Project description:We have previously demonstrated that the arrhythmic expressions of circadian clock genes due to constant darkness induce glycometabolic and reproductive hallmarks of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in rats. Limosilactobacillus reuteri (L.reuteri) is a promising dietary intervention for host dysmetabolism, while its potential effect on circadian dysrhythmia-induced PCOS remains elusive. Here, we evaluated the amelioration of L.reuteri regimen on constant darkness-induced PCOS-like rats through detecting hepatic gene expression profiles by RNA-seq.

Project description:Enteroendocrine cells are hormonal secreting cells in the gut. However, as they comprise <1% of the total epithelial cell population, studies on their response to stimuli have been limited. Chang-Graham, Danhof, Engevik, and Tomaro-Duchesneau et al (PMID 31029854) developed a model enteroid system to overcome this limitation. By driving expression of NGN3 in human jejunal enteroids, their system allows for analysis of hormonal secretion and transcriptional analysis in response to a stimulus. To further characterize these NGN3 enteroids, we performed RNASeq on these enteroids in the induced or uninduced state, treated with a media control or Limosilactobacillus reuteri conditioned media. .
