Project description:Baicalin is the main flavonoid component extracted from Scutellaria root. It has multiple potent biological activities, including estrogen-like activity. In our study, we investigated the function of baicalin on mammary stem cell proliferation and mammary development. Our results demonstrated that baicalin significantly accelerates mammary gland development at puberty and during pregnancy; In vitro, baicalin significantly promotes colony formation ability of mammary basal epithelial cells in a three-dimensional (3D) culture system; In vivo, baicalin improved mammary regeneration efficiency in mouse xenograft model. But the mechanism was unknown. Therefore, transcriptome analysis of basal and luminal cells treatment with baicalin was performed.
Project description:Flavin-binding fluorescent proteins (FPs) are genetically encoded in vivo reporters, which are derived from microbial and plant LOV photoreceptors. In this study, we comparatively analyzed the ROS-induced stress responses of the two variants DsFbFP M49I and Pp2FbFP, exhibiting preferential photosensitization of superoxide and singlet oxygen, respectively, in E.coli.
Project description:Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315 biofilms were described to have an increased susceptibility towards tobramycin when baicalin hydrate was added to the treatment. The goal of this transcriptomic analysis is to elucidate the effect of baicalin hydrate on gene expression levels when added to tobramycin treatment. Therefore, biofilms were grown for 24 hours and treated for another 24 hours with either tobramycin (TOB) (1024ug/ml), baicalin hydrate (BH) (250uM) or a combination of both. Also, an untreated control (physiological saline) was included. This experiment was repeated twice, so three biological replicates per treatment were included for RNAsequencing.
Project description:We used one of the RNA-DNA proximity ligation approaches, RedC, for the analysis of an RNA-DNA interactome of microbial cells. We assess the distribution of main RNA types — mRNA, tRNA and rRNA — along the genomes of E.coli, B.subtilis, and thermophilic archaea T. adornatum.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by dysbiosis of the gut microbiota and dysfunction of in testinal stem cells (ISCs). However, the direct interactions between IBD microbial factors and ISCs are unde scribed. Here, we identify α2A-adrenergic receptor (ADRA2A) as a highly expressed GPCR in ISCs. Through PRESTO-Tango screening, we demonstrate that tyramine, primarily produced by Enterococcus via tyrosine decarboxylase (tyrDC), serves as a microbial ligand for ADRA2A. Using an engineered tyrDC deficient Enterococcus faecalis strain and intestinal epithelial cell-specific Adra2a knockout mice, we show that Enterococcus-derived tyramine suppresses ISC proliferation, thereby impairing epithelial regeneration and exacerbating DSS-induced colitis through ADRA2A. Importantly, blocking the axis with an ADRA2A antagonist, yohimbine, disrupts tyramine-mediated suppression on ISCs and alleviates colitis.Our findings highlight a microbial ligand-GPCR pair in ISCs, revealing a causal link between microbial regulation of ISCs and colitis exacerbation and yielding a targeted therapeutic approach to restore ISC function in colitis.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of E.coli SE15 comparing wild type E.coli SE15 with Autoindecur 2 synthesis gene LuxS mutnat E.coli SE15. E.coli SE15 is isolated from indwelling catheter of urinary tract infected patient. Examine change of quorum sensing related gene by deleting autoinducer 2 synthesis gene LuxS in E.coli
Project description:These series of experiments compares the expression profile of the motility variants of E.coli MG1655 ( Motile and NonMotile isolates) to an isogenic E.coli MG1655 strain in which the IS5 upstream of flhDC has been deleted. The expression profiles of genes in the E.coli MG1655 motile isolate and E.coli MG1655 Non_Motile isolate also compared. Keywords: parallel sample
