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:Emerging knowledge shows the importance of early life events in programming the intestinal mucosal immune system and development of the intestinal barrier function. These processes depend heavily on close interactions between gut microbiota and host cells in the intestinal mucosa. In turn, development of the intestinal microbiota is largely dependent on available nutrients and substrates required for the specific microbial community structures to expand. It is currently not known what the specificities are of intestinal microbial community structures in relation to the programming of the intestinal mucosal immune system and development of the intestinal barrier function. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effect of a nutritional intervention on intestinal development of suckling piglets by daily oral administration of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) over a period of 12 days. At the microbiota community level a clear “bifidogenic” effect of the FOS administration was observed in colon digesta at day 14. The former, however, did not translate into significant changes of local gene expression in the colonic mucosa. In the jejunum, significant changes were observed for microbiota composition at day 14, and microbiota diversity at day 25. In addition, significant differentially expressed gene sets in mucosal tissues of jejunum were identified at both days 14 and 25 of age. At the age of 14 days, lower activity of cell cycle-related processes and a higher activity of extracellular matrix processes were observed in jejunal scrapings of piglets supplemented with FOS compared to control piglets. At day 25, lower activity of immune-related processes in jejunal tissue were seen in piglets supplemented with FOS. Histological parameters, villi height and crypt depth, were significantly different at day 25 between the experimental and control group, where piglets supplemented with FOS had higher villi and deeper crypts. We conclude that oral FOS administration during the suckling period of piglets has significant bifidogenic effects on the microbiota in the colon and on gene expression in jejunal mucosa scrapings. We hypothesize that FOS supplementation of suckling piglets results in a higher butyrate production in the colon due to the increase in bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the hindgut. We further speculate that a higher butyrate production in colonic digesta relates to changes in gene expression in the jejunum by thus far unknown mechanisms.

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:Early-weaning-induced stress causes diarrhea, thereby reduces growth performance of piglets. Gut bacterial dysbiosis emerges as a leading cause of post-weaning diarrhea. The present study was aimed to investigate the effect of capsulized fecal microbiota transportation (FMT) on gut bacterial community, immune response and gut barrier function of weaned piglets. Thirty-two were randomly divided into two groups fed with basal diet for 21 days. Recipient group was inoculated orally with capsulized fecal microbiota of health Tibetan pig daily morning during whole period of trial, while control group was given orally empty capsule. The results showed that the F/G ratio, diarrhea ratio, diarrhea index, and histological damage score of recipient piglets were significantly decreased. FMT treatment also significantly increased the colon length of piglets. Furthermore, the relative abundances of Firmicutes, Euryarchaeota, Tenericutes, Lactobacillus, Methanobrevibacter and Sarcina in colon of recipient piglets were increased, and the relative abundances of Campylobacter, Proteobacteria, and Melainabacteria were significantly decreased compared with control group.

Project description:Backgroud:Epigenetic modifications (especially altered DNA methylation) resulting in altered gene expression may be one reason for development failure or the abnormality of the cloned animals, but the underlying mechanism of the abnormal phenotype in the cloned piglets remains unrevealed. Some cloned piglets in our study showed abnormal phenotypes such as big tongue (longer and thicker), limp, and exomphalos, which is similar to the human BWS syndrome. Here we conducted DNA methylation (DNAm) immunoprecipitation binding high throughput sequencing (MeDIP-seq) and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of muscle tissues of cloned piglets to investigate the relationship of abnormal DNAm with gene dysregulation and the unusual phenotypes in cloned piglets. Results:Analysis of the methylomes revealed that abnormal cloned piglets suffered more hypomethylated differentially methylated regions (DMRs) than hypermethylated DMRs compared to the normal cloned piglets. The DNAm level in the CpG Island was higher in the abnormal cloned piglets. Some repetitive elements, such as SINE/tRNA-Glu Satellite/centr also showed significant differences. Besides we detected 1,711 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the two groups, of which 243 genes also changed methylation level in the abnormal cloned piglets. The altered DNA methylation mainly affected the low and silent expression genes. We also found some interesting pathways and genes, such as MAPK signalling pathway, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy pathway, TPM3 gene and the imprinted gene PLAGL1, which may played important roles in the abnormal phenotype development. Conclusions;The abnormal cloned piglets showed substantial change both in the DNAm and the gene expression levels. Our data may provide new insights into understanding the molecular mechanisms of the reprogramming of genetic information in cloned animals. We dissected the biceps femoris muscle from the abnormal cloned piglets and the normal cloned piglets, and analyzed the difference of MeDIP-seq and RNA-seq between the two groups.

Project description:Mechanisms allowing P. freudenreichii adaptation to digestive stresses have been only studied in vitro so far. Our aim was therefore to study P. freudenreichii metabolic adaptation to intra-colonic conditions in situ. We maintained a pure culture of P. freudenreichii CIRM-BIA1, contained in a dialysis bag, within the colon of vigilant piglets during 24 hours. A transcriptomic analysis identified the metabolic pathways induced by this environment, in comparison with control propionibacteria maintained in spent culture medium. 12 cutures in a dialysis bag in the colon of piglets during 24H compared to 12 cultures propionibacteria maintained in spent culture medium

Project description:Diarrheal disease is a common health problem with complex causality. Although diarrhea is accompanied by disturbances in microbial diversity, how gut microbes are involved in the occurrence of diarrhea remains largely unknown. Here, using a pig model of post-weaning stress-induced diarrhea, we aim to elucidate and enrich the mechanistic basis of diarrhea. We found significant alterations in fecal microbiome, their metabolites, and microRNAs levels in piglets with diarrhea. Specifically, loss of ssc-miRNA-425-5p and ssc-miRNA-423-3p, which inhibit the gene expression of fumarate reductase (<i>frd</i>) in <i>Prevotella</i> genus, caused succinate accumulation in piglets, which resulted in diarrhea. Single-cell RNA sequencing indicated impaired epithelial function and increased immune response in the colon of piglet with diarrhea. Notably, the accumulated succinate increased colonic fluid secretion by regulating transepithelial Cl-secretion in the epithelial cells. Meanwhile, succinate promoted colonic inflammatory responses by activating MyD88-dependent TLR4 signaling in the macrophages. Overall, our findings expand the mechanistic basis of diarrhea and suggest that colonic accumulation of microbiota-produced succinate caused by loss of miRNAs leads to diarrhea in weanling piglets.
