Current Understanding of Bile Acids in Chronic Liver Disease

Naba Farooqui et al.

Summary: Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a major cause of disability-adjusted life years in many countries. The crosstalk between the gut, bile acids, and liver in the nuclear bile acid receptor pathways has gained attention in liver pathology. The influence of bile acids on the gut microbiome and human metabolism offers potential for their use in early and advanced liver diseases.

Physiological Changes and Interactions Between Microbiome and the Host During Pregnancy

Zain Zaki Zakaria et al.

Summary: Recent research has shown that the microbiome plays an important role in human metabolism, immunity, and overall health. The composition of the microbiome is influenced by factors such as environment, diet, weight, and hormones. During pregnancy, significant changes in weight gain and metabolism can lead to alterations in the microbiome. Understanding these microbial changes during pregnancy is crucial for a healthy pregnancy, as they may impact the mother's immune, endocrine, and metabolic status.

Erica Monrose et al.

Summary: Limited data on incidence, predictors, and time to liver abnormalities in patients with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) were studied in a single-center retrospective study. Findings revealed that women with ICP had a higher risk of developing liver abnormalities in the future, indicating the potential benefit of postpartum surveillance for this population.

Stefano Fiorucci et al.

Summary: Bile acids play a crucial role in regulating metabolic processes by integrating their signaling with other receptors in a time-ordered manner synchronized by circadian rhythm. The last decade has seen challenges in developing systemic FXR agonists, with the emergence of intestinal-restricted and dual FXR/GPBAR1 agonists as potential alternatives.

FXR activation protects against NAFLD via bile-acid-dependent reductions in lipid absorption

Bethan L. Clifford et al.

Summary: FXR agonists are used to treat NAFLD by controlling hepatic lipid absorption and fatty acid synthesis, specifically reducing levels of MUFA and PUFA in the liver. This reduction is mediated by repression of specific genes and is independent of other regulatory factors like SHP and SREBP1c. Additionally, tissue-specific FXR KO mice studies show that hepatic FXR controls lipogenic genes while intestinal FXR controls lipid absorption.

Toward the development of defined microbial therapeutics

Youxian Li et al.

Summary: The gut microbiota has significant impacts on host health and is increasingly being viewed as a potential therapeutic target. Clinical studies of microbiota-based therapies, such as fecal microbiota transplantation, have shown efficacy for diseases like Clostridioides difficile infections, inflammatory bowel disease, graft-versus-host disease, and cancer. However, the lack of understanding of the active ingredients and risks of such therapies presents challenges for clinical application, and efforts are underway to identify specific microbes associated with certain phenotypes for well-characterized microbial therapeutics.
