Project description:Probiotic bacteria, specific representatives of bacterial species that are a common part of the human microbiota, are proposed to deliver health benefits to the consumer by modulation of intestinal function via largely unknown molecular mechanisms. To explore in vivo mucosal responses of healthy adults to probiotics, we obtained transcriptomes in an intervention study following a double-blind placebo-controlled cross-over design. In the mucosa of the proximal small intestine of healthy volunteers, probiotic strains from the species Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. casei and L. rhamnosus each induced differential gene regulatory networks and pathways in the human mucosa. Comprehensive analyses revealed that these transcriptional networks regulate major basal mucosal processes, and uncovered remarkable similarity to response profiles obtained for specific bioactive molecules and drugs. This study elucidates how intestinal mucosa of healthy humans perceive different probiotics and provides avenues for rationally designed tests of clinical applications. Keywords: mucosal response of healthy adult humans to lactic acid bacteria This study was set up according to a randomised double-blind cross-over placebo-controlled design. It contains transcriptional profiles from biopsies from 7 healthy individuals after oral intake of three different Lactobacillus species or placebo control. In total, this study includes data from 7 individuals x 4 treatments=28 arrays.

Project description:In animal production, the use of probiotics supplements to promote animal health is increasing. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of probiotics administration on global gene expression in dairy cows. Lactating Holstein-Friesian cows (n=10) from the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University dairy herd were used for the study. Treatment was a 50 ml oral drench of FASTtrak microbial pack (Probiotics) (Conklin Company, Kansas City, MO) at the recommended dose in sterile endotoxin-free water or sterile endotoxin-free water only (control). This treatment was carried out for 60 days. Whole blood was collected at the beginning (Day 0) and end of the study (Day 60) for microarray analysis. We employed microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify genes with potential association with probiotics supplementation in cows. Gene expression analysis identified 10,859 differentially expressed genes- 1168 upregulated genes and 9691 downregulated gene. Results for pathway analysis showed significant pathways associated with innate immunity such as the Toll-like receptor (TLR) pathway, inflammation response and Wingless (Wnt) signaling pathway. Real-time PCR was used to validate the expression of the Wnt signaling pathway and immune response genes. Probiotic treatment impacted global gene expression, and particularly, the expression of immune response and Wnt signaling pathway genes. Oral administration of probiotics to dairy cows impacts global gene expression and particularly the expression of innate immune genes in dairy cows.

Project description:The effect of nitrate reduction (anaerobic cultivation in the presence of heme, vitamin K2 and nitrate) was compared with anaerobic cultivation supplemented with citrate (Lactobacillus plantarum). The medium was chemically defined medium with mannitol as main carbon source Two-condition experiment, nitrate vs citrate reducing cells. Biological replicates: 4 nitrate reducing cultures, 4 citrate reducing cultures, independently grown and harvested. Two slides were used, each slide contained 8 Arrays. Citrate reducing cultures are called reactor 1-4, Nitrate reducing cultures are called reactor A-D

Project description:Competition among nitrate reducing bacteria (NRB) and sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) for resources in anoxic environments is generally thought to be governed largely by thermodynamics. It is now recognized that intermediates of nitrogen and sulfur cycling (e.g., hydrogen sulfide, nitrite, etc.) can also directly impact NRB and SRB activities in freshwater, wastewater and sediment, and therefore may play important roles in competitive interactions. Here, using Intrasporangium calvum C5 as a model NRB, we performed comparative transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses to demonstrate that the reduced sulfur compounds cysteine and sulfide differentially inhibit respiratory growth on nitrate, and that inhibition by each can be selectively relieved by a specific carbon source. These findings provide mechanistic insights into the interplay and stratification of NRBs and SRBs in diverse environments.

Project description:Epithelial cells in the intestinal mucosa maintain gut homeostasis by interacting with different types of microbiota. Proper appropriate immune responses in the intestinal epithelium are essential for the preservation of the intestinal homeostasis. In the present study, we aimed to identify genotypic and phenotypic changes in mice following oral feeding of various substances which has been shown to differentially affect intestinal homeostasis. We orally fed C57BL/6 mice for either one or seven days with one of the four substances: dextran sulfate sodium (DSS); Typhoid VI Polysaccharide vaccine (Vi vaccine); antibiotic cocktails (AB) of ampicillin, vancomycin, neomycin, and metronidazole; or(probiotics)consisting of Lactobacillus Rhamnosus R0011and L. Acidophilus R0052.While DSS and AB feeding resulted in severe gut pathology characterized by infiltration of inflammatory cells, epithelium shedding, and distortion of paneth cells. Vi vaccine and probiotics feeding resulted in phenotypic improvement of the gut health characterized by epithelial cell proliferation and increased formation of tight junctions between epithelial cells. Interestingly, microarray data showed significant increase in the expression levels of genes regulating cell proliferation and intestinal homeostasis in the gut epithelium of probiotics-and Vi vaccine-fed mice compared to DSS-or AB-fed mice. In addition, expression levels of genes regulating cell death and inflammation were significantly increased in the gut epithelium of DSS- and AB-fed mice. These results suggest that intestinal homeostasis play a pivotal role in maintaining gut health and, subsequently, in protecting host against enteric bacteria and external pathogens infection.
