The implications of the gut microbiota (GM) on multiple host physiological processes (e.g., gastrointestinal function, circadian rhythm, immune signaling, among others) have recently been highlighted.¹ The heterogeneity and susceptibility to environmental factors of GM in each individual generates discrepancy about the extent to which GM contributes to host physiology.¹,² There remain a number of aspects of GM that are not fully elucidated: e.g., specific stages in an individual's life where GM is established, and how this factor subsequently alters host brain development and/or physiology.¹,²,³ Currently, 4 main pathways of communication between GM and the brain are known: (1) neural pathways, (2) endocrine pathways, (3) immunological pathways, (4) bacterial metabolites.² Among the bacterial metabolites are short-chain fatty acids (SCFA)¹,³, with 3 being the most produced by GM: (1) acetate, (2) propionate, (3) butyrate (in a ratio of 60:20:20 respectively).¹,⁴ Furthermore, the relationships of SCFA with pathophysiological occurrences such as Parkinson's disease, mood disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and others are known, suggesting in parallel, that there would be a relationship between SCFA and neurodevelopment.¹,³ However, their effects on neurodevelopmental processes such as the elimination of excessive synapses by microglial cells and the extent to which they may or may not be beneficial to neurodevelopment are not clear.⁴ The present investigation will emphasize one of the SCFA produced by GM (butyrate) and will explore its role in perinatal neurodevelopment. In parallel to its signaling pathways, butyrate is known to inhibit histone deacetylases (HDACs) and to indirectly participate in epigenetic modulation of transcription and protein expression (e.g., cytokines, neurotrophic factors), important during neurodevelopment.⁴ It is hypothesized that the presence of SCFA (mainly butyrate) would be responsible for the physiological changes found in perinatal neurodevelopment. The effect of butyrate will be evaluated in a pregnant mouse model through the silencing of HDAC1/HDAC2 genes, to subsequently quantify levels of cell death and microglia activation in neonates (P3) under standard conditions (CC) vs. germ-free conditions (GC).
