Project description:Commensal bacteria control the micro-ecology of metazoan epithelial surfaces with pivotal effect on tissue homeostasis and host defense. In contrast to the upper respiratory tract, the lower respiratory tract of healthy individuals has largely been considered free of microorganisms. To understand airway micro-ecology we studied microbiota of sterilely excised lungs from mice of different origin including outbred wild mice caught in the natural environment or kept under non-specific-pathogen-free (SPF) conditions as well as inbred mice maintained in non-SPF, SPF or germ-free (GF) facilities. High-throughput pyrosequencing of reverse transcribed 16S rRNA revealed metabolically active murine lung microbiota in all but GF mice. The overall composition across samples was similar at the phylum and family level. However, species richness was significantly different between lung microbiota from SPF and non-SPF mice. Non-cultivatable Betaproteobacteria such as Ralstonia spp. made up the major constituents and were also confirmed by 16S rRNA gene cloning analysis. Additionally, Pasteurellaceae, Enterobacteria and Firmicutes were isolated from lungs of non-SPF mice. Bacterial communities were detectable by fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) at alveolar epithelia in the absence of inflammation. Notably, higher bacterial abundance in non-SPF mice correlated with more and smaller size alveolae, which was corroborated by transplanting Lactobacillus spp. lung isolates into GF mice. Our data indicate a common microbial composition of murine lungs, which is diversified through different environmental conditions and affects lung architecture. Identification of the microbiota of murine lungs will pave the path to study their influence on pulmonary immunity to infection and allergens using mouse models.

Project description:Psychobiotics are probiotic strains that confer mental health benefits to the host through the modulation of the gut microbial population. Mounting evidence shows that the gut microbiota play an important role in communication within the gut?brain axis. However, the relationship between the host genetics and the gut microbiota and their influence on anxiety are still not fully understood. Hence, in our research, we attempted to draw a connection between host genetics, microbiota composition, and anxiety by performing an elevated plus maze (EPM) test on four genetically different mice. Four different breeds of 5-week-old mice were used in this experiment: Balb/c, Orient C57BL/6N, Taconic C57BL/6N, and Taconic C57BL/6J. After 1 week of adaptation, their initial anxiety level was monitored using the EPM test via an EthoVision XT, a standardized software used for behavorial testing. Significant differences in the initial anxiety level and microbial composition were detected. Subsequently, the microbiota of each group was modulated by the administration of either a probiotic, fecal microbiota transplantation, or antibiotics. Changes were observed in host anxiety levels in correlation to the shift of the gut microbiota. Our results suggest that the microbiota, host genetics, and psychological symptoms are strongly related, yet the deeper mechanistic links need further exploration.

Project description:In this study we applied genomic profiling to evaluate the transcriptomic differences between murine models ot atopic dermatitis. We evaluated the expression data of five models and their respective controls, and one previously published murine dataset (GSE50400). The included models were groupe 1 (Lesional: Flaky tail and FLG mutant; Control: C57BL/6NCrSlc), Group 2 (Lesional: NC/Nga(+mite); Control: NC/Nga(-mite)), Group 3 (Lesional: OVA-ODT 24h; Control: C57BL/6NCrSlc), and Group 4 (Lesional: OXA 2h; Control: BALB/c,Acetone).

Project description:The rod outer segment (ROS) of photoreceptor cells houses all components necessary for phototransduction, a set of biochemical reactions that amplify and propagate a light signal. Theoretical approaches to quantify this process require precise information about the physical boundaries of the ROS. Dimensions of internal structures within the ROS of mammalian species have yet to be determined with the precision required for quantitative considerations. Cryoelectron tomography was utilized to obtain reliable three-dimensional morphological information about this important structure from murine retina. Vitrification of samples permitted imaging of the ROS in a minimally perturbed manner and the preservation of substructures. Tomograms revealed the characteristic highly organized arrangement of disc membranes stacked on top of one another with a surrounding plasma membrane. Distances among the various membrane components of the ROS were measured to define the space available for phototransduction to occur. Reconstruction of segments of the ROS from single-axis tilt series images provided a glimpse into the three-dimensional architecture of this highly differentiated neuron. The reconstructions revealed spacers that likely maintain the proper distance between adjacent discs and between discs and the plasma membrane. Spacers were found distributed throughout the discs, including regions that are distant from the rim region of discs.

Project description:Mechanical ventilation is an essential lifesaving therapy in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that may cause ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) through a positive feedback between altered alveolar mechanics, edema, surfactant inactivation, and injury. Although the biophysical forces that cause VILI are well documented, a knowledge gap remains in the quantitative link between altered parenchymal structure (namely alveolar derecruitment and flooding), pulmonary function, and VILI. This information is essential to developing diagnostic criteria and ventilation strategies to reduce VILI and improve ARDS survival. To address this unmet need, we mechanically ventilated mice to cause VILI. Lung structure was measured at three air inflation pressures using design-based stereology, and the mechanical function of the pulmonary system was measured with the forced oscillation technique. Assessment of the pulmonary surfactant included total surfactant, distribution of phospholipid aggregates, and surface tension lowering activity. VILI-induced changes in the surfactant included reduced surface tension lowering activity in the typically functional fraction of large phospholipid aggregates and a significant increase in the pool of surface-inactive small phospholipid aggregates. The dominant alterations in lung structure at low airway pressures were alveolar collapse and flooding. At higher airway pressures, alveolar collapse was mitigated and the flooded alveoli remained filled with proteinaceous edema. The loss of ventilated alveoli resulted in decreased alveolar gas volume and gas-exchange surface area. These data characterize three alveolar phenotypes in murine VILI: flooded and non-recruitable alveoli, unstable alveoli that derecruit at airway pressures below 5 cmH2O, and alveoli with relatively normal structure and function. The fraction of alveoli with each phenotype is reflected in the proportional changes in pulmonary system elastance at positive end expiratory pressures of 0, 3, and 6 cmH2O.
