Abstract In recent years, there has been a greater emphasis on the impact of microbial populations inhabiting gastrointestinal tract human health and disease. According to involvement microbiota in modulating physiological processes (such as immune system development, vitamins synthesis, pathogen displacement, nutrient uptake), any alteration its composition diversity (i.e., dysbiosis) linked variety pathologies, including cancer. this bidirectional relationship, colonization with various bacterial species is correlated reduced or elevated risk certain cancers. Notably, gut microflora could potentially play direct indirect role tumor initiation progression by inducing chronic inflammation producing toxins metabolites. Therefore, identifying involved their mechanism action be beneficial preventing onset tumors controlling advancement. Likewise, community affects anti-cancer approaches’ therapeutic potential adverse effects immunotherapy chemotherapy). Hence, efficiency should evaluated context microbiome, underlining importance personalized medicine. review, we summarized evidence revealing microbiota's cancer mechanism. We also delineated how predict colon carcinoma development response current treatments improve clinical outcomes.

Accumulating evidence suggests that selected microbiota-derived metabolites play a significant role in both tumor prevention and supportive treatment of cancer. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), i.e., mainly acetate, proprionate, butyrate, are one them. Nowadays, it is known butyrate key microbial metabolite. Therefore, the current review, we focused on sodium (NaB) context colorectal Notably, characterized by wide range beneficial properties/activities. Among others, influences function immune system, maintains intestinal barrier integrity, positively affects efficiency anti-cancer treatment, may reduce risk mucositis induced chemotherapy. Taking into consideration these facts, analyzed NaB (which salt butyric acid) its impact gut microbiota as well anti-tumor activity describing molecular mechanisms. Overall, available as, for instance, food with special medical purposes (depending country’s regulation), administration seems to be promising option cancer patients.

Lead exposure is a global public health safety issue that severely disrupts brain development and causes damage to the nervous system in early life. Probiotics gut microbes have been highlighted for their critical roles mitigating lead toxicity. However, underlying mechanisms by which they work yet be fully explored. Here, we designed two-stage experiment using probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum HNU312 (Lf312) uncover how probiotics alleviate toxicity during First, explored tolerance adsorption of Lf312 vitro. Second, capacity strain was determined confirmed vivo. The shotgun metagenome sequencing showed exposure-induced imbalance dysfunction microbiome. In contrast, intake significantly modulated structure microbiome, increased abundance beneficial bacteria short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)-producing bacteria, upregulated function-related metabolic pathways such as antioxidants. Notably, enhanced integrity blood-brain barrier increasing levels SCFAs gut, alleviated inflammation brain, ultimately improved anxiety-like depression-like behaviours induced mice. Subsequently, effective mechanism confirmed, highlighting worked through integrated strategies, including ionic microbiota-gut-brain axis regulation.

The gut microbiota, a dynamic ecosystem of trillions microorganisms, produces secondary metabolites that profoundly influence host health. Recent research has highlighted the significant role these metabolites, particularly short-chain fatty acids, indoles, and bile in modulating immune responses, impacting epigenetic mechanisms, contributing to disease processes. In gastrointestinal (GI) cancers such as colorectal, liver, gastric cancer, microbial can drive tumorigenesis by promoting inflammation, DNA damage, evasion. Conversely, same hold therapeutic promise, potentially enhancing responses chemotherapy immunotherapy even directly suppressing tumor growth. addition, play crucial roles infectious susceptibility resilience, mediating pathways impact pathogen resistance. By consolidating recent insights into microbiota's shaping health, this review underscores potential targeting microbiome-derived for treating GI diseases calls further microbiome-based interventions.
