A mechanistic model of intermittent gastric emptying and glucose-insulin dynamics following a meal containing milk components
Download2016
Cant, John P., Steele, Michael A., Stahel, Priska, MacPherson, Jayden A. R., Berends, Harma
To support decision-making around diet selection choices to manage glycemia following a meal, a novel mechanistic model of intermittent gastric emptying and plasma glucose-insulin dynamics was developed. Model development was guided by postprandial timecourses of plasma glucose, insulin and the...

Host resistance to bacterial infections is thought to be dictated by host genetic factors. Infections by the natural murine enteric pathogen Citrobacter rodentium (used as a model of human enteropathogenic and enterohaemorrhagic E. coli infections) vary between mice strains, from mild...

Campylobacter jejuni colonization is associated with a dysbiosis in the cecal microbiota of mice in the absence of prominent inflammation
Download2013
Selinger, L. Brent, Inglis, G. Douglas, Uwiera, Richard R. E., Lone, Abdul, Xu, Yong
Background Campylobacter jejuni causes enterocolitis in humans, but does not incite disease in asymptomatic carrier animals. To survive in the intestine, C. jejuni must successfully compete with the microbiota and overcome the host immune defense. Campylobacter jejuni colonization success varies...

Chemically defined diet alters the protective properties of fructo-oligosaccharides and isomalto-oligosaccharides in HLA-B27 transgenic rats

Koleva, Petya, Ketabi, Ali, Dieleman, Levinus A., Gänzle, Michael G., Valcheva, Rosica
Non-digestible oligosaccharides (NDO) were shown to reduce inflammation in experimental colitis, but it remains unclear whether microbiota changes mediate their colitis-modulating effects. This study assessed intestinal microbiota and intestinal inflammation after feeding chemically defined...

Commensal bacteria and expression of two major intestinal chemokines, TECK/CCL25 and MEC/CCL28, and their receptors
Download2007
Gerdts, Volker, Meurens, Francois, Willing, Benjamin P., Berri, Mustapha, Siggers, Richard H., Van Kessel, Andrew G., Salmon, Henri
Background CCL25/TECK and CCL28/MEC are CC chemokines primarily expressed in thymic dendritic cells and mucosal epithelial cells. Their receptors, CCR9 and CCR10, are mainly expressed on T and B lymphocytes. In human, mouse, pig and sheep CCL25 and CCL28 play an important role in the segregation...

Environmental particulate matter induces murine intestinal inflammatory responses and alters the gut microbiome
Download2013-01-01
Thiesen, Aducio, Rioux, Kevin P., Tso, Robert, Kish, Lisa, Barkema, Herman W., Madsen, Karen L., Vincent, Renaud, Wine, Eytan, Kaplan, Gilaad G., Hotte, Naomi, Gänzle, Michael G.
Background Particulate matter (PM) is a key pollutant in ambient air that has been associated with negative health conditions in urban environments. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of orally administered PM on the gut microbiome and immune function under normal and inflammatory...

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...

Lactobacillus reuteri maintains a functional mucosal barrier during DSS treatment despite mucus layer dysfunction
Download2012
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...

Neutrophil elastase alters the murine gut mirobiota resulting in enhanced Salmonella colonization
Download2012
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...

Small intestine early innate immunity response during intestinal colonization by Escherichia coli depends on its extra-intestinal virulence status
Download2016
Denamur, Erick, Tourret, Jérôme, Dion, Sara, Willing, Benjamin P., Wachtel, Sarah, Finlay, B. Brett, Dufour, Nicolas, Croxen, Matthew A.
Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) strains live as commensals in the digestive tract of the host, but they can also initiate urinary tract infections. The aim of this work was to determine how a host detects the presence of a new UPEC strain in the digestive tract. Mice were orally challenged...
