Project description:Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most common causes of cancer-associated death worldwide, with a low rate of 5-year survival. Currently, the pathogenesis of PC is complicated, with no efficient therapy. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 further exacerbates the challenge of patients with PC. The alteration of gut microbiota caused by COVID-19 infection may impact PC progression in patients via immune regulation. The expression of inflammatory immune mediators such as interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and IL-10 has been found to increase in both PC and COVID-19 patients, which is associated with the disease severity and prognostic outcome. Gut microbiome serves as a critical connector between viral infection and PC. It can regulate host systemic immune response and impact the efficacy of immunotherapy. Here, we first demonstrated the features of inflammatory cytokines in both diseases and their impact on disease outcomes. Then, we demonstrated the importance of immunotherapeutic strategies. This includes the immune modulation that targets a single or dual receptors using a single agent or their combinations for the treatment of PC in patients who get infected with COVID-19. Additionally, we explored the possibility of managing the disease by regulating gut microbiome. Overall, modulation of the lung-gut-pancreases axis can boost anti-cancer immunotherapy and reduce adverse prognostic outcomes.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, is a neurodegenerative disease that seriously threatens human health and life quality. The main pathological features of AD include the widespread deposition of amyloid-beta and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. So far, the pathogenesis of AD remains elusive, and no radical treatment has been developed. In recent years, mounting evidence has shown that there is a bidirectional interaction between the gut and brain, known as the brain-gut axis, and that the intestinal microbiota are closely related to the occurrence and development of neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we will summarize the laboratory and clinical evidence of the correlation between intestinal flora and AD, discuss its possible role in the pathogenesis, and prospect its applications in the diagnosis and treatment of AD.

Project description:IntroductionCurrent evidence supports a vital role of the microbiota on health outcomes, with alterations in an otherwise healthy balance linked to chronic medical conditions like celiac disease (CD). Recent advances in microbiome analysis allow for unparalleled profiling of the microbes and metabolites. With the growing volume of data available, trends are emerging that support a role for the gut microbiota in CD pathogenesis.Areas coveredIn this article, the authors review the relationship between factors such as genes and antibiotic exposure on CD onset and the intestinal microbiota. The authors also review other microbiota within the human body (like the oropharynx) that may play a role in CD pathogenesis. Finally, the authors discuss implications for disease modification and the ultimate goal of prevention. The authors reviewed literature from PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science.Expert opinionCD serves as a unique opportunity to explore the role of the intestinal microbiota on the development of chronic autoimmune disease. While research to date provides a solid foundation, most studies have been case-control and thus do not have capacity to explore the mechanistic role of the microbiota in CD onset. Further longitudinal studies and integrated multi-omics are necessary for investigating CD pathogenesis.

Project description:Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is one of the most effective treatment strategies for leukemia, lymphoma, and other hematologic malignancies. However, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) can significantly reduce the survival rate and quality of life of patients after transplantation, and is therefore the greatest obstacle to transplantation. The recent development of new technologies, including high-throughput sequencing, metabolomics, and others, has facilitated great progress in understanding the complex interactions between gut microbiota, microbiota-derived metabolites, and the host. Of these interactions, the relationship between gut microbiota, microbial-associated metabolites, and GVHD has been most intensively researched. Studies have shown that GVHD patients often suffer from gut microbiota dysbiosis, which mainly manifests as decreased microbial diversity and changes in microbial composition and microbiota-derived metabolites, both of which are significant predictors of poor prognosis in GVHD patients. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to summarize what is known regarding changes in gut microbiota and microbiota-derived metabolites in GVHD, their relationship to GVHD prognosis, and corresponding clinical strategies designed to prevent microbial dysregulation and facilitate treatment of GVHD.

Project description:Emerging evidence suggests the complex interactions between gut microbiota and bile acids, which are crucial end products of cholesterol metabolism. Cholestatic liver disease is characterized by dysfunction of bile production, secretion, and excretion, as well as excessive accumulation of potentially toxic bile acids. Given the importance of bile acid homeostasis, the complex mechanism of the bile acid-microbial network in cholestatic liver disease requires a thorough understanding. It is urgent to summarize the recent research progress in this field. In this review, we highlight how gut microbiota regulates bile acid metabolism, how bile acid pool shapes the bacterial community, and how their interactions contribute to the pathogenesis of cholestatic liver disease. These advances might provide a novel perspective for the development of potential therapeutic strategies that target the bile acid pathway.

Project description:Intestinal microbial dysbiosis is associated with Crohn's disease (CD). However, the mechanisms leading to the chronic mucosal inflammation that characterizes this disease remain unclear. In this report, we use systems-level approaches to study the interactions between the gut microbiota and host in new-onset paediatric patients to evaluate causality and mechanisms of disease. We report an altered host proteome in CD patients indicative of impaired mitochondrial functions. In particular, mitochondrial proteins implicated in H2S detoxification are downregulated, while the relative abundance of H2S microbial producers is increased. Network correlation analysis reveals that Atopobium parvulum controls the central hub of H2S producers. A. parvulum induces pancolitis in colitis-susceptible interleukin-10-deficient mice and this phenotype requires the presence of the intestinal microbiota. Administrating the H2S scavenger bismuth mitigates A. parvulum-induced colitis in vivo. This study reveals that host-microbiota interactions are disturbed in CD and thus provides mechanistic insights into CD pathogenesis.

Project description:Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) - acetate, propionate, and butyrate - are important bacterial fermentation metabolites regulating many important aspects of human physiology. Decreases in the concentrations of any or multiple SCFAs are associated with various detrimental effects to the host. Previous research has broadly focused on gut microbiome produced SCFAs as a group, with minimal distinction between acetate, propionate, and butyrate independently, each with significantly different host effects. In this review, we comprehensively delineate the roles of these SCFAs with emphasis on receptor affinity, signaling pathway involvement, and net host physiologic effects. Butyrate is highlighted due to its unique role in gastrointestinal-associated functions, especially maintaining gut barrier integrity. Butyrate functions by promoting epithelial tight junctions, serving as fuel for colonocyte ATP production, and modulating the immune system. Interaction with the immune system occurs locally in the gastrointestinal tract and systemically in the brain. Investigation into research conducted on butyrate production pathways and specific bacterial players involved highlights a unique risk associated with use of gram-positive targeted antibiotics. We review and discuss evidence showing the relationship between the butyrate-producing gram-positive genus, Roseburia, and susceptibility to commonly prescribed, widely used gram-positive antibiotics. Considering gut microbiome implications when choosing antibiotic therapy may benefit health outcomes in patients.

Project description:The gut microbiota has recently been identified as an environmental factor that may promote metabolic diseases. To investigate the effect of gut microbiota on host energy and lipid metabolism, we compared the serum metabolome and the lipidomes of serum, adipose tissue, and liver of conventionally raised (CONV-R) and germ-free mice. The serum metabolome of CONV-R mice was characterized by increased levels of energy metabolites, e.g., pyruvic acid, citric acid, fumaric acid, and malic acid, while levels of cholesterol and fatty acids were reduced. We also showed that the microbiota modified a number of lipid species in the serum, adipose tissue, and liver, with its greatest effect on triglyceride and phosphatidylcholine species. Triglyceride levels were lower in serum but higher in adipose tissue and liver of CONV-R mice, consistent with increased lipid clearance. Our findings show that the gut microbiota affects both host energy and lipid metabolism and highlights its role in the development of metabolic diseases.

Project description:The oral cavity is the initial chamber of digestive tract; the saliva swallowed daily contains an estimated 1.5 × 1012 oral bacteria. Increasing evidence indicates that periodontal pathogens and subsequent inflammatory responses to them contribute to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The intestine and central nervous system jointly engage in crosstalk; microbiota-mediated immunity significantly impacts AD via the gut-brain axis. However, the exact mechanism linking periodontitis to AD remains unclear. In this study, we explored the influence of periodontitis-related salivary microbiota on AD based on the gut-brain crosstalk in APPswe/PS1ΔE9 (PAP) transgenic mice. Saliva samples were collected from patients with periodontitis and healthy individuals. The salivary microbiota was gavaged into PAP mice for two months. Continuous gavage of periodontitis-related salivary microbiota in PAP mice impaired cognitive function and increased β-amyloid accumulation and neuroinflammation. Moreover, these AD-related pathologies were consistent with gut microbial dysbiosis, intestinal pro-inflammatory responses, intestinal barrier impairment, and subsequent exacerbation of systemic inflammation, suggesting that the periodontitis-related salivary microbiota may aggravate AD pathogenesis through crosstalk of the gut-brain axis. In this study, we demonstrated that periodontitis might participate in the pathogenesis of AD by swallowing salivary microbiota, verifying the role of periodontitis in AD progression and providing a novel perspective on the etiology and intervention strategies of AD.
