Project description:Transcriptional profiling of intestinal response to Citrobacter rodentium in wild-type and Nlrp12-deficient mice Four-conditions experiment, Nlrp12-deficient mouse infected by Citrobacter rodentium at day 7 versus non-infected Nlrp12-deficient mice with two biologicals replicates , Wild-type mouse infected by Citrobacter rodentium at day 7 versus non-infected Wild-type mice with two biologicals replicates and Nlrp12-deficient mouse infected by Citrobacter rodentium versus Control mouse infected by Citrobacter rodentium at 2 differents times ( day 0 and post infection at day 7 ) with three biologicals replicates
Project description:We generated conditional knockout of MHCII in intestinal epithelial cells in C57BL/6 mice (I-AbΔIEC) and compared their colonic transcriptome in control and Citrobacter rodentium infected mice. I-AbWT or I-AbΔIEC mice were orally gavaged with Citrobacter rodentium DBS100
Project description:We report that dietary iron protects mice from infection by Citrobacter rodentium. Iron induces a state of insulin resistance and increases glucose availability in the gut, thereby attenutating C. rodentium virulence. Additionally the pathogen appears to be driven towards a long-term commensal state. Here, we identify mutations in persistent and avirulent Citrobacter rodentium isolates from mice given an iron supplemented diet.
Project description:To explore the regulatory mechanism of intestinal flora in Citrobacter rodentium -induced intestinal infection by transcriptome analysis at miRNA molecular level.
