Project description:Transcriptional profiling of rice genes analyzing the effect of knockdown of OsHRZ1 and OsHRZ2 in HRZ2i lines. NT and HRZ2i lines 1, 2 and 3 (2i-1, 2i-2 and 2i-3, respectively) were treated under iron sufficiency for 7 days (+Fe 7d) or under iron deficiency for 1 day (-Fe 1d) or 7 days (-Fe 7d) in hydroponic culture.

Project description:Salmonid Rickettsial Syndrome (SRS), caused by Piscirickettsia salmonis, is the most important disease in the Chilean aquaculture industry since it induces the highest mortality rates among infectious diseases. P. salmonis is a facultative intracellular bacterium comprising two genetically distinct groups (LF-89 and EM-90) in Chile. Previous data suggest that their cohabitation triggers the expression of virulence effectors, which could be related to a higher pathogenicity in salmon during a co-infection. Therefore, we evaluated whether the physical contact between two isolates from LF-89 and EM-90 was needed to activate this effect. Through a spatially separated in vivo co-culture inside Atlantic salmon followed by RNA-seq analysis, we compared the differential expressed genes (DEGs) with our previous results from an in vivo mixed co-culture. Data showed that LF-89 presented a similar virulence factor profile compared to the mixed co-culture. In contrast, EM-90 had more downregulated DEGs and the flagellar-related genes observed during mixed co-culture were absent. Hence, the synergistic effect related to increased pathogenicity to the host may be driven by the physical co-localization of both LF-89 and EM-90 P. salmonis isolates.

Project description:Changes in the human gastrointestinal microbiome are associated with several diseases. To infer causality, experiments in representative models are essential, but widely used animal models exhibit limitations. Here we present a modular, microfluidics-based model (HuMiX, human–microbial crosstalk), which allows co-culture of human and microbial cells under conditions representative of the gastrointestinal human–microbe interface. We demonstrate the ability of HuMiX to recapitulate in vivo transcriptional, metabolic and immunological responses in human intestinal epithelial cells following their co-culture with the commensal Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) grown under anaerobic conditions. In addition, we show that the co-culture of human epithelial cells with the obligate anaerobe Bacteroides caccae and LGG results in a transcriptional response, which is distinct from that of a co-culture solely comprising LGG. HuMiX facilitates investigations of host–microbe molecular interactions and provides insights into a range of fundamental research questions linking the gastrointestinal microbiome to human health and disease.
