Project description:This paper presents data from a 5-week feeding trial in which Ballan wrasse was fed either a reference diet, or the identical diet supplemented with i) the antinutrient soya saponin (0.7%) ii) a commercial prebiotic (Aquate™ SG, 0.4%) or iii) a combination of soya saponin and prebiotics. Blood, tissue and gut content from four separate intestinal segments were sampled from 6 fish per duplicate tank. Gut health and digestive functions were evaluated by various endpoint measurements employing biochemical and histomorphological tools as well as global gene expression profiling. No significant differences in fish growth were seen between the four dietary groups. Saponin supplementation, both alone and in combination with prebiotics, increased weight indices of two mid gut segments (IN2 and IN3) and decreased blood plasma glucose, cholesterol and total protein. Dry matter of intestinal content and activity of digestive enzymes were not affected by diet. Histomorphological analyses revealed clear structural alterations in the gut of fish fed saponin, both alone and in combination with prebiotics. The results indicated a progressing inflammation with increased infiltration by immune cells particularly into the distal parts of the intestine. Gene expression profiles obtained by RNA sequencing and quantitative PCR mirrored the histological and biochemical changes induced by the saponin load. The work has provided novel basic knowledge on the anatomy, digestive and immune function of the Ballan wrasse intestine. Additionally, the study demonstrated that Ballan wrasse gut health and digestive function may be markedly affected by diet composition.

Project description:The aim of this experiment was to explore transcriptomic changes in the distal gut of Altantic salmon fed five experimental and two control diets. The experimental diets were isonitrogenous, isolipidic and isocaloric. They had similar content of fish meal (~22%) and similar total plant protein content (~45%), but differed in the contents of soya protein concentrate (SPC) and bean protein concentrate (BPC). These two ingredients were used to replace each other (either partially or fully) at the levels of incorporation ranging from 0 to 45%, with ~11% increments. As a result, the experimental diets contained either 45% SPC and 0% BPC (S45), 34% SPC and 11% BPC (S34B11), 22% SPC and 22% BPC (S22B22), 11% SPC and 34% BPC (S11B34) or 0% SPC and 45% BPC (B45). The S45 and B45 diets were single plant protein diets, while the others (S34B11, S22B22 and S11B34) were mixed plant protein diets. The control diets were enriched with fish meal (FM diet) or soybean meal (SBM diet) to provide negative and positive controls for gut inflammation (enteritis), respectively. The study was conducted at EWOS Innovation Research Facility in Dirdal (Norway) Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) of the SalmoBreed strain were supplied as fertilized eggs and hatched on site. Mixed-sex juvenile salmon in groups of ~150 fish were transferred to 26 indoor tanks (0.6 x 0.6 x 0.6 m), with ~60 L of freshwater flowing at a rate of 3.9 L/min and continuous aeration. The temperature of water was regulated at 13°C and all animals were exposed to a constant light regime (24 h light/day). Fish were fed a commercial EWOS Start 1 diet and acclimated to the experimental conditions for 2 weeks, after which (at body mass ~1.5 g) they were subjected to a 56-day feeding trial. Tanks were randomly assigned to the dietary treatments, with 4 replicate tanks per each experimental diet (S45, S34B11, S22B22, S11B34 and B45) and 3 replicate tanks per each control diet (FM and SBM diets). Fish were fed to satiation prior to the feeding trial and during the dietary manipulation using automatic band feeders (Holland Technology, Norway). During the feeding trial, all fish in each tank had their biomass recorded on days 0 (start of experiment), 14, 28, 42 and 56 (end of experiment) for evaluation of growth performance.

Project description:This study aims to determine the chromosome content and organisation of two myeloid leukaemia cell lines, HEL and U937. This will be done not only with SNP array data to determine breakpoints and copy number of copy number aberrations, but also with FISH (multicolour FISH, multicolour banding, centromere and single locus FISH) to identify translocation partners, chromosome organistion, centromere content, and provide some information on genome evolution in the cell line. Although several HEL SNP array karyotypes have been published and are available online the information here shows that there are some differences, and the additional FISH tests provide a greater depth of information on genome organisation and derivation of the abnormal chromosomes. The U937 cell line was also studied using DNA from fresh and fixed specimens for comparison of the quality of the SNP array data. Data from cells fixed using standard cytogenetic fixative (3:1 methanol:acetic acid) were compared to data from cells processed directly from tissue culture.

Project description:This trial studies how fiber and fish oil supplements affect the metabolism and activities of colon cells in healthy individuals. Diet is an important risk factor for colorectal cancer, and several dietary components important in colorectal cancer prevention are modified by gut microbial metabolism. Giving fiber and fish oil supplements may inhibit the growth of gut cells and ultimately reduce risk of colorectal cancer.

Project description:Erythromycin (ERY) is a commonly used antibiotic that can be found in wastewater effluents globally. Due to the mechanisms by which they kill and prevent bacterial growth, antibiotics can have significant unwanted impacts on the fish gut microbiome. The overall objective of this project was to assess the effects of erythromycin and an antibiotic mixture on fish gut microbiomes. The project was split into two experiments to assess gut microbiome in response to exposure with ERY alone or in mixture with other common antibiotics. The objectives of experiment 1 were to understand uptake and depuration of ERY in juvenile rainbow trout (RBT) over a 7 d uptake followed by a 7 d depuration period using three concentrations of ERY. Furthermore, throughout the study changes in gut microbiome response were assessed. In experiment 2, a follow-up study was conducted using an identical experimental design to assess the impacts of an antibiotic-mixture (ERY, ampicillin, metronidazole, and ciprofloxacin at 100 µg/g each). Here, three matrices were analyzed, with gut collected for 16s metabarcoding, plasma for untargeted metabolomics, and brain for mRNA-seq analysis. ERY was depurated from the fish relatively quickly and gut microbiome dysbiosis was observed at 7 d after exposure, with a slight recovery after the 7 d depuration period. A greater number of plasma metabolites was dysregulated at 14 d compared to 7 d revealing temporality compared to gut microbiome dysbiosis. Furthermore, several transformation products of antibiotics and biomarker metabolites were observed in plasma due to antibiotic exposure. Brain transcriptome revealed only slight alterations due to antibiotic exposure. The results of these studies will help inform aquaculture practitioners and risk assessors when assessing the potential impacts of antibiotics in fish feed and the environment, with implications for host health.
