The gut microbiota is associated with GC; however, the causal association between the gut microbiota and GC remains to be determined. The aim of the present study was to investigate the causal association between gut microbiota and gastric cancer (GC) from the perspective of Mendelian randomization (MR). The present study performed MR analysis using summary statistics from a genome-wide association study of the gut microbiome and GC. Inverse-variance weighted, MR-Egger and weighted median methods were used to investigate the causal relationship between gut microbiota and GC. Heterogeneity tests were performed using Cochrane's Q statistic. Horizontal polytropy was detected using Mendelian Randomization Pleiotropy RESidual Sum and Outlier were eliminated. Estimates from MR indicated that nine gut microorganism remained stable with regard to acceptance of heterogeneity and sensitivity methods. Among them, the genera 7, and UCG014 were associated with an increased risk of GC; by contrast, the family , the genera , FCS020, UCG004 and UCG009, and the order Enterobacteriales decreased the risk of GC development. The present study demonstrated the potential importance of modulating the abundance of gut microbiota for the prevention and treatment of GC.

Introduction: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States with a high mortality rate. In recent years, the traditional opinion about prostate microbiome was challenged. Although there still are some arguments, an escalating number of researchers are shifting their focus toward the microbiome within the prostate tumor environment.

Background: Maintaining gut health is a persistent and unresolved challenge in the poultry industry. Given the critical role of gut health in chicken performance and welfare, there is a pressing need to identify effective gut health intervention (GHI) strategies to ensure optimal outcomes in poultry farming. In this study, across three broiler production cycles, we compared the metagenomes and performance of broilers provided with ionophores (as the control group) against birds subjected to five different GHI combinations involving vaccination, probiotics, prebiotics, essential oils, and reduction of ionophore use.

Animals infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae not only develop respiratory diseases, but also cause digestive diseases through the lung-gut axis mediated by the intestinal flora, and vice versa. Antimicrobial peptides are characterized by their bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, and intestinal flora-regulating properties. However, the effect of cecropin AD (CAD) against mycoplasma pneumonia remains unclear.

The detrimental effects of cadmium (Cd), a hazardous heavy metal, on fish have triggered global concerns. While the ecotoxicity of Cd on fish has been investigated, the impact of Cd on muscle quality and its correlation with the gut microbiota in fish remains scarce. To comprehensively uncover Cd effects based on preliminary muscle Cd deposition, relevant studies, and ecological Cd pollution data, we exposed Labeo rohita to Cd under concentrations of 0.

The interaction of microbial communities with host immunity has become one of the most explored research areas with significant implications for pest control strategies. It has been found that the gut microbiota plays substantial roles in immune response regulation and host-gut microbiome symbiosis, as well as in pathogen resistance and overall fitness in Tephritidae fruit flies that are major pests of agricultural importance. In this review, we discuss the modulation of immune responses of Tephritidae fruit flies by the gut microbiota with particular emphasis on the general interactions between microbiota and the immune system.
