Project description:This study in rats was designed to investigate whether whole rhye (WR) can influence the metabolism of n-3 and n-6 long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) and gut microbiota composition. For 12 weeks, rats were fed a diet containing either 50% WR or 50% refined rye (RR). Total bacterial DNA was extracted from fecal and cecal samples (n=5 per group). 16S PCR amplification was performed to assess the microbial diversity at the family level using the HuGChip. Amplified DNA was purified and labelled with either Cy3 or Cy5 dye and hybridized on the microarray.

Project description:Background: The possible impact of changes in diet composition for the intestinal microbiome is mostly studied after some days of adaptation to the diet of interest. The question arises if few days are enough to reflect the microbial response to the diet by changing the community composition and function. The present study investigated the fecal microbiome of pigs in a time span of four weeks after a dietary change to get an insight of the needed adaptation period. Four different diets were used differing in either protein source (field peas meal vs. soybean meal) or the concentration of calcium and phosphorus (CaP). Results: Twelve pigs were sampled at seven time points within four weeks after the dietary change. Fecal samples were used to sequence the 16S rDNA amplicons, to analyse the microbial proteins via LC-MS/MS and to determine the SCFA production. The analysis of OTU abundances and quantification values of proteins showed a significant separation of three periods of time (p=0.001). Samples from the first day are used to define the ‘Zero phase’, samples of weeks one and two are combined as ‘metabolic phase’ and an ‘equilibrium phase’ was defined based on samples from week three and four. Only in this last phase, a separation according to the supplementation of CaP was significantly detectable (p=0.001). No changes were found based on the corn-soybean meal or corn-field peas administration. The analysis of possible factors causing this significant separation showed only an overall change of bacterial members and functional properties. The metaproteomic approach yields a total of about 9700 proteins, which were used to deduce possible metabolic functions of the bacterialcommunity.

Project description:Exercise improves brain function enhancing neuronal plasticity and cognitive enhancement. For voluntary resistance wheel running (RWR) exercise, with a load of 30% of body weight, we reported enhancement of neurogenesis and spatial memory associated with hippocampal brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) signaling compared to wheel running (WR) without a load (Lee et al., 2012; Lee et al., 2013). Despite these new evidences, mechanisms for RWR-induced improvement of hippocampal function remained to be clarified. In the present study, we have utilized the high-throughput DNA microarray approach to gain deep insight into molecular mechanisms underlying these changes that could be novel targets of RWR-induced hippocampal plasticity. To do so, whole genome (4x44K) high-density oligonucleotide microarrays were used to monitor the expression level of gene transcripts in the hippocampus of rats voluntary running for 4 weeks in comparison with sedentary animals. These rats showed a significant decrease in average running distance although average work levels immensely increased 12-fold in the RWR group, resulting in muscular adaptation for the fast-twitch plantaris muscle. DNA microarray analysis revealed that 122 (sedentary x WR) and 157 (sedentary x RWR) genes were up-regulated (> 1.5-fold change) as compared with 97 (sedentary x WR) and 467 (sedentary x RWR) down-regulated genes (< 0.75-fold change). Functional categorization using the Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) revealed expression pattern changes in the major categories of disease and disorders, molecular functions and physiological system development and function. Among these, RWR up-regulated genes such as NFATc1, AVPR1A and FGFR4, which are crucial role for neuronal development and its functions. The down-regulated inflammatory cytokines (IL1B, IL10, IL2RA, TNF) and chemokines (CXCL1, CXCL9, CXCL10, CCL2, CCL13, CCR4) might be important to neuronal dysfunction and vulnerability. Taken together, these gene candidates are suggested to play a critical role in hippocampal plasticity. This is a first study presenting not only new information into the voluntary RWR influenced transcriptome in the rat hippocampus, but also provides a hypothesis for the RWR influenced enhancement in brain function. 10-week-old male Wistar rats were randomly allocated to three groups: (1) housed in standard cages and used as non-active controls (sedentary, n = 10), (2) wheel running with no resistance (WR, n = 8), and (3) housed in cages with resistance running wheels with an adjustable resistance (RWR, n = 8). Rats of both running wheel groups (WR and RWR) were housed individually and had free access to a specially designed running wheel apparatus for 24 h/day. Between 08:00 and 12:00 on the day after the final day of exercise, the animals were immediately decapitated using a guillotine. The hippocampi were rapidly dissected, snap frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at —80°C prior to further analysis. The deep-frozen hippocampi were transferred to a precooled (in liquid nitrogen) mortar and ground with a pestle to a very fine powder with liquid nitrogen. Total RNA was extracted and validated followed by checking subsequently synthesized cDNA by RT-PCR. A rat 4x44K whole genome oligo DNA microarray chip was used for global gene expression analysis using the hippocampi. Fluorescently labeled targets of Sed, WR and RWR samples were hybridized to the same microarray slide with 60-mer probes. A flip labeling (dye swap or reverse labeling with Cy3 and Cy5 dyes) procedure was followed to nullify the dye bias associated with unequal incorporation of the two Cy dyes into cDNA. Briefly, to select differentially expressed genes, we identified genes that were up regulated in chip 1 (Cy3/Cy5 label for sedentary and WR, respectively) but down regulated in chip 2 (Cy3/Cy5 label for WR and sedentary, respectively) for the hippocampus. The same selection criteria were applied for chips 3-4 (sedentary and RWR). Hybridization and wash processes were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and hybridized microarrays were scanned using an agilent microarray scanner. The functional and network analysis were generated through the use of IPA (Ingenuity® Systems, www.ingenuity.com). To validate gene changes in array data and test the BDNF signaling-related molecules and expression of select transcripts were determined by quantitative real-time RT-PCR.

Project description:Background. Resistant Starch (RS) improves CKD outcomes. In this report we study how RS modulates host-microbiome interactions in CKD by measuring changes in abundance of proteins and bacteria in the gut. In addition, we demonstrate RS-mediated reduction in CKD-induced kidney damage. Methods. Eight mice underwent 5/6 nephrectomy to induce CKD and 8 served as healthy controls. CKD and Healthy (H) groups were further split into those receiving RS (CKDRS, n=4; HRS, n=4) and those on normal diet (CKD, n=4, H, n=4). Kidney injury was evaluated by measuring BUN/creatinine and by most-mortem histopathological evaluation. Cecal contents were analyzed mass spectrometry-based metaproteomics. PEAKS Studio was used to identify peptides via de novo sequencing. A set of R/Bioconductor packages and in house written scripts was further used to infer bacteria present, to evaluate changes in proteins and bacterial abundances, and to perform statistical analysis and hierarchical clustering. Results. The 5/6 nephrectomy compromised kidney function as seen by an increase in creatinine and BUN. Representative photomicrographs of trichrome-stained kidney sections showed reduced tubulointerstitial injury in CKD mice fed HAM-RS2 diet comparing to CKD mice fed normal diet. Identified organisms and proteins point toward a higher population of butyrate-producing bacteria, and reduced abundance of mucin-degrading bacteria. Conclusion. Resistant starch slows the progression of chronic kidney disease. Gut barrier function through maintenance of the mucin barrier plays a role in RS-associated improvements in CKD phenotype. Resistant starch supplementation leads to the active bacterial proliferation and the reduction of harmful bacterial metabolites.

Project description:The western corn rootworm (WCR, Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte) is an important pest of corn (Zea mays) in the US. Annual crop rotation between corn and soybean (Glycine max) disrupts the corn-dependent WCR lifecycle and was widely adopted to manage WCR. However, this strategy selected for a rotation-resistant (RR) variant with reduced ovipositional fidelity to cornfields. Previous studies indicated that RR-WCR adults exhibit greater tolerance of soybean tissue diet, different gut physiology, and host-microbe interactions compared to wild-types (WT). To identify genetic mechanisms underlying these phenotypic changes, a de novo assembly of the WCR adult gut transcriptome was constructed and used for RNA-sequencing analyses on RNA libraries from different WCR phenotypes (RR and WT) fed with corn or soybean diets. Differential gene expression analyses and network-based methods were used to identify gene modules transcriptionally correlated with the RR phenotype. Gene ontology enrichment analyses on these modules were then conducted to understand their potential functions and biological importance.

Project description:A three-stage continuous fermentative system was developed to simulate and control physicochemical factors of the gut biology. Inoculation was of each reactor was performed from a human fecal sample which was initially amplified with a batch procedure. Samples from the initial feces, the batch and from the bioreactors media were collected to extract bacterial DNA. 16S PCR amplification was performed to assess the microbial diversity at the family level using the HuGChip. Amplified DNA was purified and labelled with either Cy3 or Cy5 dye and hybridized on the microarray. A 5 chip study was realized, each corresponding to hybridization with 250ng of labelled 16S rRNA gene amplicons from either the initial stool, the batch inoculum or fermentative medium different compartments of the simulated colon (Proximal, Transversal and Distal). Each probe (4441) was synthetized in three replicates.

Project description:The evolutional trajectory of gut microbial colonization from birth has been shown to prime for health later in life. Here, we combined cultivation-independent 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metaproteomics to investigate the functional maturation of gut microbiota in faecal samples from full-term healthy infants collected at 6 and 18 months of age. Phylogenetic analysis of the metaproteomes showed that Bifidobacterium provided the highest number of distinct protein groups. Considerable divergences between taxa abundance and protein phylogeny were observed at all taxonomic ranks. Age had a profound effect on early microbiota where compositional and functional complexity of less dissimilar communities increased with time. Comparisons of the relative abundances of proteins revealed the transition of taxon-associated saccharolytic and carbon metabolism strategies from catabolic pathways of milk and mucin-derived monosaccharides feeding acetate/propanoate synthesis to complex food sugars fuelling butyrate production. Furthermore, co-occurrence network analysis uncovered two anti-correlated modules of functional taxa. A low-connected Bifidobacteriaceae-centred guild of facultative anaerobes was succeeded by a rich club of obligate anaerobes densely interconnected around Lachnospiraceae, underpinning their pivotal roles in microbial ecosystem assemblies. Our findings establish a framework to visualize whole microbial community metabolism and ecosystem succession dynamics, proposing opportunities for microbiota-targeted health-promoting strategies early in life.
