Project description:Single cell proteins, such as Candida utilis, are known to have immunomodulating effects in the distal intestine (DI) of Atlantic salmon, whereas soybean meal (SBM) can cause soybean meal induce enteritis (SBMIE). Inflammatory or immunomodulatory stimuli at the local level in the intestine may alter the plasma protein profile of Atlantic salmon. These changes can be helpful tools in diagnosis for fish diseases and indicators for fish health. The present work aimed to identify local intestinal tissue responses and changes in plasma protein profiles of Atlantic salmon fed C. utilis yeast, SBM, or combined diets. Fish meal (FM) based diet was used as a control diet and the six experimental diets were: FM diet with 200 g/kg C. utilis (FM200CU) and five diets containing 200 g/kg SBM together with 0 (SBM group), 25, 50, 100 or 200 g/kg C. utilis (SBM25CU, SBM50CU, SBM100CU and SBM200CU groups, respectively). Intestine morphology of fish fed FM200CU where not affected whereas SBM group presented changes characteristic of SBMIE. Low inclusion of C. utilis in SBM diet showed a modulation of immune cell populations, but did not alleviate inflammatory symptom.

Project description:A recombinant C. utilis strain expressing Candida shehatae xylose reductase K275R/N277D (NADH-preferring), C. shehatae xylitol dehydrogenase and Pichia stipitis xylulokinase produce ethanol from xylose. Here, we report the transcriptional-profiling in the engineered C. utilis strain grown on xylose using DNA microarray. Transcriptome analysis indicated that expression of genes encoding the tricarboxylic acid cycle, respiration enzymes and the ethanol consumption were increased significantly when cells were cultivated on xylose. Gene expression in Candida utilis cells grown on glucose or xylose was measured at 10.5 and 24 hours, respectively. Two or three independent experiments were performed at each time for each experiment.

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:To gain insight into host-microbe interactions in a piglet model, a functional genomics approach has been applied to address the working hypothesis that transcriptionally regulated genes associated with promoting epithelial barrier function evolved as a defensive response to the intestinal microbiota. Cesarean-derived germfree (GF) newborn piglets were colonized with adult swine feces, and villus and crypt epithelial cell transcriptomes from colonized and GF neonatal piglets were compared using laser-capture microdissection and high-density porcine oligonucleotide microarray technology. Consistent with our hypothesis, results revealed that resident microbiota induces the expression of genes encoding proteins involved in promoting intestinal epithelial cell turnover and mucus biosynthesis and priming of the immune system. Furthermore, differential expression of genes associated with antigen presentation (SLA-7, B2M, TAP1 and TAPBP) demonstrates that microbiota induced immune responses using a distinct regulatory mechanism common for these genes. Intestinal microbiota stimulated interferon (IFN) receptor-mediated signaling cascade using signal transducer and activator of transcription-1 (STAT1), STAT2 and IFN regulatory factor-7 transcription factors to activate IFN-inducible genes. In addition, excessive inflammatory responses were prevented by activating RNA expression of inhibitory-kappa-B and Toll-interacting protein, along with downregulating the expression of a gene encoding GATA binding protein-1 consistent with the maintenance of intestinal homeostasis. This study supports the concept that the intestinal epithelium has evolved to maintain a physiological state of inflammation with respect to continuous microbial exposure, which serves to maintain tight intestinal barrier but prevent overt inflammatory responses that would compromise barrier function.

Project description:Iron is an essential metal for both animals and microbiota, and neonates and infants of humans and animals, in general, are at the risk of iron insufficient. However, excess dietary iron usually causes negative impacts on the host and microbiota. This study aimed to investigate over-loaded dietary iron supplementation on growth performance, the distribution pattern of iron in the gut lumen and the host, intestinal microbiota, and intestine gene expression profile of piglets. Sixty healthy weaning piglets were randomly assigned to six groups: fed with diets supplemented with ferrous sulfate monohydrate at the dose of 50ppm (Fe50 group), 100ppm (Fe100 group), 200ppm (Fe200 group), 500ppm (Fe500 group), and 800ppm (Fe800) for three weeks. The results indicated that increasing iron had no effects on growth performance but increased diarrheal risk and iron deposition in intestinal digesta, tissues of intestine and liver, and serum. High iron also reduced serum iron-binding capacity, apolipoprotein, and immunoglobin A. The RNA-sequencing analysis revealed that iron changed colonic gene expression profile, such as interferon gamma-signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 based anti-virus and bacteria gene network. Increasing iron also shifted cecal and colonic microbiota, such as reducing alpha diversity, Clostridiales and Lactobacillus reuteri, and increasing Lactobacillus and Lactobacillus amylovorus. Collectively, this study demonstrated that high dietary iron increased diarrheal incidence, changed intestinal immune response-associated gene expression, and shifts gut microbiota. The results would enhance our knowledge of iron effects on the gut and microbiome in piglets, and further contribute to understanding these aspects in humans.

Project description:The study investigated the impact of environment on the composition of the gut microbiota and mucosal immune development and function at gut surfaces in early and adult life. Piglets of similar genotype were reared in indoor and outdoor environments and in an experimental isolator facility. Mucosa-adherent microbial diversity in the pig ileum was characterized by sequence analysis of 16S rRNA gene libraries. Host-specific gene responses in gut ileal tissues to differences in microbial composition were investigated using Affymetrix microarray technology and Real-time PCR. Experiment Overall Design: Animals were reared on the sow at an outdoor or indoor facility. Additional piglets from the indoor facility were transferred to individual isolator units at 24 hours of age, and given a daily dose of antibiotic cocktail for the duration of the study. Piglets were weaned at day 28. From day 29 onwards, piglets were fed creep feed ad libitum. Ileal tissue samples were excised from N=6 piglets per group at day 5, 28 and 56.

Project description:We previously reported that a recombinant Candida utilis strain expressing a Candida shehatae xylose reductase K275R/N277D, a C. shehatae xylitol dehydrogenase, and xylulokinase from Pichia stipitis produced ethanol from xylose. However, its productivity was low. In this study, metabolomic (CE-TOF MS) and transcriptomic (microarray) analyses were performed to characterize xylose metabolism by the engineered C. utilis and to identify key genetic changes contributing to efficient xylose utilization. Metabolomic analysis revealed that the xylose-fermenting strain accumulated more pentose phosphate pathway intermediates, more NADH, and more glycolytic intermediates upstream of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate than wild-type. Transcriptomic analysis of the strain grown on xylose indicated a significant increase in expression of genes encoding tricarboxylic acid cycle enzymes, respiratory enzymes, and enzymes involved in ethanol oxidation. To decrease the NADH/NAD+ ratio and increase ethanol yield from the fermentation of xylose, ADH1 encoding NADH-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase was overexpressed. The resultant strain exhibited a 17% increase in ethanol production and a 22% decrease in xylitol accumulation relative to the control.

Project description:We demonstrated that a maternal antibiotic treatment can change intestinal development of the offspring piglets permanently by showing that maternal gestational antibiotic treatment affects intestinal development in offspring piglets for a period of at least seven weeks after the antibiotic treatment in the sows was finished. It was shown that immediately after birth the piglets from amoxicillin treated sows, showed upregulation of genes involved in processes related to ‘tight junctions’ and ‘immunoglobulins’. In addition, these piglets had significantly lower number of goblet cells. Together, this may lead to a gut wall that is more rapidly closed in piglets from amoxicillin treated sows, affecting the uptake of immunoglobulins and the intestinal development. Later in life, around weaning, gene expression and morphological data indicate that the crypts of piglets from amoxicillin treated sows deepen around weaning as an effect of the amoxicillin treatment which in combination with the upregulation of genes involved in cell cycle processes, ribosomal activity and protein degradation might imply that the intestinal development, the subsequent differentiation of cells or the timing of these processes was delayed by the maternal antibiotic treatment.
