- the present invention relates to Roseburia flagellins, and/or polynucleotide sequences encoding said Roseburia flagellins, and/or vectors comprising said polynucleotide sequences, and/or host cells, including bacteria, comprising said vectors, and/or host cells, including bacteria, comprising said polynucleotide sequences, for various therapeutic and nutritional uses.
- the human intestine is thought to be sterile in utero, but is exposed to a large variety of maternal and environmental microbes immediately after birth. Thereafter, a dynamic period of microbial colonization and succession occurs which is influenced by factors such as delivery mode, environment, diet and host genotype, all of which impact upon the composition of the gut microbiota, particularly during early life. Subsequently, the microbiota stabilizes and becomes adult-like (Spor, Koren & Ley 2011).
- the human gut microbiota contains more than 500-1000 different phylotypes belonging essentially to two major bacterial divisions, the Bacteroidetes and the Firmicutes (Eckburg ei al. 2005).
- the successful symbiotic relationships arising from bacterial colonization of the human gut have yielded a wide variety of metabolic, structural, protective and other beneficial functions.
- the enhanced metabolic activities of the colonized gut ensure that otherwise indigestible dietary components are degraded with release of byproducts providing an important nutrient source for the host.
- the immunological importance of the gut microbiota is well-recognized and is exemplified in germfree animals which have an impaired immune system that is functionally reconstituted following the introduction of commensal bacteria (Macpherson ef al. 2001 , Macpherson, Martinic & Harris 2002, Mazmanian ei al. 2005).
- Roseburia spp. are dominant in the healthy human gut and are under-represented in IBD patients (Machiels K. er a/. 2013).
- GenBank Accession Number for 16S rRNA gene strain L1-82: AJ312385 described herein the reference genome sequence is shown in GenBank under accession number ABYJ02000000 (version 2) and consists of sequences ABYJ02000001- ABYJ02000409. STATEMENTS OF INVENTION

- a homologous sequence is taken to include an amino acid sequence or nucleotide sequence which has one or several additions, deletions and/or substitutions compared with the subject sequence.

- the homologues will comprise the same or equivalent sequences that code for the domain(s) etc. as the subject sequence.

- the homologous amino acid sequence and/or nucleotide sequence may provide and/or encode a polypeptide which retains the functional activity and/or enhances the activity of the polypeptide.
- an amino acid sequence as described herein has at least 50, 60, 70, 75, 80, 85 or 90% identity, in some embodiments at least 95, 96, 97, 98 or 99% identity to the subject sequence.

- Homology comparisons can be conducted by eye, or more usually, with the aid of readily available sequence comparison programs. These commercially available computer programs can calculate % homology between two or more sequences.
- % homology may be calculated over contiguous sequences, i.e. one sequence is aligned with the other sequence and each amino acid in one sequence is directly compared with the corresponding amino acid in the other sequence, one residue at a time. This is called an "ungapped" alignment. Typically, such ungapped alignments are performed only over a relatively short number of residues. Although this is a very simple and consistent method, it fails to take into consideration that, for example, in an otherwise identical pair of sequences, one insertion or deletion will cause the following amino acid residues to be put out of alignment, thus potentially resulting in a large reduction in % homology when a global alignment is performed. Consequently, most sequence comparison methods are designed to produce optimal alignments that take into consideration possible insertions and deletions without penalizing unduly the overall homology score. This is achieved by inserting "gaps" in the sequence alignment to try to maximize local homology.
- % homology can be measured in terms of identity
- the alignment process itself is typically not based on an all-or-nothing pair comparison.
- a scaled similarity score matrix is generally used that assigns scores to each pairwise comparison based on chemical similarity or evolutionary distance.
- An example of such a matrix commonly used is the BLOSUM62 matrix - the default matrix for the BLAST suite of programs.
- Vector NTI programs generally use either the public default values or a custom symbol comparison table if supplied (see user manual for further details). For some applications, it is preferred to use the default values for the Vector NTI package.
- percentage homologies may be calculated using the multiple alignment feature in Vector NTI (Invitrogen Corp.), based on an algorithm, analogous to CLUSTAL (Higgins DG & Sharp PM (1988), Gene 73(1), 237-244).

- the up-regulation of Tlr5 was of particular interest, given the corresponding induction of flagellar genes and flagellin protein in R. hominis during gut colonization, and may infer a role for this innate signalling pathway in mediating innate and adaptive immune responses. Other innate immune genes affected in the colon by R.
- hominis included the antimicrobial peptides Defb37, Pla2g3, Mud 6 and Itln and the gut barrier function genes Sprrla, Cldn4, Pmp22, Crb3 and Magi3. Innate immune genes showing up-regulation in the ileum in response to R. hominis included Defcr20, Pcgf2, Ltbp4, Igsf8 and Tcfe2a. Interestingly, herein it is shown negative regulation of the NF- ⁇ pathway (GO:0043124) (Fig, S2) by R. hominis, which, like B. thetaiotaomicron (Kelly et al. 2004), may contribute to immune homeostasis by down-regulating this inflammatory cascade.
- R. hominis affects T cell pathways mostly in the colon The majority of pathways affected at 14d grouped into the categories cell differentiation, cell cycle regulation and tissue remodelling. Importantly, immune response was a major pathway induced at 28d in the ascending colon. The significantly affected pathways in this category were mostly involved in T cell function, including IL-10 signalling and regulation of T cell function by CTLA-4 (Table S5). The genes involved in these pathways showed both up- regulation and down-regulation, so while these pathways were significantly affected by the presence of R. hominis, the precise net functional effects on T cell differentiation required further investigation. To clarify the role of R. hominis in relation to T cell differentiation, conventional mice with R.
- the GO-process for 'actin polymerization' (GO:0030041 ) (Arpc3, Capg, Cdc42ep5 and Rhoc) was up-regulated at 28d in the colon in R. hominis colonized mice (Fig. S2). Actin polymerization at the immune synapse is required for T cell activation and effector function. Overall, this data indicates that R. hominis actively effects the adaptive immune response in the colon by positively influencing T cell regulation.
- Ly6g6c GPI-anchored gene product of Ly6g6c was up-regulated 25-fold
- Ly6g6e was up-regulated two-fold at 28d.
- a possible role of Ly6 in T eel! activation, differentiation and maturation has been proposed (Mallya, Campbell & Aguado 2006). Immunocytochemistry confirmed increased presence of Ly6G + , CD1 1 b + and CD3 + FoxP3 + cells in R. ?om/n s-colonized mice (Fig. 5B).
- TLR5 signalling The influence of bacteria on the differentiation of T cells may reflect the array of TLR ligands displayed.
- flagellin can prime a range of T cell responses including Th1 , Th2, Th17 and Treg responses (Wilson ef al. 2012).
- the functionality of bacterial flagellins FlaAI (RH1) and FlaA2 (RH2) was investigated using novel soluble recombinant flagellin proteins, generated against the unique R. hominis flagellin sequences.
- RH1 and RH2 were compared and contrasted with various commensal and pathogenic flagellins, generated using identical protocols, to activate signalling responses in intestinal epithelial cell lines and bone marrow derived dendritic cells expanded with either FLT3L or GM-CSF.
- Epithelial cells treated with identical concentrations of different bacterial flagellins revealed distinct patterns of gene expression (Fig. 6A). Importantly, no endotoxin contamination was detected in the recombinant protein preparations. Salmonella enteritidis (SE) was more potent than E. coli K12 (EC) or RH1 flagellin. RH 1 flagellin also showed a strong response but clustered in a distinct clad along with commensal EC. The responses were shown to be TLR5-dependent using epithelial cells expressing dominant-negative TLR5.
- SE Salmonella enteritidis
- EC E. coli K12
- RH1 flagellin also showed a strong response but clustered in a distinct clad along with commensal EC. The responses were shown to be TLR5-dependent using epithelial cells expressing dominant-negative TLR5.
- RH2 was shown to be minimally active; it was generally not pro-inflammatory nor did it activate the conserved gene signature (IL-8, CXCL-1 , CXCL-2 and CXCL-10) induced by other recombinant bacterial flagellins.
- RH1 flagellin protein is more biologically active than RH2 in vitro; although both recombinant proteins were expressed in vivo, RH1 was also significantly up-regulated at the gene expression level in vivo. It was demonstrated that the RH1 flagellin from R. hominis induced different responses in Flt3L and GM-CSF derived dendritic cells relative to commensal E. coli and pathogenic Salmonella enteritidis (Fig. 6B-C).
- RH1 was unique in its ability to activate Flt3L-expanded DCs, with up-regulation of l-A/l-E and CD40 and the production of IL-10 by bone marrow derived DCs from both C3H/HeN and C57BI/6 mice.
- the IL-10/IL-12 ratio was particularly elevated in C57BI/6 DCs (Fig. 6D), which were found to be CD103+ Siglec-H+. Consistent with the observations herein, a number of recent reports have also shown that flagellin can activate CD103+DC populations (Flores- Langarica et al. 2012, Kinnebrew et al. 2012).
- Table S6 Immune system response pathway analysis of transcripts differentially expressed in the ascending colon between TLR5 KO mice and WT mice, mono- colonized with R. hominis.

- the DSS mouse model was used to test the therapeutic efficacy of R. hominis, due to the control of inflammatory pathways as well as the positive effects on Treg induction in mono- associated mice.
- Mice were dosed ( ⁇ 50 ⁇ _, 10 9 CFU) daily for a period of 14 days, and given DSS (MW 50kDa, 30g/l) in their drinking water from day 8 onwards.
- DSS MW 50kDa, 30g/l
- Gene expression of a panel of pro-inflammatory biomarkers showed that untreated DSS mice had strong elevation of all investigated genes compared to wild-type mice, with gene induction ranging from 4- to 49-fold (Fig. 7A).
- Pro-inflammatory gene induction was significantly lower in R. hominis- treated compared to untreated mice, indicating strong therapeutic benefits of oral administration of R. hominis.
- hominis exerts a stimulatory effect on host appetite.
- the genes involved in these processes were Agt, Cartpt, Cc c and Cxcl12, with fold-changes ranging from 2- to 12- fold.
- Cck in particular, plays a major role in digestion and satiety as a hunger suppressant.
- Gcg also showed down-regulation at this gut site.
- dry carcass weight and composition analyses were performed. The dry carcass weights of R. /?om/n/s-associated mice were significantly heavier compared to GF animals, and the differences were most discernible at 14d (Fig. S6A). Further carcass lipid analysis showed that total adiposity was also significantly higher in R.
- R. hominis an anaerobic bacterium
- the extreme oxygen sensitivity of bacteria like Roseburia requires strict anaerobic culture techniques, making it difficult to perform functional characterization.
- the stable mono-colonization of R. hominis in germfree mice has been established and the complete annotated genomic sequence to uncover its metabolic organization, physiology, and symbiotic properties has been produced. It was found that the transcriptional responses of R. hominis following colonization could be attributed to both the host gut environment and diet. The host-driven effects dominated the response of R. hominis following mono-association.
- hominis other commensals, such as Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and Lactobacillus acidophilus, also enhance mucosal barrier function (Hooper et al. 2001 , Ukena et al. 2007), inferring probiotic opportunities with these bacteria in human IBD.
- the effects of hominis on the gut immune system are intriguing. The strongest effects were noted in the ascending colon and genes such as Ly6g6c were strongly up-regulated, as well as pathways involved in T cell regulation and differentiation and actin polymerization at the immune synapse, which are implicated in T cell activation and effector functions.
- the most affected T cell pathways included those related to IL-10, ICOS and CTLA-4, which are all involved in supporting Treg differentiation.
- Flagellin signals are perceived by host TLR5 receptors and many pathogenic flagellin structures induce strong pro-inflammatory responses (Hayashi et al. 2001). Signalling through TLR5 in response to resident flagellated commensals may be important for homeostasis, since deletion of TLR5 results in spontaneous colitis in mice (Vijay-Kumar et al. 2007).
- the enhanced expression of R. hominis flagellin FlaA1 (RH1) in vivo and its potency in activating epithelial cells and BMDCs is of great interest. Other work has shown that E.
- coli flagellin mutants have a colonization advantage over wild-type flagellated strains, possibly due to absence of innate recognition by TLR5 signalling (De Paepe ef al. 2011 , Giraud et al. 2008).
- the expression or possibly up-regulation of flagellin is a natural response to gut colonization.
- R. hominis flagellin protein remains expressed in vivo and correlates with sustained colonization, absence of overt inflammation and expansion of T cells of regulatory phenotype.
- SFB Prakash ef al. 2011 , Sczesnak ef al.
- certain commensal flagellin structures may help to direct immune tolerance responses through TLR5 expressed on either CD103+DC or Treg subsets (Flores-Langarica et al. 2012, Kinnebrew et al. 2012, Crellin ef al. 2005).
- the immune homeostatic effect of R. hominis was confirmed in DSS-treated mice, although other signalling moieties, such as butyrate, may also contribute to immune tolerance. This data suggests a potential therapeutic benefit of R. hominis in IBD.
- CCL20 gene expression (a pro-inflammatory gene) after stimulation of lECs to different recombinant flagellins (Figure D.2) pathogenic flagellins (SE, ST, LF, and HM) induced similar but not identical levels of CCL20 mRNA, commensal flagellins displayed much more variable levels of induction.
- ER Escherichia coli K12
- RI and RI4 had intermediate stimulatory activity
- RI2 had no observable activity in both cell lines.
- the inventors distinguished three categories of TLR5 agonists (i) those with no or very low immunostimulatory activity, (ii) those with intermediate immunostimulatory activity and (iii) those with high immunostimulatory activity.
- Table D2 indicates significant differences between each treatment calculated with paired t test in HT-29 (upper right) and Caco-2 (lower left). T tests used were unilateral to compare treatments to unstimulated cells (unstim) and bilateral to compare one treatment with another. NS (non significant); *(p ⁇ 0.05); ** (p ⁇ 0.01); *** (p ⁇ 0.001).
- the flagellins ST, SE, K12, ER, RI3 and RH1 induced the secretion of variable but similar levels of IL-8, IP-10 and MCP-1 chemokines, while RI1 , RI2, RI4 and RH2, especially in Caco-2 behaved as low agonists of TLR5, inducing significantly lower amounts of secreted chemokines.
- Tables D3a, D3b, D3c and D3d indicate significant differences between each treatment calculated with paired t test.
- the upper right side of Table D3a and D3b give t values for IL-8 and the lower left side for IP-10, and Tables D3c and D3d give t values for MCP-1.
- NS non significant; *(p ⁇ 0.05); ** (p ⁇ 0.01); ** * (p ⁇ 0.001).
- Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells and cultures Bone marrow was harvested from femur and tibia of C3H/HeN and C57BI6 mice.
- GMCSF-derived dendritic cells bone marrow cells were resuspended at 1x10 s /mL in RPMI supplemented with 10% FCS and 20ng/ml_ rmGM-CSF and seeded at 10mL/plate in 100mm 2 tissue culture plates. After three days culture, loosely adherent cells were collected and replated with GM-CSF supplemented media at 1x10 6 /ml_ in 12 well tissue culture plates. At day 5, cells were stimulated with 100ng/mL flagellins before being harvested on day 6.
- Flt3L-derived dendritic cells bone marrow cells were resuspended at 2x10 6 /mL in RPMI supplemented with 10% FCS and 200ng/mL rmFlt3 and seeded at 2ml_/well in 12-well tissue culture plates. Cells were cultured for 10 days with Flt3 supplemented media added to each well on day 4. At day 9, cells were stimulated with 100ng/mL flagellins before being harvested on day 10 and analyzed by flow cytometry.
- Flagellin Rh1 was most potent at inducing cellular response in GM-CSF/IL-4 derived dendritic cells with Ri4 and Ri3 having a similar response to commensal flagellins K12 and Er and pathogenic flagellins SE and ST.
- Rh2 and Ri2 did not induce cellular response with the GM-CSF/IL-4 derived dendritic cells but significantly increase cellular responses to Flt3L derived dendritic cells.
- flagellins and in particular Ri1 are distinctive in their ability to elicit difference in responses with the activation of Flt3L -derived dendritic cells. This response signifies the specificity of the flagellins to a specific subset of dendritic cells.
- Flt3L derived dendritic cells are categorised as plasmocytoid dendritic cells which play an important role in immunological tolerance.
- BOY/J WT and TLR5KO mice were used to evaluate the functional importance of R. hominis and its flagellins.
- the mice were colonised with R. hominis.
- the animals were euthanized and intestinal tissue sampling was performed. Small intestine was collected for immunological analysis by flow cytometry.
- T regulatory (Treg) cells in small intestine lamina basement membrane surface potential (B) cells.
- the percentage of FoxP3+CD25+ cells in CD4+ T cell population was significantly higher in the BOY/J WT mice in comparison to the TLR5KO mice. This indicates that R. hominis and more specifically the flagellins influences T regs by promoting CD4+ FoxP3+CD25+ regulatory T cells Therefore it can be concluded that flagellins are important in directing host immune response through TLR5 interactions.
