Abstract The microbiota significantly impacts health and treatment outcomes. While 16S rRNA gene sequencing reveals relative bacterial abundances, it does not provide absolute quantification. We developed a cost-effective solution incorporating synthetic DNA standards designed to ensure balanced nucleotide representation at each position. These are spiked into samples before extraction, enabling simultaneous quantification of both abundances. applied this method collected from mice patients, after antibiotic treatment. Our approach showed reduction in total density patients post-antibiotic This spike-in standard can be adapted with varying densities, allowing taxonomical abundances without the need for an additional quantitative PCR assessment. also improves quality scores low biomass samples.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a complex and chronic inflammatory bowel disease whose pathogenesis involves genetic environmental factors, which poses challenge for treatment. Here, we have designed an innovative integrated therapeutic strategy using Lactobacillus acidophilus extracellular vesicles (EVs) to encapsulate UiO-66-NH2 nanoparticles bounded with TNF-α siRNA (EVs@UiO-66-NH2@siRNA) UC This system shows superior affinity inflammation-related cells due the EVs can maintain immune homeostasis by regulating secretion of cytokines in vitro. specifically target key silence its gene expression, thereby process response. After oral administration, EVs@UiO-66-NH2@siRNA demonstrates accurate delivery colonize colon site exerts effect inhibiting expression TNF-α, alleviates intestinal inflammation DSS-induced model.

ABSTRACT Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an inflammatory caused by the interaction of environmental and genetic factors, including diet microbiota. Recent studies have suggested effects extracellular vesicles (EVs) on controlling host intestinal immune responses, although specified mechanisms not yet been fully elucidated. In current study, we investigated EVs isolated from bovine colostrum attenuating dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis in mice. Multiomic approaches were used to assess gene expression gut microbiota profiles explain roles modulating system. Transcriptomic analyses a possible immunoregulatory mechanism mediated cell cycle regulator CDK6 pro-inflammatory responses. The microbiome composition fecal metabolite showed that EV supplementation promoted microbial abundance Akkermansia short-chain fatty acid production mice with colitis. Further vivo analysis revealed β-hydroxybutyrate muciniphila , which are elevated administration EVs, involved lessening through Additionally, bta-let-7a-5p, one most abundant microRNAs colostrum-derived alleviated indications their immunity regulating cycle-related target Cdk6. Overall, these results suggest bta-let-7a-5p could be promising alternative strategies for preventing onset IBD.

We used an Akkermansia strain (AKK ONE) isolated from healthy human feces to study effect DSS-induced in mice. Our results demonstrate that AKK ONE supplementation significantly improves food intake, weight, colon length, disease activity index (DAI) score, organ index, and tissue damage of notably improved intestinal barrier integrity by enhancing expression occludin claudin-1.
