Interrogation of the mammalian gut brain axis using LC-MS/MS-based targeted metabolomics with in vitro bacterial and organoid cultures and in vivo gnotobiotic mouse models

Thomas D. Horvath et al.

Summary: This article presents a quantitative analytical platform for studying the gut-brain axis, including the analysis of signals generated by microbes and hosts, as well as the preparation of gut-brain axis model systems. The platform combines microbial and organoid cultures with in vivo samples and uses liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based metabolomics methods for analyzing microbially derived metabolites. The incorporation of three experimental models enhances the impact of this protocol. This article is of high importance.

Human-Derived Bifidobacterium dentium Modulates the Mammalian Serotonergic System and Gut-Brain Axis

Melinda A. Engevik et al.

Summary: The study found that Bifidobacterium dentium and its metabolite acetate can regulate the serotonergic system in the gut, promote 5-HT release, and improve behavioral performance in adult mice, while Bacteroides ovatus does not have this effect.

Limosilactobacillus reuteri ATCC 6475 metabolites upregulate the serotonin transporter in the intestinal epithelium

M. Engevik et al.

Summary: The intestinal commensal microbe Limosilactobacillus reuteri secretes ethanol, which can upregulate the serotonin transporter (SERT) and may be beneficial for maintaining intestinal homeostasis with respect to serotonin signaling.

Bifidobacterium dentium-derived y-glutamylcysteine suppresses ER-mediated goblet cell stress and reduces TNBS-driven colonic inflammation

Melinda A. Engevik et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that secreted factors from Bifidobacterium dentium can reduce ER stress genes, promote MUC2 secretion, suppress inflammation, and positively modulate the UPR, showing potential benefits for inflammatory bowel diseases.
