A comprehensive assessment of demographic, environmental, and host genetic associations with gut microbiome diversity in healthy individuals

Jacques Fellay, Flavia Aurelia Shoko Hodel, Christian Hammer, Petar Scepanovic

Background The gut microbiome is an important determinant of human health. Its composition has been shown to be influenced by multiple environmental factors and likely by host genetic variation. In the framework of the Milieu Interieur Consortium, a total ...

Gut microbial transformation of the dietary mutagen MeIQx may reduce exposure levels without altering intestinal transport

Julita Maria Stadnicka-Michalak, Jianbo Zhang

The mutagen and probable human carcinogen 2-amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx) is metabolized in the colon to 9-hydroxyl-2,7-dimethyl-7,9,10,11-tetrahydropyrimido[2',1':2,3]imidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx-M1) by conjugation with microbial ...

The Mouse Microbiome Is Required for Sex-Specific Diurnal Rhythms of Gene Expression and Metabolism

Felix Naef, Cédric Gobet, Jake Yeung, Frédéric Bruno Martin Gachon, Benjamin Dieter Weger

The circadian clock and associated feeding rhythms have a profound impact on metabolism and the gut microbiome. To what extent microbiota reciprocally affect daily rhythms of physiology in the host remains elusive. Here, we analyzed transcriptome and metab ...

An Exploratory Study On The Functional Significance Of Eosinophil Residency In The Small Intestine Under Homeostatic Conditions

Kathleen Shah

The small intestine is a highly dynamic and complex cellular ecosystem, which serves as the primary interface between the host and its environment. A critical component of this ecosystem is the microbiota, which plays a pivotal role in shaping both immune ...

Intestinal helminths modulate the gut microbiome

Alexis Rapin

Intestinal parasitic worms (commonly named intestinal helminths) affect close to one quarter of the world population and cause major losses for the livestock industry. These parasites establish chronic infections by modulation the immunity of their host. T ...

Microbiota-Derived Lactate Activates Production of Reactive Oxygen Species by the Intestinal NADPH Oxidase Nox and Shortens Drosophila Lifespan

Jean Philippe Boquete, Bruno Lemaitre, Igor Iatsenko

Commensal microbes colonize the gut epithelia of virtually all animals and provide several benefits to their hosts. Changes in commensal populations can lead to dysbiosis, which is associated with numerous pathologies and decreased lifespan. Peptidoglycan ...

Oral application of Escherichia coli bacteriophage: safety tests in healthy and diarrheal children from Bangladesh

Patrick Descombes

A T4-like coliphage cocktail was given with different oral doses to healthy Bangladeshi children in a placebo-controlled randomized phase I safety trial. Fecal phage detection was oral dose dependent suggesting passive gut transit of coliphages through the ...

Aging and sarcopenia associate with specific interactions between gut microbes, serum biomarkers and host physiology in rats

Anirikh Chakrabarti, Mojgan Masoodi, Jay Siddharth, Sonia Karaz, Alice Pannerec

The microbiome has been demonstrated to play an integral role in the maintenance of many aspects of health that are also associated with aging. In order to identify areas of potential exploration and intervention, we simultaneously characterized age-relate ...

The dual oxidase gene BdDuox regulates the intestinal bacterial community homeostasis of Bactrocera dorsalis

Bruno Lemaitre

The guts of metazoans are in permanent contact with the microbial realm that includes beneficial symbionts, nonsymbionts, food-borne microbes and life-threatening pathogens. However, little is known concerning how host immunity affects gut bacterial commun ...
