Summary: Hyperuricemia is a growing public health burden and a risk factor for various diseases. Lactic acid bacteria, particularly Limosilactobacillus fermentum NCUH003018, Limosilactobacillus reuteri NCUH064056, and Lactobacillus gasseri NCUH066006, have shown potential in treating hyperuricemia. These bacteria exhibited efficient degradation of inosine and guanosine, inhibition of xanthine oxidase activity, and various other beneficial properties. In vivo studies on hyperuricemia mice models revealed that Limosilactobacillus fermentum NCU003018 was the most effective in lowering uric acid levels. This finding suggests that Limosilactobacillus fermentum NCU003018 may serve as a promising probiotic for preventing and treating hyperuricemia.

Summary: This study observed heterogeneous subpopulations of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei L9 induced by acid adaption using flow cytometry and found that the viable subpopulation showed superior acid tolerance. Transcriptomic analysis identified five upregulated genes in the viable subpopulation, with bglG playing a key role in regulating the acid stress response heterogeneity. The study provides new evidence for the mechanism of acid tolerance and may contribute to improving the acid tolerance of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei L9.

Summary: The importance of food contaminants in the link between diet and cancer has been widely demonstrated. Different strategies have been explored to control human exposure to dietary carcinogens, but most of them are complex, costly, and have low efficiency. Microbiological methods, particularly lactic acid bacteria and yeast, have received more attention recently as dietary carcinogen-binding agents, potentially reducing the toxic effects of carcinogens by reducing their bioaccessibility.

Summary: The potential of two identified probiotic strains, ABRIIFBI-6 and ABRIIFBI-7, to inhibit the growth of aspergilli and reduce aflatoxin availability was investigated. Both strains survived in simulated gastrointestinal conditions and significantly inhibited Aspergillus growth. They also exhibited high auto-aggregation, hydrophobicity, and coaggregation abilities with other bacteria. These findings contribute to the understanding of LAB probiotic potential in dairy products and their use as biocontrol agents against aflatoxin-producing species.

Summary: The study assessed the capability of lactic acid bacteria in removing benzo[a]pyrene from contaminated PBS. It was found that different strains had varying abilities in BaP removal, with Bifidobacterium lactis BB-12 and Lactobacillus casei TD10 showing the lowest binding ability and Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus PTCC 1737, Lactobacillus casei TD4, and Lactobacillus brevis TD3 demonstrating the highest binding ability. The results indicated that the BaP binding rate was influenced by pH, cell density, time, and BaP concentration in linear and quadratic ways, with interactions between cell density and time as well as between time and BaP concentration.

Summary: The presence of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) as probiotics in the harsh intestinal environment is usually temporary. Quorum sensing (QS), a form of bacterial communication based on signaling molecules, has gained attention for its important role in regulating LAB properties that support colonization in the intestines. QS is also involved in autolysis and bacteriocin production by LAB, which are essential processes for the application of these species as probiotics or starter cultures. This review discusses LAB's QS systems, the factors that may affect QS, the impact of QS on LAB's intestinal colonization, and the possible interactions mediated by QS between probiotics and the gut microbiome.

Summary: The gut-liver axis is crucial in the development of NAFLD and FFAR4 may act as a bridge between the gut and liver. In this study, FFAR4 deficiency in mice with high endogenous n-3 PUFAs blocked the protective effects on intestinal barrier dysfunction and hepatic steatosis. FFAR4 deficiency also affected the gut microbiota and various metabolic pathways associated with NAFLD aggravation. These findings highlight the role of FFAR4 in the treatment of NAFLD through the gut-liver axis.

Summary: This study developed PEGylated manganese/iron-based single-atom catalysts (SACs) that possess incredible catalytic activity. These SACs catalyze the conversion of cellular hydrogen peroxide to hydroxyl radical through a Fenton-like reaction and enhance the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide to cytotoxic superoxide ion via oxidase-like activity. The synergistic antitumor efficacy of these SACs has been demonstrated in in vitro and in vivo experiments. This study proposes new promising single-atom nanozymes with highly efficient biocatalytic sites and synergistic therapeutic effects for ROS-related biological applications in broad biomedical fields.

Summary: Ferroptosis caused by polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) peroxidation plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of acute kidney injury (AKI), suggesting that dietary intake of PUFA may pose a risk for individuals susceptible to AKI. However, in addition to ferroptosis, other mechanisms such as inflammation-associated necroptosis and pyroptosis also contribute to different types of AKI. Therefore, further evaluation is needed to understand the role of PUFA in different AKIs, especially & omega;3 PUFA which is commonly consumed as a food supplement.

Summary: Disruption of blood glucose utilization can lead to diabetes mellitus, and free fatty acid receptors (FFARs) play an important role in the genetic and dietary aspects. This study found that FFAR4 has a significant effect on glucose homeostasis, and knockout of the FFAR4 gene impairs glucose tolerance in mice under high-fat feeding and chow diet conditions. Furthermore, deficiency of intestinal FFAR4 affects the composition of gut microbiota, especially at ZT12 under chow diet conditions.

Summary: The treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) has always been a clinical challenge. The traditional approach is to reduce dihydrotestosterone biosynthesis or block androgen receptor (AR) signaling. However, this study suggests that the use of AR inhibitors can actually lead to drug tolerance and resistance. The up-regulation of peroxiredoxin 5 (PRDX5) is shown to promote resistance to AR inhibitors and the development of CRPC. Inhibition of PRDX5 suppresses drug-tolerant persister (DTP) cell proliferation, dampens CRPC development, and stabilizes disease progression in patients.

Summary: This study investigates the role of metabolic disorder/reprogramming-mediated epigenetic modification in the progression of T-2 toxin-stimulated podocyte injury. The researchers found that O-GlcNAcylation plays a vital regulatory role in the development of T-2 toxin-stimulated podocyte injury by activating the mTOR pathway to suppress autophagy. Targeting beta-arrestin-1 or OGT could be a potential therapy for T-2 toxin infection-associated glomerular injury, especially podocyte injury.
