16S rDNA sequencing of BALB/c and C57BL/7 mouse gut microbiomes

ABSTRACT: Age-dependent changes of the gut-associated microbiome have been linked to increased frailty and systemic inflammation. This study found that age-associated changes of the gut microbiome of BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice could be reverted by co-housing of aged (22 months old) and adult (3 months old) mice for 30-40 days or faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from adult into aged mice. This was demonstrated using high-throughput sequencing of the V3-V4 hypervariable region of bacterial 16S rRNA gene isolated from faecal pellets collected from 3-4 months old adult and 22-23 months old aged mice before and after co-housing or FMT.

Project description:Microbiota from rats fed with wheat aleurone and plant omega fatty acids In this study we investigated how an AX-rich WA and ALA from linseed oil (LO) modulate the gut microbiota of rats. Wistar rats were fed a standard diet and received either an iso-energetic control oil (PO), control oil + aleurone (A+PO), linseed oil (LO) or linseed oil + aleurone (A+LO) during 12 weeks. Feacal samples were recovered after the 12 week treatments. DNA extractions were performed using using the Qiagen's DNA Stool Kit (Qiagen, West Sussex, UK). 10ng of DNA template were amplified by PCR (16S gene) and purified using Qiagen's Qiaquick PCR purification kit (Qiagen, West Sussex, UK). 1ug of purified PCR product were labelled with either Cy3 or Cy5 using Genomic DNA ULS Labelling kit (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA). 250ng of labelled DNA were hybridized on the microarray for 24h at 65M-BM-0C. Washings were performed as recommended by the manufacturer. Microarray scanning was performed on a Surescan Microarray scanner (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA). Data were extracted using the Feature extraction software (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA). The retained intensity value for each probe was the ratio between the spotM-bM-^@M-^Ys median intensity signals and the median of background signals. A 13 chip study was realized to analyze the feacal microbiota of rats treated with either an iso-energetic control oil (PO), control oil + aleurone (A+PO), linseed oil (LO) or linseed oil + aleurone (A+LO) during 12 weeks. Each microarray corresponding to hybridization with 250ng of labelled 16S rRNA gene amplicons from 2 rat DNA faecal samples. Microbiota structure and diversity were assessed using the HuGChip (Tottey et al., 2013). Each probe (4441) was synthetized in three replicates. On the same array, 2 different samples were hybridized. One labelled with the Cy3 dye and one with the Cy5 dye. The results were processed as single channel (13 raw data files available on Series records for 25 samples).
