Project description:Oral administration of an extract of compost fermented with thermophiles to pigs reduces the incidence of stillbirth and promotes piglet growth. However, the mechanism by which compost extract modulates the physiological conditions of the animals remains largely unknown. Here, we investigate the effects of compost extract on the gene expression in the intestine of the rat as a mammalian model. Gene expression analyses of the intestine indicated that several immune-related genes were upregulated following compost exposure. Thus, thermophile-fermented compost can contain microbes and/or substances that activate the gut mucosal immune response in the rat.

Thus, thermophile-fermented compost can contain microbes and/or substances that activate the gut mucosal immune response in the rat. In Male Wistar rats aged 3 weeks, tap water was supplemented with 1.0% (v/v) compost extract for the experimental rats, whereas water only was given to the control rats. The rats received water ad libitum for 12 weeks. Fresh gut samples were collected from individual rats at the end of the feeding test and stored at -80°C. The intestine were separated from the gut and used as samples for the isolation of total RNA. otal RNA was then subjected to microarray experiments using the Whole Rat Genome (4x44k) Oligo Microarray (Agilent Technologies, Inc.)
Project description:Gut microbiota and their metabolites influence host gene expression and physiological status through diverse mechanisms. Here we investigate how gut microbiota and their metabolites impact host's mRNA m6A epitranscriptome in various antibiotic-induced microbiota dysbiosis models. With multi-omics analysis, we find that the imbalance of gut microbiota can rewire host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic profiles in brain, liver and intestine. We further explore the underlying mechanisms regulating host mRNA m6A methylome by depleting the microbiota with ampicillin. Metabolomic profiling shows that cholic acids are the main down-regulated metabolites with Firmicutes as the most significantly reduced genus in ampicillin-treated mice comparing to untreated mice. Fecal microbiota transplantations in germ-free mice and metabolites supplementations in cells verify that cholic acids are associated with host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic rewiring. Collectively, this study employs an integrative multi-omics analysis to demonstrate the impact of gut microbiota dysbiosis on host mRNA m6A epitranscriptomic landscape via cholic acid metabolism.

Project description:Multi-omics analyses of 16S rRNA gene sequencing
Project description:The aim of this study was to explore the gene expression and metabolites among multisite adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells, and investigate the metabolic pathway of multisite adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells using a multi-omics analysis. Subcutaneous adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (SASCs), perirenal adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (PASCs), and epididymal adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (EASCs) were isolated from Sprague Dawley rats. RNA and metabolites were extracted and sequenced using transcriptomics and metabolomics analyses, respectively. There were 720 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in EASCs and 688 DEGs in PASCs compared with SASCs; there were 166 unique DEGs in EASCs, 134 unique DEGs in PASCs, and 554 common DEGs between EASCs and PASCs. Furthermore, there were 220 differential metabolites in EASCs, 249 differential metabolites in PASCs, 83 unique differential metabolites in EASCs, 112 unique differential metabolites in PASCs, and 137 common differential metabolites between EASCs and PASCs. The transcriptomics and metabolomics analyses identified four hub genes, one in EASCs and three in PASCs. There are functional differences among multisite adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells that may be related to the hub genes Atac2, Rrm1, Rrm2, and Gla. The relevant signaling pathways are the Ras signaling pathway, HIF-1 signaling pathway, and the p53 signaling pathway.
Project description:In this study, a cross species hybridization (CSH) approach was used to evaluate whole transcriptome changes during carotenoid accumulation in the storage root of carrot (Daucus carota). Carotenoids are isoprenoid compounds providing red, yellow and orange color to plants. Previous gene expression analyses of carotenoid accumulation in non-model plant species have primarily used a candidate gene approach. Since global transcriptome analyses require extensive genome sequence, in the absence of these genomic resources an alternate approach uses platforms developed for model plant species. To assess transcriptome patterns associated with carotenoid pigmentation in carrot storage root, two carrot sibling inbred lines, B8788, true breeding for orange color and B8750, true breeding for white root color, were hybridized to the Medicago Affymetrix GeneChip microarray.
