In Vitro Fermentation of Beechwood Lignin-Carbohydrate Complexes Provides Evidence for Utilization by Gut Bacteria

Xiaochen Ma et al.

Summary: Based on current evidence, lignin-carbohydrate complexes (LCCs) may have a positive effect on the gut microbiota. In vitro fermentation experiments showed that LCC extracted from beechwood altered the diversity and composition of gut microbes, resulting in decreased pH and increased concentrations of short-chain fatty acids. The study also found that auxiliary actives involved in lignin degradation were significantly enriched in Proteobacteria.

Recent advances in targeted manipulation of the gut microbiome by prebiotics: from taxonomic composition to metabolic function

Songtao Fan et al.

Summary: Diet-related diseases are characterized by imbalanced gut microbiomes, which can be targeted for therapeutic interventions. Microbiome-based therapies have shown inconsistent results due to individual variability. Personalized microbiome-targeted nutrition therapies are being developed to modulate gut microbiomes more effectively. This review explores the concept of targeted prebiotics, which are specific fibers that can manipulate the gut microbial community. The application of targeted prebiotics in personalized nutrition aims to achieve predictable shifts in the gut microbiome composition and function.

Gut Microbiota-MicroRNA Interactions in Intestinal Homeostasis and Cancer Development

Nataliia Nikolaieva et al.

Summary: Pre-clinical models and clinical studies have shown that the host-microbiota relationship has a significant impact on cancer development and treatment, leading to the emergence of a microbiota-based approach in clinical oncology. Polymorphic microbes are considered a hallmark of cancer, and microRNAs play a crucial role in gene expression regulation. Bidirectional gut microbiota-microRNA interactions have been found to be important for intestinal homeostasis and are associated with inflammatory responses and dysbiosis in gastrointestinal disorders. This review summarizes the current understanding of miRNA expression in the intestine, with a focus on gut microbiota-miRNA interactions related to intestinal homeostasis, the immune system, and cancer development. The potential clinical utility of fecal miRNA profiling as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in colorectal cancer is discussed, as well as the potential of gut microbiota modulation and personalized microRNA therapeutics in improving outcomes for patients with gastrointestinal cancer in the era of precision medicine.

Metabolite interactions between host and microbiota during health and disease: Which feeds the other?

Yan Zhang et al.

Summary: Metabolites produced by the host and microbiota are crucial for human development and health. They play important roles in energy metabolism, cellular communication, and immunity. Microbiota-produced metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids, act as important regulators of intestinal homeostasis. These metabolites, including neurotransmitters and hormones, also modulate host metabolism. The host-microbiota interplays and their metabolites have implications for chronic inflammatory disorders and can be targeted for new drug discovery.
