Project description:The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that replenishing the microbiota with a fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) can rescue a host from an advanced stage of sepsis. We developed a clinically-relevant mouse model of lethal polymicrobial gut-derived sepsis in mice using a 4-member pathogen community (Candida albicans, Klebsiella oxytoca, Serratia marcescens, Enterococcus faecalis) isolated from a critically ill patient. In order to mimic pre-operative surgical patient condition mice were exposed to food restriction and antibiotics. Approximately 18 hours prior to surgery food was removed from the cages and the mice were allowed only tap water. Each mouse received an intramuscular Cefoxitin injection 30 minutes prior to the incision at a concentration of 25 mg/kg into the left thigh. Mice were then subjected to a midline laparotomy, 30% hepatectomy of the left lateral lobe of the liver and a direct cecal inoculation of 200 µL of the four pathogen community. On postoperative day one, the mice were administered rectal enema. Mice were given either 1 ml of fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) or an autoclaved control (AC). This was again repeated on postoperative day two. Mice were then followed for mortality. Chow was restored to the cages on postoperative day two, approximately 45 hours after the operation. The injection of fecal microbiota transplant by enema significantly protected mice survival, reversed the composition of gut microflora and down-regulated the host inflammatory response. The cecum, left lobe of the liver, and spleen were isolated from mice for microarray processing with three or more replicates for six expermental conditions: non-treated control, SAHC POD1, SAHC.AC POD2, SAHC.FMT POD2, SAHC.AC POD7, SAHC.FMT POD7

Project description:Lean nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly recognized as a distinct clinical phenotype with limited evidence for effective non-pharmacological interventions and unclear mechanistic pathways. Aerobic exercise is recommended for NAFLD management; however, its effects and the gut microbiota–associated mechanisms in lean NAFLD remain incompletely understood. This dataset was generated from a randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04882644). Participants assigned to the aerobic exercise intervention group provided fecal samples at baseline and after the 3-month intervention. A total of 33 paired fecal samples were included in this dataset. Gut microbiota profiles were generated using shotgun metagenomic sequencing. The dataset includes processed and de-identified species-level relative abundance tables derived from fecal samples collected before and after the intervention. These data were used to characterize exercise-induced alterations in gut microbial composition and interindividual variability in microbiota responses to aerobic exercise in lean NAFLD. The data support integrative analyses with clinical phenotypes and circulating metabolomic profiles to explore gut microbiota–associated mechanisms underlying the metabolic benefits of aerobic exercise.

Project description:Orangutans have a slow life history with one of the longest interbirth intervals and the lowest reported infant mortality rates among primates or even mammals. Breastfeeding is a key factor in their life history because it possibly promotes offspring health and increases maternal interbirth intervals. However, quantifying milk intake is difficult, and existing estimates for their weaning age are contradictory. In this study, we use fecal proteomics to predict the breastfeeding and weaning patterns in wild Bornean orangutans in Danum Valley, Sabah, Malaysia. Age changes in milk-specific proteins identified from 20 feces of five immature individuals revealed that the orangutans in Danum Valley consistently consumed milk for ≥6.5 years after birth, consistent with the behavioral evidence as having one of the longest breastfeeding periods in mammals. Milk intake was significantly correlated with higher levels of biological defense and probiotic bacterial proteins. Mothers were not pregnant with their next offspring during the breastfeeding period. These results indicate that a continuous and long breastfeeding period is a key component of the slow life history of orangutans and shows that fecal proteomics can be applied to a wide range of wild animal populations, with the potentials to uncover novel aspects of behavior and physiology.

Project description:Lean nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasingly recognized as a distinct clinical phenotype with limited evidence for effective non-pharmacological interventions and unclear mechanistic pathways. Aerobic exercise is recommended for NAFLD management, yet its effects and underlying gut microbiota–mediated mechanisms in lean NAFLD remain insufficiently characterized. This study is based on a randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT04882644) in which 100 adults with lean NAFLD were randomly assigned to a 3-month aerobic exercise intervention or usual care. 63 paired fecal samples were collected at baseline and after intervention. Gut microbiota profiles were generated using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The dataset includes processed taxonomic abundance tables derived from fecal samples collected before and after the intervention. These data were used to characterize exercise-induced alterations in gut microbial diversity, composition, and functional potential, and to explore interindividual heterogeneity in microbiota responses to aerobic exercise in lean NAFLD. The microbiome data deposited in this series support integrative analyses with clinical phenotypes and circulating metabolomic profiles, aiming to elucidate gut microbiota–associated mechanisms underlying the metabolic benefits of aerobic exercise in lean NAFLD.

Project description:Complex oligosaccharides found in human milk play a vital role in gut microbiome development for the human infant. Bovine milk oligosaccharides (BMO) have similar structures with those derived from human milk, but have not been well studied for their effects on the healthy adult human gut microbiome. Healthy human subjects consumed BMO over two-week periods at two different doses and provided fecal samples. Metatranscriptomics of fecal samples was conducted to determine microbial and host gene expression in response to the supplement. Fecal samples were also analyzed by mass spectrometry to determine levels of undigested BMO. No changes were observed in microbiome activity across all participants. Repeated sampling enabled subject-specific analyses: four of six participants had minor, yet statistically significant, changes in microbial activity. No significant change was observed in the gene expression of host cells in stool. Levels of BMO excreted in feces after supplementation were not significantly different from placebo and were not correlated with dosage or expressed microbial enzyme levels. Collectively, these data suggest that BMO is fully digested in the human gastrointestinal tract prior to stool collection. Participants’ gut microbiomes remained stable but varied between individuals. Additionally, the unaltered host transcriptome provides further evidence for the safety of BMO as a dietary supplement or food ingredient.

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:Rationale: Recent studies suggest a potential link between gut bacterial microbiota dysbiosis and PAH, but the exact role of gut microbial communities, including bacteria, archaea, and fungi, in PAH remains unclear. Objectives: To investigate the role of gut microbiota dysbiosis in idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (IPAH) and to assess the therapeutic potential of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in modulating PAH progression. Methods: Using shotgun metagenomics, we analyzed gut microbial communities in IPAH patients and healthy controls. FMT was performed to transfer gut microbiota from IPAH patients or MCT-PAH rats to normal rats and from healthy rats to MCT-PAH rats. Hemodynamic measurements, echocardiography, histological examination, metabolomic and RNA-seq analysis were conducted to evaluate the effects of FMT on PAH phenotypes. Measurements and Main Results: Gut microbiota analysis revealed significant alterations in the bacterial, archaeal, and fungal communities in IPAH patients compared to healthy controls. FMT from IPAH patients induced PAH phenotypes in recipient rats. Conversely, FMT from healthy rats to IPAH rats significantly ameliorated PAH symptoms, restored gut microbiota composition, and normalized serum metabolite profiles. Specific microbial species were identified with high diagnostic potential for IPAH, improving predictive performance beyond individual or combined microbial communities. Conclusions: This study establishes a causal link between gut microbiota dysbiosis and IPAH and demonstrates the therapeutic potential of FMT in reversing PAH phenotypes. The findings highlight the critical role of bacterial, archaeal, and fungal communities in PAH pathogenesis and suggest that modulation of the gut microbiome could be a promising treatment strategy for PAH.
