Project description:Abstract: Natural communities of microbes inhabiting amphibian skin, the skin microbiome, are critical to supporting amphibian health and disease resistance. To enable the pro-active health assessment and management of amphibians on Army installations and beyond, we investigated the effects of acute (96h) munitions exposures to Rana pipiens (leopard frog) tadpoles and the associated skin microbiome, integrated with RNAseq-based transcriptomic responses in the tadpole host. Tadpoles were exposed to the legacy munition 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT), the new insensitive munition (IM) formulation, IMX-101, and the IM constituents nitroguinidine (NQ) and 1-methyl-3-nitroguanidine (MeNQ). The 96h LC50 values and 95% confidence intervals were 2.6 (2.4, 2.8) for ΣTNT and 68.2 (62.9, 73.9) for IMX-101, respectively. The NQ and MeNQ exposures caused no significant impacts on survival in 96h exposures even at maximum exposure levels of 3,560 and 5,285 mg/L, respectively. However, NQ and MeNQ, as well as TNT and IMX-101 exposures, all elicited changes in the tadpole skin microbiome profile, as evidenced by significantly increased relative proportions of the Proteobacteria with increasing exposure concentrations, and significantly decreased alpha-diversity in the NQ exposure. The potential for direct and indirect effects of munitions exposures on the skin microbiome were observed. A direct effect of munitions on microbial flora included the observation of increased relative abundance of the munitions-tolerant, Aeromonadaceae and Pseudomonadaceae, in the NQ exposure. Potential indirect effects on the tadpole skin microbiome resulting from tadpole-host responses to munitions included transcriptional responses indicative of potential changes in skin mucus-layer properties as well as altered production of antimicrobial peptides and innate immune factors. Additional insights into the tadpole host’s transcriptional response to munitions exposures indicated that TNT and IMX-101 exposures each elicited significant enrichment of pathways involved in type-I and type-II xenobiotic metabolism mechanisms where dose-responsive increases in expression were observed. Significant enrichment and increased transcriptional expression of heme and iron binding functions in the TNT exposures was likely connected with known mechanisms of TNT toxicity including hemolytic anemia and methemoglobinemia. The significant enrichment and dose-responsive decrease in transcriptional expression of cell cycle pathways in the IMX-101 exposures was consistent with previous observations in fish, while significant enrichment of immune-related function in response to NQ exposure indicated potential immune suppression at the highest NQ exposure concentration. Finally, the MeNQ exposures elicited significantly decreased transcriptional expression of keratin 16, type I, a gene likely involved in keratinization processes in amphibian skin. Overall, munitions showed the potential to alter tadpole skin microbiome composition and affect transcriptional profiles in the amphibian host, some indicative of potentially impacted host health and immune status, each of which suggest potential implications for munitions exposure on disease susceptibility.

Project description:Abstract: Many mouse models of neurological disease use the tetracycline transactivator (tTA) system to control transgene expression by oral treatment with the broad-spectrum antibiotic doxycycline. Antibiotic treatment used for transgene control might have undesirable systemic effects, including the potential to affect immune responses in the brain via changes in the gut microbiome. Recent work has shown that an antibiotic cocktail to perturb the gut microbiome can suppress microglial reactivity to brain amyloidosis in transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease based on controlled overexpression of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Here we assessed the impact of chronic low dose doxycycline on gut microbiome diversity and neuroimmune response to systemic LPS challenge in a tTA-regulated model of Alzheimer's amyloidosis. We show that doxycycline decreased microbiome diversity in both APP transgenic and wild-type mice and that these changes persisted long after drug withdrawal. Despite this change in microbiome composition, dox treatment had minimal effect on transcriptional signatures in the brain, both at baseline and following acute LPS challenge. Our findings suggest that central neuroinflammatory responses may be less affected by dox at doses needed for transgene control than by antibiotic cocktail at doses used for microbiome manipulation.

Project description:Sensitive skin is a hyperactive skin condtion, characterized by prickling, burning, itching, stinging, pain, or tingling sensation, which develops in response to various internal and external stimulants that can be tolerated by most people. The pathophysiology involved in the development of sensitive skin remains largely elusive. To characterize differential gene expression profiles in sensitive skin, we investigated the genome-wide patterns of gene expression from skin samples from subjects with sensitive or non-sensitive skin, following lactic acid challenge or normal saline application using cDNA microarrays. We recruited eighteen healthy volunteers with sensitive skin (n=9) or non-sensitive skin (n=9). From each subject, two skin samples were obtained following lactic acid or normal saline application.(18 samples/group) Based on the existence of sensitive skin and lactic acid challenge, samples were pooled into sets of three individuals each. Global transcriptome profiling was conducted using Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 array.

Project description:During acute cutaneous inflammation in diseases such as atopic eczema there are alterations in the microbiome as well as histological and ultrastructural changes to the stratified epidermis, but the precise interaction between the keratinocyte proliferation and differentiation status and the skin microbiome has not been fully explored. We hypothesised that the skin microbiome contributes to regulation of keratinocyte differentiation and can modify antimicrobial responses. Therefore, we examined the effect of exposure to topical commensal or pathogenic Staphylococcal challenge on skin models. To further explore the cell types regulating inhibition specifically targeting SA, single-cell DropSeq analysis of unchallenged naïve, SE challenged, and SA challenged epidermis models was undertaken. Transcriptomic analysis distinguished cells from basal, spinous, and granular layers which could then be interrogated individually in relation to model exposure. In contrast to SE, SA specifically induced a sub-population of spinous cells which highly expressed transcripts related to epidermal inflammation and antimicrobial response such as IL36G, IVL, IL1RN, KLK7, PI3, MMP1, S100A7, S100A8, S100A9, SERPINB1, SERPINB2, SERPINB3, and SLPI. Furthermore, SA, but not SE, specifically induced a basal population which highly expressed IL-1-alpha and IL-1-beta.

Project description:The mpox outbreak of 2022–2023 involved rapid global spread in men who have sex with men. We infected 18 rhesus macaques with mpox by the intravenous, intradermal, and intrarectal routes and observed robust antibody and T cell responses following all three routes of infection. Numerous skin lesions and high plasma viral loads were observed following intravenous and intradermal infection. Skin lesions peaked on day 10 and resolved by day 28 following infection. On day 28, we re-challenged all convalescent and 3 naive animals with mpox. All convalescent animals were protected against re-challenge. Transcriptomic studies showed upregulation of innate and inflammatory responses and downregulation of collagen formation and extracellular matrix organization following challenge, as well as rapid activation of T cell and plasma cell responses following re-challenge. These data suggest key mechanistic insights into mpox pathogenesis and immunity. This macaque model should prove useful for evaluating mpox vaccines and therapeutics.

Project description:The aim of this study was to explore whether, and if so, how Bacillus subtilis KC1 can enhance the growth performance of broilers that have been adversely affected by Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) infection. A total of 96 1-day-old male broilers were randomly divided into 4 groups: the control group (basal diet), the MG group (basal diet + MG challenge), the Bacillus subtilis KC1 group (basal diet + Bacillus subtilis KC1 supplementation), the Bacillus subtilis KC1 + MG group (basal diet + Bacillus subtilis KC1 supplementation + MG challenge). The trial lasted 42 days, and the results showed that the MG group had significantly reduced body weight and average daily gain, as well as increased feed conversion ratio of broilers, compared to the control group. Dietary supplementation with Bacillus subtilis KC1 significantly improved the growth performance of MG-infected broilers. In addition, dietary supplementation with Bacillus subtilis KC1 significantly improved oxidative stress and inflammatory response markers, characterized by increased superoxide dismutase levels and reduced levels of malondialdehyde, interleukin-1β, and tumor necrosis factor-α. Furthermore, both metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses indicated that MG infection markedly disrupted amino acid metabolism in broilers, whereas Bacillus subtilis KC1 supplementation alleviated the abnormal amino acid metabolism caused by MG infection. These results suggested that Bacillus subtilis KC1 may alleviate the poor growth performance caused by MG infection in broilers by improving amino acid metabolism.
