16S rRNA (gene) based barcoded Illumina sequencing of the microbiota in ileal and colonic luminal content of Ercc1-/Δ7 mice after 10 weeks of Akkermansia muciniphila supplementation

Year: 2019

Type: dataset

Abstract: The use of Akkermansia muciniphila as potential therapeutic intervention is receiving increasing attention. Health benefits attributed to this bacterium include an improvement of metabolic disorders and exerting anti-inflammatory effects. The abundance of A. muciniphila is associated with a healthy gut in early mid- and later life. However, the effects of A. muciniphila on a decline in intestinal health during the aging process are not investigated yet. We supplemented accelerated aging Ercc1-/Δ7 mice with A. muciniphila for 10 weeks and investigated histological, transcriptional and immunological aspects of intestinal health.
