摘要Parkinson’s disease is characterized by synucleinopathy-associated neurodegeneration.Previous studies have shown that glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1)has beneficial effects in a mouse model of Parkinson’s disease induced by 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine.However,the effect of GLP-1 on intrinsic synuclein malfunction remains unclear.In this study,we investigated the effect of Lactococcus lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 on parkinsonism in SncaA53T transgenic mice and explored the underlying mechanisms.Our data showed that Lactococcus lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 inhibited dopaminergic neuronal death,reduced pathological aggregation ofα-synuclein,and decreased movement disorders in SncaA53T transgenic mice.Furthermore,Lactococcus lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 downregulated lipopolysaccharide-related inflammation,reduced cerebral activation of microglia and astrocytes,and promoted cell survival via the GLP-1 receptor/PI3K/Akt pathway in the substantia nigra.Additionally,Lactococcus lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 decreased serum levels of pro-inflammatory molecules including lipopolysaccharide,lipopolysaccharide binding protein,interleukin-1β,and interleukin-6.Gut histopathology and western blotting further revealed that Lactococcus lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 increased the expression of gut integrity-related proteins and reduced lipopolysaccharide-related inflammation by reversing gut dysbiosis in SncaA53T transgenic mice.Our findings showed that the beneficial effect of Lactococcus lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 on parkinsonism traits in SncaA53T transgenic mice is mediated by microglial polarization and the reversal of dysbiosis.Collectively,our findings suggest that Lactococcus lactis MG1363-pMG36e-GLP-1 is a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of Parkinson’s disease.

摘要Polyethylene glycol(PEG)bowel preparation,though widely used,can significantly disrupt gut microbiota composition.Kou et al recently published study in the World Journal of Gastroenterology,which demonstrated that PEG-treated mice challenged with Citrobacter rodentium exhibit higher pathogen loads,elevated virulence gene expression,and worsened colitis,mediated by microbiota dysbiosis.Importantly,Lactobacillus acidophilus supplementation restored microbial balance and mitigated infection severity,suggesting PEG-induced loss of colonization resistance exposes a 14-day infection window.This paradigm aligns with a rare human case of septic shock after PEG bowel preparation,highlighting potential opportunistic infection risk.Probiotic Lactobacillus strengthen the epithelial barrier and modulate immunity,and clinical trials support their efficacy and safety in gastrointestinal contexts.We discuss the translational significance of these findings and advocate microbiota-protective strategies(probiotic supplementation,optimal timing of endoscopy,and dietary adjustments)during bowel preparation.

摘要The interplay between gut microbiota and host health has attracted significant interest in the animal science community.Maintaining gut microbiota homeostasis by supplementing probiotics to treat clinical conditions like calf diarrhea is an emerging area of research nowadays because of increased concerns regarding antimicrobial resistance(AMR)and drug residues in animal products.Probiotics reduce the incidence of calf diarrhea by increasing the gut microbiota diversity and richness with more commensal bacteria such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium that produce antimicrobial compounds,as well as modulating the immune response by increasing cytokines,Interleukin-2(IL-2),IL-4,IL-6,IL-10,and reducing tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),by increasing production of antibodies,especially immunoglobulin E(Ig E),also Ig G,differentiating naive Th lymphocytes(Tho)into Th1,hence stimulate innate immunity and prime the adaptive immune response.Specific probiotic strains of bacteria and yeast(Saccharomyces cerevisiae)derived probiotics maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier.In this review,data are being organized to address the role of probiotics in treating calf diarrhea by modulating gut microbiota and stimulating an immune response against notorious pathogens,to present animal and veterinary scientists and nutritionists with a new concept to treat infectious diseases from the perspective of the gut microbiota,increasing animal health,performance,and welfare.In conclusion,health status and gut microbiome are strongly interlinked.Research data indicated a significant reduction in the incidence of diarrhea after probiotic administration.If interrelations between probiotics and existing gut microbiota are explored more quantitatively,novel antibiotic substitutes can emerge in the future.

摘要Colorectal cancer(CRC)is among the most common malignant tumors and remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide.The gut microbiota and metabolites,which are modulated by host genetics and environmental exposures,have emerged as key contributors to the pathogenesis of CRC.A key feature of gut dysbiosis in CRC is the enrichment of pathogenic bacteria alongside the depletion of beneficial commensals.Probiotic supplementation has been shown to counteract this imbalance and suppress tumor progression.Mechanistically,probiotics suppress CRC development through multifaceted actions,including directly inhibiting tumor cell growth,reducing inflammation,reinforcing the intestinal barrier,and reprogramming host immunity.This review summarizes evidence on the inhibitory role of probiotics in CRC,evaluates the potential of probiotics as predictive biomarkers,and discusses microbiome-modulation strategies designed to enhance immunotherapy and chemotherapy,thereby offering a complementary paradigm for CRC prevention and treatment.

摘要To assess the probiotic potential,safety,and application value of Enterococcus faecalis SZ07(isolated from the intestine of Trachinotus ovatus)in aquaculture,this study combined phenotypic assays and genomic analysis.The strain exhibited typical probiotic-related phenotypes including environmental stress tolerance,intestinal adhesion ability,and antimicrobial activity against aquatic pathogens.Genomic analysis confirmed that SZ07 does not carry key virulence genes,but contains gene clusters involved in the synthesis of probiotic secondary metabolites;it also shared functional similarity with the probiotic strain E.faecalis Symbioflor 1,while displaying marked differences from the pathogenic strain E.faecalis V583.Although E.faecalis SZ07 carried some resistance genes,it remained sensitive to vancomycin,and this carriage did not impair its probiotic functions in vitro.The unique adaptability of this marine-derived strain lays a foundation for its application in aquaculture.

摘要Probiotics can regulate the body’s immune system through both non-specific and specific immunity,thereby regulating host health.In terms of non-specific immune regulation,probiotics can activate the intrinsic immune system,regulate the mucosal barrier function,and play an immune role by influencing the activity of intrinsic immune cells such as macrophages,dendritic cells and natural killer cells,as well as their differentiation and maturation;in terms of specific immune regulation,probiotics play a role in regulating the immunoglobulin level and the maturation of B cells.Probiotics can also regulate T-cell differentiation according to the condition of the body,thus regulating specific immunity.Many studies have focused on the role of probiotics in metabolism and nutrition,and the mechanisms involved in the immunomodulatory role of probiotics have only been partially described.This review summarises the role of common probiotics such as Lactobacillus plantarum and Lactobacillus rhamnosus in immunomodulation as well as their mechanisms,describing the currently known mechanisms of immunomodulation by probiotics in improving the host immune system.A deeper understanding of probiotics and their specific mechanisms of action will facilitate the use of probiotics for immunomodulation in clinical medicine,functional foods,and other areas.This will also contribute to the development and research of engineered probiotics,next-generation probiotics,and other new functional probiotics with immunomodulatory effects.

摘要Probiotics have received considerable attention owing to their potential benefits in maintaining intestinal health,modulating immune function,and antioxidant activity.The antioxidant capacity of recently isolated and screened probiotics have not been characterized.Therefore,the present study used Caenorhabditis elegans as a model to investigate the effects of three novel probiotics(Limosiactobacillus reuteri B1-10,Lactobacillus paragasseri B1-26,and Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus B2-1)and their probiotic complexes,isolated from breast milk,on the ability to delay aging and antioxidant capacity.Probiotics significantly prolonged the lifespan of nematodes by reducing lipofuscin accumulation,and their average lifespan was prolonged by19.40%(B1-10),7.72%(B1-26),19.72%(B2-1)and 20.30%(complex probiotic),respectively.The probiotics reduce nematode fecundity and retard their growth and development,possibly due to dietary restriction.Additionally,the probiotics reduced the accumulation of reactive oxygen species and malondialdehyde content,the reductions were 9.7%-44.5%and 18.69%-46.99%,respectively,and increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes,such as superoxide dismutase,catalase,and glutathione,the increases were 26.22%to 41.72%,30.33%to 83.20%and 77.13%to 171.85%,respectively.The complex probiotic was the most effective in improving the C.elegans resistance to hydrogen peroxide stressors.Furthermore,the probiotics acts on the insulin/insulin-like pathway to regulate the expression of daf-16,which in turn upregulates the expression of sod-3,ctl-1,sod-1,down-regulated the expression of age-1,and promoted the nuclear localization of DAF-16::GFP nematodes to prolong the lifespan and antioxidant capacity of C.elegans.These results provide a new basis and research direction for further analyses of the role of probiotics in maintaining the health,improving stress resistance,and prolonging the lifespan of the host.They also provide potential insights into the development of functional food to facilitate anti-aging management in humans.
摘要The skin-brain axis plays a key role in connecting dermatological health,mental health,and the gut microbiota.This study investigated the associations between anxiety,depression,stress,dermatology-related quality of life(DLQI),and probiotic intake in 305 Brazilian adults.Women presented higher scores for anxiety(13.0±10.5 vs.7.7±8.1,p0.05),likely due to low intake levels.Multiple linear regression showed that stress and depression were independent predictors of anxiety,with a final model of R2=0.66 and p<0.01.The findings highlight the bidirectional nature of the skin-brain axis and the greater burden of psychological and dermatological symptoms in women.Further studies that incorporate culturally relevant dietary patterns and longitudinal designs are needed to clarify these interactions.

摘要Probiotics,classified into monostrain,multistrain and multispecies formulations,have been suggested as effective interventions for alleviating constipation related symptoms by modulating gut motility and microbiota composition.However,the comparative efficacy of these probiotics has not been systematically evaluated.This study presents a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials(RCTs)to assess the effects of monostrain and multispecies probiotics on constipation symptoms and gut microbiota.A total of 15 eligible RCTs were included in the analysis.Probiotic supplementation significantly improved spontaneous bowel movements(standardized mean difference(SMD)=0.60,95%confidence interval(CI)(0.27,0.94),P=0.0005)and stool consistency(SMD=0.25,95%CI(0.03,0.48),P=0.03),but had no significant effect on gut transit time(SMD=-0.04,95%CI(-0.34,0.27),P=0.82)or quality of life(QoL)scores(P=0.42).Importantly,no superior efficacy of multispecies probiotics over monostrain formulations was observed,except for a modest improvement in QoL(P<0.00001).Additionally,probiotics had a measurable impact on gut microbiota composition,although changes in microbial diversity were not consistently correlated with clinical outcomes.Collectively,these findings suggest that probiotics can be effective in alleviating specific constipation-related symptoms,but the choice between monostrain and multispecies formulations should be based on strain-specific characteristics rather than the number of strains or species included.Additionally,this study underscored the need for future research into optimizing strain combinations and understanding probiotic-host interactions to enhance therapeutic outcomes.

摘要We read the paper published in World Journal of Gastroenterology by Yang et al on how Bifidobacterium species alleviate colitis by modulating deoxycholic acid(DCA)levels and macrophage polarization,which provides important insights into the microbiome-immune axis.However,the classic M1/M2 polarization model oversimplifies the plasticity of macrophages and fails to account for the spatial heterogeneity of the intestinal microenvironment.Therefore,we propose integrating spatial transcriptomics and spatial metabolomics to resolve the intricate correlations between DCA distribution and specific macrophage subsets.Building upon this,we further discuss the transition from broad-spectrum probiotic supplementation to mechanism-driven precision probiotic strategies,emphasizing the future need to develop engineered strains capable of spatial awareness and metabolic pathway remodeling.This spatial multiomics-guided precision intervention framework holds promise for advancing colitis treatment toward approaches with greater mechanistic depth.

摘要Probiotic supplementation enhances the abundance of gutassociated Rhodobacteraceae species,critical symbionts contributing to the health and physiological fitness of Litopenaeus vannamei.Understanding the role of Rhodobacteraceae in shaping the shrimp gut microbiota is essential for optimizing probiotic application.This study investigated whether probiotics benefit shrimp health and fitness via the recruitment of Rhodobacteraceae commensals in the gut.Probiotic supplementation significantly enhanced feed conversion efficiency,digestive enzyme activity,and immune responses,thereby promoting shrimp growth.Additionally,probiotics induced pronounced shifts in gut microbial composition,enriched gut Rhodobacteraceae abundance,and reduced community variability,leading to a more stable gut microbiome.Network analysis revealed that the removal of Rhodobacteraceae nodes disrupted gut microbial connectivity more rapidly than the removal of nonRhodobacteraceae nodes,indicating a disproportionate role of Rhodobacteraceae in maintaining network stability.Probiotic supplementation facilitated the migration of Rhodobacteraceae taxa from the aquatic environment to the shrimp gut while reinforcing deterministic selection in gut microbiota assembly.Transcriptomic analysis revealed that up-regulation of amino acid metabolism and NF-κB signaling pathways was positively correlated with Rhodobacteraceae abundance.These findings demonstrate that probiotic supplementation enriches key Rhodobacteraceae taxa,stabilizes gut microbial networks,and enhances host digestive and immune functions,ultimately improving shrimp growth performance.This study provides novel perspectives on the ecological and molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of probiotics on shrimp fitness.

摘要The gut microbiome is a complex community of microorganisms that plays a direct role in the health of both the gastrointestinal tract and the entire body.Numerous factors influence the abundance and diversity of gut microbiota.Microbial imbalance can contribute to disease development.Probiotics are biologically active supplements with promising properties that have high therapeutic potential.Currently,there is a tendency to switch from classic probiotic microorganisms represented by lactic acid bacteria to next-generation probiotics due to their unique ability to influence the human immune system.New-generation probiotics include bacteria such as Akkermansia muciniphila,Faecalibacterium prausnitzii,Bacteroides sp.,Prevotella sp.,Roseburia sp.,and Eubacterium sp.Nextgeneration probiotics can affect host immune cells by secreting various substances,such as butyrate in F.prausnitzii,or through interaction with Toll-like receptors of intestinal epithelial cells,such as A.muciniphila.Studying the role of next-generation probiotics in immune regulation is a promising area of research.This study describes the interactions of next-generation probiotics with the immune system.Understanding the mechanisms of such interactions will improve the treatment of various diseases.
