Abstract
BACKGROUND The combination of Astragalus membranaceus and Salvia miltiorrhiza (AS) is an effective prescription for treating diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in traditional Chinese medicine. Its efficacy in treating DKD has been confirmed, but the potential regulatory mechanism has not yet been fully clarified. PURPOSE To explore the mechanism by which AS regulates the "gut-metabolism-transcription" coexpression network under the action of the "gut-kidney axis" to ameliorate DKD. METHODS SD rats were used to establish the DKD model by injecting STZ. After AS intervention, the structure and function of the kidney and colon were observed. We sequenced the gut microbiota utilizing 16S rDNA, identified serum differential metabolites using LC‒MS/MS, and observed renal mRNA expression by RNA seq. The "gut-metabolism-transcription" coexpression network was further constructed, and the target bacteria, target metabolites, and target genes of AS were ultimately screened and validated. RESULTS AS improved renal pathology and functional damage and increased the abundance of Akkermansia, Akkermansia_muciniphila, Lactobacillus and Lactobacillus_murinus. Fourteen target metabolites of AS were identified, which were mainly concentrated in 19 KEGG pathways, including sphingolipid metabolism and glycerophospholipid metabolism. Sixty-three target mRNAs of AS were identified. The top 20 pathways were closely related to glycolipid metabolism, and 14 differential mRNAs were expressed in these pathways. Correlation analysis showed that Akkermansia, Akkermansia muciniphila, Lactobacillus and Lactobacillus murinus were closely associated with sphingolipid metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, ascorbate and aldarate metabolism and galactose metabolism. Moreover, the target metabolites and target mRNAs of AS were also enriched in five identical pathways of sphingolipid metabolism, glycerophospholipid metabolism, arachidonic acid metabolism, ascorbate and aldarate metabolism and galactose metabolism, including 8 different metabolites, such as sphingosine, and 5 different genes, such as Kng1. The 8 metabolites had high AUC prediction values, and the validation of the 5 genes was consistent with the sequencing results. CONCLUSION Our research showed that AS can improve DKD via the "gut-kidney axis". Akkermansia muciniphila and Lactobacillus murinus were the main driving bacteria, and five pathways related to glycolipid metabolism, especially sphingolipid metabolism and glycerophospholipid metabolism, may be important follow-up reactions and regulatory mechanisms.

Chemopreventive effect of a milk whey by-product derived from Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) in protecting from colorectal carcinogenesis. Cell Commun Signal 2023; 21:245.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies show that natural foods are a source of compounds with anticancer properties that affect the gut microbiota and its metabolites. In the present study, we investigate the effect of a delactosed buffalo milk whey by-product (DMW) on colorectal carcinogenesis. METHODS The effect of DMW on colorectal carcinoma (CRC) was investigated in the established mouse model of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon carcinoma, which closely resembles the human clinical condition of CRC. The effect of DMW on CRC immortalized cell lines was also evaluated to further identify the antineoplastic mechanism of action. RESULTS Pretreatment of AOM-treated mice with DMW significantly (P < 0.05) reduced the percentage of mice bearing both aberrant crypt foci with more than four crypts (which are early precancerous lesions that progress to CRC) and tumors. In addition, DMW completely counteracted the effect of AOM on protein expression of caspase-9, cleaved caspase-3 and poly ADP-ribose polymerase in colonic tissue. Administration of DMW alone (i.e. without AOM) resulted in changes in the composition of the gut microbiota, leading to enrichment or depletion of genera associated with health and disease, respectively. DMW was also able to restore AOM-induced changes in specific genera of the gut microbiota. Specifically, DMW reduced the genera Atopobiaceae, Ruminococcus 1 and Lachnospiraceae XPB1014 and increased the genera Parabacteroides and Candidatus Saccharimonas, which were increased and reduced, respectively, by AOM. Blood levels of butyric acid and cancer diagnostic markers (5-methylcytidine and glycerophosphocholine), which were increased by AOM treatment, were reduced by DMW. Furthermore, DMW exerted cytotoxic effects on two human CRC cell lines (HCT116 and HT29) and these effects were associated with the induction of apoptotic signaling. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that DMW exerts chemopreventive effects and restores the gut microbiota in AOM-induced CRC, and induces cytotoxic effect on CRC cells. DMW could be an important dietary supplement to support a healthy gut microbiota and reduce the prevalence of CRC in humans. Video Abstract.

JK5G postbiotics attenuate immune-related adverse events in NSCLC patients by regulating gut microbiota: a randomized controlled trial in China. Front Oncol 2023; 13:1155592. [PMID: 37601658 PMCID: PMC10436471 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2023.1155592] [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: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 07/19/2023] [Indexed: 08/22/2023] Open
Abstract
Scope This study aimed to evaluate the effects of JK5G postbiotics to regulate imbalanced gut microbiota and its impacts on the efficacy and incidence rate of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Methods This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in China and included non-squamous or squamous NSCLC patients without EGFR, ROS1, and ALK alteration, treatment-naive, and stage IIIb-IV. Patients were randomly (1:1) divided into two groups to receive four cycles (three weeks for each cycle) of programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) plus chemotherapy plus placebo (control group, n = 30) or to receive PD-1 plus chemotherapy plus JK5G postbiotics (JK5G group, n = 30). The primary endpoint was objective response rate. The secondary endpoints were quality of life (QoL), adverse effects, and the 16S DNA sequencing of gut microbiota, blood inflammatory cytokines, and lymphocyte subsets. This study was registered at www.chictr.org.cn (ChiCTR2200064690). Results Sixty patients were enrolled. The objective response rate was 36.67% (11/30) in the control group and 50.00% (15/30) in the JK5G group (p = 0.297). The JK5G group had better QoL and nutritional levels, as well as lower depression symptoms than the control group (all p < 0.05). Moreover, the JK5G group had a lower incidence of anemia (63.33% vs. 13.33%, p < 0.001), decreased lymphocyte count (20.00% vs. 0%, p = 0.010), decreased appetite (53.33% vs. 16.67%, p = 0.003), nausea (33.33% vs. 6.67%, p = 0.010), and asthenia (30.00% vs. 6.67%, p = 0.017) than the control group. Moreover, JK5G attenuated gut microbiota imbalance, accompanied by increased Faecalibacterium, Ruminococcaceae, and fecal butyrate concentration, and diminished Escherichia-Shigella. Furthermore, JK5G administration significantly decreased the levels of pro-inflammatory markers, including TNF-α, IL-2, and C-reactive protein (CRP) (all p < 0.05). Significant increases in CD3+CD4+ T cells and CD4/CD8 ratio were observed in the peripheral blood of JK5G group patients (all p < 0.05). The enterotype data showed that patients were clustered into Blautia (E1) and Escherichia-Shigella (E2) enterotypes, and JK5G postbiotics intervention might be related to enterotype modulations. Conclusion Our current findings indicated that JK5G postbiotics might attenuate irAEs, and enhance the QoL and nutrition levels of advanced NSCLC patients who received ICIs. JK5G postbiotics could also improve the gut microbiota structures and ameliorate the tumor microenvironment and inflammation.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Yi-Shen-Hua-Shi (YSHS) granule is an effective prescription widely used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat diabetic kidney disease (DKD), its exact efficacy in treating DKD has been confirmed but the underlying regulatory mechanism has not been fully elucidated. AIM OF THE STUDY To explore the mechanism by which YSHS granule regulates intestinal flora and serum metabolites and then regulates renal mRNA expression through the "gut-kidney axis", so as to improve DKD. MATERIALS AND METHODS 40 rats were divided into five groups: Normal group (N) (normal saline), model group (M) (STZ + normal saline), YSHS granule low-dose group (YL) (STZ + 2.27 g kg-1 d-1), YSHS granule high-dose group (YH) (STZ + 5.54g kg-1 d-1) and valsartan group (V) (STZ + 7.38mg kg-1 d-1). After 6 weeks, changes in blood glucose, blood lipids, and renal function related indexes were observed, as well as pathological changes in the kidney and colon. Intestinal microbiota was sequenced by 16S rDNA, serum differential metabolites were identified by LC-MS/MS, and renal differences in mRNA expression were observed by RNA-seq. Further, through the association analysis of intestinal differential microbiota, serum differential metabolites and kidney differential mRNAs, the target flora, target metabolites and target genes of YSHS granule were screened and verified, and the "gut-metabolism-transcription" co-expression network was constructed. RESULTS In group M, blood glucose, blood lipid and proteinuria were increased, inflammation, oxidative stress and renal function were aggravated, with the proliferation of mesangial matrix, vacuolar degeneration of renal tubules, accumulation of collagen and lipid, and increased intestinal permeability, and YSHS granule and valsartan improved these disorders to varying degrees. High dose of YSHS granule improved the diversity and abundance of flora, decreased the F/B value, greatly increased the abundance of Lactobacillus and Lactobacillus_murinus, and decreased the abundance of Prevoella UCG_001. 14 target metabolites of YSHS granule were identified, which were mainly enriched in 20 KEGG pathways, such as Glycerophospholipid metabolism, Sphingolipid metabolism and Phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis. 96 target mRNAs of YSHS granule were also identified. The enriched top 20 pathways were closely related to glucose and lipid metabolism, of which a total of 21 differential mRNAs were expressed. Further correlation analysis revealed that Lactobacillus, Lactobacillus_murinus and Prevotella UCG_001 were highly correlated with Glycerophospholipid metabolism, Sphingolipid metabolism and Phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis pathways. At the same time, 6 pathways including Glycerophospholipid metabolism, Arachidonic acid metabolism, Purine metabolism, Primary bile acid biosynthesis, Ascorbate and aldarate metabolism and Galactose metabolism were co-enriched by the target metabolites and the target mRNAs of YSHS granule, including 7 differential metabolites such as phosphatidylethanolamine and 7 differential genes such as Adcy3. The 7 differential metabolites had high predictive value of AUC, and the validation of 7 differential genes were highly consistent with the sequencing results. CONCLUSION YSHS granule could improve DKD through the "gut-kidney axis". Lactobacillus and Lactobacillus_murinus were the main driving forces. 6 pathways related to glucose and lipid metabolism, especially Glycerophospholipid metabolism, may be an important follow-up response and regulatory mechanism.

Abstract
Many lines of evidence demonstrate the associations of colorectal cancer (CRC) with intestinal microbial dysbiosis. Recent reports have suggested that maintaining the homeostasis of microbiota and host might be beneficial to CRC patients, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we established a CRC mouse model of microbial dysbiosis and evaluated the effects of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on CRC progression. Azomethane and dextran sodium sulfate were used to induce CRC and microbial dysbiosis in mice. Intestinal microbes from healthy mice were transferred to CRC mice by enema. The vastly disordered gut microbiota of CRC mice was largely reversed by FMT. Intestinal microbiota from normal mice effectively suppressed cancer progression as assessed by measuring the diameter and number of cancerous foci and significantly prolonged survival of the CRC mice. In the intestine of mice that had received FMT, there were massive infiltration of immune cells, including CD8+ T and CD49b+ NK, which is able to directly kill cancer cells. Moreover, the accumulation of immunosuppressive cells, Foxp3+ Treg cells, seen in the CRC mice was much reduced after FMT. Additionally, FMT regulated the expressions of inflammatory cytokines in CRC mice, including down-regulation of IL1a, IL6, IL12a, IL12b, IL17a, and elevation of IL10. These cytokines were positively correlated with Azospirillum_sp._47_25, Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1, the E. coli complex, Akkermansia, Turicibacter, and negatively correlated with Muribaculum, Anaeroplasma, Candidatus_Arthromitus, and Candidatus Saccharimonas. Furthermore, the repressed expressions of TGFb, STAT3 and elevated expressions of TNFa, IFNg, CXCR4 together promoted the anti-cancer efficacy. Their expressions were positively correlated with Odoribacter, Lachnospiraceae-UCG-006, Desulfovibrio, and negatively correlated with Alloprevotella, Ruminococcaceae UCG-014, Ruminiclostridium, Prevotellaceae UCG-001 and Oscillibacter. Our studies indicate that FMT inhibits the development of CRC by reversing gut microbial disorder, ameliorating excessive intestinal inflammation and cooperating with anti-cancer immune responses.

Abstract
Human gut microbiome research, especially gut microbiome, has been developing at a considerable pace over the last decades, driven by a rapid technological advancement. The emergence of high-throughput technologies, such as genomics, transcriptomics, and others, has afforded the generation of large volumes of data, and in relation to specific pathologies such as different cancer types. The current review identifies high-throughput technologies as they have been implemented in the study of microbiome and cancer. Four main thematic areas have emerged: the characterization of microbial diversity and composition, microbial functional analyses, biomarker prediction, and, lastly, potential therapeutic applications. The majority of studies identified focus on the microbiome diversity characterization, which is reaching technological maturity, while the remaining three thematic areas could be described as emerging.
