Intestinal expression in murine antibiotic-induced acceleration of Type 1 diabetes
Here we asked whether the single early-life (pup day of life P5-P10) antibiotic pulse was sufficient to enhance Type-1 Diabetes (T1D) in Non Obese Diabetic (NOD) mice. Two sets of experimental samples were analyzed for changes in intestinal pathway expression using the NOD mouse model and Pulsed Antibiotic Therapy (PAT). NODPAT sought to describe the intestinal changes related to early life PAT treatment while the RESTORE experiment sought to restore an antibiotic-perturbed host and measure the intestinal expression changes over time. We provide evidence that maternal microbiota provides partial restoration of both the altered pup microbiota and its immunological phenotypes.
