Project description:Results of RNA-seq of normal C57BL/6 small intestinal epithelial cells sorted from duodenum, jejunum and ileum separately. Samples are named as follow; mouse replicate number-duodenum(1), jejunum(2) or ileum(3). For example, 1-1, 1-2 and 1-3 representing duodenum, jejunum and ileum respectively from mouse replicate number 1.
Project description:The small intestinal crypts harbour secretory Paneth cells (PCs), which express bactericidal peptides that are crucial for maintaining intestinal homeostasis. Considering the diverse environmental conditions throughout the course of the small intestine, multiple subtypes of PCs are expected to exist. We applied single cells RNA-sequencing of PCs combined with deep bulk RNA-sequencing on PC populations of different locations (duodenum, jejunum, ileum) and discovered several expression-based clusters. Some of these are discrete and resemble tuft cell-like PCs, goblet cell-like PCs, PCs expressing stem cell markers, and senescent PCs. Other clusters are less discrete, but based on bulk RNA-seq appear to be derived from different locations along the small intestinal tract. Furthermore, a comprehensive spatial analysis was conducted using the Resolve bioscience technique, identifying different PCs clusters along the small intestine, but not along the crypts themselves.
Project description:Affymetrix U95Av2 expression data from human intestinal cells (Caco-2) and tissues from all intestinal segments (duodenum, jejunum, ileum, colon). Entries contain the search terms glycosylase, phosphorylase, cytochrome or nucleoside, which were relevant to our search for enzymes capable of cleaving the N-glycosidic bond of nucleoside analog drugs.
Project description:We aimed to investigate the effects of maternal heat stress on the expression of differentilally expressed genes in th placenta, fetal duodenum and jejunum
Project description:To establish better understanding of cells found in jejunal and ileal Peyer's patches of pigs, we utilized single-cell RNA sequencing scRNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics to recover and analyze cells and spatial regions from sections of jejunum and ileum containing Peyer's patches. Cells identified via single-cell RNA sequencing included B, T/innate lymphoid cell, myeloid, epithelial, and stromal lineage cells. Spatial dots recovered via spatial transcriptomics belonged to regions including villi, crypts, interfollicular/parafollicular zones, follicles, and muscularis. Overall, results provide new information on regional localization and transcriptional profiles of cells in the pig small intestine.
Project description:Rationale: Sepsis is a multi-organ disease affecting the ileum and jejunum (small intestine),liver, skeletal muscle, and lung clinically. Recently, specific alterations in circulating metabolites have been found in patients with sepsis which are thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of disease. The specific metabolic changes in the ileum, jejunum, liver, skeletal muscle, and lung have not previously been investigated. Methods: Live Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from a patient was given via IV catheter to pigs to induce severe sepsis. Eighteen hours later, ileum, jejunum, medial gastrocnemius skeletal muscle, liver, and lung were harvested and flash frozen. Tissues were subsequently processed for non-targeted metabolomics analysis using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Results: After 18 hours of sepsis, the ileum and the liver demonstrated significant changes in metabolites involved in linoleic acid metabolism, the ileum and lung had significant changes in valine/leucine/isoleucine metabolism, the jejunum, skeletal muscle, and liver had significant changes in arginine/ proline metabolism, and the skeletal muscle and lung had significant changes in aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis by pathway analysis. Pathway analysis also identified changes in metabolic pathways unique for different tissues, including changes in the citric acid cycle (jejunum), beta-alanine metabolism (skeletal muscle), and purine metabolism (liver). Conclusion: These findings demonstrate both overlapping metabolic pathways affected in different tissues and those that are unique to others and provide insight into the metabolic changes in sepsis leading to organ dysfunction. This may allow therapeutic interventions that focus on multiple tissues or single tissues once the relationship of the altered metabolites/metabolism to the underlying pathogenesis of sepsis is determined.
