Systemic regulation of host energy and oogenesis by microbiome-derived mitochondrial coenzymes.
Cell Rep. 34:108583 (2021)
Gut microbiota have been shown to promote oogenesis and fecundity, but
the mechanistic basis of remote influence on oogenesis remained unknown.
Here, we report a systemic mechanism of influence mediated by
bacterial-derived supply of mitochondrial coenzymes. Removal of
microbiota decreased mitochondrial activity and ATP levels in the
whole-body and ovary, resulting in repressed oogenesis. Similar
repression was caused by RNA-based knockdown of mitochondrial function
in ovarian follicle cells. Reduced mitochondrial function in germ-free
(GF) females was reversed by bacterial recolonization or supplementation
of riboflavin, a precursor of FAD and FMN. Metabolomics analysis of GF
females revealed a decrease in oxidative phosphorylation and FAD levels
and an increase in metabolites that are degraded by FAD-dependent
enzymes (e.g., amino and fatty acids). Riboflavin supplementation
opposed this effect, elevating mitochondrial function, ATP, and
oogenesis. These findings uncover a bacterial-mitochondrial axis of
influence, linking gut bacteria with systemic regulation of host energy
and reproduction.
