However, how this association began remains unclear. We show that in basal chordates the gut space is radially compartmentalized into a luminal part where food microbes pass and an almost axenic peripheral part, defined by membranous delamination of the gut epithelium. While this membrane, framed with chitin nanofibers, structurally resembles invertebrate peritrophic membranes, proteome supports its affinity to mammalian mucus layers, where gut microbiota colonize. In ray-finned fish, intestines harbor indigenous microbes, but chitinous membranes segregate these luminal microbes from the surrounding mucus layer. These data suggest that chitin-based barrier immunity is an ancient system, the loss of which, at least in mammals, provided mucus layers as a novel niche for microbial colonization. These findings provide a missing link for intestinal immune systems in animals, revealing disparate mucosal environment in model organisms and highlighting the loss of a proven system as innovation. Mammalian guts harbor indigenous microbial communities that show high population densities, diverse taxonomic compositions, and beneficial effects on host health 1. Mucosal immune systems maintain gut homeostasis by eliminating pathogens, while tolerating and harnessing the indigenous microbes for beneficial associations 2 , 3. Reciprocally, gut microbiota affect proper development of mucosal immune systems by stimulating innate and adaptive immune responses 4 , 5. Although it was generally believed that the memory competence of adaptive immunity enhances resistance to previously encountered pathogens, growing evidence suggests that it provides more versatile means to shape and manage a complex microbial community in the intestine 6 , 7. In fact, gut microbiota of invertebrates, which lack adaptive immunity, are generally far less complex and prone to be shaped by environmental microbial composition 8 , 9. It remains unclear how the mammalian gut microbiota arose and coevolved with mucosal immune systems in the diverse milieu of animal—microbe association Based on the notion that complex biological systems can be discriminated into ancestral and derived features when properly set in an evolutionary framework, we addressed these questions by conducting a comparative analysis of chordates, an animal lineage that includes two invertebrate groups, tunicates and lancelets, as well as vertebrates Chordates show a remarkable diversity of food habits that is accompanied by morphological changes in the pharyngeal region Supplementary Fig. We point out that the diverse food habit of chordates originated from a distinct type of particulate feeding. Tunicates and lancelets employ unique mucus nets secreted from the endostyle, a pharyngeal organ that is a chordate invention and that is homologous to the vertebrate thyroid, to separate particulate matter from seawater flowing through the gill slits 12 Fig. The high capacity and non-selectivity of this filtration system subject the intestinal mucosal surface to an immense and continual bacterial load, but how these invertebrate chordates protect themselves from food microbes that include potential pathogens is unknown. We found that the tunicate, Ciona intestinalis Type A, defecates filtrating mucus nets that are enveloped by transparent membranous structures Fig. We observed by dissection that this envelope membrane first appears in the stomach and wraps mucus nets through the gut. Scanning electron microscopy SEM showed that the formation of envelope membranes proceed in the manner of delamination from the gut epithelium Fig. Cross-sections revealed that envelope membranes confine ingested microbes to the luminal space, maintaining the ciliated epithelium free of microbes Fig. Gut barrier membrane of the tunicate Ciona intestinalis Type A. Cyan and magenta arrows denote the flows of seawater and mucus nets MuN , respectively. While seawater, drawn from the oral siphon OrS into the branchial sac BrS, gray , passes through the gill slits GiS to be expelled from the atrial siphon AtS , particulate matter in seawater is trapped with mucus nets covering the inside of the branchial sac magenta dotted lines in c. Mucus nets, secreted from the endostyle En and conveyed to the dorsal lamina DoL , are rolled up as a single mucus cord MuC, a red line in b , which is then transported posteriorly to the esophagus Es and the stomach St. The mucus cord is recognizable due to trapped red beads. A winding mucus cord is enveloped inside a transparent membrane. Cilia, but not projections, are recognizable. An arrowhead indicates one of the cilium sections. M, markers; Pc, positive control food microbes ; Me, isolated membranes enclosing food residues. We then examined structural features and chemical composition of the envelope membranes. Alkaline removal of proteinous components from intact porous membranes revealed a multilayered, meshed framework of randomly oriented nanofibers Fig. Nanofibers are the plausible morphology of natural chitin. The average size of the mesh was Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy FT-IR , which provides information of chemical composition, and X-ray diffraction, which provides scattering profiles of crystalline compounds, demonstrated that the purified frameworks are composed of chitin and cellulose Fig. Tunicates are the only animal group known to synthesize cellulose Electron diffraction of a single thick fiber gave clear reflection signals characteristic of cellulose Fig. Chemically purified frameworks, which can be visualized using fluorescent probes conjugated with chitin-binding domain protein Fig. In the chitinase reaction, mass spectrometry analysis detected the release of N -acetylglucosamine and N -acetylchitobiose, which are the expected degradation products of chitin Fig. Together, these data show that the meshed framework of envelope membranes consists chiefly of chitin with intermingled cellulose nanofibers. The chitinous framework of Ciona barrier membranes. A white arrowhead indicates a sparse, thick fiber meshed with abundant thin fibers. For details, see Supplementary Fig. Intestinal microbes Mi directly contact the gut epithelium Ep. Next, we tested the possibility that the chitinous membranes are relevant to formation and maintenance of the axenic space over the gut epithelium Fig. Inhibition of chitin synthase activity using a substrate analog Nikkomycin Z 14 caused disruption of envelope membranes, which allowed direct microbial contact with gut enterocytes Fig. This caused a drop of survival rate from Because the antibiotic Streptomycin maintained higher survivorship These data suggest that envelope membranes framed with endogenous chitin promote gut homeostasis by acting as a physical barrier. The chitinous framework of envelope membranes is buried within the surface matrix Fig. To gain functional insights into this matrix, we identified protein components of envelope membranes using mass spectrometry MS -based proteomic analyses Supplementary Table 1. MACPF family proteins are essential for cytolytic activities in various organisms, e. Protein components of the Ciona barrier membrane. For details, see Supplementary Figure 5. Recombinant proteins are visualized with chromogenic detection of His-tag purple. Lower panels show that Wt tethers Ciona -gut derived bacilli on chitin beads. Recombinant proteins and bacilli were visualized with confocal laser scanning microscopy using fluorophore-conjugated anti-His tag antibody blue and a nuclear staining reagent, TO-PRO-3 red , respectively. Ci-GFM1 is a mosaic protein composed of 30 domains of 13 types. Each protein has additional domains with specific functions. This protein binds to gut luminal bacteria via its N-terminal variable-type immunoglobulin domains, thereby acting as an opsonin to enhance bacterial phagocytosis in the lamina propria Our proteomic data add another line of evidence in favor of this view. VCBP-C recognizes endogenous chitin in the envelope membranes. These data suggest that VCBP-C helps minimize microbial access to the epithelium by trapping bacteria on the chitinous barrier. Third in abundance was a large mosaic protein amino acids having 30 domains of 13 types. The overall arrangement of these domains and cysteine residues is conserved with human gel-forming mucins GFMs 18 and von Willebrand factor VWF 19 Fig. We thus predict that multimeric Ci-GFM1 lines the chitinous wall of the intestinal barrier, though this needs to be tested in future. Collectively, the proteomic data support the view that the intestinal physical barrier is immunologically fortified with matrix components Fig. A chitin-based barrier immunity model. The intestinal mucosal surface of the tunicate, C. The barrier function results from sieving by a chitinous framework blue dotted lines and immune functions of matrix substances yellow lines , e. Delamination of a new membrane from the epithelium renews axenic conditions. The tree diagram depicts phylogeny of chordates lancelets, tunicates and vertebrates and invertebrate outgroups arthropods and annelids. Two arrows extending from outgroups and lobe-finned fishes point to schematic drawings of intestinal barrier immunity representative of each group. Note that these simple drawings highlight physical, but not cellular nor chemical components of barrier immunity. Invertebrate outgroups share a chitinous barrier membrane, known as the peritrophic matrix PM, a blue dotted circle 21 , 32 , which encloses food matter and luminal microbes ovals. The mammalian subgroup of lobe-finned fishes possesses a GFM-based mucus layer a yellow circle that covers the mucosal surface and hampers microbial access to the epithelium, while harboring dense microbes ovals 24 , The second diagram shows the distal colon of mice. The mammalian mucus system has multiple physiological roles, and the condition of mucus varies along the longitudinal axis of the intestine. Although invertebrate PMs and mammalian mucus layers are considered analogous, i. To test this idea, animal groups that occupy intervening phylogenetic positions typed in magenta are critical. The finding of chitin-based barrier immunity in the gut of the tunicate Ciona raises the question of how it is related to intestinal immune mechanisms of other animal groups Fig. In many invertebrate groups, a membranous matrix surrounds food residues in the midgut, persists through the intestine and often accumulates in fecal pellets This so-called peritrophic matrix PM contains chitin in arthropods and annelids, although other groups lack detectable chitin 21 , Because insect PMs are targets of pest control and malaria research 23 , we were able to compare them in detail with the Ciona membrane. They share a mesh of chitin nanofibers synthesized by homologous chitin synthases, but they differ in protein composition. In contrast, our proteomic data suggest an affinity to mammals, because GFMs are the main structural components of mammalian mucus layers 18 , Therefore, we hypothesize that the envelope membrane of Ciona represents an evolutionary link between invertebrate PMs and mammalian mucus layers Fig. To bridge the gap between them, we examined the guts of chordate lineages that occupy phylogenetically intervening positions between invertebrates and mammals, as follows: a basal chordate Branchiostoma floridae lancelet , a jawless vertebrate Eptatretus atami hagfish , and a jawed vertebrate Oreochromis mossambicus , known as Mozambique tilapia, one of the popular aquaculture species worldwide ray-finned fish. Using structural, chemical, crystallographic, and gene expression criteria, we demonstrated intestinal chitinous membranes devoid of cellulose in these organisms Figs. Intestinal chitinous membranes are widely distributed in chordates. Mucus nets, secreted from the endostyle En and transported to the stomach St and intestine In , are recognizable by their trapped red beads. The anterior and posterior ends of the body are indicated by A and P, respectively. This composite image shows near quarter sections of the original X-ray diffractograms, combined with arcs depicting chitin-specific or cellulose-specific signals magenta or cyan, respectively. Microbial colonization is a major distinction between the mucus layers of ray-finned fish and mice. LaP lamina propria, Lu lumen.

For clarity, liver, gall bladder and spleen were removed in n and q. We further investigated the ray-finned fish, O. Actually, intestines of O. In the posterior intestine, called the distal major coil, the dominant group The second most abundant group 5. These indigenous microbes are associated with digesta mucus, which is derived from the gills and the esophagus 30 Fig. Nevertheless, this microbial community was separated from the surrounding mucus layer that is secreted by goblet cells in the epithelial crypts, and enclosed by the chitinous membranes Fig. We noted a small number of DAPI signals at the surface of the mucus layer, yet it remains unclear whether these signals are occasional bacterial breaches or mucus-colonizing taxa. This segregation between gut microbes and the mucus layer contrasted with what is known about mice, in which mucus organization varies along the longitudinal axis of the intestine While ileum mucus is loose and unattached to the gut epithelium Fig. Indeed, we were unable to detect chitin in mice by either CBD-staining or chemical purification. On the other hand, we obtained CBD-staining signals in gut sections of ray-finned fishes, zebrafish and rainbow trout Fig. These data provide in situ profiles of possible chitinous membranes, irrespective of diverse gut morphology. We further attempted to confirm chitin by chemical purification from fish feces, but failed due to a paucity of chitin. Collectively, these data favor the view that the chitin-based ancestral system is somehow retained in ray-finned fishes, but was lost in lobe-finned fishes on the evolutionary course to mammals Fig. This comparative study showed the presence of chitin-based barrier immunity in chordate guts Fig. While intestinal chitinous membranes, termed PM, have been appreciated for barrier immunity, nutrition and other physiological functions in invertebrates 21 , 32 , it has long been held that chitin was lost in chordates This notion was recently challenged by mining chordate genomes for putative chitin synthase genes 33 , followed by obtaining an infrared spectrum of chitin from Atlantic salmon scales Intestinal chitin has also been suggested in zebrafish 34 and C. For instance, this type of CBD, classified in the carbohydrate-binding module family 14, recognizes at least chitin, hyaluronan and N-glycans on glycoproteins Given this technical limitation, care should be taken to avoid confusion due to misinterpretation of staining data, as exemplified by past cases for wheat germ agglutinin or aqueous iodine, known as chitosan test 21 , In these staining methods, the presence of chitin is sufficient to raise staining signals; however, staining signals does not necessarily mean the presence of chitin. Instead, the present structural data at the nanoscale, combined with physical and chemical evaluations, demonstrated intestinal chitin in chordates and allowed us to consider its physiological relevance. In light of animal phylogeny, the chitin-based barrier immunity in chordate guts bridges the gap between the invertebrate PM and the mammalian mucus layer, which have not been thought to share common descent Fig. This helps us infer how gut microbes have coevolved with mucosal immune systems that maintain gut homeostasis in chordates. The co-occurrence of chitin-based barrier immunity in invertebrate outgroups and the two basal chordates, lancelets, and tunicates, indicates that an equivalent system existed in the chordate ancestor. This means that as filter-feeding non-selectively transported environmental microbes into the gut space as food Supplementary Fig. This radial compartmentalization of the gut space, which we posit as an ancestral condition of chordates, is observed in the ray-finned fish, O. In suspension-feeding invertebrates, including basal chordates, enzymatic digestion gradually occurs across the semi-permeable chitinous membranes, and viable passage of ingested microbes through the gut is common In contrast, the majority of ingested microbes do not reach the intestine in jawed vertebrates, including O. Although gut dilation for food storage occurs in invertebrates and termed stomach, as in Ciona , gastric secretion of hydrochloric acid is an invention of jawed vertebrates 41 , This gastric barrier to microbial influx appears to exert further compartmentalization of the gut space longitudinally, thereby providing the intestine as a new ecological niche for survivors. Indeed, microbial profiling confirms dense population of non-environmental microbes in intestines of various ray-finned fishes including O. Thus, the chitinous barrier of O. Although we consider the condition of O. Transition of gut mucosal surface in chordates and its implication for animal—microbe association. This figure summarizes results of this comparative study of chordates. For animal groups, shown as pictograms, intestinal barrier structures are illustrated above. These illustrations focus on physical, but not cellular or humoral, components of barrier immunity. Arthropods and annelids share chitinous barrier membranes blue dotted line that allow movement of nutrients, but not luminal microbes black ovals , onto the ciliated gut epithelium. This so-called peritrophic matrix PM is widely observed in other invertebrates, although the presence of chitin remains unclear. Tunicates possess chitinous membranes embedded in a matrix of gel-forming mucin yellow circle. This membrane confines food microbes into the luminal space and keeps the ciliated epithelium almost axenic. In ray-finned fish, the mucosal surface is covered with a layer of gel-forming mucin that is secreted from goblet cells. This mucus layer is separated from the luminal, indigenous microbial community by chitinous barrier membranes. In mammals, chitinous membranes no longer exist, and gut microbes directly interact with the surrounding layer of gel-forming mucin. Note that the mammalian mucus system has multiple physiological roles, and there exists regional variation in mucus conditions. This illustration depicts the mouse colon, in which the mucosal surface is covered with two layers of gel-forming mucin, with the outer layer forming a distinct niche for dense microbial colonization red ovals. Previously, invertebrate PMs and mammalian mucus layers were not believed to share common descent. New data on tunicates and ray-finned fish, however, fill this gap and suggest a transition from a chitin-based ancestral condition to a mucin-based derived state top. A tree diagram of animal phylogeny bottom helps to infer events that account for the transition black circles on branches. Mucus colonization in mammalian guts appears to be a novel type of animal—microbe association that was established upon loss of chitin. The salient feature of the mammalian gut is that chitin-based barrier immunity no longer exists, and luminal microbes directly interact with the surrounding, goblet cell-derived GFM mucus. This GFM mucus fulfills the primordial necessity of limiting microbial access to host tissue through joint actions with diffusive effector molecules e. Simultaneously, this protective mucus has a role as a nutrient source for gut microbes. GFM is heavily and diversely glycosylated on its PTS domains, and these glycans are recognized and consumed by gut microbes This glycan-foraging drives microbial adaptation to this novel mucosal interface through competition for persistence Especially in the distal gut, where food-derived carbohydrate is scarce, GFM mucus forms a distinct niche for dense microbial colonization 24 , 50 Fig. In turn, glycan-feeding enables hosts to shape microbial compositions by manipulating the glycan landscape Ecological theory predicts that this host control over microbial ecosystems was a key for establishment of the mammalian gut microbiota that is diverse, but beneficial This highlights the loss of chitin as a prerequisite for colonization of goblet cell-derived GFM mucus by indigenous gut microbes in mammals. With or without this novel type of animal—microbe association, the guts of mammals and ray-finned fish likely provide disparate mucosal environments that impose distinct selective pressures on microbial composition. This may at least partly explain why, in reciprocal transplantation of indigenous gut microbes between mice and zebrafish, transplanted communities change their composition to resemble that of recipients In this way, an approach to integrate microbiome data into evolutionary trajectories of host natural histories would advance our understanding of this coevolved association. In conclusion, this comparative study provided a glimpse of gradual changes in the intestinal mucosal surface in chordates. We propose a transition from a chitin-based ancestral condition to a mucin-based derived state Fig. Concomitantly, gut microbes appear to have changed position from transient passengers that are incorporated from the surrounding environment, as food, to a selected assembly that inhabits the mucus layer as an integral part of the host fitness. We begin to appreciate that spatial organization of gut microbes lays the foundation of this microbial ecosystem 54 , Compartmentalization, which is usually neglected in gut homogenates prepared for microbiome studies, may give us further insight into animal—microbe associations in this digestive and the largest immune organ of the body, the gut.
