Probiotics Mechanism of Action on Immune Cells and Beneficial Effects on Human Health

Chiara Mazziotta et al.

Summary: Immune cells and commensal microbes in the human intestine communicate and react with each other to maintain healthy immune activities. Probiotic bacteria can stimulate immune cells and microflora to modulate immune functions and homeostasis. The use of probiotics has potential for improving immune system activities.

Complications and mortality of non-typhoidal salmonella invasive disease: a global systematic review and meta-analysis

Christian S. Marchello et al.

Summary: Complications are frequent in non-typhoidal salmonella invasive disease, and the mortality rate is approximately 15%. Clinicians, particularly in African countries, should be aware of non-typhoidal salmonella invasive disease as a cause of severe febrile illness. Prompt diagnoses and management decisions, including empiric antimicrobial therapy, would improve patient outcomes. Additionally, investments in improving clinical microbiology facilities to identify non-typhoidal salmonella, as well as research efforts towards vaccine development and non-vaccine prevention measures, would prevent illness and death associated with non-typhoidal salmonella invasive disease.

The Gut Microbiota in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Peng Qiu et al.

Summary: Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and intestinal microorganisms play a key role in the development and maintenance of these diseases. However, the specific causes of IBD are still unclear, and it is unknown whether a single transmissible agent is involved. Changes in the bacterial communities in the gut may be due to inflammatory reactions and tissue destruction, rather than causing the disease itself. Antibiotic therapy has generally been ineffective in treating IBD, but recent studies suggest that manipulating the gut microbiota and interacting with the gut immune system through probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics may hold potential in controlling these diseases.

Implication of Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction in Gut Dysbiosis and Diseases

Carmine Stolfi et al.

Summary: The intestinal mucosal barrier, known as intestinal barrier, plays a critical role in maintaining gut homeostasis by regulating the interaction between gut microbes and the host immune system. Genetic defects and environmental factors can disrupt this balance, leading to gut dysbiosis, inflammatory responses, and chronic pathological conditions. This review discusses the molecular and cellular pathways involved in maintaining the structural and functional homeostasis of the intestinal barrier, with a focus on potential alterations that may disrupt this delicate balance.

Development of an in vitro Model of Human Gut Microbiota for Screening the Reciprocal Interactions With Antibiotics, Drugs, and Xenobiotics

Abdelaziz El Houari et al.

Summary: The study investigated the reciprocal interactions between a constructed Human Gut Microbiota Model (HGMM) and molecules including antibiotics, drugs, and xenobiotics by combining culture-dependent and DNA-based approaches with UHPLC-MS/MS analyses. The results showed that the sensitivity of the HGMM was mainly affected by antibiotic exposure rather than drugs or xenobiotics. Furthermore, UHPLC-MS/MS analyses revealed the disappearance of some native molecules in the supernatants of the HGMM and individual strains, indicating the biotransformation of molecules by the gut microbiota. The new HGMM model presents a simple, fast, stable, and inexpensive approach for screening the reciprocal interactions between the intestinal microbiota and molecules of interest.

Summary: The intestine barrier relies on its integrity, microbial composition, and immunity. Lactobacilli have been found to play a significant role in maintaining the intestinal balance and barrier function. Both living cells and derivatives of Lactobacilli may have beneficial effects on the gut mucosal barrier.

Antimicrobial peptide human β-defensin-2 improves in vitro cellular viability and reduces pro-inflammatory effects induced by enteroinvasive Escherichia coli in Caco-2 cells by inhibiting invasion and virulence factors' expression

Alessandra Fusco et al.

Summary: Escherichia coli is a common species in the intestinal microbiota. Certain strains, such as enteroinvasive E. coli (EIEC), can acquire new virulence factors to adapt to different intestinal environments. Due to the increasing antibiotic resistance, scientific research focuses on alternative therapeutic approaches for bacterial infections, such as antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). The study created a line of intestinal epithelial cells expressing high levels of AMP human beta-defensin-2 (HBD-2) to investigate its ability to interfere with the pathogenicity mechanisms of EIEC. The results showed that HBD-2 could significantly reduce proinflammatory cytokine expression, EIEC invasiveness, and invasion-associated gene expression.

Inflammatory and Microbiota-Related Regulation of the Intestinal Epithelial Barrier

Giovanni Barbara et al.

Summary: The intestinal epithelial barrier plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis by controlling the passage of nutrients and harmful substances. Tight junctions are responsible for regulating paracellular permeability and maintaining barrier integrity. Factors like cytokines, gut microbiota, and dietary components influence the function of intestinal TJs, highlighting their importance in various diseases such as IBS, IBD, and gluten-related conditions.

Regulation of Neurotransmitters by the Gut Microbiota and Effects on Cognition in Neurological Disorders

Yijing Chen et al.

Summary: Emerging evidence suggests that gut microbiota plays a crucial role in regulating brain activity and cognitive functions through the microbiota-gut-brain axis. The mechanisms by which gut microbiota regulate neurotransmitter production, transportation, and functioning are not well understood, nor are the effects of these interactions on normal brain functions and cognition. Dysbiosis of the microbiome can adversely affect cognitive function, particularly in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

Summary: The intestinal mucosa is made up of a single layer of epithelial cells that are highly polarized and connected by tight junctions. Disruption of the mucus layer and tight junctions can increase intestinal permeability, leading to microbial translocation and systemic disorders. Studying the interaction between antimicrobial peptides and microbiota can help us understand how they play a role in host defense against intestinal pathogens.
