Impact of Pulmonary microbiota on lung cancer treatment-related pneumonia.

Background: The use of immunotherapy is progressively expanding for the treatment of lung cancer, either alone or in combination with radiotherapy. However, treatment-related adverse events, especially pneumonia, significantly limit the drug's effectiveness in treating lung cancer. The occurrence of lung cancer, immunotherapy, and pulmonary radiotherapy can all contribute to the imbalance in the pulmonary microbiota, rendering the lungs more susceptible to inflammatory reactions. Methods: Mouse models of lung transplantation tumor were treated with either PD-1 monoclonal antibody or radiothera…

Bidirectional Mendelian randomization links gut microbiota to primary biliary cholangitis.

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and gut microbiota (GM) are epidemiologically correlated but the causal inter-relationships remain poorly understood. We aim to explore the causal relationships between GM and PBC. Using the MiBioGen consortium, GWAS data for GM at the species level and the largest publicly available PBC GWAS data to date, we performed a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization by the inverse variance weighted, MR-Egger, weighted median, weighted model and MR-PRESSO to elucidate the potential causal role of GM in PBC. To measure the heterogeneity of instrumental variab…

Exploring Therapeutic Advances: A Comprehensive Review of Intestinal Microbiota Modulators.

The gut microbiota establishes a mutually beneficial relationship with the host starting from birth, impacting diverse metabolic and immunological processes. Dysbiosis, characterized by an imbalance of microorganisms, is linked to numerous medical conditions, including gastrointestinal disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and autoimmune disorders. This imbalance promotes the proliferation of toxin-producing bacteria, disrupts the host's equilibrium, and initiates inflammation. Genetic factors, dietary choices, and drug use can modify the gut microbiota. However, there is optimism. Several thera…

Salt-Responsive Gut Microbiota Induces Sex-Specific Blood Pressure Changes.

BACKGROUND: Tryptophan metabolism is important in blood pressure regulation. The tryptophan-indole pathway is exclusively mediated by the gut microbiota. ACE2 (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) participates in tryptophan absorption, and a lack of ACE2 leads to changes in the gut microbiota. The gut microbiota has been recognized as a regulator of blood pressure. Furthermore, there is ample evidence for sex differences in the gut microbiota. However, it is unclear whether such sex differences impact blood pressure differentially through the tryptophan-indole pathway. METHODS: To study the sex-s…

Parasite-gut microbiota associations in wild wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus).

The mammalian gastrointestinal tract provides a habitat for multiple commensal and pathogenic organisms spanning all three domains of life. Both positive and negative interactions occur between gut inhabitants, with potential consequences for host health. Studies of parasite-microbiota associations in natural systems remain scarce, yet are important for understanding how parasite communities and commensal microbiota shape each other, and how these interactions influence host health. Here, we characterize associations between helminth and coccidial infections and gut microbiota profiles in a wi…

The gut microbiota-bile acid axis in cholestatic liver disease.

Cholestatic liver diseases (CLD) are characterized by impaired normal bile flow, culminating in excessive accumulation of toxic bile acids. The majority of patients with CLD ultimately progress to liver cirrhosis and hepatic failure, necessitating liver transplantation due to the lack of effective treatment. Recent investigations have underscored the pivotal role of the gut microbiota-bile acid axis in the progression of hepatic fibrosis via various pathways. The obstruction of bile drainage can induce gut microbiota dysbiosis and disrupt the intestinal mucosal barrier, leading to bacteria tra…

Melatonin Protects Against Colistin-Induced Intestinal Inflammation and Microbiota Dysbiosis.

Colistin is renowned as a last-resort antibiotic due to the emergence of multidrug-resistant pathogens. However, its potential toxicity significantly hampers its clinical utilization. Melatonin, chemically known as N-acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine, is an endogenous hormone produced by the pineal gland and possesses diverse biological functions. However, the protective role of melatonin in alleviating antibiotic-induced intestinal inflammation remains unknown. Herein, we reveal that colistin stimulation markedly elevates intestinal inflammatory levels and compromises the gut barrier. In contrast, p

Therapeutic interventions alter ecological interactions among cystic fibrosis airway microbiota.

The airways of people with cystic fibrosis (CF) often harbor a diverse microbiota and in recent years, much effort has been invested in cataloguing these. In spite of providing a wealth of insight, this cataloguing tells us little about how the organisms interact with one another in the CF airways. However, such relationships can be inferred using the theoretical framework of the Lotka-Volterra (LV) model. In the current work, we use a generalized Lotka-Volterra model to interrogate the nationwide data collected and curated by the UK CF Registry. This longitudinal dataset (covering the period …
