Project description:In the present study, we investigated the effect of Lactobacillus lactis on healthspan using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model animal. The healthspan of the adult C. elegans fed the mixture of E. coli OP50 and Lactobacillus lactis NBRC 100913 or NBRC 12007 strains was significantly longer than that of animals fed sole OP50 (control). Transcriptional profiling comparing Lactobacillus lactis- and control-fed animals suggested that genes related to “locomotion” were upregulated by Lactobacillus lactis.
Project description:Helicobacter pylori causes chronic gastritis and avoids elimination by the immune system of the infected host. The commensal bacterium Lactobacillus acidophilus has been reported to exert beneficial effects as a supplement during H. pylori eradication therapy. In the present study, we applied whole genome microarray analysis to compare the immune response induced in murine bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) stimulated with L. acidophilus, H. pylori, or with both bacteria in combination Microarray expression profiling was performed to analyze stimulation of bone marrow derived macrophages with Helicobacter pylori 251, Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM or Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM co-stimulated with Helicobacter pylori 251 were analyzed 5 hours after infection.
Project description:we show that VSVΔ51 has higher antitumor efficacy for hepatocellular carcinoma in the absence of microbiota in female mouse models. VSVΔ51 infection causes microbiota dysbiosis, increasing most of the gut bacteria abundance, while decreasing the commensal Lactobacillus. VSVΔ51 reduced intestinal expression of SLC20A1 that binds to Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) CdpA cell wall protein through IL6-JAK-STAT3 signaling, thereby attenuating attachment and colonization of L. acidophilus.
Project description:Metagenomic sequencing of mice with different treatments: Mice were randomly divided into donor control group (Donor + MRS), constipation model group (STC + MRS), or a Lactobacillus acidophilus treated group (STC + La): A humanized mouse model was established by intragastric administration of fecal bacterial liquid from healthy donors or STC patients on alternate days, followed by continuous administration of Lactobacillus acidophilus in treatment group. Finally, the feces of each group of mice were collected, and the intestinal microbial communities of the mice were analyzed through metagenomic sequencing. 16S rRNA sequencing of mice before and after the use antibiotics: Before and after treating the mice with antibiotics, the mice's feces were collected for 16s rRNA sequencing respectively.

Project description:We used a whole genome array containing 97.4 % of the annotated genes of Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM, a probiotic culture that belongs to the lactic acid bacteria group, to identify genes that are differentially expressed under several stress conditions. Keywords: Stress response
