Deoxynivalenol (DON), a secondary product of Fusarium metabolism, is common in wheat, corn, barley and other grain crops, posing a variety of adverse effects to environment, food safety, human and animal health. The absorption of DON mainly occurs in the proximal part of the small intestine, which can induce intestinal mucosal epithelial injury, and ultimately affect the growth performance and production performance of animals. This study was conducted to investigate the protective effects of selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs)-enriched Lactobacillus casei ATCC 393 (L. casei ATCC 393) on intestinal barrier function of C57BL/6 mice exposed to DON and its association with endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and gut microbiota. The results showed that DON exposure increased the levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8), decreased the levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), caused a redox imbalance and intestinal barrier dysfunction, decreased the mRNA levels of endoplasmic reticulum- resident selenoproteins, activated ERS-protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK) signaling pathway, altered the composition of the gut microbiota and decreased short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) content. Dietary supplementation with SeNPs-enriched L. casei ATCC 393 can effectively protect the integrity of intestinal barrier function by reducing inflammatory response, enhancing the antioxidant capacity, up-regulating the mRNA levels of endoplasmic reticulum-resident selenoproteins, inhibiting the activation of PERK signaling pathway, reversing gut microbiota dysbiosis and increasing the content of SCFAs in mice exposed to DON. In conclusion, dietary supplementation with SeNPs-enriched L. casei ATCC 393 effectively alleviated intestinal barrier dysfunction induced by DON in C57BL/6 mice, which may be closely associated with the regulation of ERS and gut microbiota.

Article Synopsis
- Primary liver cancer (PLC), including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), has a high mortality rate and current treatments are limited with severe side effects, highlighting the need for new therapies.
- The study investigates the anticancer effects of two Lactobacilli strains (Lp 12 and Lp 355), derived from grapes, and compares them to the well-studied strain (Lc 393) on PLC cell lines, testing them in various forms and combinations with standard chemotherapy.
- Results indicate that both live suspensions and sonicated extracts of the Lactobacilli strains significantly inhibited PLC cell growth and showed synergistic effects when combined with chemotherapeutics, allowing for lower doses

Gut dysbiosis and an inflamed bowel are growing concerns in mammals, including dogs. Probiotic supplements have been used to restore the natural microbial community and improve gastrointestinal health. Biofilm formation, antimicrobial activities, and immunological responses of probiotics are crucial to improving gut health.

Introduction: The objective of this study is to investigate the shear bonding strength of a glycoalkaloid, also a novel matrix metalloproteinase enzyme known as α-tomatine, on two different surfaces of dentin (sound & caries-affected) and its efficacy against cariogenic microorganisms using in vitro and in silico methods.
Methods: The effect of a-tomatine at different concentrations (0.75 / 1 / 1.

The prebiotic capacity of Pectin Oligosaccharides (POS) is influenced by structural factors such as molecular size, composition, and degree of esterification, which affect their interaction with the gut microbiota. While existing literature has predominantly examined POS derived from apple and citrus pectins, the extrapolation of these findings to other pectin sources remains complex due to variations in their composition. This study focused on obtaining POS with prebiotic potential from pisco grape pomace through controlled enzymatic hydrolysis, resulting in three molecular size fractions: <3 kDa, 3-10 kDa, and > 10 kDa.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in modulating the performance of probiotic, mainly Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), in the field of probiotic food. Attenuation, induced by sub-lethal stresses, delays the probiotic metabolism, and induces a metabolic shift as survival strategy. In this paper, RNA sequencing was used to uncover the transcriptional regulation in Lacticaseibacillus casei ATCC 393 after ultrasound-induced attenuation.
