Project description:Metagenome data from soil samples were collected at 0 to 10cm deep from 2 avocado orchards in Channybearup, Western Australia, in 2024. Amplicon sequence variant (ASV) tables were constructed based on the DADA2 pipeline with default parameters.
Project description:Homo sapiens fresh whole blood was infected with Candida parapsilosis. RNA-pool of both species extracted at 0min (control), 15, 30, 60, 120, 240 min. Samples are rRNA depleted. Measurement of Homo sapiens gene expression.
Project description:Homo sapiens fresh whole blood was infected with Candida albicans SC5314. RNA-pool of both species extracted at 0min (control), 15, 30, 60, 120, 240 min. Samples are rRNA depleted. Expression measurement of Homo sapiens genes.
Project description:Host-microbiome-dietary interactions play crucial roles in regulating human health, yet direct functional assessment of their interplays, cross-regulations and downstream disease impacts remains challenging. We adopted metagenome-informed metaproteomics (MIM), in both mice and humans, to simultaneously explore host, dietary, and species-level microbiome interactions across diverse scenarios, including commensal and pathogen colonization, nutritional modifications, and antibiotic-induced perturbations. Implementation of MIM in murine auto-inflammation and in human IBD characterized a ‘compositional dysbiosis’ and a concomitant, species-specific ‘functional dysbiosis’ driven by suppressed commensal responses to inflammatory host signals. Microbiome transfers unraveled early-onset kinetics of these host-commensal cross-responsive patterns, while predictive analyses identified candidate fecal host-microbiome IBD biomarker protein pairs outperforming S100A8/S100A9 (calprotectin). Importantly, a simultaneous fecal nutrient assessment enabled determination of IBD-related consumption patterns, dietary treatment compliance and small-intestinal digestive aberrations. Collectively, a parallelized dietary-bacterial-host MIM assessment functionally uncovers trans-kingdom interactomes shaping gastrointestinal ecology, while offering personalized diagnostic and therapeutic insights into microbiome-associated disease.
