Project description:Differential expression analysis comparing healthy volunteers at sea level and after acute exposure to altitude PBMCs were isolated from healthy volunteers participating in the United States Antarctic Program. Array data was processed using the Affymetrix HG U133 Plus 2 array
Project description:Endogenous intestinal microbiota have wide-ranging and largely uncharacterized effects on host physiology. Here, we used reverse-phase liquid chromatography-coupled tandem mass spectrometry to define the mouse intestinal proteome in the stomach, jejunum, ileum, cecum, and proximal colon under three colonization states: germ-free, monocolonized with Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, and conventionally raised. Our analysis revealed distinct proteomic abundance profiles along the gastrointestinal tract. Unsupervised clustering showed that host protein abundance primarily depended on gastrointestinal location rather than colonization state and specific proteins and functions that defined these locations were identified by random forest classifications. K-means clustering of protein abundance across locations revealed substantial differences in host protein production between conventionally raised mice relative to germ-free and monocolonized mice. Finally, comparison to fecal proteomic datasets suggested that the identities of stool proteins are not biased to any region of the gastrointestinal tract, but are substantially impacted by the microbiota in the distal colon.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract affecting over 3 million adults in the United States. Despite being widespread, reliable early diagnostic tests are not available. In order to remedy this, we examined exosomal small RNA (smRNA), specifically targeting microRNA (miRNA) and piRNA from the stool samples of IBD model mice, interleukin 10 knockout mice (IL-10 KO), as a potential diagnostic marker. Stool samples were specifically chosen because they are readily available and collection is noninvasive.
Project description:The aim of the study was to monitor and analyse injured and diseased loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) plasma proteome profiles during their recovery period in rescue centre within different age and recovery period groups, and determine the potential biomarkers that can be used in diagnostics.

Project description:Opioid analgesics are frequently prescribed in the United States and worldwide. However, serious side effects such as addiction, immunosuppression and gastrointestinal symptoms limit long term use. In the current study using a chronic morphine-murine model a longitudinal approach was undertaken to investigate the role of morphine modulation of gut microbiome as a mechanism contributing to the negative consequences associated with opioids use. The results revealed a significant shift in the gut microbiome and metabolome within 24 hours following morphine treatment when compared to placebo. Morphine induced gut microbial dysbiosis exhibited distinct characteristic signatures profiles including significant increase in communities associated with pathogenic function, decrease in communities associated with stress tolerance. Collectively, these results reveal opioids-induced distinct alteration of gut microbiome, may contribute to opioids-induced pathogenesis. Therapeutics directed at these targets may prolong the efficacy long term opioid use with fewer side effects.
