Project description:Intestinal microorganisms impact on health maintaining gut homeostasis and shaping the host immunity, while gut dysbiosis associates with many conditions including autism, a complex neurodevelopmental disorder with multifactorial aetiology. In autism, gut dysbiosis correlates with symptom severity and is characterized by a reduced bacterial variability and a diminished beneficial commensal relationship. Microbiota can influence the expression of host microRNAs that, in turn, regulate the growth of intestinal bacteria by means of bidirectional host-gut micro-biota cross-talk. We investigated possible interactions among intestinal microbes and between them and host transcriptional modulators in autism. To this purpose, we analysed, by “omics” technologies, faecal microbiome, mycobiome and small non-coding-RNAs (particularly miRNAs and piRNAs) of children with autism and neurotypical development. Patients displayed gut dysbiosis, related to a reduction of healthy gut micro- and mycobiota, and up-regulated tran-scriptional modulators. The targets of dysregulated non-coding-RNAs are involved in intestinal permeability, inflammation and autism. Furthermore, microbial families, underrepresented in patients, participate to the production of human essential metabolites negatively influencing the health condition. Here, we propose a novel approach to analyse faeces as a whole and, for the first time, we detected miRNAs and piRNAs in faecal samples of patients with autism.

Project description:The intestine is a site of diverse functions including digestion, nutrient absorption, immune surveillance, and microbial symbiosis. As such, intestinal homeostasis is vital for overall wellbeing. Faecal microRNAs (miRNAs) offer valuable non-invasive insights into the transcriptional state of the intestine. However, typical faecal miRNA yields and profiles remain incompletely characterised. Here, we develop an optimised protocol for faecal miRNA detection, and describe a reproducible murine faecal miRNA profile across several studies by performing a meta-analysis. By examining faecal miRNA changes during chronic infection with the gastrointestinal helminth, Trichuris muris, we identify the altered expression of miRNAs associated with fibrosis, barrier integrity and wound healing. Fibrosis was confirmed in vivo, suggesting a role for these miRNAs in regulating wound healing during chronic infection where the production of classical wound healing Th2 cytokines are low. Further implementations of this technique can identify novel hypotheses and therapeutic strategies in diverse disease contexts.

Project description:RNAseq and LC/MS metabolomics analysis of C. difficile strain 630 grown in BHIS media with 50% (vol/vol) faecal water added, compared with control BHIS containing only the additional PBS used for prep of Faecal water. Cells grown in biological triplicates to late log phase (T=6h) prior to harvest. Goal was to determine changes in gene expression caused by exposure to Faecal water, and changes in the metabolite profile of faecal water containing medium when incubated with actively growing C. difficile cells

Project description:Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a gram-negative bacterium that can colonize the gut of humans and several species of food producing farm animals to cause enteric or septicaemic salmonellosis. Besides compromising public health and food safety, sub-clinical salmonellosis is also believed to be a major problem affecting the profitability of the pig industry. Distinct responses to Salmonella infection have been observed in pigs, some recovering faster and shedding lower levels of Salmonella in faeces than others (low shedders, LS versus persistent shedders, PS). This trait variation could indicate the existence of a genetic component to Salmonella shedding and resistance that may be exploited in animal breeding and disease diagnostics. The study aimed to identify porcine genes and gene co-expression networks that differentiate distinct responses to Salmonella challenge with respect to faecal Salmonella shedding.

Project description:Conventionally raised and germ-free newly weaned male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a basal diet or a diet supplemented with digestion resistant carbohydrates in the form of inulin, resistant starch or konjac flour. Gene expression in colon tissue was measured to characterise interaction between food, microbes and host.
