Project description:An early settlement of a complex gut microbiota can protect against gastro-intestinal dysbiosis, but the effects of neonatal microbiota colonization on the maturation of the porcine gastric mucosa are largely unknown. The transcriptome of the oxyntic mucosa of 12 caesarian-derived pigs previously associated with microbiota of different complexity was studied. Pigs received sow blood serum at birth (d0), 2 mL of starter microbiota (10^7 CFU of each Lactob. Amylovorus (LAM), Clostr. glycolicum, and Parabacteroides spp.) on d1-d3 of age and either a placebo inoculant (simple association, SA) or an inoculant consisting of diluted feces of an adult sow (complex association, CA) on d3-d4 of age. Then pigs were fed a moist diet . Gastric samples were obtained at on euthanised pigs at 2 weeks of age.
Project description:The human gut microbiota is crucial for degrading dietary fibres from the diet. However, some of these bacteria can also degrade host glycans, such as mucins, the main component of the protective gut mucus layer. Specific microbiota species and mucin degradation patterns are associated with inflammatory processes in the colon. Yet, it remains unclear how the utilization of mucin glycans affects the degradation of dietary fibres by the human microbiota. Here, we used three dietary fibres (apple pectin, β-glucan and xylan) to study in vitro the dynamics of colon mucin and dietary fibre degradation by the human faecal microbiota. The dietary fibres showed clearly distinguishing modulatory effects on faecal microbiota composition. The utilization of colon mucin in cultures led to alterations in microbiota composition and metabolites. Metaproteome analysis showed the central role of the Bacteroides in degradation of complex fibres while Akkermansia muciniphila was the main degrader of colonic mucin. This work demonstrates the intricacy of complex glycan metabolism by the gut microbiota and how the utilization of host glycans leads to alterations in the metabolism of dietary fibres. Metaproteomics analysis of this data reveals the functional activities of the bacteria in consortia, by this contributing to a better understanding of the complex metabolic pathways within the human microbiota that can be manipulated to maximise beneficial microbiota-host interactions. In this study two different mucin samples were used: commercial porcine gastric mucin and in house prepared porcine colonic mucin. This dataset analyses the proteome of: A) autoclaved porcine colonic mucin; B) not autoclaved porcine colonic mucin; C) porcine gastric mucin.

Project description:tongue sole skin microbiota data
Project description:We aimed to understand the molecular basis of muscular development in tongue. We focused on the critical stages of tongue myogenesis, namely, E10.5 (settlement of myogenic progenitors in tongue primordium), E11.5 (initiation of myoblast differentiation with the development of lateral lingual swellings).
Project description:Opportunistic oral infections are ultimately presented in a vast majority of HIV-infected patients, often causing debilitating lesions that also contribute to deterioration in nutritional health. Although appreciation for the role that the microbiota is likely to play in the initiation and/or enhancement of oral infections has grown considerably in recent years, little is known about the impact of HIV infection on host-microbe interactions within the oral cavity. In the current study, we characterize modulations in the bacterial composition of the lingual microbiome in patients with treated and untreated HIV infection. Bacterial species profiles were elucidated by microarray assay and compared between untreated HIV infected patients, HIV infected patients receiving antiretroviral therapy, and healthy HIV negative controls. The relationship between clinical parameters (viral burden and CD4+ T cell depletion) and the loss or gain of bacterial species was evaluated in each HIV patient group. Characterization of modulations in the dorsal tongue (lingual) microbiota that are associated with chronic HIV infection.
