Project description:Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition that has been associated with changes in gut microbiota and intestinal function. However, the molecular mechanisms driving these changes are not fully understood, and there is a need for an appropriate animal model to study the gut-brain axis in PTSD. The rat PTSD model, induced by footshock stress, is commonly used to simulate PTSD-like behaviors and physiological responses. This study aims to assess whether this model accurately reflects the alterations in gut gene expression and microbiota composition that are observed in PTSD.

Project description:The indigenous human gut microbiota is a major contributor to the human superorganism with established roles in modulating nutritional status, immunity, and systemic health including diabetes and obesity. The complexity of the gut microbiota consisting of over 1012 residents and approximately 1000 species has thus far eluded systematic analyses of the precise effects of individual microbial residents on human health. In contrast, health benefits have been shown upon ingestion of certain so-called probiotic Lactobacillus strains in food products and nutritional supplements, thereby providing a unique opportunity to study the global responses of a gut-adapted microorganism in the human gut and to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying microbial modulation of intestinal physiology, which might involve alterations in the intestinal physico-chemical environment, modifications in the gut microbiota, and/or direct interaction with mucosal epithelia and immune cells. Here we show by transcriptome analysis using DNA microarrays that the established probiotic bacterium, L. plantarum 299v, adapts its metabolic capacity in the human digestive tract for carbohydrate acquisition and expression of exo-polysaccharide and proteinaceous cell surface compounds. This report constitutes the first application of global gene expression profiling of a gut-adapted commensal microorganism in the human gut. Comparisons of the transcript profiles to those obtained for L. plantarum WCFS1 in germ-free mice revealed conserved L. plantarum responses indicative of a core transcriptome expressed in the mammalian gut and provide new molecular targets for determining microbial-host interactions affecting human health.

Project description:The Gut health in multiple joint osteoarthritis (MJOA) study leverages data from parallel community-based cohorts in humans and in pet dogs to elucidate the role of altered microbiota in MJOA. One hundred Johnston County Health Study human participants were 35 to 70 years of age at enrollment (2022-2023), self-identified as Hispanic, White, or Black, and lived in Johnston County, North Carolina. Demographic, clinical information, multiple joint radiographs, and stool samples for microbiome profiling by 16S rRNA gene sequencing were obtained from all participants. Similar data were collected from an independent group of pet dogs (N=115) from the local community, at the North Carolina State University (NCSU) College of Veterinary Medicine. The central hypothesis of the study is that intestinal permeability, with or without dysbiosis, is a major driver in the development and worsening of MJOA.

Project description:This study investigated whether dietary poricoic acid A (PAA) alleviates chronic unpredictable stress (CUS)-induced depressive-like behaviors in mice by modulating the gut microbiota-immune axis. Male C57BL/6J mice were subjected to CUS and treated with PAA. Results showed that PAA alleviated depressive- and anxiety-like behaviors, reduced hippocampal neuronal damage, and restored gut microbiota composition by suppressing harmful bacteria like Ligilactobacillus murinus while promoting beneficial taxa such as Akkermansia muciniphila and Lactobacillus reuteri. Hippocampal transcriptomics revealed that PAA modulated immune cell infiltration by reducing M1 and restoring M2 macrophages, with significant correlations between gut microbial taxa and hippocampal immune gene expression. Functional analyses indicated that PAA regulated pathways related to synaptic plasticity and neuroinflammation, which was confirmed by qPCR and Western blot showing restored expression of HSP90B1, RPS6KB2, IGF2BP2, and COL4A5. In conclusion, dietary PAA alleviates depressive-like behaviors in CUS mice by remodeling the gut microbiota and modulating the hippocampal M1/M2 macrophage balance via the gut-brain axis, supporting its potential as a prebiotic-like nutritional agent for major depressive disorder.

Project description:The gut microbiota plays an important role in host health. Microbiota dysbiosis has been implicated in the global epidemic of Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) and could impair host metabolism by noxious metabolites. It has been well established that the gut microbiota is shaped by host immune factors. However, the effect of T cells on the gut microbiota is yet unknown. Here, we performed a metagenomic whole-genome shotgun sequencing (mWGS) study of the microbiota of TCRb-/- mice, which lack alpha/beta T cells.

Project description:In this study we investigated whether gut microbiota profile of Italian healthy volunteers could differ based on their geaographical origin. To this purpose, fecal samples were collected from 31 healthy individuals living in 3 different italian regions (Lombardy, North; Lazio, Center; Apulia, South) and their respective microbiota profiles were analyzed employing 16S metagenomic sequencing method. This study identifies differences in the gut microbiota content and richness among individuals with the same ethnicity coming from three different Italian regions.

Project description:Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a widespread heart condition caused by atherosclerosis and influences millions of people worldwide. Early detection of CAD is challenging due to the lack of specific biomarkers. The gut microbiota and host-microbiota interactions have been well documented to affect human health. However, investigation that reveals the role of gut microbes in CAD is still limited. This study aims to uncover the synergistic effects of host genes and gut microbes associated with CAD through integrative genomic analyses.
