There is increasing knowledge regarding the role of microbiome in modulating brain and behaviour. Indeed, actions microbial metabolites are key for appropriate gut-brain communication humans. Among these metabolites, short-chain fatty acids, tryptophan, bile acid metabolites/pathways show strong preclinical evidence involvement various aspects function With identification neuroactive modules, new predictive tools can be applied to existing datasets. We identified 278 studies relating human microbiota-gut-brain axis which included sequencing data. This spanned across psychiatric neurological disorders with a small number also focused on normal behavioural development. consistent bioinformatics pipeline, thirty-five datasets were reanalysed from publicly available raw files remainder summarised collated. studies, we uncovered disease-related alterations metabolic pathways Alzheimer's Disease, schizophrenia, anxiety depression.

The number of individuals experiencing mental disorders (e.g., anxiety and depression) has significantly risen in recent years. Therefore, it is essential to seek prevention treatment strategies for disorders. Several gut microbiota, especially Firmicutes Bacteroidetes, are demonstrated affect health through microbiota-gut-brain axis, the microbiota dysbiosis can be related disorders, such as anxiety, depression, other On hand, dietary components, including probiotics Lactobacillus Bifidobacterium), prebiotics fiber alpha-lactalbumin), synbiotics, postbiotics short-chain fatty acids), dairy products, spices Zanthoxylum bungeanum, curcumin, capsaicin), fruits, vegetables, medicinal herbs, so on, could exert protective effects against by enhancing beneficial while suppressing harmful ones.

Oxidative Stress, Gut Microbiota, and Extracellular Vesicles: Interconnected Pathways and Therapeutic Potentials

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 26(7), С. 3148 - 3148

Oxidative stress (OS) and gut microbiota are crucial factors influencing human health, each playing a significant role in the development progression of chronic diseases. This review provides comprehensive analysis complex interplay between these two factors, focusing on how an imbalance reactive oxygen species (ROS) antioxidants leads to OS, disrupting cellular homeostasis contributing range conditions, including metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, neurological cancer. The microbiota, diverse community microorganisms residing gastrointestinal tract, is essential for regulating immune responses, pathways, overall health. Dysbiosis, composition, closely associated with inflammation, dysfunction, various highlights influences influenced by complicating pathophysiology many conditions. Furthermore, emerging evidence has identified extracellular vesicles (EVs) as critical facilitators crosstalk OS microbiota. EVs also play signaling host tissues, modulating processes. function holds promise targeted therapies aimed at restoring microbial balance mitigating OS. Personalized therapeutic approaches, probiotics, antioxidants, fecal transplantation-based strategies, can be used address OS-related diseases improve health outcomes.

Ketogenic Diet: A Dietary Intervention via Gut Microbiome Modulation for the Treatment of Neurological and Nutritional Disorders (a Narrative Review)

Nutrients, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 14(17), С. 3566 - 3566

Опубликована: Авг. 30, 2022

The ketogenic diet (KD) has been important in treating epilepsy since the 1920s. benefits of KD further expanded to other neurological diseases, including Alzheimer’s autism spectrum disorder, and nutritional disorder (obesity). Although therapeutic efficacy generally accepted, there is limited knowledge about its underlying mechanism action, particularly effect on our gut microbiome. Gut dysbiosis proposed be involved those can promote microbiota remodeling that may assist recovery. This review explores applications KD, roles microbiome diseases obesity, as well present information suggests significant altering improve disease symptoms, mainly by incrementing Bacteroidetes Firmicutes (B/F) ratio reducing Proteobacteria certain cases. However, current gaps call for continued research understand better profile altered KD.

Early-life differences in the gut microbiota composition and functionality of infants at elevated likelihood of developing autism spectrum disorder

Translational Psychiatry, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 13(1)

Опубликована: Июль 13, 2023

Abstract Evidence from cross-sectional human studies, and preliminary microbial-based intervention have implicated the microbiota-gut-brain axis in neurobiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Using a prospective longitudinal study design, we investigated developmental profile fecal microbiota metabolome infants with ( n = 16) without 19) family history ASD across first 36 months life. In addition, general levels were evaluated using Mullen Scales Early Learning (MSEL) test at 5 age, ADOS-2 age. At elevated-likelihood (EL) harbored less Bifidobacterium more Clostridium Klebsiella species compared to low-likelihood (LL). Untargeted metabolic profiling highlighted that LL excreted greater amount γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) months, which progressively declined Similar age-dependent patterns not observed EL group, GABA being consistently low all timepoints. Integrated microbiome-metabolome analysis showed positive correlation between negative associations species. vitro experiments supported these observations demonstrating bifidobacteria can produce while clostridia consume it. behavioral level, there no significant differences groups months. However, group had significantly lower MSEL scores group. Taken together, present results reveal early life alterations gut composition functionality ASD. These changes occur before any impairments be detected, supporting possible role for emerging variability later

Multi-angle meta-analysis of the gut microbiome in Autism Spectrum Disorder: a step toward understanding patient subgroups

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 12(1)

Опубликована: Окт. 11, 2022

Abstract Observational studies have shown that the composition of human gut microbiome in children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) differs significantly from their neurotypical (NT) counterparts. Thus far, reported ASD-specific signatures been inconsistent. To uncover reproducible signatures, we compiled 10 publicly available raw amplicon and metagenomic sequencing datasets alongside new data generated an internal cohort (the largest ASD to date), unified them standardized pre-processing methods, conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis all taxa variables detected across multiple studies. By screening metadata test associations between 52 patient subsets datasets, determined differentially abundant versus NT were dependent upon age, sex, bowel function, thus marking these as potential confounders case–control Several taxa, including strains Bacteroides stercoris t__190463 Clostridium M bolteae t__180407, species Granulicatella elegans Massilioclostridium coli , exhibited differential abundance compared only after subjects dysfunction removed. Adjusting for sex function resulted adding or removing ASD-diagnosed individuals, emphasizing importance collecting controlling metadata. We performed (n = 690) most systematic analysis date. Our study demonstrated accounting confounding when designing statistical comparative analyses ASD- NT-associated bacterial profiles. Mitigating identified robust microbial cohorts, signifying factors Such will advance understanding different groups deliver appropriate therapeutics by identifying traits germane specific phenotype.

Background Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is associated with alterations in the gut microbiome. However, there are few studies on microbiota of children ASD China, and a lack consensus changes bacterial species. Purpose Methods We used 16S rRNA sequencing to analyze (2 12 years), HC years). Results Our findings showed that α-diversity, composition, relative abundance group were significantly different from those groups. Compared group, α-diversity was decreased. At genus level, g_Faecalibacterium, g_Blautia, g_Eubacterium_eligens_group, g_Parasutterella, g_Lachnospiraceae_NK4A136_group g_Veillonella increased than groups, while g_Prevotella 9 g_Agathobacter decreased In addition, KEGG pathway analysis microbial functional abnormalities patients mainly concentrated metabolic pathways related fatty acid, amino acid metabolism aromatic compound metabolism, partially involved neurotransmitter metabolism. Conclusion This study revealed characteristics Chinese provided further evidence dysbiosis ASD.
