Global distribution of carrageenan foraging pathways reveals widespread latent traits within the genetic “dark matter” of ruminant intestinal microbiomes

ABSTRACT: Seaweeds represent a promising source of sustainable, alternative feed for livestock. Despite their increasing popularity in agriculture, the dietary fate of seaweed polysaccharides, such as carrageenan, is not known. Here, we applied metagenome-resolved metaproteomicfunctional microbiome analyses to discover catabolic enzymes from the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) microbiomes of ruminants specific for digestion of carrageenans from red seaweeds, such as Mazzaella japonica. Against the expectations of ruminal fermentation, M. japonica significantly instead increases Bacteroides abundance within the lower GIT, and while bacterial isolates can use carrageenans as a sole carbon source. Carrageenan-active polysaccharide utilization loci (CarPULs) were identified and recombinant enzymes were characterized to provide insights into pathway specialization of divergent CarPULs. Selective enrichment and metagenomic mining revealed carrageenan catabolism is widespread among geographically and taxonomically distinct ruminants, suggesting it is a widely distributed latent trait. These pathways are distinct from marine bacteria, highlighting a complex and ancient evolutionary history in the GIT microbiota of animals.

Hepatic gene expression study

Project description:The aim of this study was to compare the effects of cocoa butter and safflower oil on hepatic transcript profiles, lipid metabolism and insulin sensitivity in healthy rats. Cocoa butter-based high-fat feeding for three days did not affect plasma total triglyceride (TG) levels or TG-rich VLDL particles or hepatic insulin sensitivity, but changes in hepatic gene expression were induced that might lead to increased lipid synthesis, lipotoxicity, inflammation and insulin resistance if maintained. Safflower oil increased hepatic Î²-oxidation, was beneficial in terms of circulating TG-rich VLDL particles, but led to reduced hepatic insulin sensitivity. The effects of safflower oil on hepatic gene expression were partly overlapping with those exerted by cocoa butter, but fewer transcripts from anabolic pathways were altered. Increased hepatic cholesterol levels and increased expression of hepatic CYP7A1 and ABCG5 mRNA, important gene products in bile acid production and cholesterol excretion, were specific effects elicited by safflower oil only. Common effects on gene expression included increased levels of p8, DIG-1 IGFBP-1 and FGF21, and reduced levels of SCD-1 and SCD-2. This indicates that a lipid-induced program for hepatic lipid disposal and cell survival was induced by three days of high-fat feeding, independent on the lipid source. Based on the results, we speculate that hepatic TG infiltration leads to reduced expression of SCD-1, which might mediate either neutral, beneficial or unfavourable effects on hepatic metabolism upon high-fat feeding, depending on which fatty acids were provided by the diet. Keywords: Hepatic gene expression Two-condition experiment. Biological replicates: 4 male rat livers from rats on a standard diet, 4 male rat livers from rats on a cocoa butter diet, 4 male rat livers from rats on a high-fat (safflower oil) diet. One replicate per array.

Transcriptome signature of white adipose tissue, liver, and skeletal muscle in 24 hours fasted mice (C57Bl/6J)

Project description:Fasting is the process of metabolic adaption to food deprivation that is taking place in most organisms, e.g. during the daily resting phase in mammals. Furthermore, in biomedical research fasting is used in most metabolic studies to synchronize nutritional states of study subjects. Because there is a lack of standardization for this procedure, we need a deeper understanding of the dynamics and the molecular players in fasting. In this study we investigated the transcriptome signature of white adipose tissue, liver, and skeletal muscle in 24 hours fasted mice (and chow fat controls) using Affymetrix whole-genome microarrays. Food was withdrawn from the fasting group at the beginning of the light phase (9 a.m.) when mice are in their inactive phase. Mice were sacrificed 24 hours later by cervical dislocation. Chow-fed controls had ad libitium access to food during this time. Edidymal white adipose tissue, liver, and skeletal muscle were dissected out, shock frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at -80°C.

A chaperone-assisted mechanism of outer mitochondrial membrane TOM70 insertion protective against diet-induced obesity

Project description:Outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) proteins communicate with the cytosol and other organelles including the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This communication is important in thermogenic adipocytes to increase energy expenditure that controls body temperature and weight. However, the regulatory mechanisms of OMM protein insertion are poorly understood. Herein, stress-induced cytosolic chaperone PPID (peptidyl-prolyl isomerase D/cyclophilin 40/Cyp40) drives OMM insertion of the mitochondrial import receptor TOM70 regulating body temperature and weight in obese mice, and respiratory/thermogenic function in brown adipocytes. PPID PPIase activity and C-terminal tetratricopeptide repeats (TPR), which show specificity towards TOM70 core and C-tail domains, facilitate OMM insertion. Our results provide an unprecedented role for ER-stress-activated chaperones in controlling energy metabolism through a selective OMM protein insertion mechanism with implications in adaptation to cold temperatures and high-calorie diets.

Metaproteomes of intestinal microbiomes from mice fed different sources of dietary protein

Project description:Diet plays a major role in altering the composition and function of the gut microbiota. Previously most studies have focused on the effects of fiber, fat, and different amounts of protein on the gut microbiota. In this study we investigated how different sources of protein affect the gut microbiota of mice. We fed conventional and germ-free C57BL/6J mice a series of defined diets where the source of dietary protein was the key difference, which made up twenty or forty percent of the diet. The dietary protein sources used were purified protein. The diets were fed to the same mice for one week each with a fecal sample collected at the end of each week. The diets were fed in this order: standard chow, 20% soy, 20% casein, 20% rice, 40% soy, 20% yeast, 40% casein, 20% pea, 20% egg white protein, 20% chicken bone broth, and lastly at the end of the experiment half of the mice were fed the 20% soy and half the mice the 20% casein diet again as a control. We did not collect fecal samples for the chicken bone broth diet as the diet was stopped prematurely due to diet intolerance. 12 germ-free mice (6 female, 6 male) in four cages were used. 12 mice with a conventional gut microbiota in four cages were used (6 female, 6 male). One germ-free mouse was found dead after diet 5 (20% yeast) and one conventional mouse was sacrificed after the second diet (20% casein). No sample could be collected from one of the conventional mice after the 20% egg white diet.

The protomap is propagated to cortical plate neurons through an Eomes-dependent intermediate map

Project description:The cortical area map is initially patterned by transcription factor (TF) gradients in the neocortical primordium, which define a protomap in the embryonic ventricular zone (VZ). However, mechanisms that propagate regional identity from VZ progenitors to cortical plate (CP) neurons are unknown. Here we show that the VZ, subventricular zone (SVZ), and CP contain distinct molecular maps of regional identity, reflecting different gene expression gradients in radial glia progenitors, intermediate progenitors, and projection neurons, respectively. The intermediate map in SVZ is modulated by Eomes (also known as Tbr2), a T-box TF. Eomes inactivation caused rostrocaudal shifts in SVZ and CP gene expression, with loss of corticospinal axons and gain of corticotectal projections. These findings suggest that cortical areas and connections are shaped by sequential maps of regional identity, propagated by the Pax6 ? Eomes ? Tbr1 TF cascade. In humans, PAX6, EOMES, and TBR1 have been linked to intellectual disability and autism. To determine the role of Eomes in the propagation of the protomap to cortical plate neurons, used microarray analysis of E14.5 cortex from five wild type and three Eomes knockout mice.

Desmoglein 2 is a crucial receptor for adenovirus infection of epithelial cells

Project description:We have identified desmoglein 2 (DSG2) as the primary high-affinity receptor used by adenovirus (Ad) serotypes Ad3, Ad7, and Ad14. These serotypes represent important human pathogens causing respiratory tract infections. In epithelial cells, adenovirus binding to DSG2 triggers events reminiscent of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition, leading to transient opening of intercellular junctions. This improves access to receptors, e.g. CD46 and Her2/neu, that are trapped in intercellular junctions. In addition to complete virions, dodecahedral particles (PtDd) formed by viral penton and fiber in excess during viral replication, can trigger DSG2-mediated opening of intercellular junctions as shown by studies with recombinant Ad3 PtDd. Our findings shed light on adenovirus biology and pathogenesis and have implications for cancer therapy. 3 arrays, 3 experimental groups, 1 replicate in each group.

Microglia in ischemic brain injury

Project description:Microglia are resident CNS immune cells that are active sensors in healthy brain and versatile effectors under pathological conditions. Cerebral ischemia induces a robust neuroinflammatory response that includes marked changes in the gene expression and phenotypic profile of a variety of endogenous CNS cell types (astrocytes, neurons, microglia) as well as an influx of leukocytic cells (neutrophils, macrophages, T-cells) from the periphery. Many molecules and conditions can trigger a transformation of ârestingâ (or surveying) microglia to an âactivatedâ (alerted/reactive) state. Here we review recent developments in the literature that relate to microglial activation in the experimental setting of in vitro and in vivo ischemia. We also present new data from our own laboratory demonstrating the direct effects of in vitro ischemic conditions on the microglial phenotype and genomic profile. Emphasis is placed on the role of specific molecular signaling systems such as hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and toll-like receptor-4 (TLR4) in regulating the microglial response in this setting. We then review histological and recent novel radiological data that confirms a key role for microglial activation in the setting of ischemic stroke in humans. We discuss recent progress in the pharmacological and molecular targeting of microglia in acute ischemic stroke. Finally, we explore how recent studies on ischemic preconditioning have increased interest in preemptively targeting microglial activation in order to reduce stroke severity. 12 arrays, 4 experimental groups, 3 replicates in each group, CN is control normoxia, CH is control hypoxia, TN is TLR4 knockout normoxia, TH is TLR4 knockout hypoxia.
