    Lactobacillaceae-mediated eye-brain-gut axis regulates high myopia-related anxiety: from the perspective of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine.

    Mi Y, Chen K, Lin S, Tong L, Zhou J, Wan M

    BACKGROUND: High myopia has become a major cause of blindness worldwide and can contribute to emotional deficits through its impact on the central nervous system. The potential crosstalk with gut microbiome positions high myopia as a valuable model for studying the eye-brain-gut axis, highlighting the intricate interplay between visual health, neurological function, and the gut microbiome. Understanding these connections is crucial from a predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM) perspective, as it may reveal novel intervention targets for managing both visual and mental health. WORKING HYPOTHESIS AND METHODOLOGY: In our study, we hypothesized that visual stimuli associated with high myopia may lead to gut microecological dysregulation, potentially triggering mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. To test this hypothesis, we assessed genetic associations between high myopia (N = 50,372) and depression (N = 674,452) as well as anxiety (N = 21,761) using inverse variance weighted as the primary analytical method. We also investigated the potential mediating role of the gut microbiome (N = 18,340). The findings were validated in an independent cohort and summarized through meta-analysis. RESULTS: A genetic causal relationship between high myopia and anxiety was found (odds ratio [OR] = 8.76; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.69-28.54; p = 3.16 × 10-4), with 20.3% of the effect mediated by the gut microbiome family Lactobacillaceae (β = 0.517; 95% CI, 0.104-1.090; p = 0.037). The analysis also showed a suggestive causal relationship between high myopia and depression (OR = 1.25; 95% CI, 1.00-1.57; p = 0.048). CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that high myopia causes anxiety via the Lactobacillaceae family of the gut microbiome, supporting the eye-brain-gut axis concept. This underscores the need to shift from reactive to predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine (PPPM). Targeting Lactobacillaceae offers novel insights for early intervention and personalized treatment of high myopia-related anxiety and sheds light on interventions for other vision-related brain disorders.

    Mechanisms of the effect of gut microbes on depression through the microbiota-gut-brain axis.

    Zhou X, Wang S, Wang X, Chen X, Zhou P, Ma K et al.

    Depression is a significant public health issue which exerts profound psychological and social impacts on both individuals and society. However, existing therapeutic strategies often exhibit limited efficacy. Accumulating evidence underscores the vital role of gut microbiota in the pathophysiology of depression through the microbiota-gut-brain (MGB) axis. This involves multiple mechanisms, including short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) metabolism, communication via the vagal nerve, regulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, and immune-inflammatory interactions. This review provides a comprehensive review of the mechanisms through which gut microbiota influences depression via the MGB axis. It synthesizes recent achievements in this field and evaluates the potential of microbiome-targeted therapies for depression treatment. Furthermore, it outlines future research directions to establish a theoretical framework for novel therapeutic approaches and to foster the development of this area.

    Gut Microbiome Alterations, Mental Health, and Alcohol Consumption: Investigating the Gut-Brain Axis in Firefighters.

    Yoo JY, Sarkar A, Song HS, Bang S, Shim G, Springer C et al.

    Firefighters across the world face higher risks of occupational hazards, such as exposure to chemicals, extreme heat, traumatic stressors, and intense physical demands, which can increase their vulnerability to a range of psychological and physiological difficulties. These challenges include the risk of developing chronic stress, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), potentially leading to detrimental negative coping patterns such as alcohol abuse. The consequent health implications impact both short-term and long-term health and well-being. This study aimed to explore the relationship between mental health status, alcohol consumption patterns, and gut microbiome alterations in firefighters from two different regions-America and Korea. By investigating these relationships, we hope to gain insights into how repeated exposure to severe stressors impacts gut health. Healthy male firefighters (ages 21-50) and controls (matched sex, geography, and age) were recruited via flyers and snowball sampling in the United States and South Korea, resulting in 203 participants (102 firefighters and 101 controls). Firefighters reported significantly higher PTSD symptoms and depression and drank 2.3 times more alcohol than the control group. American firefighters reported more drinking than Koreans. There was a significant correlation between higher alcohol consumption and the likelihood of witnessing deaths by suicide. However, there were no correlations between alcohol consumption and PTSD symptom severity. There were associations between alcohol consumption patterns and aspects of the gut microbiome. This study highlights the mental health challenges faced by firefighters, including elevated rates of PTSD, depression, and alcohol consumption, with specific microbial imbalances linked to PTSD and alcohol use, emphasizing the role of the gut-brain axis.

    Gut Microbiota in Anxiety and Depression: Unveiling the Relationships and Management Options.

    Kumar A, Pramanik J, Goyal N, Chauhan D, Sivamaruthi BS, Prajapati BG et al.

    The gut microbiota is critical for maintaining human health and the immunological system. Several neuroscientific studies have shown the significance of microbiota in developing brain systems. The gut microbiota and the brain are interconnected in a bidirectional relationship, as research on the microbiome-gut-brain axis shows. Significant evidence links anxiety and depression disorders to the community of microbes that live in the gastrointestinal system. Modified diet, fish and omega-3 fatty acid intake, macro- and micro-nutrient intake, prebiotics, probiotics, synbiotics, postbiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation, and 5-HTP regulation may all be utilized to alter the gut microbiota as a treatment approach. There are few preclinical and clinical research studies on the effectiveness and reliability of various therapeutic approaches for depression and anxiety. This article highlights relevant research on the association of gut microbiota with depression and anxiety and the different therapeutic possibilities of gut microbiota modification.

    Gut Microbiome: A Brief Review on Its Role in Schizophrenia and First Episode of Psychosis.

    Tsamakis K, Galinaki S, Alevyzakis E, Hortis I, Tsiptsios D, Kollintza E et al.

    There is a growing body of evidence highlighting the role of gut microbiota as a biological basis of psychiatric disorders. The existing literature suggest that cognitive and emotional activities can be influenced by microbes through the microbiota-gut-brain axis and implies an association between alterations in the gut microbiome and several psychiatric conditions, such as autism, depression, bipolar disorder and psychosis. The aim of this review is to summarise recent findings and provide concise updates on the latest progress of the role of gut microbiota in the development and maintenance of psychiatric symptoms in schizophrenia and the first episode of psychosis. Despite the lack of consistent findings in regard to specific microbiome changes related to psychosis, the emerging literature reports significant differences in the gut microbiome of schizophrenic subjects compared to healthy controls and increasingly outlines the significance of an altered microbiome composition in the pathogenesis, development, symptom severity and prognosis of psychosis. Further human studies are, however, required, which should focus on identifying the drivers of microbiota changes in psychosis and establish the direction of causality between psychosis and microbiome alterations.

    Orally administered selenium-containing α-D-1,6-glucan and α-D-1,6-glucan relief early cognitive deficit in APP/PS1 mice.

    Che H, Wang X, He S, Dong X, Lv L, Xie W et al.

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a complex, progressive and deadly disorder that exhibits various typical pathological characteristics. Till now no effective treatment has been found that can prevent or reverse AD. Here, the effects of 2 months of treatment with α-D-1,6-glucan (CPA) and selenium-containing α-D-1,6-glucan (Se-CPA) on early cognitive dysfunction and neuropathology were explored in the 3-month-old APP/PS1 transgenic mouse. The results of the Morris water maze and open-field test revealed that Se-CPA exerted more significant effects than CPA in improving cognitive function and depressive-like behavior by attenuating the oxidative stress, decreasing serum LPS level, downregulating the inflammation of astrocytes and microglia through inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, mitigating neuronal cells loss and improving synaptic plasticity. Moreover, Se-CPA exerted beneficial effects on reshaping gut microbiome by increasing the microbial α-diversity, enhancing the proportion of beneficial bacteria such as Akkermansia muciniphila and promoting the SCFAs concentration. These findings provide evidence that Se-CPA might be a potentially viable compound for AD prevention.

    Compendium of Bifidobacterium-based probiotics: characteristics and therapeutic impact on human diseases.

    Bocchio F, Mancabelli L, Milani C, Lugli GA, Tarracchini C, Longhi G et al.

    The human microbiota, a complex community of microorganisms residing in and on the human body, plays a crucial role in maintaining health and preventing disease. Bifidobacterium species have shown remarkable therapeutic potential across a range of health conditions, thus being considered optimal probiotic bacteria. This review provides insights into the concept of probiotics and explores the impact of bifidobacteria on human health, focusing on the gastrointestinal, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. It also integrates information on the available genetic bases underlying the beneficial effects of each bifidobacterial probiotic species on different aspects of human physiology. Notably, Bifidobacterium-based probiotics have proven effective in managing gastrointestinal conditions such as constipation, antibiotic-associated diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and Helicobacter pylori infections. These benefits are achieved by modulating the intestinal microbiota, boosting immune responses, and strengthening the gut barrier. Moreover, Bifidobacterium species have been reported to reduce respiratory infections and asthma severity. Additionally, these probiotic bacteria offer benefits for skeletal and muscular health, as evidenced by Bifidobacterium adolescentis and Bifidobacterium breve, which have shown anti-inflammatory effects and symptom relief in arthritis models, suggesting potential in treating conditions like rheumatoid arthritis. Furthermore, probiotic therapies based on bifidobacterial species have shown promising effects in alleviating anxiety and depression, reducing stress, and enhancing cognitive function. Overall, this review integrates the extensive scientific literature now available that supports the health-promoting applications of probiotic Bifidobacterium species and underscores the need for further research to confirm their clinical efficacy across different body systems.

    Electroacupuncture alleviates comorbid obesity and depression via the gut-brain axis: orchestrating SCFA-producing bacteria and hippocampal synaptic plasticity.

    Zhang Y, Pang Y, Tan H, Xian R, Liang J, Wen Q et al.

    INTRODUCTION: Comorbid obesity and depression (COMBD) represents a complex metabolic-neuropsychiatric challenge with limited therapeutic options. While Electroacupuncture (EA) is effective for both metabolic and mood disorders, the systemic mechanisms-particularly the interplay between the gut microbiome and hippocampal plasticity-remain elusive. METHODS: We established a COMBD rat model using a high-fat diet combined with chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). An integrated multi-omics approach comprising 16S rDNA sequencing, LC-MS/MS serum metabolomics, and hippocampal transcriptomics was utilized to decipher the therapeutic mechanisms of EA. RESULTS: EA treatment significantly attenuated body weight gain and reversed depressive-like behaviors. Crucially, EA restructured the dysbiotic gut microbiota, specifically increasing the abundance of short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria. This microbial restoration was strongly correlated with a reprogrammed serum metabolic profile. In the hippocampus, transcriptomic analysis identified Cd74 as a pivotal upstream regulator modulated by EA. Furthermore, EA mitigated hippocampal oxidative stress and restored synaptic plasticity, evidenced by increased dendritic spine density and upregulated synaptic protein expression. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that EA ameliorates COMBD via a coordinated "Microbiota-Metabolism-Brain" axis. Specifically, EA creates a neuroprotective milieu by promoting beneficial SCFA-producing bacteria and regulating metabolic signals, which subsequently targets hippocampal Cd74 to restore synaptic plasticity. This study provides a novel mechanistic basis for the clinical application of EA in treating complex metabolic-mood comorbidities.

    Resveratrol Modulates the Gut-Brain Axis: Focus on Glucagon-Like Peptide-1, 5-HT, and Gut Microbiota.

    Chung JY, Jeong JH, Song J

    Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol that has anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties against stress condition. It is reported that resveratrol has beneficial functions in various metabolic and central nervous system (CNS) diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, depression, and dementia. Recently, many researchers have emphasized the connection between the brain and gut, called the gut-brain axis, for treating both CNS neuropathologies and gastrointestinal diseases. Based on previous findings, resveratrol is involved in glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) secreted by intestine L cells, the patterns of microbiome in the intestine, the 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) level, and CNS inflammation. Here, we review recent evidences concerning the relevance and regulatory function of resveratrol in the gut-brain axis from various perspectives. Here, we highlight the necessity for further study on resveratrol's specific mechanism in the gut-brain axis. We present the potential of resveratrol as a natural therapeutic substance for treating both neuropathology and gastrointestinal dysfunction.

    Correlation between human gut microbiome and diseases.

    Madhogaria B, Bhowmik P, Kundu A

    Human gut microbiome is a major source of human bacterial population and a significant contribution to both positive and harmful effects. Due to its involvement in a variety of interactions, gut microorganisms have a great impact on our health throughout our lives. The impact of gut microbial population is been studied intensively in last two decades. Extensive literature survey focusing developments in the field were searched in English language Electronic Databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, Pubag, Google books, and Research Gate were mostly used to understand the role of human gut mirobiome and its role in different human diseases. Gut microbiome in healthy subjects differs from those who suffer from diseases. Type 2 diabetes, obesity, non-alcoholic liver disease, and cardiometabolic diseases have all been linked to dysbiosis of the gut microbiota. Pathogenesis of many disorders is also linked to changes in gut microbiota. Other diseases like cancer, arithritis, autism, depression, anxiety, sleep disorder, HIV, hypertension, and gout are also related to gut microbiota dysbiosis. We focus in this review on recent studies looking into the link between gut microbiome dysbiosis and disease etiology. Research on how gut microbiota affects host metabolism has been changed in past decades from descriptive analyses to high throughput integrative omics data analysis such as metagenomics and metabolomics. Identification of molecular mechanisms behind reported associations is been carried out in human, animals, and cells for measure of host physiology and mechanics. Still many the mechanisms are not completely understood.
