Project description:Gemcitabine treatment shifts the intestinal microbiota of PC mice towards an inflammatory profile which may worsen mucositis and side effects observed upon chemotherapy. We explored the effect of a specific probiotics blend administered, with or without gemcitabine treatment, to PC xenografted mice.
Project description:This study aimed to explore the changes in miRNAome in the rumen epithelium during diet transition from forage to high-grain and the modulation through supplementation with phytogenic feed additives (PHY).
Project description:Feed additives aiming to improve gastrointestinal health are frequently supplied to piglets after weaning but might be more effective when administered before weaning. In this period, feed additives can either be administered directly to neonates, or indirectly via sow’s feed. It is yet unknown what the effect of the administration route is on gut functionality and health. Therefore, we compared the effect of different dietary interventions on gut functionality after maternal administration (lactation feed) to the neonatal administration route (oral gavage). These feed interventions included medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), beta-glucans (BG), and galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS). We measured intestinal gene expression and microbiota composition after birth (d1) and after weaning (d31). Our results show that the type of intervention and the administration route influence gut functionality (microbiome and gene expression profiles). MCFA administration led to a more differentially orchestrated response when comparing the neonatal and maternal administration route then the other two additives, indicating the route of administration of the feed interventions is determinative for the outcome. This implies that for each nutritional intervention in early life of a pig the optimal route of administration needs to be determined.
Project description:Purpose:Our data significantly advance understanding of Probiotics and Fructooligosaccharide regulatory mechanism in ileum of Taiping chicken Methods: Using RNA-seq analysis to study the gene expression in ileum tissue after Taiping chicken was given Probiotics and Fructooligosaccharide Results: A total of 164,629,826 and 149,883,266 raw reads were generated from the CT and MP_ FOS, respectively . After removing the interference data, about 164,028,872 and 149,364,852 clean reads were obtained Conclusions: through high-throughput sequencing of the six libraries from ileum of Taiping chicken, the expression level of mRNA has significant changes after given probiotics
Project description:This study aimed to explore the changes in global gene expression in the epithelial transcriptome during diet transition from forage to high-grain and the modulation through supplementation with phytogenic feed additives (PHY).

Project description:Individual male broilers (Cobb500; n=16) were allotted to 4 experimental diets containing either no phytogenic feed additives, an essential oil blend, saponin extract or a combination of both phytogenic preparations. Liver samples were used for transcriptome profiling.
