Butyrate, one of the most abundant microbial-derived metabolites in the gut, is important in regulating intestinal homeostasis. In this study, we used untargeted global metabolomics to landscape the intestinal epithelial cellular metabolites changed by butyrate treatment.
An anaerobe-dominant, Lactobacillus-deplete cervicovaginal microbiome is associated with adverse reproductive outcomes. Gardnerella vaginalis, a cervicovaginal anaerobe, alters cervicovaginal epithelial cell function, resulting in immune activation and barrier breakdow...
Colonization by H. pylori is associated with a wide range of gastric diseases, ranging from superficial gastritis to more severe pathologies, including intestinal metaplasia and adenocarcinoma. The interplay of the host response and the pathogen affect the outcome of disease. One major component ...
EMT is a metastasis-promoting process whose heterogeneity has been extensively studied at a gene expression level. EMT also involves reprogramming of lipid metabolism, however there has been little focus on heterogeneity on the lipid level. Here, we use MALDI-MSI to determine the levels of variou...
The core objective of this study is to clarify the promoting effect of oral ingestion of microplastics on gastric epithelial cell carcinogenesis, systematically decipher the underlying molecular regulatory mechanisms, focus on investigating the key molecular targets involved in oxidative stress i...
Scope: The Caco2/HT29-MTX co-culture system is widely used as a cell model of the intestinal epithelium. Although the gut epithelium plays an important role in the uptake of free fatty acids and the resynthesis of triglycerides, the lipid distribution profile of the two-dimensional co-culture sys...
Divergence in the targeted amino acid profilings of bovine mammary epithelial cells (BMECs) were systematically captured with regard to 10 individual essential amino acid (EAA) availability. BMECs cultured in 6-well plates were first serum-starved overnight and subsequently assigned to 1 of 12 tr...
