Atractylodes lancea Rhizoma Attenuates DSS-Induced Colitis by Regulating Intestinal Flora and Metabolites

Linghang Qu et al.

Summary: This study compared the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of raw Atractylodes lancea and bran-fried Atractylodes lancea on dextran sulfate sodium-induced ulcerative colitis in mice. The results showed that both preparations alleviated colitis symptoms, inhibited inflammation and restored gut microbial balance. Bran-fried Atractylodes lancea had a better therapeutic effect than raw Atractylodes lancea.

Systematic review of donor and recipient predictive biomarkers of response to faecal microbiota transplantation in patients with ulcerative colitis

Nia Paddison Rees et al.

Summary: This systematic review aims to identify clinical, microbial, and metabolomic biomarkers in donors and recipients that predict the response to FMT in UC. The results suggest that distinct changes in gut microbiota profiles, along with specific baseline characteristics and microbial and metabolomic alterations, may predispose patients towards a successful therapeutic outcome.

Gut Microbiome in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Role in Pathogenesis, Dietary Modulation, and Colitis-Associated Colon Cancer

John Gubatan et al.

Summary: The gut microbiome is crucial in inflammatory bowel disease. Fecal microbial transplants and dietary interventions have been investigated as therapeutic strategies. The gut microbiota composition can be influenced by specific nutrition and diet. Furthermore, the gut microbiome may play a significant role in the development of colitis-associated colon cancer.

Nociceptor neurons direct goblet cells via a CGRP-RAMP1 axis to drive mucus production and gut barrier protection

Daping Yang et al.

Summary: Neuroepithelial crosstalk plays a critical role in gut physiology, particularly in mediating gut barrier protection. Sensory neurons communicate with intestinal goblet cells to promote mucus secretion and gut protection via the CGRP-Ramp1 pathway. Additionally, commensal microbes can activate nociceptors to regulate CGRP release.

Discoidin domain receptor 1(DDR1) promote intestinal barrier disruption in Ulcerative Colitis through tight junction proteins degradation and epithelium apoptosis

Xiaoli Li et al.

Summary: This study reveals that DDR1 regulates the intestinal barrier in colitis by modulating TJ proteins expression and epithelium apoptosis. In DSS-induced colitis, DDR1(-/-) mice showed alleviated intestinal mucosal barrier injuries, upregulated TJ proteins, decreased epithelium apoptosis, and reduced proinflammatory cytokines production.

Metabolic Messengers: bile acids

Alessia Perino et al.

Summary: Bile acids are amphipathic steroid acids that play a crucial role in the regulation of metabolic responses. Their actions through activation of specific receptors control energy homeostasis and alterations in bile acid signaling are associated with metabolic diseases. Modulation of the bile acid pool could be a potential therapeutic approach.

Targeting the alternative bile acid synthetic pathway for metabolic diseases

Wei Jia et al.

Summary: The gut microbiota plays a significant role in glucose and lipid metabolism by regulating bile acid metabolism and affecting multiple signaling pathways. Bile acids are synthesized in the liver through two distinct pathways, influencing cholesterol and lipid catabolism and activating various signaling pathways. Modulating bile acid synthesis and composition could be a novel approach for developing therapies for metabolic diseases.

Differential effect of polysaccharide and nonpolysaccharide components in Sijunzi decoction on spleen deficiency syndrome and their mechanisms

Ping Ma et al.

Summary: The study revealed that Sijunzi decoction (SJZD) has a stronger therapeutic effect on intestinal immune and GI hormone secretion in SDS rats, while the effectiveness of NPS and S-3 showed slight differences. NPS mainly regulates GI hormone secretion and directly improves intestinal immunity, whereas S-3 enhances intestinal immunity by increasing T lymphocyte cell expression and repairing the intestinal barrier directly and indirectly. Additionally, the modulation effect of the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the treatment of SDS with SJZD, NPS, and S-3.

Slimy partners: the mucus barrier and gut microbiome in ulcerative colitis

Jian Fang et al.

Summary: By reviewing the interactions between gut microbiome and the mucus layer, this article sheds light on the potential for developing new treatments for ulcerative colitis (UC). Understanding the bidirectional communication between the gut microbiota and the colon's mucus layer is crucial in addressing the imbalance that leads to UC. The mucus layers play a key role in nourishing 'good' microbes while excluding pathogens, and disruptions in this balance may result in inflammatory bowel diseases.
