Project description:Microbiotas play critical roles in human health, yet in most cases scientists lack standardized and reproducible methods from collection and preservation of samples, as well as the choice of omic analysis, up to the data processing. To date, stool sample preservation remains a source of technological bias in metagenomic sequencing, despite newly developed storage solutions. Here, we conducted a comparative study of 10 storage methods for human stool over a 14-day period of storage at fluctuating temperatures. We first compared the performance of each stabilizer with observed bacterial composition variation within the same specimen. Then, we identified the nature of the observed variations to determine which bacterial populations were more impacted by the stabilizer. We found that DNA stabilizers display various stabilizing efficacies and affect the recovered bacterial profiles thus highlighting that some solutions are more performant in preserving the true gut microbial community. Furthermore, our results showed that the bias associated with the stabilizers can be linked to the phenotypical traits of the bacterial populations present in the studied samples. Although newly developed storage solutions have improved our capacity to stabilize stool microbial content over time, they are nevertheless not devoid of biases hence requiring the implantation of standard operating procedures. Acknowledging the biases and limitations of the implemented method is key to better interpret and support true associated microbiome patterns that will then lead us towards personalized medicine, in which the microbiota profile could constitute a reliable tool for clinical practice.

Project description:With the technological advances of the last decade, it is now feasible to analyze environmental samples of vast complexity, such as human stool specimen, using meta-omics techniques like metaproteomics. Still the most sophisticated, sensitive instruments can only extract information that a sample contains in the first place. This highlights the need for initial sample preparation to preserve as much unaltered information as possible. Yet little is known about the effects different processing approaches have on the final analysis results. This study analyzes human stool samples applying metaproteomics and shows that the initial sample storage has a massive effect on the taxonomic composition of proteins identified. The findings are backed up by the results of the metagenomics analysis of the same samples. This suggests, that great care should be taken in choosing storage conditions for (omics) studies, as well as in comparing the results of experiments with different initial processing.

Project description:The protocol to test the preservation capabilities was based on a standardized procedure using the ECSIM, a chemostat-based fermentation system establishes to maintain microbiota. The initial fresh stool sample (1 g) was first cultivated in 5 mL, then 100 mL and then 1 L of a standard artificial gut medium and then either immediately tested in the P-ECSIM or preserved for 3 and 6 months with cryoprotectants before being next used for inoculation of the P-ECSIM. Three intracellular protecting agents were tested alone and in combinations (i) 10% (v/v) glycerol, the most current one, (ii) 10% (v/v) dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which possesses a much greater penetrating power and (iii) 10% (w/v) polyethylene glycol-4000 (PEG-4000), an emulsifying agent with high molecular weight.

Project description:Dysbiotic configurations of the human gut microbiota have been linked with colorectal cancer (CRC). Human small non-coding RNAs are also implicated in CRC and recent findings suggest that their release in the gut lumen contributes to shape the gut microbiota. Bacterial small RNAs (bsRNAs) may also play a role in carcinogenesis but their role is less explored. Here, we performed small RNA and shotgun sequencing on 80 stool specimens of patients with CRC, or adenomas, and healthy subjects collected in a cross-sectional study to evaluate their combined use as a predictive tool for disease detection. We reported a considerable overlap and correlation between metagenomic and bsRNA quantitative taxonomic profiles obtained from the two approaches. Furthermore, we identified a combined predictive signature composed by 32 features from human and microbial small RNAs and DNA-based microbiome able to accurately classify CRC from healthy and adenoma samples (AUC= 0.87). In summary we reported evidence that host-microbiome dysbiosis in CRC can be observed also by altered small RNA stool profiles. Integrated analyses of the microbiome and small RNAs in the human stool may provide insights for designing more accurate tools for diagnostic purposes.

Project description:Cardioviruses are a genus of picornaviruses that cause severe illnesses in rodents, but little is known about the prevalence, diversity, or spectrum of disease of such agents among humans. We report the identification of a group of human cardioviruses that have been detected and cloned directly from patient specimens (Chiu and DeRisi, et al, PNAS, 2008). This series includes 9 arrays (both raw and normalized data) used to detect cardioviruses in human respiratory and stool specimens. The arrays employed here are capable of pan-viral detection (Wang and DeRisi, et al., PNAS, 2002). Keywords: viral detection, cardiovirus, TMEV, gastroenteritis The series includes 3 arrays from respiratory samples and 6 arrays from stool samples. Among the 3 arrays from respiratory sample, 1 array has a signature for an adenovirus, 1 array has a signature for human metapneumovirus, and 1 array has a signature for cardiovirus UC1 (see Chiu and DeRisi, et al., PNAS, in 2008). All 6 arrays from stool samples are cardiovirus-positive; some show evidence of dual infection with other gastroenteritis viruses (i.e. norovirus, rotavirus, etc.).
