Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), such as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), represent a growing global health concern. Restoring the balance of gut microbiota, crucial factor in intestinal health, offers potential for treating IBD. DP7, novel antimicrobial peptide with potent antibacterial activity, was investigated its anti-inflammatory effects dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC mouse model. DP7 significantly ameliorated key parameters, including activity index, weight loss, shortened colon length, while preserving colonic epithelial integrity reducing inflammatory infiltration. Further analysis revealed targets highlighting significant role Muribaculaceae bacteria during states. To further explore microbiota DP7's efficacy, fecal transplantation (FMT) performed using feces from DP7-treated mice. FMT successfully recipient mice, providing evidence microbiome IBD treatment ability to modulate therapeutic benefit. Moreover, our findings suggest that modulation immune system is intricately linked complex microbial environment. Our demonstrate effectively mitigates inflammation, attenuates barrier dysfunction, shapes suggesting agent UC.

Abstract Background Alteration of the gut microbiota may contribute to development inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major bioactive constituent green tea, is known be beneficial in IBD alleviation. However, it unclear whether exerts an effect when EGCG attenuates IBD. Results We first explored oral or rectal delivery on DSS-induced murine colitis. Our results revealed that anti-inflammatory and colonic barrier integrity were enhanced by oral, but not rectal, EGCG. observed distinct EGCG-mediated alteration microbiome increasing Akkermansia abundance butyrate production. Next, we demonstrated pre-supplementation induced similar outcomes administration. Prophylactic attenuated colitis significantly enriched short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)-producing bacteria such as SCFAs production mice. To validate these discoveries, performed fecal transplantation (FMT) sterile filtrate (SFF) inoculate DSS-treated Microbiota from EGCG-dosed mice alleviated over control SFF shown superiorly integrity, also SCFAs. Collectively, attenuation suggests intimate involvement SCFAs-producing , SCFAs, which was further prophylaxis FMT.

The intestinal epithelial barrier (IEB) is one of the largest interfaces between environment and internal milieu body. It essential to limit passage harmful antigens microorganisms and, on other side, assure absorption nutrients water. maintenance this delicate equilibrium tightly regulated as it for human homeostasis. Luminal solutes ions can pass across IEB via two main routes: transcellular pathway or paracellular pathway. Tight junctions (TJs) are a multi-protein complex responsible regulation permeability. TJs control through have key role in maintaining integrity. Several factors, including cytokines, gut microbiota, dietary components known regulate TJs.

Microbe–host communication is essential to maintain vital functions of a healthy host, and its disruption has been associated with several diseases, including Crohn’s disease ulcerative colitis, the two major forms inflammatory bowel (IBD). Although individual members intestinal microbiota have experimental IBD, identifying microorganisms that affect susceptibility phenotypes in humans remains considerable challenge. Currently, lack definition between what dysbiotic gut microbiome limits research. Nevertheless, although clear proof-of-concept causality still lacking, there an increasingly evident need understand microbial basis IBD at strain, genomic, epigenomic, functional levels specific clinical contexts. Recent information on role diet novel environmental risk factors affecting direct implications for immune response impacts development IBD.
