Causal Link between Gut Microbiota, Neurophysiological States, and Bone Diseases: A Comprehensive Mendelian Randomization Study.
Increasing evidence highlights a robust correlation between the gut microbiota and bone diseases; however, the existence of a causal relationship between them remains unclear. In this study, we thoroughly examined the correlation between gut microbiota and skeletal diseases using genome-wide association studies. Linkage disequilibrium score regression and Mendelian randomization were used to probe genetic causality. Furthermore, the potential mediating role of neuropsychological states (i.e., cognition, depression, and insomnia) between the gut microbiota and bone diseases was evaluated using mediation analysis, with genetic colocalization analysis revealing potential targets. These findings suggest a direct causal relationship between Ruminococcaceae and knee osteoarthritis (OA), which appears to be mediated by cognitive performance and insomnia. Similarly, a causal association was observed between Burkholderiales and lumbar pelvic fractures, mediated by cognitive performance. Colocalization analysis identified a shared causal variant (rs2352974) at the TRAF-interacting protein locus for cognitive ability and knee OA. This study provides compelling evidence that alterations in the gut microbiota can enhance cognitive ability, ameliorate insomnia, and potentially reduce the risk of site-specific fractures and OA. Therefore, strategies targeting gut microbiota optimization could serve as novel and effective preventive measures against fractures and OA.

Fecal microbiota as a predictor of acupuncture responses in patients with postpartum depressive disorder.
BACKGROUND: There are several clinical and molecular predictors of responses to antidepressant therapy. However, these markers are either too subjective or complex for clinical use. The gut microbiota could provide an easily accessible set of biomarkers to predict therapeutic efficacy, but its value in predicting therapy responses to acupuncture in patients with depression is unknown. Here we analyzed the predictive value of the gut microbiota in patients with postpartum depressive disorder (PPD) treated with acupuncture. METHODS: Seventy-nine PPD patients were enrolled: 55 were treated with acupuncture and 24 did not received any treatment. The 17-item Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD-17) was used to assess patients at baseline and after eight weeks. Patients receiving acupuncture treatment were divided into an acupuncture-responsive group or non-responsive group according to HAMD-17 scores changes. Baseline fecal samples were obtained from the patients receiving acupuncture and were analyzed by high-throughput 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing to characterize the gut microbiome. RESULTS: 47.27% patients responded to acupuncture treatment and 12.5% patients with no treatment recovered after 8-week follow-up. There was no significant difference in α-diversity between responders and non-responders. The β-diversity of non-responders was significantly higher than responders. Paraprevotella and Desulfovibrio spp. were significantly enriched in acupuncture responders, and these organisms had an area under the curve of 0.76 and 0.66 for predicting responder patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Paraprevotella and Desulfovibrioare may be useful predictive biomarkers to predict PPD patients likely to respond to acupuncture. Larger studies and validation in independent cohorts are now needed to validate our findings.

Gut and vaginal microbiomes on steroids: implications for women's health.
This review discusses the interactions of steroids with the gut and vaginal microbiomes within each life phase of adult women and the implications for women's health. Each phase of a woman's life is characterized by distinct hormonal states which drive overall physiology of both host and commensal microbes. These host-microbiome interactions underlie disease pathology in disorders that affect women across their lifetime, including bacterial vaginosis, gestational diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), anxiety, depression, and obesity. Although many associations between host health and microbiome composition are well defined, the mechanistic role of the microbiome in women's health outcomes is largely unknown. This review addresses potential mechanisms by which the microbiota influences women's health and highlights gaps in current knowledge.

Plant-Derived Nutraceuticals in Mental Health and Brain Function: Mechanisms of Action and Therapeutic Potential.
Considering the multiple benefits of nutraceuticals, and given the growing interest in exploring these effects, understanding their mechanisms and implications in mental well-being and neurological integrity is essential and requires further examination to clarify their therapeutic potential. This narrative review provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in plant-derived nutraceuticals, particularly regarding their impact on mental health and brain function, by examining their bioactive components, their involvement in neuropsychiatric conditions, their role in neurodegeneration, emerging nutraceuticals with clinical relevance, and gut microbiome interactions with nutraceuticals and phytochemicals. Essential fatty acids, prebiotics, phytochemicals, and nutrients such as amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and omega-3 fatty acids contribute to mood regulation and cognitive function. Nutraceuticals can prevent or slow neurodegeneration by targeting misfolded proteins and modulating oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and dysregulated signaling pathways. Phytochemicals act as phytopsychobiotics, influencing mental health through gut microbiome modulation and generation of bioactive metabolites. Hypericum and curcumin exert neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidepressant effects. Ginsenosides promote neuroprotection, partially via gut microbiome-mediated mechanisms. Administration of Ginkgo biloba polysaccharides and lavender essential oil improves neurotransmitter regulation, intestinal barrier integrity, and depressive-like behaviors in preclinical models. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, anthocyanins, quercetin, catechins, and chlorogenic acid support neuroprotection and cognitive function via modulation of beneficial gut bacteria, short-chain fatty acid production, anti-inflammatory effects, and serotonin metabolism. The landscape of nutraceuticals offers a diverse range of dietary options with considerable potential to promote mental health and prevent neurodegeneration, but further research is required to elucidate how the gut microbiome may enhance these bioactivities.

Gut microbiome-derived lactate promotes to anxiety-like behaviors through GPR81 receptor-mediated lipid metabolism pathway.
Accumulating evidence suggests that chronic stress could perturb the composition of the gut microbiota and induce host anxiety- and depression-like behaviors. In particular, microorganism-derived products that can directly or indirectly signal to the nervous system. This study sought to investigate whether high levels of Lactobacillus and lactate in the gut of rats under chronic unpredictable stress (CUS) were the factors leading to anxiety behavior. We collected faeces and blood samples in a sterile laboratory bench to study the microbiome and plasma metabolome from adult male rats age and environment matched healthy individuals. We sequenced the V3 and V4 regions of the 16S rRNA gene from faeces samples. UPLC-MS metabolomics were used to examine plasma samples. Search for potential biomarkers by combining the different data types. Finally, we found a regulated signaling pathway through the relative expression of protein and mRNA. Both lactate feeding and fecal microbiota transplantation caused behavioral abnormalities such as psychomotor malaise, impaired learning and memory in the recipient animals. These rats also showed inhibition of the adenylate cyclase (AC)-protein kinase A (PKA) pathway of lipolysis after activation of G protein-coupled receptor 81 (GPR81) by lactate in the liver, as well as increased tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), compared with healthy controls. Furthermore, we showed that sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 2 (S1PR2) protein expression in hippocampus was reduced in chronic unpredictable stress compared to control group and its expression negatively correlates with symptom severity. Our study suggest that the gut microbiome-derived lactate promotes to anxiety-like behaviors through GPR81 receptor-mediated lipid metabolism pathway.

Precision medicine for depression: Improving treatment response and remission.
This review synthesises current knowledge to improve understanding of the pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD) and optimise diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic approaches. It examines the interplay between genetic, epigenetic, inflammatory, neurotransmitter and gut microbiome factors, together with environmental stressors and different clinical symptom presentations, in shaping MDD presentation and treatment response. Studies have revealed potential biomarkers predictive of treatment response, allowing differentiation of MDD subtypes and facilitating remission monitoring. While studies have identified potential biomarkers predictive of treatment response and enabling MDD subtype differentiation, significant challenges remain in achieving fully optimized therapeutic efficacy and widespread remission. A holistic, data-driven approach is key to addressing the complex aetiology of MDD, ultimately improving outcomes for patients and reducing the substantial burden of this prevalent disorder.

Drunk bugs: Chronic vapour alcohol exposure induces marked changes in the gut microbiome in mice.
The gut microbiota includes a community of bacteria that play an integral part in host health and biological processes. Pronounced and repeated findings have linked gut microbiome to stress, anxiety, and depression. Currently, however, there remains only a limited set of studies focusing on microbiota change in substance abuse, including alcohol use disorder. To date, no studies have investigated the impact of vapour alcohol administration on the gut microbiome. For research on gut microbiota and addiction to proceed, an understanding of how route of drug administration affects gut microbiota must first be established. Animal models of alcohol abuse have proven valuable for elucidating the biological processes involved in addiction and alcohol-related diseases. This is the first study to investigate the effect of vapour route of ethanol administration on gut microbiota in mice. Adult male C57BL/6J mice were exposed to 4 weeks of chronic intermittent vapourized ethanol (CIE, N=10) or air (Control, N=9). Faecal samples were collected at the end of exposure followed by 16S sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. Robust separation between CIE and Control was seen in the microbiome, as assessed by alpha (p<0.05) and beta (p<0.001) diversity, with a notable decrease in alpha diversity in CIE. These results demonstrate that CIE exposure markedly alters the gut microbiota in mice. Significant increases in genus Alistipes (p<0.001) and significant reductions in genra Clostridium IV and XIVb (p<0.001), Dorea (p<0.01), and Coprococcus (p<0.01) were seen between CIE mice and Control. These findings support the viability of the CIE method for studies investigating the microbiota-gut-brain axis and align with previous research showing similar microbiota alterations in inflammatory states during alcoholic hepatitis and psychological stress.

Role of diet and its effects on the gut microbiome in the pathophysiology of mental disorders.
There is emerging evidence that diet has a major modulatory influence on brain-gut-microbiome (BGM) interactions with important implications for brain health, and for several brain disorders. The BGM system is made up of neuroendocrine, neural, and immune communication channels which establish a network of bidirectional interactions between the brain, the gut and its microbiome. Diet not only plays a crucial role in shaping the gut microbiome, but it can modulate structure and function of the brain through these communication channels. In this review, we summarize the evidence available from preclinical and clinical studies on the influence of dietary habits and interventions on a selected group of psychiatric and neurologic disorders including depression, cognitive decline, Parkinson's disease, autism spectrum disorder and epilepsy. We will particularly address the role of diet-induced microbiome changes which have been implicated in these effects, and some of which are shared between different brain disorders. While the majority of these findings have been demonstrated in preclinical and in cross-sectional, epidemiological studies, to date there is insufficient evidence from mechanistic human studies to make conclusions about causality between a specific diet and microbially mediated brain function. Many of the dietary benefits on microbiome and brain health have been attributed to anti-inflammatory effects mediated by the microbial metabolites of dietary fiber and polyphenols. The new attention given to dietary factors in brain disorders has the potential to improve treatment outcomes with currently available pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies.

Integrating exposomics and multi-omics with dysbiosis biomarkers for clinical and environmental connections implicated in neuropathology. Cause and cure cluses.
Multi-omic investigations into environmental effects on health and disease are aided by inclusion of microbial microbiomes with assessment of mirobes producing metabolites that differentially modulate host organ functions. The gut microbiome is key because many environmental toxicants enter the body orally and may disrupt gut microbes that help digest food, as well as the microbiome-gut-brain axis, which produces regulatory metabolites with systemic effects. Environmental stressors may differentially alter brain development and function, even among identical twins, in that over time, there may be divergence due to epigenetic effects from the environment, including microbes within the microbiome. The diversity of microbiomes is presented as playing a key role in the influence of organs on each other, health, and the development of disorders. The gut microbes and their metabolites may cause mitochondria to produce less ATP and more reactive oxygen species (ROS). The metabolites produced by microbes during the digestion of foods can nourish or harm a person's cellular and molecular functions and vary depending on each person's exposome. The detrimental effects of environmental stressors are discussed, focusing on how altered levels of neuropeptides, neurotransmitters, and the inflammatory/anti-inflammatory balance affect health and disorders. During ATP production, dysfunctional mitochondria may produce more ROS, which can lead to inflammation and oxidative stress, causing cell damage and disrupting products needed for neuronal development, connections, and functions. The balance between inflammatory/anti-inflammatory biomarkers and metabolites and between oxidants/antioxidants is discussed in relation to some clinical connections; for example, the proportions of CD4 and CD8 T cells in HIV patients and the ROS-to-glutathione ratio in inflammatory bowel disease and septic patients. These imbalances are reviewed regarding brain development and functions leading to anxiety, depression, and dementia. The integration of multi-omics, dysbiosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction with a person's clinical evaluation is discussed to inform the formulation of prevention measures and therapeutic interventions regarding environmental effects on the microbiome-gut-brain axis and physical and mental health.

Breastfeeding and the gut-brain axis: is there a role for melatonin?
The benefits of breastfeeding over formula feed are widely appreciated. However, for many mothers breastfeeding is not possible, highlighting the need for a significant improvement in the contents of formula feed. In this article, the overlooked role of melatonin and the melatonergic pathways in breast milk and in the regulation of wider breast milk components are reviewed. There is a growing appreciation that the benefits of breastfeeding are mediated by its effects in the infant gut, with consequences for the development of the gut-brain axis and the immune system. The melatonergic pathways are intimately associated with highly researched processes in the gut, gut microbiome and gut-brain axis. As the melatonergic pathways are dependent on the levels of serotonin availability as a necessary precursor, decreased melatonin is linked to depression and depression-associated disorders. The association of breastfeeding and the gut-brain axis with a host of medical conditions may be mediated by their regulation of processes that modulate depression susceptibility. The biological underpinnings of depression include increased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress, kynurenine pathway activity and dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis, all of which can decrease melatonergic pathway activity. The inclusion of the melatonergic pathways in the biological interactions of breast milk and gut development has significant theoretical and treatment implications, as well as being important to the prevention of a host of infant-, child- and adult-onset medical conditions.
