These findings underscore the potential of microbiome modulation and dietary proline targeting as promising avenues for effective depression treatment.

Male Fertility and Gut Microbiota: Current Knowledge and Future Directions

Cristian OFlaherty 1Prof. Cristian O'Flaherty from McGill University, Canada, will join Targeting Microbiota 2024 this October to present his latest research: "Male Fertility and Gut Microbiota: Current Knowledge and Future Directions".

Presentation Summary:

Human infertility is on the rise, with approximately 16% of couples being infertile worldwide. In half of these cases, the causes can be traced to men. Causes of male infertility remain hidden in about 34% of patients with normal semen analysis.

In his talk, Prof. O'Flaherty will discuss the suggested relationship between gut microbiota dysbiosis and male infertility. However, more research is needed to elucidate the role of gut microbiota in male reproductive health disorders. An abundance of Bacteroidetes and a reduction of Firmicutes are associated with male infertility. There is potential for therapeutic interventions or personalized treatments for male infertility based on the manipulation of gut microbiota.

He will also have a second presentation on the second day of the congress: "Targeting the Microbiota by Medical Professionals: Where are We Now?"

About Koen Venema

Dr. Venema studied Chemistry at the University of Groningen, The Netherlands in 1990. He received his PhD in Natural Sciences from the same university, on the antimicrobial activity of bacteriocins produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) in 1995. He pursued the health-beneficial activity of these microbes as a Post-Doc at North Carolina State University, Raleigh, USA, where he studied the potential of LAB to function as carrier for vaccines. Thereafter, in 1998 he was employed by TNO for > 15 years, where he used the sophisticated, dynamic, computer-controlled in vitro models of the gastro-intestinal tract developed by TNO (nick-named TIM) to study the effect of functional foods and drugs on bioavailability and effects on the colonic microbiota. Within TNO he has led many multi-disciplinary projects on health of the host (e.g. gut health, inflammatory disease, allergy, obesity) and the role of probiotics and the gut microbiota in these diseases and disorders. In the period 2004-2014 he has been project leader of two projects within the Public Private Partnership TI Food & Nutrition, of which TNO was a partner. Within these multidisciplinary projects his research was devoted to a) the effect of the activity of the microbiota on gut health and obesity using, amongst others, the TNO in vitro models, and b) the interaction of probiotics and prebiotics with the host, a project which looked at the interaction of fibers and probiotics with the immune system of the host.
