Abstract
BACKGROUND Probiotics are a potentially effective therapy for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); IBD is linked to impaired gut microbiota and intestinal immunity. However, the utilization of an antibiotic cocktail (Abx) prior to the probiotic intervention remains controversial. This study aims to identify the effect of Abx pretreatment from dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis and to evaluate whether Abx pretreatment has an enhanced effect on the protection of Clostridium butyricum Miyairi588 (CBM) from colitis. RESULTS The inflammation, dysbiosis, and dysfunction of gut microbiota as well as T cell response were both enhanced by Abx pretreatment. Additionally, CBM significantly alleviated the DSS-induced colitis and impaired gut epithelial barrier, and Abx pretreatment could enhance these protective effects. Furthermore, CBM increased the benefit bacteria abundance and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) level with Abx pretreatment. CBM intervention after Abx pretreatment regulated the imbalance of cytokines and transcription factors, which corresponded to lower infiltration of Th1 and Th17 cells, and increased Th2 cells. CONCLUSIONS Abx pretreatment reinforced the function of CBM in ameliorating inflammation and barrier damage by increasing beneficial taxa, eliminating pathogens, and inducing a protective Th2 cell response. This study reveals a link between Abx pretreatment, microbiota, and immune response changes in colitis, which provides a reference for the further application of Abx pretreatment before microbiota-based intervention.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide. Hedgehog Interacting Protein (HHIP) is evolutionarily conserved protein, which are important morphogens for a wide range of developmental processes,However, the specific role and mechanism of HHIP in CRC remains not fully understood. In this study, we first performed pan-cancer analysis for HHIP's expression via The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) data and found that HHIP might be a potential anti-oncogene for CRC. Subsequently, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) contributing to down-regulated HHIP expression were identified through a combination of a series of in silico analyses, including expression and correlation analysis. Finally, the LINC02381/miR-577 complex was identified as the top potential upstream regulator of HHIP in CRC. In addition, HHIP expression level was significantly correlated with tumor immune cell infiltration, biomarkers of immune cells, and immune checkpoint expression. Overall, our findings clarified ncRNAs-mediated down-regulation of HHIP which was associated with poor prognosis and tumor immune infiltration in CRC.
