Purpose: Previous researches have suggested an important association between gut microbiota (GM) and vascular pathologies such as atherosclerosis. This study aimed to explore the 196 GM taxa retinal vein occlusion (RVO). Methods: used Mendelian randomization (MR), linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC), polygenic overlap analysis. Genome-wide (GWAS) data associated with was obtained from MiBioGen consortium, involving a large number of European-ancestry participants. GWAS RVO FinnGen consortium another that also involved Inverse-variance weighted primary approach for MR estimation. Moreover, LDSC analyses were performed evaluate genetic correlation RVO. Results: The results identified six taxa, including class Bacilli, order Lactobacillales, family Streptococcaceae, genus Clostridium innocuum group, Family XIII AD3011 Subdoligranulum development In addition, analysis supported Conclusions: Our findings confirmed RVO, thereby highlighting effects on health. Translational Relevance: may provide rationale developing GM-based strategies preventing onset

Dry eye is considered an inflammatory disease. Gut microbiota are important in the regulation of low-grade chronic inflammation, including eye. Probiotics and prebiotics increasingly used to regulate chronic-disease-associated gut dysbiosis. Therefore, this double-masked, randomized controlled clinical trial aimed explore potential oral probiotics management dry In total, 41 participants with received probiotic prebiotic supplements (treatment group, n = 23) or respective placebos (control 18) for 4 months. symptoms signs were evaluated using Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), Eye Questionnaire 5, osmolarity, non-invasive keratograph break-up time (NIKBUT), ocular surface staining, tear meniscus height (TMH), lipid layer thickness, conjunctival redness. After months, average OSDI score treatment group was significantly better compared that controls (16.8 ± 5.9 vs. 23.4 7.4; p < 0.001). The NIKBUT TMH did not change (p 0.31 0.84) but reduced on by −5.5 1.0 secs 0.03) 0.2 0.1 mm 0.02). These data suggest might be effective

Diabetic retinopathy is one of the major causes blindness today, despite important achievements in diagnosis and therapy. The involvement a gut–retina axis thought to be possible risk factor for several chronic eye disease, such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, uveitis, and, recently, diabetic retinopathy. Dysbiosis may cause endothelial disfunction alter retinal metabolism. This review analyzes evidence regarding changes gut microbiota patients with DR compared diabetics healthy controls (HCs). A systematic was performed on PubMed, Web Science, Google Scholar following terms: “gut microbiota” OR microbiome” AND “diabetic retinopathy”. Ultimately, 9 articles published between 2020 2022 presenting comparative data total 228 T2DM DR, 220 T2DM, 118 HCs were analyzed. All studies found distinctive microbial beta diversity vs. HC, characterized by an altered Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio, decrease butyrate producers, increase LPS-expressing pro-inflammatory species Bacteroidetes Proteobacteria phyla. probiotic Bifidobacterium Lactobacillus decreased when T2DM. Gut influence health multiple ways represent future therapeutic target DR.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular lesion that occurs as complication of diabetes mellitus. Many studies reveal retinal neurodegeneration early in its pathogenesis, and abnormal function can occur patients without any signs abnormalities. The gut microbiota large, diverse colony microorganisms colonize the human intestine. Studies indicated involved pathophysiological processes DR plays an important role development. On one hand, numerous demonstrated involvement neurodegeneration. other alterations bacteria RD cause or exacerbate DR. present review aims to underline critical relationship between After brief overview composition, function, essential ocular health, explores concept gut-retina axis conditions crosstalk. Because dysbiosis has been associated with DR, intends determine changes microbiome hypothesized mechanisms linking axis, predictive potential.
