Project description:The human intestinal microbiota may play a role in the development of overweight and obesity. However, associations between saliva microbiota and body mass index (BMI) have been sparsely studied, although the oral cavity is the major gateway for microbes into the body. The aim of this study was to identify associations between the saliva microbiota and BMI categories in Finnish children aged 9-14 years.

Project description:Whole blood gene expression profiling from well and malnourished Indian individuals with TB and severely malnourished household contacts with latent TB infection (LTBI). Severe malnutrition was defined as body mass index (BMI) <16. kg/m2 in adults and based on weight-for-height Z scores in children <18 years. Gene expression was measured using RNA-sequencing.

Project description:Human saliva microbiota is phylogenetically divergent among host individuals yet their roles in health and disease are poorly appreciated. We employed a microbial functional gene microarray, HuMiChip 1.0, to reconstruct the global functional profiles of human saliva microbiota from ten healthy and ten caries-active adults. Saliva microbiota in the pilot population featured a vast diversity of functional genes. No significant distinction in gene number or diversity indices was observed between healthy and caries-active microbiota. However, co-presence network analysis of functional genes revealed that caries-active microbiota was more divergent in non-core genes than healthy microbiota, despite both groups exhibited a similar degree of conservation at their respective core genes. Furthermore, functional gene structure of saliva microbiota could potentially distinguish caries-active patients from healthy hosts. Microbial functions such as Diaminopimelate epimerase, Prephenate dehydrogenase, Pyruvate-formate lyase and N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine amidase were significantly linked to caries. Therefore, saliva microbiota carried disease-associated functional signatures, which could be potentially exploited for caries diagnosis. The DMFT INDEX (Decayed, Missing, Filled [DMF] teeth index used in dental epidemiology) values are provided for each sample We employed a microbial functional gene microarray, HuMiChip 1.0, to reconstruct the global functional profiles of human saliva microbiota from ten healthy and ten caries-active adults.

Project description:Obesity and overweight are closely related to diet, and gut microbiota play an important role in body weight and human health. The aim of this study was to explore how Lactobacillus curvatus HY7601 and Lactobacillus plantarum KY1032 supplementation alleviate obesity by modulating the human gut microbiome. A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted on 72 overweight individuals. Over a 12-week period, probiotic groups consumed 5×10^9 colony-forming units of HY7601 and KY1032), whereas the placebo group consumed the same product without probiotics. After treatment, the probiotic group displayed a reduction in body weight (p <0.001), visceral fat mass (p <0.025), and waist circumference (p <0.007), and an increase in adiponectin (p <0.046), compared with the placebo group. Additionally, HY7601 and KY1032 supplementation modulated bacterial gut microbiota characteristics and beta diversity by increasing Bifidobacteriaceae and Akkermansiaceae, and decreasing Prevotellaceae and Selenomonadaceae. In summary, HY7601 and KY1032 probiotics exert anti-obesity effects by regulating the gut microbiota; hence, they have therapeutic potential for preventing or alleviating obesity and overweight.

Project description:We used 16S V3/V4 region amplification to evaluate the composition of bacteria species in mouse fecal pellets. Fecel pellets were collected from young-adult (12 weeks old) wild type C57Bl/6 mice and aged (72 weeks old) wild type C57Bl/6 mice after 21 days of vehicle or antibiotics treatment (to induce gut microbiota depletion). In one sequencing round, we sequenced a total of 12 different fecal samples (3 young control, 3 aged control, 3 young depleted gut microbiota (ABX) and 3 aged depleted gut microbiota (ABX)). Amplicons were indexed using the Nextera XT Index Kit and pooled into a library for Illumina sequencing.

Project description:Comparison of transcript abundance estimates and bioinformatic inferences derived from DBS vs PAXgene vs peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) samples. Gene expression profiling was conducted using parallel collection and assay of venipuncture samples (PAXgene and PBMC) and DBS samples. Data come from 83 community dwelling adults recruited from the Chicago metropolitan area. In addition to basic demographic characteristics (age, sex, race/ethnicity), participants were also assessed on health-related characteristics (body mass index/BMI; history of smoking or heavy alchol consumption), and educational attainment (z-score transformed). Categorial variables were coded 0=no/absent and 1=yes/present.

Project description:Sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) colonize the guts of ~50% of humans. We used genome-wide transposon mutagenesis and insertion-site sequencing (INSeq), RNA-Seq, plus mass spectrometry to characterize genetic and environmental factors that impact the niche of Desulfovibrio piger, the most common SRB in a surveyed cohort of healthy USA adults. Gnotobiotic mice were colonized with an assemblage of sequenced human gut bacterial species with or without D. piger and fed diets with different levels and types of carbohydrates and sulfur sources. Diet was a major determinant of functions expressed by this artificial 9-member community and of the genes that impact D. piger fitness; the latter includes high- and low-affinity systems for utilizing ammonia, a limiting resource for D. piger in mice consuming a polysaccharide-rich diet. While genes involved in hydrogen consumption and sulfate reduction are necessary for its colonization, varying dietary free sulfate levels did not significantly alter levels of D. piger, which can obtain sulfate from the host in part via cross-feeding mediated by Bacteroides-encoded sulfatases. Chondroitin sulfate, a common dietary supplement, increased D. piger and H2S levels without compromising gut barrier integrity. A chondroitin sulfate-supplemented diet together with D. piger impacted the assemblage’s substrate utilization preferences, allowing consumption of more reduced carbon sources, and increasing the abundance of the H2-producing Actinobacterium, Collinsella aerofaciens. Our findings provide genetic and metabolic details of how this H2-consuming SRB shapes the responses of a microbiota to diet ingredients, and a framework for examining how individuals lacking D. piger differ from those that harbor it. 8 samples total, 2 gropus of 4 mice: Proximal colon gene expression profiles of gnotobiotic mice colonized with an artificial gut community composed of 8 human gut species (group 1: NoDp) and from mice colonized with the same community plus D. piger (Dp). Mice were fed a HF/HS diet supplemented with 3% chondroitin sulfate. Animals were sacrificed 2 weeks after colonization
