Project description:Delivery of colostrum within the first several hours after birth is vital for establishing successful passive immunity in neonatal dairy calves. However, it is unclear whether the difference in colostrum feeding strategy can affect the development of the calf gastrointestinal tract. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of colostrum feeding time within the first 12 h after birth on the colonic mucosal immune system in neonatal calves using a genome wide transcriptome analysis.RNA sequencing based transcriptome analysis of colon tissues collected from twenty-seven male Holstein calves which were randomly assigned to one of three colostrum feeding strategies (immediately after birth (TRT0); 6 h after birth (TRT6); 12 h after birth (TRT12)) and were euthanized at 51 h of age detected 15935 ± 210, 15332 ± 415, and 15539 ± 440 expressed genes in groups, respectively. The core transcriptome of the colon in dairy calves included 12,678 genes, with enriched “cellular process” and “metabolic process” as the top three biological functions. Expression of 802 immune related genes were detected in the colon tissue. Principal component analysis of the transcriptomes did not display a clear separation by colostrum feeding strategy, and differential abundance analyses showed no significant difference in the expression of immune related genes among the treatments.Transcriptome analysis indicates that the development of the colonic mucosal immune system in neonatal calves may be independent of the timing of initial colostrum meal within 12 h after birth.

Project description:Combined community health programs aiming at health education, preventive antiparasitic chemotherapy, and vaccination of pigs have proven their potential to regionally reduce and even eliminate Taenia solium infections that are associated with a high risk of neurological disease through ingestion of T. solium eggs. Yet it remains challenging to target T. solium endemic regions precisely or to make exact diagnoses in individual patients. One major reason is that the widely available stool microscopy may identify Taenia ssp. eggs in stool samples as such, but fails to distinguish between invasive (T. solium) and less invasive Taenia (T. saginata, T. asiatica, and T. hydatigena) species. The identification of Taenia ssp. eggs in routine stool samples often prompts a time-consuming and frequently unsuccessful epidemiologic workup in remote villages far away from a diagnostic laboratory. Here we present “mail order” single egg RNA-sequencing, a new method allowing the identification of the exact Taenia ssp. based on a few eggs found in routine diagnostic stool samples. We provide first T. solium transcriptome data, which show extremely high mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) transcript counts that can be used for subspecies identification. “Mail order” RNA-sequencing can be administered by health personnel equipped with basic laboratory tools such as a microscope, a Bunsen burner, and access to an international post office for shipment of samples to a next generation sequencing facility. Our suggested workflow combines traditional stool microscopy, RNA-extraction from single Taenia eggs with mitochondrial RNA-sequencing, followed by bioinformatic processing with a basic laptop computer. The workflow could help to better target preventive healthcare measures and improve diagnostic specificity in individual patients based on incidental findings of Taenia ssp. eggs in diagnostic laboratories with limited resources.

Project description:Background: Idiopathic Chronic Diarrhea (ICD) is a common cause of morbidity and mortality among juvenile rhesus macaques. Characterized by chronic inflammation of the colon and repeated bouts of diarrhea, ICD is largely unresponsive to medical interventions including corticosteroid, antiparasitic and antibiotic treatments. Although ICD is accompanied by large disruptions in the composition of the commensal gut microbiome, no single pathogen has been concretely identified as responsible for the onset and continuation of the disease. Results: Fecal samples were collected from twelve ICD-diagnosed macaques and twelve age and sex-matched controls. RNA was extracted for metatranscriptomic analysis of species and activity within the gut microbiome. Using SAMSA2, these samples were contrasted to identify shifts both in overall organism activity and functional activity. Bacterial, fungal, archaeal, protozoan, and macaque (host) transcripts were simultaneously assessed. ICD-afflicted animals were characterized by increased activity of known bacterial pathogens and by decreased activity of archaeal methanogens. Interestingly, known fungal opportunists were not increased in ICD, nor were the usual enteric protozoans, although Trichomonas activity is up-regualted. Known mucin degrading organisms and mucin-degrading enzymes were up-regulated in the fecal microbiomes of ICD-afflicted animals. Assessment of colon sections using immunohistochemistry confirmed differential mucin composition between healthy control and ICD animals. Finally, assessment of host-derived transcripts confirms colonic inflammation and suggests that the lumen is infiltrated by granulocytes. Conclusions: The simultaneous profiling of bacterial, fungal, archaeal, protozoan, and macaque transcripts from stool samples suggests that ICD of rhesus macaques is associated with increased pathogen activity and altered mucin degradation.
