Inaddition, bidirectional interactions between the intestinal microbiota and host mitochondria may modulate intestinal inflammation.We observed previously that mice deficient in the mitochondrial protein MCJ (Methylation-controlled J protein) exhibit increasedsusceptibility to DSS colitis. However, it is unclear whether this phenotype is primarily driven by MCJ−/− associated gut microbiotadysbiosis or by direct effects of MCJ-deficiency. Here, we demonstrate that fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from MCJdeficient into germ-free mice was sufficient to confer increased susceptibility to colitis. Therefore, an FMT experiment by cohousingwas designed to alter MCJ-deficient microbiota. The phenotype resulting from complex I deficiency was reverted by FMT. Inaddition, we determined the protein expression pathways impacted by MCJ deficiency, providing insight into the pathophysiologyof IBD. Further, we used magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) and 16S rRNA gene sequencing to characterize taxa-specific coatingof the intestinal microbiota with Immunoglobulin A (IgA-SEQ) in MCJ-deficient mice. We show that high IgA coating of fecalbacteria observed in MCJ-deficient mice play a potential role in disease progression. This study allowed us to identify potentialmicrobial signatures in feces associated with complex I deficiency and disease progression. This research highlights the importanceof finding microbial biomarkers, which might serve as predictors, permitting the stratification of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients intodistinct clinical entities of the UC spectrum.
