Project description:The main objective of the present proteomic study is to identify the metabolic response, in particular theglycan uptake and degradation machinery, conferring members of Roseburia growth on HMOs and/or onrelated O-glycans. Accordingly, the proteomes of R. hominis and R. inulinivorans bothgrown on humanmilk oligosaccharides (HMOs), were compared to glucose to reveal the molecular basis for growth onHMOs. Furthermore, we compare the proteomes of R. hominis and R. inulinivorans grownin co-culturewith A. muciniphilia either on mucin or on glucose to identify potential metabolic routes of mucin derivedO-glycan utilization in Roseburia.
Project description:Here, we report analysis of both the bacterial and host transcriptome as affected by colonization of R. hominis in the mouse gut. Microbial genes required for colonization and adaptation in the murine gut, as well as host genes responding to colonization by this bacterial species, were uncovered.
Project description:GWAT store most of the TAG in mice, ob/ob mice is an obese mice. Ob/ob/Fsp27-/- mice are lean when compared with ob/ob mice. The GWAT weight was dramatically reduced in ob/ob/Fsp27-/- mice. We next extract the total RNA from the GWAT of ob/ob and ob/ob/Fsp27-/- mice, to perform microaary analysis using Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays, Affymetrix. We then analysised the up-regulated and down regulated pathways.
Project description:ob/ob mice is an obese mice. CIDE family proteins including Cidea, Cideb and Cidec play important role in lipid metabolism. Cidea is mainly expressed in the brown adipose tissue (BAT). Cidec is mainly expressed in the BAT and white adipose tissue (WAT). We generated ob/ob/Cidea-/-/Cidec-/- mice to investigate the phenotype of fat tissue. ob/ob/Cidea-/-/Cidec-/- mice are lean when compared with ob/ob mice. The tissue weight and TAG content of BAT and WAT was extreamly decreased in ob/ob/Cidea-/-/Cidec-/- mice compared with that in ob/ob mice. We next extract the total RNA from the BAT and WAT of ob/ob and ob/ob/Cidea-/-/Cidec-/- mice, to perform microarray analysis using Mouse Gene 1.0 ST array system, Affymetrix. We then analysised the up-regulated and down regulated pathways.
