    Abstract: Feed efficiency is an important indicator in the sheep production process, which plays an important role in improving economic benefits and strengthening energy conservation and emission reduction. Compared with the rumen, the fermentation of the hindgut microorganisms can also provide part of the energy for the host, and the composition of the hindgut microorganisms will affect the feed efficiency. Therefore, we hope to find new ways to regulate sheep feed efficiency by studying the sheep gut microbes. In this study, male Hu sheep with the same birth date were raised under the same conditions until 180 days old. The sheep were divided into high and low groups according to the feed conversion ratio (FCR) at 80-180 days old, and the differences in rectal microorganisms between the two groups were compared. The PERMANOVA test showed that there were differences in microorganisms between the two groups (P & lt; 0.05). Combined with linear fitting analysis, a total of 6 biomarkers were identified, including Ruminobacter, Eubacterium_xylanophilum_group, Romboutsia, etc. Functional enrichment analysis showed that microorganisms may affect FCR through volatile fatty acids (VFAs) synthesis and inflammatory response. At the same time, we conducted a longitudinal analysis of the hindgut microbes, sampling 9 time points throughout the sheep birth to market stages. The microbiota is clearly divided into two parts: before weaning and after weaning, and after weaning microbes are less affected by before weaning microbial composition.

    Abstract: Macrophage (Mφ) activation plays a critical role in the inflammatory response. Activated Mφ go through profound reprogramming of cellular metabolism. However, changes in their intracellular energy metabolism and its effect on inflammatory responses in Crohn’s disease (CD) remain currently unclear. The aim of this study is to explore metabolic signatures of CD14+ Mφ and their potential role in CD pathogenesis as well as the underlying mechanisms. Methods CD14+ Mφ were isolated from peripheral blood or intestinal tissues of CD patients and control subjects. Real-time flux measurements and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay were used to determine the inflammatory states of Mφ and metabolic signatures. Multiple metabolic routes were suppressed to determine their relevance to cytokine production. Results Intestinal CD14+ Mφ in CD patients exhibited activated glycolysis compared with those in control patients. Specifically, macrophagic glycolysis in CD largely induced inflammatory cytokine release. The intestinal inflammatory microenvironment in CD elicited abnormal glycolysis in Mφ. Mechanistically, CD14+ Mφ derived exosomes expressed membrane tumor necrosis factor (TNF), which engaged TNFR2 and triggered glycolytic activation via TNF/nuclear factor κB autocrine and paracrine signaling. Importantly, clinically applicable anti-TNF antibodies effectively prevented exosomal membrane TNF–induced glycolytic activation in CD14+ Mφ. Conclusions CD14+ Mφ take part in CD pathogenesis by inducing glycolytic activation via membrane TNF–mediated exosomal autocrine and paracrine signaling. These results provide novel insights into pathogenesis of CD and enhance understanding of the mechanisms of anti-TNF agents.

    Abstract: CrgA has been shown to be a negative regulator of carotenogenesis in some filamentous fungi, while light irradiation is an inducible environmental factor for carotenoid biosynthesis. To clarify the relationship between CrgA and light-inducible carotenogenesis in Blakeslea trispora, the cis-acting elements of the btcrgA promoter region were investigated, followed by the analyses of correlation between the expression of btcrgA and carotenoid structural genes under different irradiation conditions. A variety of cis-acting elements associated with light response was observed in the promoter region of btcrgA, and transcription of btcrgA and carotenoid structural genes under different irradiation conditions was induced by white light with a clear correlation. Then RNA interference and overexpression of btcrgA was performed to investigate their effects on carotenogenesis at different levels under irradiation and darkness. The analyses of transcription and enzyme activities of carotenoid structural gene, and accumulation of carotenoids among btcrgA-interfered, btcrgA-overexpressed and wild-type strains under irradiation and darkness indicate that btcrgA negatively regulates the synthesis of carotenoid in darkness, while promotes the carotenogenesis under irradiation regardless of reduced or over expression of btcrgA.

    Abstract: Rumen microbes play an important role in the growth and development of ruminants. Differences in variety will affect the rumen community structure. The three excellent sheep breeds were selected for this study (Hu sheep, Tan sheep, and Dorper sheep) have different uses and origins. The sheep were raised on the same diet to 180 d of age in a consistent environment. 16S rDNA V3 to V4 region sequencing was used to assess the rumen microbes of 180 individuals (60 per breed). There were differences in microbial diversity among different sheep breeds (P & lt; 0.05). Principal coordinate analysis showed that the three varieties were separated, but also partially overlapped. Linear discriminant analysis effect size identified a total of 19 biomarkers in three breeds. Of these biomarkers, five in Hu sheep were significantly negatively correlated with average feed conversion rate (P & lt; 0.05). Six biomarkers were identified in the rumen of Dorper sheep, among which Ruminococcus was significantly positively correlated with body weight at 80 d (P & lt; 0.05). In Tan sheep, Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group was significantly positively correlated with meat fat, and significantly positively correlated with volatile fatty acids (VFAs), such as butyric acid and isobutyric acid (P & lt; 0.05). The Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group may regulate Tan mutton fat deposition by affecting the concentration of VFAs. Functional prediction revealed enrichment differences of functional pathways among different sheep breeds were small. All were enriched in functions, such as fermentation and chemoheterotrophy. The results show that there are differences in the rumen microorganisms of the different sheep breeds, and that the microorganisms influence the host.

    Abstract: Sustained activation of CD4+ T cells plays important roles in the pathogenesis of Crohn’s disease [CD]. Under physiologic conditions, activated T cells can be timely eliminated by a process termed activation-induced cell death [AICD] , restraining T cell over-activation and preventing immunological destruction. We inquired whether defective AICD might explain CD4+ T cell over-activation in CD and investigated the underlying mechanisms. Methods CD14+ macrophages [Mφ] and CD4+ T cells were isolated from intestinal tissues or peripheral blood of controls and CD patients. An ex vivo evaluation system was employed to simulate AICD and cell apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry. Results CD4+ T cells from CD patients fail to undergo AICD in the ex vivo system. Specifically, proinflammatory type 1 helper T [Th1] and type 17 helper T [Th17] cells, rather than immunosuppressive regulatory T [Treg] cells evade AICD in CD. CD14+ Mφ in the intestinal inflammatory microenvironment of CD promote AICD resistance in CD4+ T cells via a cell-to-cell contact-independent manner. Mechanistically, CD14+ Mφ released exosomes express membrane tumour necrosis factor [TNF] which engages TNFR2 on CD4+ T cells and triggers NF-κB signalling, thereby causing AICD resistance. Importantly, clinically applicable anti-TNF antibodies effectively blocked exosomal membrane TNF-induced CD4+ T cell AICD resistance. Conclusions CD14+ Mφ participate in CD pathogenesis by inducing AICD resistance through release of exosomal membrane TNF to activate the TNFR2/NF-κB pathway in CD4+ T cells. These results present new insights into CD pathogenesis and extend mechanistic understanding of anti-TNF agents. Proposed model CD14+ Mφ in the intestinal microenvironment of CD patients maintain the sustained activation of CD4+ T cells through exosomal membrane TNF to induce apoptosis resistance via TNFR2/NF-κB signalling, which could be effectively blocked by clinically applicable anti-TNF agents.

    Abstract: Animal growth traits are important and complex traits that determine the productivity of animal husbandry. There are many factors that affect growth traits, among which diet digestion is the key factor. In the process of animal digestion and absorption, the role of gastrointestinal microbes is essential. In this study, we transplanted two groups of sheep intestinal microorganisms with different body weights into the intestines of mice of the same age to observe the effect of fecal bacteria transplantation on the growth characteristics of the mouse model. The results showed that receiving fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) had an effect on the growth traits of recipient mice (P  & lt; 0.05). Interestingly, only mice receiving high-weight donor microorganisms showed differences. Use 16S rDNA sequencing technology to analyze the stool microorganisms of sheep and mice. The microbial analysis of mouse feces showed that receiving FMT could improve the diversity and richness of microorganisms (P  & lt; 0.05), and the microbial composition of mouse feces receiving low-weight donor microorganisms was similar to that of the control group, which was consistent with the change trend of growth traits. The feces of high-weight sheep may have higher colonization ability. The same five biomarkers were identified in the donor and recipient, all belonging to Firmicutes, and were positively correlated with the body weight of mice at each stage. These results suggest that FMT affects the growth traits of receptors by remodeling their gut microflora.
