Background: Gut microbiome and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are implicated in the development of depression, but the effect of their interactions on the risk of depression remains unclear. We aim to analyze the effect of interactions between gut microbiome and IBD on the risk of depression, and explore candidate genes involving the interactions.
Methods: Using the individual genotype and depression traits data from the UK Biobank, we calculated the polygenetic risk scores (PRS) of 114 gut microbiome, ulcerative colitis (UC), Crohn's disease (CD), and total IBD (CD + UC) respectively. The effects of interactions between gut microbiome and IBD on depression were assessed through a linear regression model. Moreover, for observed significant interactions between gut microbiome PRS and IBD PRS, PLINK software was used to test pair-wise single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) interaction of corresponding gut microbiome PRS and IBD PRS on depression.
Results: We found 64 candidate interactions between gut microbiome and IBD on four phenotypes of depression, such as × (CD + UC) for patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score ( = 1.48 × 10), × UC for self-reported depression ( = 2.83 × 10) and × CD for age at first episode of depression ( = 8.50 × 10). We observed interactions of gut-microbiome-associated SNPs × IBD-associated SNPs, such as -associated rs147650986 () × IBD-associated rs114471990 () ( = 2.26 × 10).
Conclusion: Our results support the effects of interactions between gut microbiome and IBD on depression risk, and reported several novel candidate genes for depression.

Background: Accurate classification of host phenotypes from microbiome data is crucial for advancing microbiome-based therapies, with machine learning offering effective solutions. However, the complexity of the gut microbiome, data sparsity, compositionality, and population-specificity present significant challenges. Microbiome data transformations can alleviate some of the aforementioned challenges, but their usage in machine learning tasks has largely been unexplored.

Background: Obesity and metabolic syndrome are major public health concerns linked to cognitive decline with aging. Prior work from our lab has demonstrated that short-term high fat diet (HFD) rapidly impairs memory function via a neuroinflammatory mechanism. However, the degree to which these rapid inflammatory changes are unique to the brain is unknown.

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a highly effective therapy for malignant blood illnesses that pose a high risk, as well as diseases that are at risk due to other variables, such as genetics. However, the prevalence of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) has impeded its widespread use. Ensuring the stability of microbial varieties and associated metabolites is crucial for supporting metabolic processes, preventing pathogen intrusion, and modulating the immune system.

Purpose Of Review: The advent of checkpoint immunotherapy has dramatically changed the outcomes for patients with cancer. However, a considerable number of patients have little or no response to therapy. We review recent findings on the connection between the gut microbiota and the immune system, exploring whether this link could enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy.

Particulate air pollutants, a major air pollution component, are detrimental to human health and a significant risk to wildlife and ecosystems globally. Here we report the effects of particulate pollutant black carbon on the beneficial gut microbiome of important global insect pollinator, the buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris). Our data shows that exposure to black carbon particulates alters biofilm structure, gene expression and initial adhesion of beneficial bee gut coloniser, Snodgrassella alvi.
