Project description:Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an acute and life-threatening gastrointestinal disorder afflicting preterm infants, which is currently unpreventable. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a promising preventative therapy, but potential bacterial infection raise concern. Removal of bacteria from donor feces may reduce this risk while maintaining the NEC-preventive effects. We aimed to assess preclinical efficacy and safety of bacteria-free fecal filtrate transfer (FFT). Using fecal material from healthy suckling piglets, we administered FMT rectally, or cognate FFT either rectally or oro-gastrically to formula-fed preterm, cesarean-delivered piglets as a model for preterm infants, We compared gut pathology and related safety parameters with saline controls, and analyzed ileal mucosal transcriptome to gauge the host e response to FMT and FFT treatments relative to control. Results showed that oro-gastric FFT prevented NEC, whereas FMT did not perform better than control. Moreover, FFT but not FMT reduced intestinal permeability, whereas FMT animals had reduced body weight increase and intestinal growth. Global gene expression of host mucosa responded to FMT but not FFT with increased and decreased bacterial and viral defense mechanisms, respectively. In conclusion, as preterm infants are extremely vulnerable to enteric bacterial infections, rational NEC-preventive strategies need incontestable safety profiles. Here we show in a clinically relevant animal model that FFT, as opposed to FMT, efficiently prevents NEC without any recognizable side effects. If translatable to preterm infants, this could lead to a change of practice and in turn a reduction in NEC burden.

Project description:This study aimed to analyze changes in gut microbiota composition in mice after transplantation of fecal microbiota (FMT, N = 6) from the feces of NSCLC patients by analyzing fecal content using 16S rRNA sequencing, 10 days after transplantation. Specific-pathogen-free (SPF) mice were used for each experiments (N=4) as controls.

Project description:Age-dependent changes of the gut-associated microbiome have been linked to increased frailty and systemic inflammation. This study found that age-associated changes of the gut microbiome of BALB/c and C57BL/6 mice could be reverted by co-housing of aged (22 months old) and adult (3 months old) mice for 30-40 days or faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from adult into aged mice. This was demonstrated using high-throughput sequencing of the V3-V4 hypervariable region of bacterial 16S rRNA gene isolated from faecal pellets collected from 3-4 months old adult and 22-23 months old aged mice before and after co-housing or FMT.

Project description:Microbiome analysis was performed on the patient samples collected pre-FMT and on days after FMT, and on samples collected from the FMT donor. Genomic bacterial DNA was extracted from fecal samples using the QIAamp DNA Stool kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), with the addition of a bead-beating lysis step. Genomic 16S ribosomal-RNA V4 variable regions were amplified and sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq platform.

Project description:Purpose: To determine whether previously observed behavioral differences in alcoholic human patients after fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) could be transferred to mice. Methods: Fecal microbiota samples from a previously published phase 1, double-blind, randomized clinical trial of AUD-related cirrhosis patients were used to colonize germ-free mice. Fecal material was transferred to 10-15-week-old GF C57BL/6 male mice by daily gavage for 3 day. The mice were housed in sterile individually filtered cages for 15 days after which stool was collected and then they underwent the alcohol preference experiment using 2-bottle choice drinking (water and 20% ethanol v/v). Microbial DNA was isolated from stool samples by sequencing the V1 and V2 variable regions of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene were sequenced using Multitag fusion primers and sequenced on an Ion Torrent PGM next-generation sequencer. Intestinal mucosa, liver, and prefrontal cortex tissue was collected from mice at time of sacrifice. RNAseq was used to measure gene expression in pre-FMT and post-FMT samples. RNAseq data were aligned to the mouse genome (GRCm39) using STAR (version 2.7.9a) and counts were generated with HTSeq (version 0.13.5). Genes with very low counts across the study (defined as fewer than 10 counts in more than 2 samples) were eliminated before differential expression analysis. Low count genes were determined separately for each tissue type. The DESeq2 package for R was then used to measure differential expression between pre-FMT and post-FMT mice in the intestine, liver, and PFC. Benjamini and Hochberg False Discovery Rate (FDR) was used to correct for multiple testing with FDR ≤ 0.2 considered significant. Results: Mice colonized with post-FMT stool significantly reduced ethanol acceptance, intake and preference versus pre-FMT colonized mice. Microbial taxa that were higher in post-FMT humans were also associated with lower alcohol intake and preference in mice. RNAseq further showed that differential gene expression, post-FMT, occurred in the intestine rather than the liver and prefrontal cortex. Conclusions: FMT leads to significant change in gut microbiome population, which in turn alters gene expression in the intestine. FMT also significantly affects alcohol consumption. The microbiotal-intestinal interface may alter gut-liver-brain axis and reduce alcohol consumption in humans.

Project description:Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease in middle-aged and elderly people. The disorder of gut microbiota is involved in the pathophysiological process of various neurological diseases, and many studies have confirmed that gut microbiota is involved in the progression of PD. As one of the most effective methods to reconstruct gut microbiota, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been considered as an important treatment for PD. However, the mechanism of FMT treatment for PD is still lacking, which requires further exploration and can facilitate the application of FMT. As a model organism, Drosophila is highly conserved with mammalian system in maintaining intestinal homeostasis. In this study, there were significant differences in the gut microbiota of conventional Drosophila colonized from PD patients compared to those transplanted from normal controls. And we constructed rotenone-induced PD model in Drosophila followed by FMT in different groups, and investigated the impact of gut microbiome on transcriptome of the PD host. Microbial analysis by 16S rDNA sequencing showed that gut microbiota could affect bacterial structure of PD, which was confirmed by bacterial colonization results. In addition, transcriptome data suggested that gut microbiota can influence gene expression pattern of PD. Further experimental validations confirmed that lysosome and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction are the most significantly influenced functional pathways by PD-derived gut microbiota. In summary, our data reveals the influence of PD-derived gut microbiota on host transcriptome and helps better understanding the interaction between gut microbiota and PD through gut-brain axis. The present study will facilitate the understanding of the mechanism underlying PD treatment with FMT in clinical practice.

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.
