Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is considered as one of the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide due to rapidly rising prevalence obesity and metabolic syndrome. As a hepatic manifestation disease, NAFLD begins with fat accumulation progresses inflammation, termed non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), fibrosis/cirrhosis, finally leading NAFLD-related hepatocellular carcinoma (NAFLD-HCC). Accumulating evidence showed that gut microbiome plays vital role in initiation progression through gut–liver axis. The axis mutual communication between comprising portal circulation, bile duct, systematic circulation. dysbiosis contributes development by dysregulating axis, increased intestinal permeability unrestrained transfer microbial metabolites into liver. In this review, we systematically summarized up-to-date information metabolomic changes along stages steatosis, NASH, fibrosis, NAFLD-HCC. components functions its association were then discussed. addition, highlighted current knowledge microbiome-based treatment strategies targeting for preventing associated HCC.

Despite a short history since its first isolation, Akkermansia muciniphila has been extensively studied in relation to effects on human metabolism. A recent intervention study also demonstrated that the bacterium is safe use for therapeutic purposes. The best-known of A. health and disease relate ability strengthen gut integrity, modulate insulin resistance, protect host from metabolic inflammation. further molecular mechanism, induction GLP-1 secretion through ICAM-2 receptor, was recently discovered with identification new bacterial protein produced by muciniphila. However, other studies have suggested detrimental role specific immune settings. Here, we evaluate molecular, mechanistic suggest some missing links be connected before organism should considered as next-generation biotherapeutic agent.

The gut microbiota has been found to play an important role in the progression of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), but mechanisms have not established. Here, by developing a click-chemistry-based enrichment strategy, we identified several microbial-derived bile acids, including previously uncharacterized 3-succinylated cholic acid (3-sucCA), which is negatively correlated with liver damage patients liver-tissue-biopsy-proven fatty disease (MAFLD). By screening human bacterial isolates, Bacteroides uniformis strains as effective producers 3-sucCA both vitro and vivo. activity-based protein purification identification, enzyme annotated β-lactamase B. responsible for biosynthesis. Furthermore, that lumen-restricted metabolite alleviates MASH promoting growth Akkermansia muciniphila.

Abstract Background Vascular calcification is a major cause of the high morbidity and mortality cardiovascular diseases closely associated with intestinal microbiota. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are derived from microbiota can also regulate homeostasis. However, it remains unclear whether exogenous supplementation propionate, SCFA, ameliorate vascular by regulating This study was conducted to explore roles propionate in process calcification. Methods In total, 92 patients were enrolled consecutively as observational cohort analyse relationship between SCFAs both blood faecal samples. A rat model induced vitamin D3 nicotine (VDN) validate effect propionate. Differences analysed 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. Faecal transplantation Akkermansia muciniphila experiments performed evaluate functions Results The results revealed that levels (particularly propionate) samples independently correlated negatively scores ( P < 0.01). To verify activities provided VDN-treated rats, oral or rectal delivery reshaped microbiota, resulted elevated SCFA production, improved barrier function alleviated inflammation, ultimately ameliorating Furthermore, we demonstrated propionate-modulated beneficial outcomes similar those administration.

Abstract The combination of immunotherapy and molecular targeted therapy exhibits promising therapeutic efficacy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the underlying mechanism is still unclear. Here, phosphoglycerate mutase 1 (PGAM1) identified as a novel immunometabolic target by using bioinformatic algorithm based on multiple HCC datasets. PGAM1 highly expressed associated with poor prognosis response to immunotherapy. In vitro vivo experiments indicate that targeting inhibited cell growth promoted infiltration CD8 + T‐cells due decreased enzymatic activity. Mechanistically, inhibition promotes ferroptosis downregulating Lipocalin (LCN2) inducing energy stress ROS‐dependent AKT inhibition, which can also downregulate Programmed death 1‐ligand (PD‐L1). Moreover, an allosteric inhibitor (KH3) good antitumor effects patient‐derived xenograft (PDX) models enhanced anti‐PD‐1 subcutaneous orthotopic models. Taken together, findings demonstrate exerts effect promoting T‐cell synergize HCC. Targeting be new strategy “killing two birds one stone” for treatment.
