Novel indole-propionic acid derivatives were developed as sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) receptor agonists through a systematic SAR study. The optimized and S1P(3) selective S1P(1) agonist 9f induced peripheral blood lymphocyte reduction in vivo and has an excellent efficacy in mouse experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE).

Background & Aim: Dietary shifts replacing animal protein (AP) with plant protein (PP) sources have been associated with lowering cardiometabolic risk (CMR), but underlying mechanisms are poorly characterized. This nutritional intervention aims to characterize the metabolic changes induced by diets containing different proportions of AP and PP sources in males at CMR.

Design: This study is a 4-week, crossover, randomized, controlled-feeding trial in which 19 males with CMR followed two diets providing either 36 % for the control diet (CON-D) or 64 % for the flexitarian diet (FLEX-D) of total protein intake from PP sources.

Hypervirulent (hvKp) is a significant causative agent of invasive hepatic abscess syndrome in Asia, presenting substantial clinical challenges due to its intricate pathogenesis. This study revealed the crucial role of the gut microbiota in fortifying the host's defense against hvKp infection by enhancing interleukin-22 (IL-22), probably through regulating downstream antimicrobial peptides such as Reg3β. In antibiotic-treated mice, we observed that gut microbiota disruption impaired the transformation of tryptophan to indole, a key ligand for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), consequently affecting the regulatory functions of IL-22.

Microalgae have the potential to fix CO into valuable compounds. Low photosynthetic efficiency caused by low light was one of the challenges faced by microalgae carbon sequestration. In this study, Melatonin (MT) and indole-propionic acid (IPA) were used to alleviate the growth inhibition of Spirulina in CAMC system under low light restriction.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) triggers alterations in the maternal microbiome. Alongside metabolic shifts, microbial products may impact clinical factors and influence pregnancy outcomes. We investigated maternal microbiome-metabolomic changes, including over 600 metabolites from a subset of the "Choosing Healthy Options in Carbohydrate Energy" (CHOICE) study.

Metabolites from the gut microbiota define molecules in the gut-kidney cross talks. However, the mechanistic pathway by which the kidneys actively sense gut metabolites and their impact on diabetic chronic kidney disease (DCKD) remains unclear. This study is an attempt to investigate the gut microbiome metabolites, their host targeting genes, and their mechanistic action against DCKD.
