Quantitative Hexose study on total murine liver tissue from mice at different age
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Following birth, the neonatal intestine is exposed to maternal and environmental bacteria that successively form a dense and highly dynamic intestinal microbiota. Whereas the effect of exogenous factors has been extensively investigated, endogenous, host-mediated mechanisms have remained largely unexplored. Concomitantly with microbial colonization, the liver undergoes functional transition from a hematopoietic organ to a central organ of metabolic regulation and immune surveillance. The aim of the present study was to analyze the influence of the developing hepatic function and liver metabolism on the early intestinal microbiota. Using metabolomic and microbial profiling in combination with multivariate analysis we characterized the colonization dynamics and liver metabolism in the murine gastrointestinal tract (n=6-10 per age group). We observed major age-dependent microbial and metabolic changes and identified bile acids as potent drivers of the early intestinal microbiota maturation. Consistently, oral administration of tauro-cholic acid or β-tauro-murocholic acid to newborn mice (n= 7-14 per group) accelerated postnatal microbiota maturation.Summed hexoses in total liver tissue from healthy C57BL/6 mice at 1, 7, 14, 21, 28 and 56 day after birth was analyzed.
