Background: A high grain diet causes an ecological imbalance in the gut microbiota and serves as an important endogenous trigger of mastitis in dairy cows, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Our previous study revealed that subacute rumen acidosis (SARA)-associated mastitis has distinct metabolic profiles in the rumen, especially a significant increase in succinate, but the role of succinate in the pathogenesis of mastitis remains unclear.

Results: Succinate treatment exacerbates low-grade endotoxemia-induced mastitis in mice.

Article Synopsis
  • Gut dysbiosis, caused by antibiotic exposure, can lead to infections and increased inflammation in the gut and other organs, but the regulatory processes are not fully understood.
  • This study explores how sialic acids (Neu5Gc and Neu5Ac) influence inflammation related to gut dysbiosis using a mouse model of mastitis.
  • Results show that sialic acids worsen inflammation and promote the growth of specific bacteria (Enterococcus) that correlate with higher inflammatory markers, suggesting potential paths for disease prevention by targeting inflammatory pathways.

Along with mounting evidence that gut microbiota and their metabolites migrate endogenously to distal organs, the 'gut-lung axis,' 'gut-brain axis,' 'gut-liver axis' and 'gut-renal axis' have been established. Multiple animal recent studies have demonstrated gut microbiota may also be a key susceptibility factor for neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and autism. The gastrointestinal tract is innervated by the extrinsic sympathetic and vagal nerves and the intrinsic enteric nervous system, and the gut microbiota interacts with the nervous system to maintain homeostatic balance in the host gut.

Mastitis is a serious disease for humans and animals, which causes huge economic losses in the dairy industry and is hard to prevent due to the complex and unclear pathogenesis. Subacute ruminal acidosis (SARA) has contributed to the development of mastitis by inducing ruminal dysbiosis and subsequent low-grade endotoxemia (LGE), however, how ruminal metabolic changes regulate this progress is still unclear. Our previous study revealed that cows with SARA had increased ruminal retinoic acid (RA) levels, a metabolic intermediate of vitamin A that plays an essential role in mucosal immune responses.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as one of the most significant metabolic diseases worldwide and is associated with heightened systemic inflammation, which has been shown to foster the development of extrahepatic complications. So far, there is no definitive, effective, and safe treatment for NAFLD. Although antidiabetic agents show potential for treating NAFLD, their efficacy is significantly limited by inadequate liver accumulation at safe doses and unwanted side effects.
