Article Synopsis
- Microorganisms and their hosts communicate through secreted proteins and small molecules, including volatile compounds (VOCs) like butyrate and propionate, which impact intestinal and immune functions.
- The study focuses on analyzing the VOC secretome of specific bacteria from the intestinal microbiota, particularly their outer membrane vesicles (OMVs), which may have effects beyond the gut.
- More than 60 VOCs were identified in bacterial culture media, including fatty acids and amino acid derivatives, with the first characterization of Bacteroides species' OMVs and their associated volatile compounds.
The local development of atherosclerotic lesions may, at least partly, be associated with the specific cellular composition of atherosclerosis-prone regions. Previously, it was demonstrated that a small population of immature vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) expressing both CD146 and neuron-glial antigen 2 is postnatally sustained in atherosclerosis-prone sites. We supposed that these cells may be involved in atherogenesis and can continuously respond to angiotensin II, which is an atherogenic factor.
