Project description:Utilizing next-generation sequencing technology, combined with ChIP (Chromatin Immunoprecipitation) technology to analyze histone modification (acetylation) induced by butyrate and to map the epigenomic landscape of normal histone H3, H4 Cells were treated with 10 mM butyrate for 24 hr, The cells were scraped from the flask and homogenized with ice-cold Dounce homogenizer to release the nuclei. The collected nuclei were resuspended in digestion buffer and enzymatic shearing was performed. ChIP with anti H3, H4 and acetyl-H3 and acetyl-H4.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE15107: R1 mESC Exposed to Butyrate GSE15109: BG02 hESC Exposed to Butyrate GSE15110: H1 hESC Exposed to Butyrate Refer to individual Series
Project description:The goal of this study was to perform transcriptomics on vehicle-, UK5099-, Butyrate-, and UK5099+Butyrate-treated mouse prostate organoids. We used FACS to isolate basal cells from C57BL/6 mouse prostates and treated with small molecules for one week before harvesting for RNA-sequencing.
Project description:Beta cell dysfunction, caused by metabolic and inflammatory stress, contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes. Butyrate, produced by the gut microbiota, has shown beneficial effects on glucose metabolism and may directly affect beta cell function, but the mechanisms are poorly described. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of butyrate on IL-1β-induced β cell dysfunction. We showed that long-term exposure of mouse islets to non-cytotoxic concentrations of IL-1β impaired insulin secretion and content and reduced proliferation. This dysfunction was prevented when the islets were exposed to butyrate and butyrate alone also boosted insulin secretion. In contrast, butyrate further downregulated the proliferation. To get a better indication of mechanisms of actions we investigated the global mRNA expression profiles using RNA sequencing. Our results indicated that the protective effects of butyrate are associated with upregulation of secretion/transport-related genes and downregulation of inflammatory genes induced by IL-1β. In addition, several cell cycle related genes were strongly inhibited by butyrate. In conclusion, butyrate plays an essential role in supporting beta cell function under inflammatory conditions, suggesting a potential for therapeutic use in treatment and prevention of T2D.

Project description:The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of sodium butyrate enemas on the mucosal genes expression profiles of patients with an enterostomy.
Project description:Purpose: The aim of this study is to dissect if the microbiota-derived metabolite butyrate alters the transcriptome of antigen-activated CD8+ T cells. Methods: mRNA profiles from Ctrl and Butyrate-treated gBT-I were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicates, using Illumina GAIIx. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: Burrows–Wheeler Aligner (BWA) followed by ANOVA (ANOVA) and TopHat followed by Cufflinks. Results: The analysis of RNAseq data of Ctrl and Butyrate-treated gBT-I lead to ~2,000 differentially expressed genes (FDR < 0.05; fold change>2). GSEA enrichment analysis revealed enrichment of memory T cells signatures in gBT-I following butyrate-treatment (Sarkar et al., 2008). Conclusions: Our data shows that butyrate alters the transcriptome of effector CD8+ T cells, in particular their memory signature.
Project description:To assess the effect of sodium butyrate exposure on human ESC grown without culture support for self-renewal (I.e. without conditioned medium and added bFGF) - three groups were compared - H1 culture in feeder conditioned medium vs without conditioned medium in 0.2 mM sodium butyrate vs. grown in sodium butyrate for 4 passages followed by return to conditioned medium conditions for 3 passages. The three groups were grown in triplicate and compared on Agilent whole human genome array
Project description:An intergenic region found to be enriched from a genomic library under butyrate stress was overexpressed and challenged with butyrate (0.6%). The overexpression strain was compared to the plasmid control to determine the transcriptional changes due to overexpression and butyrate stress.
Project description:To assess the effect of sodium butyrate exposure on human ESC grown without culture support for self-renewal (I.e. without conditioned medium and added bFGF) in support of data generated on H1 hESC - two groups were compared - BG02 culture in feeder conditioned versus on sodium butyrate - in triplicate and compared on Agilent whole human genome array BG02 hESC were grown under two conitions - A. for 31 passages on Matrigel in feeder conditioned medium and B. for 29 passages on Matrigel in feeder conditioned medium followed by 20 passages in 0.2 mM sodium butyrate without conditioned medium and in human ES cell medium containing no added bFGF
