Background: Smoking is a significant risk factor for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). This study aimed to investigate the effects of smoking on the pancreatic microbiome and metabolome in resectable and unresectable male PDAC patients.
Methods: The pancreatic tissue samples were collected from resectable PDACs via surgery and unresectable PDACs via endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA). Surgical samples obtained from 10 smoking and 6 non-smoking PDACs were measured by 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) gene sequencing and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS). Fine needle aspiration (FNA) samples obtained from 20 smoking and 14 non-smoking PDACs were measured by 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
Results: From resectable to unresectable patients, the dominant genus in the pancreas changed from Achromobacter to Delftia. Smoking further altered the abundance of specific bacteria, mainly manifested as an increase of Slackia in surgical tumor tissue of the smoking group, and an enrichment of Aggregatibacter and Peptococcus in FNA samples of the smoking group. In tumor tissue, smoking caused an enrichment of the cancer-promoting cAMP signaling pathway and L-lactic acid. In paracancerous tissue, smoking also induced a detrimental disturbance in the pancreatic microbiome and metabolome, including an enrichment of Veillonella, Novosphingobium, Deinococcus, and 3-hydroxybutanoic acid, and a reduction of linoleic acid. Besides, the cancer-promoting L-lactic acid was negatively correlated with Faecalibacterium in tumor tissue based on the correlation analysis.
Conclusion: There were differences in the pancreatic microbiome of PDAC patients at different stages, and smoking can further disrupt the pancreatic microbiome and metabolism in PDAC.

Introduction: Colonic fibrosis is a long-term complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), often leading to functional impairment, intestinal obstruction, and surgery. Adiponectin (APN) is an adipokine derived from adipocytes that plays a pleiotropic role in fibrosis regulation, depending on tissue and cell type specific or disease context, but its role in colonic fibrosis remains unclear.
Objective: To explore the role and involved mechanism of APN in chronic colitis-associated colonic fibrosis.

Changes to the composition of the microbiome in neoplasia, is termed oncobiosis, may affect tumor behavior through the changes to the secretion of bacterial metabolites. In this study we show, that ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), a bacterial metabolite, has cytostatic properties in pancreatic adenocarcinoma cell (PDAC) models. UDCA in concentrations corresponding to the human serum reference range suppressed PDAC cell proliferation.

Oral formulation is the ideal treatment method for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) therapy, but the mucosal damage and diarrhea symptoms impede the drug retention around the inflammatory region, severely limiting IBD therapeutic efficacy. To address this, an oral astaxanthin (Ast) precise delivery formulation is developed with the selective Ast anchoring around the inflammatory region by the novel lactoferrin (LF)-responsive flocculation. This formulation also heightens the apparent solubility of Ast with the minimized edible safety risks for the edible raw materials.

Recent studies have revealed that intratumoral microbiota is implicated in pancreatic cancer (PC), yet the spectra of intratumoral microbiota and their relationship with PC in Chinese patients remained to be clarified. In this study, tumor and paired paracancerous tissue from 53 patients were profiled by bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Both and -diversity displayed significant differences between tumors and adjacent tissues, with higher diversity in tumors.
