Handling stress may confound murine gut microbiota studies
BACKGROUND Accumulating evidence indicates interactions between human milk composition, particularly sugars (human milk oligosaccharides or HMO), the gut microbiota of human infants, and behavioral effects. Some HMO secreted in human milk are unable to be endogenously digested by the human infant but are able to be metabolized by certain species of gut microbiota, including Bifidobacterium long...
متن کاملGut Microbiota in Graft-versus-Host Disease
Gut microbiota inhabit the host gastrointestinal (GI) tract and play roles in many aspects of metabolic and immunologic homeostasis. Understanding about gut microbiota composition in health and disease is accumulating with the advances in gene sequencing technology. Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a major complication after allogenic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT), a gold standard c...
متن کاملHost-gut microbiota metabolic interactions.
The composition and activity of the gut microbiota codevelop with the host from birth and is subject to a complex interplay that depends on the host genome, nutrition, and life-style. The gut microbiota is involved in the regulation of multiple host metabolic pathways, giving rise to interactive host-microbiota metabolic, signaling, and immune-inflammatory axes that physiologically connect the ...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Association Studies of the Human Gut Microbiota
The bacterial composition of the human fecal microbiome is influenced by many lifestyle factors, notably diet. It is less clear, however, what role host genetics plays in dictating the composition of bacteria living in the gut. In this study, we examined the association of ~200K host genotypes with the relative abundance of fecal bacterial taxa in a founder population, the Hutterites, during tw...
متن کاملThe Gut Microbiota and Immune System Relationship in Human Graft-versus-Host Disease
Gut microbiota has gained increasing interest in the pathogenesis of immune-related diseases. In this context, graft-versus-host disease is a condition characterized by an immune response which frequently complicates and limits the outcomes of hematopoietic stem cell transplantations. Past studies, carried mostly in animals, already supported a relationship between gut microbiota and graft-vers...
