AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study examines the effects of a Gram-negative bacteria, commonly found in some beverages, on inflammation and gut health in a mouse model of colitis induced by DSS.
  • - Results showed that this bacteria reduces symptoms of colitis, improves tissue health, and enhances gut microbiota balance by promoting beneficial microbial growth while suppressing harmful ones.
  • - Additionally, it appears to boost the immune response by increasing certain protective genes and lowering inflammatory cytokines, suggesting its potential as a probiotic for bowel diseases.

Article Abstract

, a Gram-negative bacteria observed in some popular beverages, is considered safe and has been studied for its potential therapeutic benefits. In this study, we explored its effects on the inflammatory process, tissue integrity, differential gene expression, and microbiota composition in an experimental dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis model in mice. As a result, alleviated the symptoms caused by DSS administration, as indicated by reduced weight loss, disease activity index, a significant reduction in the colon weight/length ratio, and histopathological improvement. Also, could restore the mucosal barrier as well as increase the expression of and genes. An analysis of 16S rRNA sequences showed that alters gut microbiota, increasing abundance and decreasing . Furthermore, seems to be involved in potentiating a regulatory phenotype by inducing immunomodulatory genes like , , , and and reducing the relative mRNA expression of proinflammatory cytokines , , and . Our data suggest that could alleviate disease progression and be considered a possible probiotic adjuvant for pathologies of the bowel.

Inflammation Targeting-Triggered Healing Hydrogel for In Situ Reconstruction of Colonic Mucosa.

Adv Sci (Weinh)

January 2025

Collaborative Innovation Center for Clinical and Translational Science, Department of Pharmacology and Chemical Biology, & Institute of Molecular Medicine, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, 200025, P. R. China.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by intestinal mucosal damage that exacerbates inflammation and promotes disease recurrence. Although hydrogel-based therapies have shown potential for mucosal repair, challenges remain due to inadequate targeting and low hydrogel density, leading to ongoing infiltration of harmful substances and delayed mucosal healing. In this study, an inflammation-targeting-triggered healing hydrogel (ITTH hydrogel) is developed, composed of polyvinyl alcohol-alginate microgels (PALMs) and a cyclodextrin polymer crosslinker (CPC).

To study the impact of differing specific pathogen-free gut microbiomes (GMs) on a murine model of inflammatory bowel disease, selected GMs were transferred using embryo transfer (ET), cross-fostering (CF), and co-housing (CH). Prior work showed that the GM transfer method and the microbial composition of donor and recipient GMs can influence microbial colonization and disease phenotypes in dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis. When a low richness GM was transferred to a recipient with a high richness GM via CH, the donor GM failed to successfully colonize, and a more severe disease phenotype resulted when compared to ET or CF, where colonization was successful.

Purpose: Ninjury-induced protein 1 (Ninj1) is associated with inflammation and tumor progression and shows increased expression in various cancers. This study aimed to investigate the role of Ninj1 in colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CRC) by focusing on its interaction with 17β-estradiol (E2).

Materials And Methods: Using an azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) mouse model of colitis-associated CRC, wild-type (WT) and Ninj1 knockout (KO) male mice were treated with or without E2.

Macrophages play important roles in maintaining intestinal homeostasis and in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). However, the underlying mechanisms that govern macrophage-mediated inflammation are still largely unknown. In this study, we report that RNF128 is downregulated in proinflammatory macrophages.
