Intestinal microbiota mediate toxicity of irinotecan (CPT-11) cancer therapies and cause systemic infection after CPT-11-induced loss of barrier function. The intestinal microbiota and their functions are thus potential targets for treatment to mitigate CPT-11 toxicity. However, microbiota...

Isomaltodextrin dose-dependently reduces colitis development in HLA-B27 rat colitis model with associated changes to gut microbiota composition and short chain fatty acid production
DownloadFall 2021
Prevalence rates for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) worldwide have been drastically increasing over recent decades. IBD is characterized by altered intestinal microbiome (i.e. dysbiosis), described by reduced strict butyrate-producing anaerobes versus increased facultative anaerobes in...

Singh, V. P., Proctor, Spencer D., Willing, Ben P.
Over the past 20 years, a growing amount of evidence supports the role of microbes and an imbalanced microbiota in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While many reviews have been written on the microbiota in IBD, few have considered how they fulfil the Koch's postulates. In this review, we...

Lactobacillus reuteri maintains a functional mucosal barrier during DSS treatment despite mucus layer dysfunction

Rang, Sara, Roos, Stefan, Phillipson, Mia, Holm, Lena, Dicksved, Johan, Willing, Ben P., Petersson, Joel, Schreiber, Olof
Treatment with the probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus reuteri has been shown to prevent dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in rats. This is partly due to reduced P-selectin-dependent leukocyte- and platelet-endothelial cell interactions, however, the mechanism behind this protective...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) not only leads to motor and sensory dysfunction, but just as debilitating are secondary consequences of SCI such as bowel disorders, neuroinflammation, immune suppression, pain and psychiatric disorders. In this thesis, I explore multiple aspects of recovery after SCI in...

Mechanisms of Neonatal Intestinal Failure-Associated Liver Disease: Exploring the Gut-Liver Axis
DownloadSpring 2018
Neonates with intestinal failure (IF), who must rely on parenteral nutrition (PN) for growth and maintenance of health, are at risk for intestinal failure-associated liver disease (IFALD). In neonates, short bowel syndrome (SBS) as a result of intestinal resection is the most common cause of IF....

Neutrophil elastase alters the murine gut mirobiota resulting in enhanced Salmonella colonization

Hartmann, Martin, Sekirov, Inna, Finlay, B. Brett, Al-Zahrani, Fatimah, Willing, Benjamin P., Ferreira, Rosana B. R., Gill, Navkiran, Antunes, L. Caetano M.
The intestinal microbiota has been found to play a central role in the colonization of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium in the gastrointestinal tract. In this study, we present a novel process through which Salmonella benefit from inflammatory induced changes in the microbiota in order to...

Novel Treatments for Intestinal Failure Explored in Neonatal Piglets with Short Bowel Syndrome: Focusing on the Microbiome, Sepsis and Trophic Factors
DownloadSpring 2024
Short bowel syndrome (SBS) is the leading cause of intestinal failure (IF) in infants, and occurs when there is a significant loss of intestine due to acquired or congenital reasons, leading to infants being unable to absorb sufficient nutrients for survival and growth. SBS traditionally had a...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance metabolomic fingerprint of the Interleukin 10 gene deficient mouse model of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
DownloadFall 2010
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that occurs as a consequence of a genetic mutation that results in an overly aggressive immune response to normal bacteria. Metabolomics is a new born cousin to genomics and proteomics and involves a high throughput...

Bell, R.C., Mostyn, A., Astbury, S., Symonds, M.E.
Adequate adaptation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is important during pregnancy to ensure that the increased metabolic demands by the developing fetus are met. These include changes in surface area mediated by villus hypertrophy and enhanced functional capacity of individual nutrient...
