Project description:Breastfeeding is vital for reducing morbidity and mortality, yet exclusive breastfeeding rates are low, with insufficient milk supply being a major weaning factor whose molecular causes remain largely unknown. In this study, we collected fresh milk samples from 30 lactating individuals, classified as low, normal, or high milk producers at multiple postpartum stages, and conducted extensive genomic and microbiome analysis. Using bulk RNA sequencing on human milk fat globules (MFG), milk cells, and breast tissue, we found that MFG-derived RNA closely resembles RNA from milk luminal cells. Furthermore, bulk and single-cell RNA-seq revealed changes in the transcriptome and cellular content linked to milk production. We identified specific genes and cell-type proportions differing in low and high milk production. Infant microbiome diversity was affected by feeding type, but not by maternal milk supply. This study provides a comprehensive human milk transcriptomic catalog, identifies genes associated with milk production, and highlights MFG as a useful biomarker for milk transcriptome analysis.

Project description:Human breast milk contains a diverse community of bacteria but factors that produce variation in the breast milk microbiome are largely unknown. We evaluated if 1) maternal factors including breastfeeding practices modified the diversity and abundance of bacterial communities in breast milk and 2) if subclinical mastitis (SCM), an asymptomatic inflammatory condition occurring during lactation, induced a distinctive microbiota signature.

Project description:In order to circumvent environmental changes throughout fruit development, young and ripening berries were sampled simultaneously on continuously flowering microvines acclimated to controlled circadian light and temperature changes. Gene expression profiles along fruit development were monitored during both day and night with whole genome microarray Nimbelgen® vitis 12x, yielding a total number of 9273 developmentally modulated probesets. All day-detected transcripts were modulated at night, whereas 1755 genes were night-specific. Very similar developmental patterns of gene expression were observed upon independent hierarchical clustering of day and night data, whereas functional categories of allocated transcripts varied according to time of the day. Many transcripts within pathways, known to be upregulated during ripening, in particular those linked to secondary metabolism exhibited a clearer developmental regulation at night than during the day. Functional enrichment analysis also indicated that diurnally modulated genes considerably varied during fruit development, with a shift from cellular organization and photosynthesis in green berries to secondary metabolism and stress-related genes in ripening ones. These results reveal critical changes in gene expression during night development that differ from day development which have not been observed in other transcriptomic studies on fruit development so far.

Project description:Pineal function follows a 24-hour schedule, dedicated to the conversion of night and day into a hormonal signal, melatonin. In mammals, 24-hour changes in pineal activity are controlled by a neural pathway that includes the central circadian oscillator in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and the superior cervical ganglia (SCG), which innervate the pineal gland. In this study, we have generated the first next-generation RNA sequencing evidence of neural control of the daily changes in the pineal transcriptome. We found over 3000 pineal transcripts that are differentially expressed (p <0.001) on a night/day basis (70% of these genes increase at night, 376 with fold change >4 or <1/4), the majority of which had not been previously identified as such. Nearly all night/day differences were eliminated by neonatal removal or decentralization of the SCG, confirming the importance of neural input for differential night/day changes in transcript abundance. In contrast, very few non-rhythmic genes showed evidence of changes in expression due to the surgical procedure itself, which is consistent with the hypothesis that post neonatal neural stimulation is not required for cell fate determination and maintenance of phenotype. Many of the transcripts that exhibit marked differential night/day expression exhibited similar changes in response to in vitro treatment with norepinephrine, the SCG neurotransmitter which mediates pineal regulation. Similar changes were also seen following treatment with an analog of the norepinephrine second messenger, cyclic AMP.

Project description:We used Affymetrix microarrays to investigate gene expression changes in somatic cells from breast-milk extracted from women suffering from mastitis and taking a daily dose of three capsules with ~50 mg of a freeze-dried probiotic (~109 CFU of L. salivarius PS2 strain) for 21 days. Healthy women were subjected to the same treatment for comparison. The aim of this work was to determine whether the daily intake of a probiotic strain for a total of 21 days exerted any modulatory effects, at the level of gene expression, in somatic cells from breast-milk in women with mastitis. Women were divided into 2 groups: mastitis and healthy. Total RNA was extracted from breast-milk isolated cells obtained from 10 participants (7 women from the mastitis group and 3 women from the healthy group) at day 0 (initial) and after 21 days (final) to compare differential gene expression between the groups. Differential gene expression after 21 days of the study for each group: mastitis and healthy

Project description:Biological processes are optimized by circadian and circannual biological timing systems. In vertebrates, the pineal gland plays an essential role in these systems by converting time into a hormonal signal, melatonin; in all vertebrates, circulating melatonin is elevated at night, independent of lifestyle. We have analyzed the rat pineal transcriptome at mid-day and mid-night to identify genes that exhibit night/day changes in expression. Keywords: Time course (2 points)

Project description:Breast milk is a complex liquid that enriched in immunological components and affect the development of the infant immune system. Exosomes, the membranous vesicles of endocytic origin, are ubiquitously in various body fluids which can mediate intercellular communication. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a well-defined group of non-coding small RNAs, in human breast milk are packaged inside exosomes. Here, we present the identification of miRNAs in human breast milk exosomes using deep sequencing technology. We found that the immune-related miRNAs are enriched in breast milk exosomes, and are resistant to the general harsh conditions.
