Activation of TLR4 induces severe acute pancreatitis-associated spleen injury via ROS-disrupted mitophagy pathway

E. Wen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanism of spleen injury caused by severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) and explored the potential use of tuftsin in treating spleen damage. The researchers found that the up-regulation of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the spleen leads to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial dysfunction under SAP conditions. They also discovered that N-acetylcysteine (NAC) treatment or knocking out TLR4 can improve splenic ROS and mitochondrial dysfunction in SAP mice. Furthermore, they verified that spleen injury is caused by splenic ROS affecting the PI3K/p-AKT/mTOR pathway-mediated autophagy. The study also showed that tuftsin supplementation can ameliorate the pathological damage, ROS accumulation, impaired autophagy, inflammation expression, and apoptosis in damaged spleen.

Summary: Seabuckthorn polysaccharide (SP) has shown significant amelioration effects on obesity induced by a high-fat diet (HFD) in mice. The effects of SP are mediated through modulation of the gut microbiota and its metabolites, leading to reductions in body weight gain, serum lipid levels, and liver triglyceride levels. SP regulates liver lipid metabolism by influencing the composition of the gut microbiome and increasing the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). These findings suggest that SP could be a potential nutraceutical for alleviating obesity by targeting the gut-liver axis.

Lung Microbiome in Critically Ill Patients

Melanie Fromentin et al.

Summary: The historical hypothesis of sterility of the lungs has been invalidated by studies that prove the existence of diverse bacterial populations in the normal lung, and the association between pulmonary dysbiosis and chronic respiratory diseases. Dysbiosis occurs rapidly during mechanical ventilation, leading to a decline in diversity and the dominance of bacterial pathogens. In acute respiratory distress syndrome, there is an enrichment of intestinal bacteria, but its role in the pathogenesis of ventilator-associated pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome is not fully understood. Further exploration of microbial populations, viruses, and fungi, as well as understanding the host-microbiome interaction, is necessary to fully elucidate the role of the microbiome in acute diseases.

Studies have shown that pectin, a dietary fiber, may have immunomodulatory effects on allergies by altering gut and lung microbiota, increasing the concentrations of short chain fatty acids, and suppressing inflammatory responses.

The Short-Chain Fatty Acid Butyrate Attenuates Pulmonary Vascular Remodeling and Inflammation in Hypoxia-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension

Vijaya Karoor et al.

Summary: Butyrate shows protective effects in a rat model of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension by preventing pulmonary vascular remodeling and increased permeability, reducing right ventricular hypertrophy, and increasing histone H3 acetylation. Additionally, it modulates cytokine profiles in lung tissue and upregulates tight junctional proteins in endothelial cells, suggesting its potential as a complementary treatment for PH and other cardiovascular diseases.

The Intestinal Microbiota: Impacts of Antibiotics Therapy, Colonization Resistance, and Diseases

Taif Shah et al.

Summary: Trillions of microbes coevolved with the human host in the gastrointestinal tract, forming a mutually beneficial relationship. The intestinal microbiome plays a key role in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic microbes through fermentation and production of antimicrobial metabolites. Exposure to antibiotics can trigger a resistome response, affecting colonization resistance and impacting pathogen colonization and diseases.

Leaky Gut: Effect of Dietary Fiber and Fats on Microbiome and Intestinal Barrier

Haruki Usuda et al.

Summary: The intestinal tract acts as a barrier preventing harmful molecules from invading mucosal tissue, with intestinal permeability serving as an index for intestinal barrier integrity. Increased intestinal permeability is associated with various diseases, and chronic increase leads to 'leaky gut,' observed in patients and animal models. Nutrients play a key role in influencing intestinal permeability and the microbiome for a better understanding of leaky gut and its potential mechanisms.

Summary: This study demonstrates a causal link between interindividual variation in gut microbiome and differential effects of dietary fiber on host metabolic phenotypes, suggesting that a one-fits-all fiber supplementation approach to promote health is unlikely to elicit consistent effects across individuals. The findings underscore the importance of microbe-diet interactions on host metabolism and suggest that gut microbes modulate dietary fiber efficacy.

Microbiota-derived butyrate is an endogenous HIF prolyl hydroxylase inhibitor

Ruth X. Wang et al.

Summary: The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in human health by providing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), particularly butyrate, which contribute to gut homeostasis and disease resistance. Butyrate is shown to directly inhibit hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) to stabilize HIF, offering potential therapeutic impact. Microbiota-derived butyrate is essential for stabilizing HIF in murine colonic tissue, suggesting a co-evolution of mammals and mutualistic microbiota in impacting critical gene regulation pathways.
