Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), comprising Crohn’s (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), is a heterogeneous state of chronic intestinal inflammation with no exact known cause. Intestinal innate immunity enacted by neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), lymphoid NK cells, characterized their capacity to produce rapid nonspecific reaction as first-line response. Innate immune (IIC) defend against pathogens excessive entry microorganisms, while preserving tolerance resident microbiota. Changes this equilibrium are linked in the gut IBD. IICs mediate host defense responses, inflammation, tissue healing producing cytokines chemokines, activating complement cascade phagocytosis, or presenting antigens activate adaptive exert important functions that promote ameliorate cellular molecular mechanisms underlie sustain A comprehensive understanding underlying these clinical manifestations will be for developing therapies targeting system IBD patients. This review examines complex roles interactions among IICs, other non-immune homeostasis pathological conditions.

Abstract The human gastrointestinal tract is populated with a diverse microbial community. vast genetic and metabolic potential of the gut microbiome underpins its ubiquity in nearly every aspect biology, including health maintenance, development, aging, disease. advent new sequencing technologies culture-independent methods has allowed researchers to move beyond correlative studies toward mechanistic explorations shed light on microbiome–host interactions. Evidence unveiled bidirectional communication between central nervous system, referred as “microbiota–gut–brain axis”. microbiota–gut–brain axis represents an important regulator glial functions, making it actionable target ameliorate development progression neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we discuss mechanisms As provides essential cues microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, examine communications microbiota these cells during healthy states Subsequently, diseases using metabolite-centric approach, while also examining role microbiota-related neurotransmitters hormones.

Gut microbiota disorders damage the intestinal barrier, which causes disease. Thus, we screened with significant changes using an in situ malignant colorectal cancer (CRC) model. Among colonies increased abundance, Akkermansia muciniphila ( A. ) is known for its characteristic of breaking down mucin, essential component barrier. The role remains controversial. To investigate effect excess on established over-colonized mouse model by administering a live bacterial suspension after disrupting original gut microbiome antibiotics. results showed that over-colonization decreased mucin content. mRNA and protein expression levels tight junction proteins also significantly Our findings reveal colonization breaks dynamic balance between secretion degradation, reduces thickness mucus layer, damages would eventually aggravate development colitis CRC. These will raise awareness about safety serving as probiotic.

Infecting about half of the world´s population, Helicobacter pylori is one most prevalent bacterial infections worldwide and strongest known risk factor for gastric cancer. Although H. colonizes exclusively epithelium, infection has also been associated with various extragastric diseases, including colorectal cancer (CRC). Epidemiological studies reported an almost two-fold increased infected individuals to develop CRC, but only recently, direct causal functional links between chronic CRC have revealed. Besides modulating host intestinal immune response, thought increase by inducing gut microbiota alterations. It that not impacts at site leads changes in colonization distal large intestine. Considering microbiome plays a driving role emerges as key responsible promoting signatures could contribute tumor development. Within this review, we want focus on interplay infection, microbiota, immunity. In addition, effects antibiotic eradication therapy will be discussed.

The human gastrointestinal tract hosts a complex and dynamic community of microorganisms known as the gut microbiota, which play pivotal role in numerous physiological processes, including digestion, metabolism, immune function. Recent research has highlighted significant impact diet on microbiota composition functionality, consequential effects host health. Concurrently, there is growing evidence linking to inflammation, key factor many chronic diseases such inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular (CVDs). This review explores how dietary components influence composition, these microbial changes affect pathways, therapeutic implications modulating this axis for prevention management. Beneficial patterns, Mediterranean (MD) plant-based diets, promote diverse balanced supporting anti-inflammatory pathways. Conversely, Western (WD), high saturated fats refined sugars, associated with dysbiosis increased inflammation.
