Abstract
Three different Akebia trifoliata fruit juices were prepared, and their effects on modulation of human fecal microbiota were elucidated through an anaerobic fermentation in vitro. Results indicated that the introduction of inoculatedly-fermented Akebia trifoliata fruit juice promoted short-chain fatty acids productivity. Fecal microbiota analysis demonstrated up-regulations for abundances of Limosilactobacillus, Megamonas, Bifidobacterium, and Escherichia_Shigella, and down-regulations for numbers of Bacteroides, Prevotella_9, Parasutterella, and Sutterella. Correlation analysis confirmed relationships among sample components, short-chain fatty acids productivity, and microbial abundances, suggesting that sugars and organic acids stimulated growth of Actinobacteriota and suppressed proliferation of Proteobacteria, thus uncovering the underlying mechanism for the better ability of inoculatedly-fermented Akebia trifoliata fruit juice to regulate microbiota structure. Besides, clusters of orthologous groups of proteins analysis indicated that metabolite biosynthesis, energy metabolism, homeostasis maintenance and other physiological functions were ameliorated.

Jo H, Kim BG. Effects of dietary fiber in gestating sow diets - A review. Anim Biosci 2023; 36:1619-1631. [PMID: 37641826 PMCID: PMC10623041 DOI: 10.5713/ab.23.0206] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/02/2023] [Revised: 07/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/12/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023] Open
Abstract
The objective of this review was to provide an overview of the effects of dietary fiber (DF) on reproductive performance in gestating sows. Dietary fibers have been suggested to modulate microbiota in the intestine and the immune system of gestating sows and to improve gut health. Thus, DF may help alleviate the adverse effects of the stressful production cycle of gestating sows. These benefits may subsequently result in improved reproductive performance of sows. Previous studies have reported changes in microbiota by providing gestating sows with DF, and the responses of microbiota varied depending on the source of DF. The responses by providing DF to gestating sows were inconsistent for antioxidative capacity, hormonal response, and inflammatory response among the studies. The effects of DF on reproductive performance were also inconsistent among the previous studies. Potential reasons contributing to these inconsistent results would include variability in reproductive performance data, insufficient replication, influence of other nutrients contained in the DF diets, characteristics of DF, and experimental periods. The present meta-analysis suggests that increasing the total DF concentration by 10 percentage units (e.g., 12% to 22% as-fed basis) in gestating sow diets compared to the control group improves the litter born alive by 0.49 pigs per litter. However, based on the present review, questions remain regarding the benefits of fibers in gestating sow diets. Further research is warranted to clarify the mode of action of fibers and the association with subsequent reproductive performance in gestating sows.

Abstract
Manipulation of the gut microbiome using live biotherapeutic products shows promise for clinical applications but remains challenging to achieve. Here, we induced dysbiosis in 56 healthy volunteers using antibiotics to test a synbiotic comprising the infant gut microbe, Bifidobacterium longum subspecies infantis (B. infantis), and human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs). B. infantis engrafted in 76% of subjects in an HMO-dependent manner, reaching a relative abundance of up to 81%. Changes in microbiome composition and gut metabolites reflect altered recovery of engrafted subjects compared with controls. Engraftment associates with increases in lactate-consuming Veillonella, faster acetate recovery, and changes in indolelactate and p-cresol sulfate, metabolites that impact host inflammatory status. Furthermore, Veillonella co-cultured in vitro and in vivo with B. infantis and HMO converts lactate produced by B. infantis to propionate, an important mediator of host physiology. These results suggest that the synbiotic reproducibly and predictably modulates recovery of a dysbiotic microbiome.

Abstract
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is considered as a potential candidate substance that mediates the effects of intestinal bacteria on human mental health. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of water-soluble cellulose acetate (WSCA), a type of cellulose ester, on fermentation and microbial profiles, and GABA production in human stool cultures prepared from fresh feces from volunteers. In addition, the GABA-producing ability of Bacteroides uniformis, which can utilize WSCA, was evaluated in a pure-culture study. All incubations were conducted anaerobically. WSCA supplementation increased (P < 0.05) acetate and propionate production and decreased (P < 0.05) the pH in human fecal cultures. WSCA significantly altered the microbiota, selectively increasing the relative abundance of B. uniformis (P < 0.05). Pure-culture study results revealed that B. uniformis produces GABA, possibly via a glutamate-dependent acid resistance system under low pH conditions. In conclusion, WSCA could be a potential prebiotic material that is fermented by intestinal bacteria and increases short-chain fatty acid and GABA production in the human gut. Bacteroides uniformis might play an important role in both WSCA degradation and GABA production in the intestine.

Abstract
The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract holds a complex and dynamic population of microbial communities, which exerts a marked influence on the host physiology during homeostasis and disease conditions. Diet is considered one of the main factors in structuring the gut microbiota across a lifespan. Intestinal microbial communities play a vital role in sustaining immune and metabolic homeostasis as well as protecting against pathogens. The negatively altered gut bacterial composition has related to many inflammatory diseases and infections. β-glucans are a heterogeneous assemblage of glucose polymers with a typical structure comprising a leading chain of β-(1,4) and/or β-(1,3)-glucopyranosyl units with various branches and lengths as a side chain. β-glucans bind to specific receptors on immune cells and initiate immune responses. However, β-glucans from different sources differ in their structures, conformation, physical properties, and binding affinity to receptors. How these properties modulate biological functions in terms of molecular mechanisms is not known in many examples. This review provides a critical understanding of the structures of β-glucans and their functions for modulating the gut microbiota and immune system.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a health problem worldwide, and elevated cholesterol levels are a key risk factor for the disease. Dysbiotic gut microbiota has been shown to be associated with CVD development. However, the beneficial effects of healthy microbiota in decreasing cholesterol levels have not been summarized. Herein, we begin by discussing the potential mechanisms by which the gut microbiota reduces cholesterol levels. We further sketch the application of probiotics from the genera Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium in reducing cholesterol levels in clinical studies. Finally, we present the cholesterol-lowering function of beneficial commensal microbes, such as Akkermansia and Bacteroides spp., as these microbes have potential to be the next-generation probiotics (NGPs). The information reviewed in this paper will help people to understand how the gut microbiome might alter cholesterol metabolism and enable the development of NGPs to prevent and treat CVD.

Abstract
This study investigated the effects of fine-grinding wheat bran on pregnant sow body condition, lipid metabolism, inflammatory response, and gut microbiota. In this study, wheat bran was crushed into three particle sizes. A total of 60 Landrace × Yorkshire second parity sows were allotted to two groups: CWB (a diet containing coarse wheat bran with particle size of 605 μm) and FWB (a diet containing fine wheat bran with particle size of 438 μm). Fine-grinding wheat bran had higher soluble dietary fiber concentration, swelling capacity, water-holding capacity, and fermentability than coarse wheat bran. Pregnant sows fed FWB throughout pregnancy had lower body weight and fat deposition than sows fed CWB. And the piglet body weight at birth of the FWB group was remarkably increased. Serum concentrations of lipids (triglycerides, total cholesterol, and free fatty acid), interleukin 6, leptin, and resistin were decreased on day 90 of pregnancy by fine wheat bran supplementation. Feeding FWB significantly decreased abundance of Firmicutes and dramatically increased the abundance of Bacteroidetes at phylum level. At genus level, the abundance of Terrisporobacter was decreased in FWB feeding sows, but the abundance of Parabacteroides was increased. Fecal total short-chain fatty acids, propionate, and butyrate contents were markedly increased in the FWB group. The results suggested that the physicochemical properties of finely ground wheat bran had been improved. Dietary supplementation with fine wheat bran changed the gut microbiota structure and enhanced the short-chain fatty acids level, which improved the maternal body condition, metabolic and inflammatory status, and reproductive performance in sows.

Abstract
Dietary factors, affect Akkermansia muciniphila (AM) abundance in the colon, have attracted attention, driven by the inverse correlation between AM abundance and metabolic disorders. We prepared skate-skin mucin (SM), porcine stomach mucin (PM), and rat gastrointestinal mucin (RM). SM contained more sulfated sugars and threonine than PM or RM. Rats were fed a control diet or diets including SM, PM, or RM (15 g/kg), or SM (12 g/kg) from 5 different threonine contents for 14 d. Cecal total bacteria and AM were less and more numerous, respectively, in SM-fed rats than the others, but SM did not affect microbial species richness. Low-threonine SM did not induce AM proliferation. The in vitro fermentation with human feces showed that the rate of AM increase was greater with SM than PM. Collectively, heavy SM sulfation facilitates a priority supply of SM-derived amino sugars and threonine that promotes AM proliferation in rats and human feces.

Abstract
Goblet cell hyperplasia is an important manifestation of cystic fibrosis (CF) disease in epithelial-lined organs. Explants of CF airway epithelium show normalization of goblet cell numbers; therefore, we hypothesized that small intestinal enteroids from Cftr knockout (KO) mice would not exhibit goblet cell hyperplasia. Toll-like receptors 2 and 4 (Tlr2 and Tlr4) were investigated as markers of inflammation and influence on goblet cell differentiation. Ex vivo studies found goblet cell hyperplasia in Cftr KO jejunum compared with wild-type (WT) mice. IL-13, SAM pointed domain-containing ETS transcription factor (Spdef), Tlr2, and Tlr4 protein expression were increased in Cftr KO intestine relative to WT. In contrast, WT and Cftr KO enteroids did not exhibit differences in basal or IL-13-stimulated goblet cell numbers, or differences in expression of Tlr2, Tlr4, and Spdef. Ileal goblet cell numbers in Cftr KO/Tlr4 KO and Cftr KO/Tlr2 KO mice were not different from Cftr KO mice, but enumeration was confounded by altered mucosal morphology. Treatment with Tlr4 agonist LPS did not affect goblet cell numbers in WT or Cftr KO enteroids, whereas the Tlr2 agonist Pam3Csk4 stimulated goblet cell hyperplasia in both genotypes. Pam3Csk4 stimulation of goblet cell numbers was associated with suppression of Notch1 and Neurog3 expression and upregulated determinants of goblet cell differentiation. We conclude that goblet cell hyperplasia and inflammation of the Cftr KO small intestine are not exhibited by enteroids, indicating that this manifestation of CF intestinal disease is not epithelial-automatous but secondary to the altered CF intestinal environment.NEW & NOTEWORTHY Studies of small intestinal organoids from cystic fibrosis (CF) mice show that goblet cell hyperplasia and increased Toll-like receptor 2/4 expression are not primary manifestations of the CF intestine. Intestinal goblet cell hyperplasia in the CF mice was not strongly altered by genetic ablation of Tlr2 and Tlr 4, but could be induced in both wild-type and CF intestinal organoids by a Tlr2-dependent suppression of Notch signaling.

Abstract
BARLEYmax, a barley variety, and cocoa polyphenols (CPPs) have been reported to affect bacterial metabolites in the colon. This study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of BARLEYmax and CPPs supplementation on fecal microbiota in vitro using pig feces for 48 h. The relative abundances of the family Clostridiaceae and the genus Clostridium and ammonia-nitrogen production were decreased by both BARLEYmax and CPP supplementation, and there was a positive correlation between their abundances and the ammonia-nitrogen concentration. Although acetate and n-butyrate production was decreased by CPP supplementation, their concentrations were maintained at a higher level in the BARLEYmax + CPP group than in the cellulose (control) and cellulose + CPP groups. Therefore, this study demonstrated that a combination of BARLEYmax and CPPs may be beneficial in maintaining higher short-chain fatty acid production and the elimination of potentially harmful factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Water-soluble cellulose acetate (WSCA), a synthetic fiber source, was applied to human stool cultures and to pure cultures of representative Bacteroides species to characterize the fermentation properties of WSCA in the human gut, and to assess the potential availability of WSCA as a food or additive candidate. RESULTS All nine of the different types of WSCA tested here provided increased acetate levels in human stool cultures. Greater levels of deacetylation were observed as the degree of substitution of hydroxyl groups by acetyl groups decreased. Among the nine tested types of WSCA, CA-0.78-128 caused the largest shifts of the microbial community, including an increased abundance of members of the genus Bacteroides, especially Bacteroides uniformis. Of four representative human gut Bacteroides species, only B. uniformis grew in pure culture on WSCA to produce acetate actively. CONCLUSION Water-soluble cellulose acetate has the potential for dietary application in human and other monogastric animals, based on the enhanced production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), in particular acetate, in the hindgut. Short-chain fatty acid production is caused by selective proliferation of specific gut bacteria belonging to the genus Bacteroides. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.

[PMID: 32299574 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2020.116205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/12/2020] [Revised: 03/04/2020] [Accepted: 03/20/2020] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Alginate and laminaran are the main water-soluble polysaccharides in edible brown algae such as arame Eisenia bicyclis. To determine the alginate- and/or laminaran-susceptible indigenous bacteria (SIB) in the gut, the caecal microbiomes of ICR mice fed a diet containing 2% low molecular weight (LMW ≒50 kDa) alginate or laminaran were analysed by 16S rRNA gene (V4) amplicon sequencing. At the phylum level abundances, compared to those in mice fed a no-fibre diet, Firmicutes was lower and Bacteroidetes was higher in both LMW alginate- or laminaran-fed mouse groups. At the operational taxonomic unit level, Bacteroides acidifaciens- and Bacteroides intestinalis-like bacteria were considered alginate- and laminaran-SIB, respectively. B. acidifaciens PS-4 isolated from the ICR mice fermented LMW alginate and laminaran and mainly produced succinate. B. intestinalis ALB-11 also isolated from these mice fermented laminaran and mainly produced lactate. These SIB might exert interactive effects with edible brown algal consumption and affect host health.

Abstract
We evaluated the influence of pine bark extract (PBE) on organs, the cytochrome-P450 (CYP) activities in liver and estrogenic effects in normal and ovariectomized (OVX) female mice. The PBE did not affect organ weights and liver-function indexes (activities of alkaline phosphatase, aspartate amino transferase, and alanine amino transferase) at doses; 0.04%, 0.4%, and 2.0% PBE in the diet, in normal and OVX female mice. In the OVX mice, CYP1A1 activity was significantly higher in the 0.4% and 2.0% PBE groups than in the OVX control group, and in the 0.4% and 2.0% PBE groups were significantly higher than in the 0.04% PBE group. CYP1A2 and 3A4 activities were significantly higher in the 2.0% PBE group than in all other groups. The PBE did not affect uterine weight and femoral bone mineral density at all PBE doses. These results showed that the dose of PBE at the recommended human intake, had no toxic and estrogenic effects in normal female and OVX mice, however, it may need attention to use the excess intake of PBE with some drugs in postmenopausal women.

Abstract
Our previous study has proved that the three polysaccharide fractions from L. japonica (LP-A4, LP-A6, and LP-A8) had significantly different structure characterization. Herein, we conducted in vitro simulated digestion and fermentation to study the digestive mechanism of LP-As. The results of gastrointestinal digestion indicated that LP-A6 and LP-A8 would be easier to trap the enzyme molecules for their denser interconnected macromolecule network compared with LP-A4. Fermentation of LP-As by human gut microbiota, especially for LP-A8, generated a large amount of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which could upregulate the abundance of Firmicutes ( Lachnoclostridium and Eubacterium). The high content of sulfate and highly branched sugar residue of LP-A8 might help it be easily used by Firmicutes in gut microbiota of hyperlipidemic patients. Functional analysis revealed that the increased metabolic activities of glycerophospholipid metabolism, ether lipid metabolism, and fatty acid metabolism induced by LP-A8 treatment were closely associated with metabolic syndromes and hyperlipidemia.
