Project description:Background: The Scylla paramamosain is a very important aquaculture crustacean species in the southeast coastal areas of China including Shantou. For the past few years, mud crab cultured in Niutianyang of Shantou suffered from serious diseases, especially the bacterial diseases (such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus). In eukaryotes, small RNAs can regulate gene expression in post-transcription to act on host-pathogen interaction system. Aims: V.parahaemolyticus isolated from Shantou Niutianyang crab culture area was injected to S.paramamosains to carry out an essential analysis on global miRNA expression in diverse tissues between two groups by the Illumina Solex deep sequencing technology. Methodology:To examine the relationship between mud crab miRNA expression and the bacterial pathogen, we collected mixed two pools of equal amounts of RNA from 7 different mud crab tissues (mesenteron, heart, liver, gill, brain, muscle and blood) and sequencing by Illumine/Solexa deep sequencing technology under normal conditions and during infection with V.parahaemolyticus. The high throughput sequencing resulted in 19,144,358 and 18,559,070 raw reads corresponding to 17,496,577 and 16,888,096 high-quality mappable reads for the normal and infected mixed pools, respectively. Stem-loop RT-qPCRs were used to confirm the microRNAs expression in different tissues of two pools. The results show that miRNAs might play a key role in regulating gene expression during mud crab S.paramamosain infection with V.parahaemolyticus. Conclusions: We identified a large number of miRNAs during the mud crab Scylla paramamosain infection with V.parahaemolyticus, some of which are differentially expressed between the treatments and the controls. The study provides an opportunity for further understanding of small RNA function in the regulation of molecular response and gives us clues for further studies of the mechanisms of V.parahaemolyticus infection in mud crab.

Project description:Purpose:The mud crab Scylla paramamosain is an economically important marine crab in China suffering from severe outbreaks of infectious disease caused by marine bacteria such as Vibrio Parahaemolyticus, resulting in great economic losses. However, the mechanisms involved in the immune response of this crab to bacterial infection are not fully understood. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the immune response to such pathogenic bacteria, we used high-throughput deep sequencing technology to investigate the transcriptome and comparative expression profiles of the mud crab S.paramamosain infected with V.parahaemolyticus. Methods: The hemocytes sampled at 0-24h after infection with V.parahaemolyticus were used for transcriptome analysis. The hemocytes sampled at 24 h after injections with V.parahaemolyticus and no injected 0h(as control) were used for gene expression profiling analysis. Results: A total of 52,934,042 reads were obtained and assembled into 186,193 contigs in transcriptional responses of the V.parahaemolyticus-infected mud crab. Via annotation to the NCBI database and the Swissprot database, we obtained 48,934 identified unigenes. In total, 10,139(20.7%) unigenes were classified into Gene Ontology, and 25,349 unigenes were found in 20 KEGG categories. These genes included representatives from almost all functional categories. By using Solexa/Illumina's DeepSAGE, 1213 differentially expressed genes (P value < 0.05) were detected in comparative analysis of the expression profiles between V.parahaemolyticus-infected crabs and control crabs, including 538 remarkably upregulated genes and 675 remarkably downregulated genes. Conclusions: Based on our results, we conclude that the inflammatory response may play an important role in the early stages of infection. The signaling cascades such as the chemokine, JAK-STAT, and MAPK pathways are regulated by V.parahaemolyticus infection. These results revealed changes of multiple signaling pathways involved in immunity during V.parahaemolyticus infection, which will facilitate our comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms involved in the immune response to bacterial infection in the mud crab.

Project description:Gut microbiome research is rapidly moving towards the functional characterization of the microbiota by means of shotgun meta-omics. Here, we selected a cohort of healthy subjects from an indigenous and monitored Sardinian population to analyze their gut microbiota using both shotgun metagenomics and shotgun metaproteomics. We found a considerable divergence between genetic potential and functional activity of the human healthy gut microbiota, in spite of a quite comparable taxonomic structure revealed by the two approaches. Investigation of inter-individual variability of taxonomic features revealed Bacteroides and Akkermansia as remarkably conserved and variable in abundance within the population, respectively. Firmicutes-driven butyrogenesis (mainly due to Faecalibacterium spp.) was shown to be the functional activity with the higher expression rate and the lower inter-individual variability in the study cohort, highlighting the key importance of the biosynthesis of this microbial by-product for the gut homeostasis. The taxon-specific contribution to functional activities and metabolic tasks was also examined, giving insights into the peculiar role of several gut microbiota members in carbohydrate metabolism (including polysaccharide degradation, glycan transport, glycolysis and short-chain fatty acid production). In conclusion, our results provide useful indications regarding the main functions actively exerted by the gut microbiota members of a healthy human cohort, and support metaproteomics as a valuable approach to investigate the functional role of the gut microbiota in health and disease.

Project description:Morphine and its pharmacological derivatives are the most prescribed analgesics for moderate to severe pain management. However, chronic use of morphine reduces pathogen clearance and induces bacterial translocation across the gut barrier. The enteric microbiome has been shown to play a critical role in the preservation of the mucosal barrier function and metabolic homeostasis. Here, we show for the first time, using bacterial 16s rDNA sequencing, that chronic morphine treatment significantly alters the gut microbial composition and induces preferential expansion of the gram-positive pathogenic and reduction of bile-deconjugating bacterial strains. A significant reduction in both primary and secondary bile acid levels was seen in the gut, but not in the liver with morphine treatment. Morphine induced microbial dysbiosis and gut barrier disruption was rescued by transplanting placebo-treated microbiota into morphine-treated animals, indicating that microbiome modulation could be exploited as a therapeutic strategy for patients using morphine for pain management. In this study, we establish a link between the two phenomena, namely gut barrier compromise and dysregulated bile acid metabolism. We show for the first time that morphine fosters significant gut microbial dysbiosis and disrupts cholesterol/bile acid metabolism. Changes in the gut microbial composition is strongly correlated to disruption in host inflammatory homeostasis13,14 and in many diseases (e.g. cancer/HIV infection), persistent inflammation is known to aid and promote the progression of the primary morbidity. We show here that chronic morphine, gut microbial dysbiosis, disruption of cholesterol/bile acid metabolism and gut inflammation; have a linear correlation. This opens up the prospect of devising minimally invasive adjunct treatment strategies involving microbiome and bile acid modulation and thus bringing down morphine-mediated inflammation in the host.

Project description:Human DNA present in fecal samples can result in a small number of human reads in gut shotgun metagenomic sequencing data. However, it is currently unclear how much personal information can be reconstructed from such reads and this has not been quantitatively evaluated. Such a quantitative evaluation is necessary to clarify the ethical concerns related to data sharing and to enable the efficient use of human genetic information in stool samples, such as for research and forensics. Here, we used genomic approaches to reconstruct personal information from fecal metagenomes of 343 Japanese individuals with associated human genotype data. Our approach can be used to quantify the personal information contained within gut metagenome data.

Project description:The gut microbiota is closely associated with digestion, metabolism, immunity, and host health. The imbalance of the microbial community in livestock directly affects their well-being and, consequently, productivity. The composition and diversity of the gut microbiota are influenced not only by host genetics but also by environmental factors such as the microbial complexity of the rearing environment, feeds, and antibiotics. Here, we focus on the comparison of gut microbial communities in miniature pigs developed for xenotransplantation in specific pathogen-free (SPF) and conventional (non-SPF) facilities. To identify the disparities in gut microbial composition and functionality between these two environments, 16S RNA metagenome sequencing was conducted using fecal samples. The results revealed that the non-SPF pigs had higher gut microbiota diversity than the SPF pigs. The genera Streptococcus and Ruminococcus were more abundant in SPF pigs than in non-SPF pigs. Blautia, Bacteroides, and Roseburia were exclusively observed in SPF pigs, whereas Prevotella was exclusively found in non-SPF pigs. Carbohydrate and nucleotide metabolism, as well as environmental information processing, were predicted to be enriched in SPF pigs. In addition, energy and lipid metabolism, along with processes related to genetic information, cellular communication, and diseases, were predicted to be enriched in non-SPF pigs. This study makes an important contribution to elucidating the impact of environments harboring a variety of microorganisms, including pathogens, on the gut microbiota of miniature pigs. Furthermore, we sought to provide foundational data on the characteristics of the gut microbiota in genetically modified pigs, which serve as source animals for xenotransplantation.
