Project description:Diarrhea remains a major cause of death in children. Current diagnostic methods largely rely on stool culture and suffer from low sensitivity and inadequate specificity, often leading to inappropriate treatment. The objective of the present study was to use RNA sequencing (RNAseq) analysis to determine blood transcriptional profiles specific for several common pathogenic bacteria and viruses that cause diarrhea in children. We collected whole blood samples from children in Mexico having diarrhea associated with a single pathogen and without systemic complications. Our RNAseq data suggested that the blood signatures can differentiate children with diarrhea from healthy children either with or without bacterial colonization. Moreover, we detected different expression profiles from bacterial and viral infection, demonstrating for the first time the use of RNAseq to identify the etiology of infectious diarrhea. Whole blood from 207 children including children with diarrhea caused by rotavirus (n=55), E.coli (n=55), Salmonella (n=36), Shigella (n=37) and control children (n=24).

Project description:Sixty crossbred piglets (Duroc*Landrace*Yorkshire) weaned at the age of 21 days were maintained for one week and had free access to feed and water. During this week, all the piglets were scored for the severity of diarrhea. Diarrhea index was scored as follows: 1= hard feces; 2= no scours, feces of normal consistency; 3= mild scours, soft, partially formed feces; 4= moderate scours, loose, semi-liquid feces; 5= watery feces; as previously did Those piglets with a score of 4 or 5 for three continuous days were designated as diarrhea piglets, while those piglets with a score of 1 or 2 for three continuous days were designated as normal piglets..

Project description:ETEC is an important human pathogen. Although the mechanism of diarrhea is known in ETEC, the regulatory networks are less understood. This study was conducted to understand the global expression of ETEC isolate E24377A under different growth and environmental conditions. ETEC E24377A was grown in LB or LB+bile salts (3% w/v). For each condition, three biological replicates were combined into a single sample.

Project description:Micro-inflammation and gut dysfunction are features of diarrhea-irritable bowel syndrome (d-IBS) patients, although the underlying interacting molecular mechanisms remain mostly unknown. Therefore, we aimed to identify critical networks and signaling pathways active in chronic diarrhea-associated inflammation. Experiment Overall Design: Healthy volunteers and d-IBS patients were studied. Jejunal biopsies were subjected to chip analysis (Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChips).

Project description:Increased numbers of mast cells and their products have been linked to symptom onset and severity in patients with chronic diarrhea and abdominal pain. Although mast-cell inhibition ameliorates clinical manifestations and reduces mucosal inflammation, underlying molecular mechanisms remain unknown. Experiment Overall Design: Diarrhea-irritable bowel syndrome (d-IBS) patients were studied at baseline, or 6 months after natural evolution (control) or oral cromoglycate treatment. Jejunal biopsies were subjected to chip analysis (Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 GeneChips).

Project description:Early-weaning-induced stress causes diarrhea, thereby reduces growth performance of piglets. Gut bacterial dysbiosis emerges as a leading cause of post-weaning diarrhea. The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of capsulized fecal microbiota transportation (FMT) on gut bacterial community, immune response and gut barrier function of weaned piglets. Thirty-two were randomly divided into two groups fed with basal diet for 21 days. Recipient group was inoculated orally with capsulized fecal microbiota of health Tibetan pig daily morning during whole period of trial, while control group was given orally empty capsule. The results showed that the F/G ratio, diarrhea ratio, diarrhea index, and histological damage score of recipient piglets were significantly decreased. FMT treatment also significantly increased the colon length of piglets. Furthermore, the relative abundances of Firmicutes, Euryarchaeota, Tenericutes, Lactobacillus, Methanobrevibacter and Sarcina in colon of recipient piglets were increased, and the relative abundances of Campylobacter, Proteobacteria, and Melainabacteria were significantly decreased compared with control group.
