This study was conducted to investigate the effects of Romboutsia ilealis on the immune function of broilers and the underlying mechanisms. A total of 48 one-day-old Arbor Acres broilers were allocated to 4 groups as follows: broilers treated daily with 1 mL live R. ilealis in general anaerobic medium broth media (0, 1 × 104, 1 × 106, and 1 × 108 CFU/mL) from days 1 to 7. Samples were collected on days 8 and 14. The results showed that R. ilealis had no negative effect on the body weight of broilers (P > 0.05). R. ilealis significantly increased the levels of lysozyme, IFN-γ, IFN-γ/IL-4, and IgG in the serum (P < 0.05). R. ilealis significantly increased the levels of IL-4, IFN-γ, sIgA, lysozyme, and iNOS in the ileal mucosa (P < 0.05). R. ilealis significantly increased the mRNA levels of TLR2, TLR4, NF-κB, IL-1β, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IgA, pIgR, iNOS, and MHC-II in the ileum (P < 0.05). R. ilealis significantly increased the relative abundance of Enterococcus and Paracoccus in the jejunum and ileum, ileal Candidatus Arthromitus, and cecal Romboutsia and Intestinimonas (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that Enterococcus, Paracoccus, Romboutsia, and Intestinimonas were significantly positively correlated with humoral immune function (P < 0.05). In conclusion, R. ilealis boosted the immune system, activated the intestinal TLR2/NF-κB signaling pathway, and improved the gut microbiota in broilers.

Many studies have shown that specific lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains can delay obesity, offering a viable alternative to medications and surgeries. However, the mining and development of highly effective LAB strains for obesity control is still limited. In this study, the naturally highly acid-tolerant and gamma-aminobutyric acid-producing D17 and its deletion strain were used to investigate their anti-obesity effects.

The activation of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) in the ileum has been shown to regulate Paneth cell-specific defensins, a large family of antimicrobial peptides; hence, this may serve as a potential mechanism to maintain intestinal homeostasis. Previously, we have demonstrated that a combination of vitamin D (VD) and fructooligosaccharides (FOSs) upregulates colonic in mice. Here, we aim to examine the effect of VD, alone or in combination with FOSs, on intestinal barrier integrity and the secretion of antimicrobial peptides, as well as the gut microbial community.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Danggui Sini Decoction (DGSD), which is commonly used to treat sciatica, has been shown to have an analgesic effect, but the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Here, Danggui Sini Decoction was shown to normalize the intestinal microbiota and serum metabolite levels to exert an analgesic effect.
Aim Of The Study: This study aimed to elucidate the therapeutic effects of DGSD on sciatica and the underlying mechanisms involved.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated exopolysaccharides from the bacterium Clostridium ventriculi, which were previously thought to be mainly cellulose, but were found to contain (1,3;1,4)-β-D-glucans.
- Researchers used the enzyme lichenase to break down these exopolysaccharides, confirming the presence of (1,3;1,4)-β-D-glucans rather than cellulose.
- Genomic analysis identified two glycosyltransferase genes (CvGT2-1 and CvGT2-2) that were shown to encode enzymes responsible for synthesizing (1,3;1,4)-β-D-glucans in yeast experiments.
