Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and their exopolysaccharides (EPS) are recognized to promote intestinal barrier function by mechanisms that remain incompletely understood. Herein, we sought to identify the roles of exopolysaccharides from Lactobacillus plantarum NCU116 (EPS116) in intestinal barrier function. Our data showed that EPS116 attenuated dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) induced colitis and promoted epithelial barrier function and the expression of tight junction (TJ) proteins in vivo and in vitro. Moreover, chromatin immunoprecipitation data showed that EPS116 facilitated STAT3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 3) binding to the promoter of occludin and ZO-1. Furthermore, knockdown of STAT3 in Caco-2 cell with EPS116 treatment led to decreased expression of occludin and ZO-1 and increased intestinal permeability, suggesting that the regulation of epithelial barrier function by EPS116 should be STAT3 dependent. Thus, our data revealed a novel mechanism that EPS116 inhibited intestinal inflammation via regulating intestinal epithelial barrier function.

Quercetin Alleviates Acrylamide-Induced Liver Injury by Inhibiting Autophagy-Dependent Ferroptosis

Tongwen Huang, Ke Zhang, Junqiao Wang, Kaihong He, Xingtao Zhou, Shaoping Nie

Summary: This study found that quercetin can alleviate the hepatotoxicity caused by acrylamide generated in heat-treated foods. Experiments on mice showed that quercetin can reduce the oxidative stress levels induced by acrylamide and protect the liver from damage. The results demonstrated that quercetin suppressed acrylamide-induced ferroptosis by inhibiting oxidative stress-driven autophagy, leading to the mitigation of liver injury.

Summary: This study aimed to remove the controversial anthraquinones from Cassia obtusifolia seed water extracts (CWEs) using baking treatment (BT), stir-frying treatment (ST), and adsorption treatment (AT). Results showed that AT had the best removal effect on total anthraquinones and increased the content of neutral sugars in CWEs. However, AT decreased the antioxidant activity of CWEs.

Glucan from Dictyophora rubrovolvata boosts immunity by regulating AKT-STAT1 pathway to induce dendritic cells maturation and T cells differentiation

Yu Wu, Wengan Zhou, RuTing Feng, Duoduo Zhang, Yongkang Yu, Zuanyuan Huang, Junyi Yin, Xingtao Zhou, Shaoping Nie

Summary: The immunomodulatory effects of glucan from fruit body of Dictyophora rubrovolvata (DRP) were evaluated in this study. It was found that DRP can recover CTX-induced immunosuppression and activate dendritic cells (DCs) to increase cytokine secretion. The study also revealed that DRP regulates the AKT-STAT1 signaling pathway via Mincle in DCs to induce CD4(+) T cell proliferation and differentiation, thereby ameliorating CTX-induced immunosuppression.

Summary: Polysaccharides are commonly used as carriers for colon-targeted drugs, but their degradation and effects on gut microbiota in colitis conditions are unclear. In this study, the fermentation of four polysaccharides using colonic content microbiota from mice with colitis was performed. The results show that pectin and guar gum have a greater degree of degradation and promote the production of beneficial bacteria, while carrageenan and xanthan gum promote the proliferation of harmful bacteria.

Modified Prebiotic-Based Shield Armed Probiotics with Enhanced Resistance of Gastrointestinal Stresses and Prolonged Intestinal Retention for Synergistic Alleviation of Colitis

Anqi Xie, Haihua Ji, Zheyi Liu, Yiqun Wan, Xuecong Zhang, Huihuang Xiong, Shao-Ping Nie, Hao Wan

Summary: Oral administration of probiotics is a promising method to alleviate inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), but sensitivity to the gastrointestinal environment and poor intestinal colonization hinder their effectiveness. In this study, a modified prebiotic-based shield (Fe-TA@mGN) was developed to enhance the stress resistance ability and intestinal colonization of Escherichia coli Nissle 1917 (EcN). The shield improved the survival rate of EcN and its retention in the intestine, leading to efficient alleviation of colitis. Additionally, the shield synergized with EcN to regulate gut microbiota and promote the production of short-chain fatty acids, further enhancing the alleviation of colitis.
