Project description:We recruited 24 Mongolian volunteers,6 of which were T2D cases(sample T1-T6), 6 were prediabetes cases(sample P1-P6), and 12 were health cases(sample C1-C12). The metagenomic analysis of gut microbiota from the volunteers’ fecal samples was performed. We compared the microbial differences in the three groups, and analyzed the differences of the stool microbial function.

Project description:The deleterious fluoride ions, which released from fluoride in uranium during its bioleaching, strongly influenced microbial growth, energy intake, enzyme activity and relative metabolism. Whole-genome microarrays were used to obtain a comprehensive description of the molecular response by A. ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 at 4.8 mM fluoride stress. The experimental group was introduced 4mM fluoride at the mid-log phase. RNA from control samples were compared to the experimental samples taken at 10, 30, 60, 120 and 240 min after fluoride added. It was used to analyze the genome-wide expression profiling at different time after fluoride was introduced.

Project description:Global warming substantially changes precipitation patterns in the Tibetan plateau, with projection of increased precipitation in southern and northern Tibet but decreased precipitation in the center. Understanding mechanisms of such changes in greenhouse gas emissions is of vital importance in predicting ecosystem feedbacks to climate changes. Nonetheless, it has been hampered by limited knowledge in soil microbial communities, one of the major drivers of greenhouse gas emission. Here, we report a field experiment simulating drying and wetting conditions in the Tibetan grassland. Our field site is located at the Haibei Alpine Grassland Ecosystem Research Station in the northeast of Tibet Plateau, China, and we employed GeoChip 5.0 180K to analyze microbial responses. 18 samples were collected from 3 plots in Haibei Station, with 6 replicates in each plot

Project description:Background and aims: Gene mutations or variants leading to insufficient reactive oxygen species (ROS) production have been associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In particular, 40-50% of patients with chronic granulomatous disease have IBD (CGD-IBD). CGD is caused by inherited defects in any one of the 5 subunits forming the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex 2 (NOX2), leading to severely reduced or absent phagocyte-derived ROS production. While conventional IBD therapies can treat CGD-IBD, their benefits must be weighed against the risk of infection in this immune compromised population. Understanding the impact of NOX2 defects on the composition and function of the intestinal microbiota may lead to the identification of treatments for CGD-IBD. Methods: We evaluated GI symptom and quality of life scores, and clinical biomarkers of local (i.e. fecal occult blood and calprotectin) and systemic (i.e. CBC, CRP, ESR, and albumin) inflammation in a cohort of 79 patients with CGD, 8 mutation carriers and 17 healthy controls followed at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). We profiled the intestinal microbiome by 16S rRNA (V4 region) sequencing and the stool metabolome by mass spectrometry in all fecal samples, and further validated our findings by profiling the stool microbiome in a second cohort of 36 patients with CGD recruited from 11 centers across North-America through the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC). Predictive functional profiling of the microbial communities based on 16S rRNA sequencing was also performed. Results: After controlling for significant variables, we show decreased alpha diversity and identified distinct intestinal microbiome and metabolomic profiles in patients with CGD compared to healthy individuals. In particular, we observed enrichment for Erysipelatoclostridium spp., Sellimonas spp. and Lachnoclostridium spp. in stool samples from patients with CGD. Despite differences in alpha and beta diversity in samples from the NIH compared to the PIDTC cohort, there were several bacterial taxa that correlated significantly between both cohorts. We further demonstrate that patients with active IBD and/or a history of IBD have a distinct microbiome and metabolomic profile compared to patients without CGD-IBD and identified bacterial taxa to be evaluated as potential markers of disease severity, as well as targets for future therapeutic interventions. Conclusions: Intestinal microbiome and metabolomic signatures distinguished patients with CGD and CGD-IBD and identified microbial and metabolomic candidates to be further evaluated as potential targets to improve the management of patients with CGD-IBD.

Project description:Up to date, most metaproteomic studies of the gut microbiota describe the use of stool sample pretreatment methods to enrich for microbial components. However, a specific investigation aimed at assessing if, how and to what extent this may impact on the final taxonomic and functional results is still lacking. Here, stool replicates were either pretreated by differential centrifugation (DC) or not centrifuged (NC). Protein extracts were then processed by filter-aided sample preparation, single-run LC and high-resolution MS, and the metaproteomic data were compared by spectral counting. DC led to a higher number of identifications, a significantly richer microbial diversity, as well as to reduced information on the non-microbial components (host and food) when compared to NC. Nevertheless, dramatic differences in the relative abundance of many gut microbial taxa were also observed, including a significant change in the Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio. Furthermore, several microbial functional categories, including cell surface enzymes, membrane-associate proteins, and flagella, were significant reduced after DC. In conclusion, this work underlines that a critical evaluation is needed when selecting the appropriate stool sample processing protocol in the context of a metaproteomic study, depending on the specific target to which the research is aimed.

Project description:Samples of oil and production water were collected from five wells of the Qinghai Oilfield, China, and subjected to GeoChip hybridization experiments for microbial functional diversity profiling. Unexpectedly, a remarkable microbial diversity in oil samples, which was higher than that in the corresponding water samples, was observed, thus challenging previously believed assumptions about the microbial diversity in this ecosystem. Hierarchical clustering separated oil and water samples, thereby indicating distinct functional structures in the samples. Genes involved in the degradation of hydrocarbons, organic remediation, stress response, and carbon cycling were significantly abundant in crude oil, which is consistent with their important roles in residing in oil. Association analysis with environmental variables suggested that oil components comprising aromatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic hydrocarbons, and a polar fraction with nitrogen-, sulfur-, and oxygen-containing compounds were mainly influential on the structure of the microbial community. Furthermore, a comparison of microbial communities in oil samples indicated that the structures were depth/temperature-dependent. To our knowledge, this is the first thorough study to profile microbial functional diversity in crude oil samples. From the Qinghai Oilfield located in the Tibetan Plateau, northwest China, oil production mixtures were taken from four oil production wells (No. 813, 516, 48 and 27) and one injection well (No. 517) in the Yue-II block. The floating oil and water phases of the production mixtures were separated overnight by gravitational separation. Subsequently, the microbial community and the characteristics of the water solution (W813, W516, W48, and W27) and floating crude oil (O813, O516, O48, and O27) samples were analyzed. A similar analysis was performed with the injection water solution (W517).

Project description:Cancer-associated IDH mutations are characterized by neomorphic enzyme activity and resultant 2 hydroxyglutarate (2HG) production. Mutational and epigenetic profiling of a large AML patient cohort revealed that IDH1/2-mutant AMLs display global DNA hypermethylation and a specific hypermethylation signature. Furthermore, expression of 2HG-producing IDH alleles in cells rapidly induced global DNA hypermethylation. In the AML cohort, IDH1/2 mutations were mutually exclusive with mutations in the α-ketoglutarate-dependent enzyme TET2, and TET2 loss-of function mutations associated with similar epigenetic defects as IDH1/2 mutants. Consistent with these genetic and epigenetic data, expression of IDH mutants impaired TET2 catalytic function in cells. Finally, either expression of mutant IDH1/2 or Tet2 depletion impaired hematopoietic differentiation and increased stem cell marker expression, suggesting a shared pro-leukemogenic effect.
