Bile acids are synthesized in the liver from cholesterol as a raw material. As a natural "emulsifier", they can promote the dissolution, digestion and absorption of fats, fat-soluble vitamins, etc. Meanwhile, as an important signaling molecule, bile acids can activate the relevant receptors to maintain the homeostasis of hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism, and interact with gut bacteria to ...
Amplicon sequencing is a cutting-edge technique that involves sequencing PCR products or captured fragments of specific lengths, enabling the analysis of sequence variations. Among the diverse applications of this technology, the 16S rRNA gene has emerged as a fundamental tool for sequence-based bacterial analysis, boasting decades of significance. The process of 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing ...
Gut microbes are considered "virtual organs" that influence host health and are involved in disease research. The human gut microbiota has a large gene pool, encoding approximately 100-150 times more genes than the human genome, and contains a rich resource of enzymes with the ability to metabolize drugs. The diversity of gut bacteria also affects the mental health of the host. Microbiomes from ...
Symbiotic microbial groups within the digestive tract of herbivores are the main source of depolymerized lignocellulases. The dolphin is the largest extant rodent, usually living in the Pantanal wetland and Amazon basin, and is also known as the "king of grass" due to its diet based on grasses and aquatic plants. They can efficiently depolymerize and utilize lignocellulosic biomass through ...
The advent of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) has improved the overall survival of patients with a variety of malignancies. However, the problem of drug resistance to ICI therapy remains a major obstacle limiting its clinical application. The development of drug resistance is associated with multiple factors, including the level of PD-L1 expression in tumor cells, the tumor microenvironment, ...
With rapid development in sequencing technology, researchers can better assess the effect of the gut microbiome on human health. Human beings have a symbiotic relationship with the microbiota since birth. The environment, proximity to other humans and animals, diet, genetics, and time changes can all affect the microbial composition of our skin, mouth, and intestines. Compared with other ...
The identification of microbial groups is an important step in understanding the interrelationship of microorganisms in a community. It is done to determine all present microbial taxa and their relative abundance, and as well their phylogenetic relationships. One of the methods used to establish phylogenetic relationships is by sequencing common genes. One of the easiest genes to be sequenced are ...
The gut is a complex ecosystem that contains an extremely large community of microbes known as the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome is made up of bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, and other eukaryotic microorganisms, including yeasts, flagellates, ciliates, and protozoa. The gut microbiota of a healthy individual consists of six phyla (Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, ...
The gut microbiota, which includes Akkermansia muciniphila, is known to modulate energy metabolism, glucose tolerance, immune system maturation and function in humans1,2,3,4. Although A. muciniphila is correlated with metabolic diseases and its beneficial causal effects were reported on host metabolism5,6,7,8, the molecular mechanisms involved have not been identified. Here, we report thatA. ...
Abstract Gut microbiota play a major role in host physiology and immunity. Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), the important immune-related diseases, can occur through immune system malfunction originating due to dysregulation of the gut microbiota. The aim of this study was to investigate the capabilities and mechanisms of Lactobacillus acidophilus (L. acidophilus) KBL402 and KBL409 treatment ...
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with obesity but also found in non-obese individuals. Gut microbiome profiles of 171 Asians with biopsy-proven NAFLD and 31 non-NAFLD controls are analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing; an independent Western cohort is used for external validation. Subjects are classified into three subgroups according to histological spectra of NAFLD or ...
Highlights The depletion of Roseburia is associated with alcohol consumption in human cohorts R. intestinalis ameliorates the experimental ALD in mice regardless of viability Flagellin from R. intestinalis protects on ethanol-disrupted gut barrier functions The ethanol-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis is restored by R. intestinalis Summary Although a link between the gut microbiota ...
ABSTRACT Administration of probiotics has been linked to immune regulation and changes in gut microbiota composition, with effects on atopic dermatitis (AD). In this study, we investigated amelioration of the symptoms of AD using Lactobacillus paracaseiKBL382 isolated from the feces of healthy Koreans. Mice with Dermatophagoides farinaeextract (DFE)-induced AD were fed 1 × 109 CFU ...
Abstract Gut microbiota play an important role in immune responses and energy metabolism. In this study, we evaluated whether administration of Lactobacillus fermentum (L. fermentum) KBL375 isolated from healthy Korean feces improves the atopic dermatitis using the house dust mite (Dermatophagoides farinae)-induced atopic dermatitis (AD) mouse model. Administration of L. fermentum KBL375 ...
