Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques, tau hyperphosphorylation, and chronic neuroinflammation. While neuroinflammation-mediated by microglial and astrocyte activation-has long been considered a secondary response to Aβ pathology, emerging evidence positions it as a primary driver of cognitive decline. Notably, the gut microbiota, through the microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA), is crucial in modulating neuroinflammation. Dysbiosis disrupts gut barrier integrity, promotes systemic inflammation, and exacerbates neuroinflammatory responses, thereby accelerating AD progression. Recent advances reveal that gut microbiota-derived metabolites (e.g., short-chain fatty acids, lipopolysaccharides) directly influence microglial activation and Aβ aggregation. These findings have opened new therapeutic possibilities, with microbiota-targeted approaches such as probiotics, prebiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation demonstrating promising neuroprotective effects in preclinical studies by reducing neuroinflammation and preserving cognitive function. However, translating these findings into clinical applications requires further validation through randomized controlled trials. This review summarizes the current understanding of gut microbiota-driven neuroinflammation in AD, from molecular mechanisms to potential therapeutic strategies. Targeting the MGBA represents a paradigm shift in AD management, emphasizing the modulation of neuroinflammation and pathological progression through gut microbiota interventions. The discussion also addresses existing research challenges and outlines future directions to advance this promising field.
BACKGROUND:Several observational studies have revealed that different neurotrophic factors (NTFs) are associated with delirium, yet the direction and magnitude of the causal association remain poorly understood. Herein, we performed a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to investigate the causal relationship between these factors and delirium. METHODS:GWAS data for delirium were sourced from the FINN10 database; GWAS data for risk factors (protein kinase C-binding protein NELL1, neurotrophin-3, neurotrophin-4, brain-derived neurotrophic factor levels, nerve growth factor, ciliary neurotrophic factor, and glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor levels) were from the IEU Open GWAS. Inverse-variance weighted (IVW) was used as a primary analysis. MR-Egger, weighted median (WM), and weighted model were applied to validate the robustness of the results. The MR-Egger regression method was used to explore the presence of horizontal pleiotropy, and the MR pleiotropy residual sum, and outlier (MR-PRESSO) method was applied to detect potential outliers. Cochran's Q test assessed heterogeneity among instrumental variables (IVs). The leave-one-out (LOO) method was used to enhance the precision and veracity of our findings. RESULTS:IVW analyses revealed no association between risk factors and delirium. MR Egger, WM, and the weighted mode approach further confirmed these data. MR-Egger regression analysis confirmed the absence of directional pleiotropy in our analysis. Heterogeneity and sensitivity analyses showed reliable results. CONCLUSION:No association between other factors and delirium was identified; however, further research is needed to determine if these results apply to other races. Also, advances in molecular biology and epigenetics may shed light on this topic.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has become a major and escalating global health threat, undermining the effectiveness of current antibiotic and antimicrobial therapies. The rise of multidrug-resistant bacteria has led to increasingly difficult-to-treat infections, resulting in higher morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. Tackling this crisis requires the development of novel antimicrobial agents, optimization of current therapeutic strategies, and global initiatives in infection surveillance and control. Recent studies highlight the crucial role of the human gut microbiota in defending against AMR pathogens. A balanced microbiota protects the body through mechanisms such as colonization resistance, positioning it as a key ally in the fight against AMR. In contrast, gut dysbiosis disrupts this defense, thereby facilitating the persistence, colonization, and dissemination of resistant pathogens. This review will explore how gut microbiota influence drug-resistant bacterial infections, its involvement in various types of AMR-related infections, and the potential for novel microbiota-targeted therapies, such as fecal microbiota transplantation, prebiotics, probiotics, phage therapy. Elucidating the interactions between gut microbiota and AMR pathogens will provide critical insights for developing novel therapeutic strategies to prevent and treat AMR infections. While previous reviews have focused on the general impact of the microbiota on human health, this review will specifically look at the latest research on the interactions between the gut microbiota and the evolution and spread of AMR, highlighting potential therapeutic strategies.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a global health threat, particularly in critically ill patients with multidrug-resistant organism (MDRO) colonization or infection. While evidence suggests the gut microbiota plays a critical role in MDRO colonization and infection, its specific characteristics and the host immune response remain poorly understood. This case–control study compared 88 MDRO-infected patients, 100 MDRO-colonized patients, and 86 healthy controls, using 16S rRNA sequencing and cytokine profiling. MDRO cohorts exhibited profound gut dysbiosis, including reduced gut microbial diversity and distinct community structures, reduced beneficial bacteria (e.g., Bacteroides, Faecalibacterium, Roseburia, Prevotella), and expansion of pathobionts—resident microbes with pathogenic potential (e.g., Enterococcus, Klebsiella, Escherichia-Shigella). Enterotype analysis revealed a shift from a Bacteroides-dominated to one Enterococcus-dominated microbiota in both colonized and infected patients compared to controls. Serum cytokine profiling indicated immune dysfunction in MDRO-associated patients. Correlation analysis showed that beneficial genera were negatively correlated with pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1ra, IL-2, IL-7, TNF-α, and IFN-γ) and positively associated with anti-inflammatory markers, while pathobionts exhibited the opposite trend. Several key differential genera, such as Enterococcus and Klebsiella, either individually or in combination, have been identified as key discriminators of MDRO status. Functional predictions through PiCRUSt observed disruptions in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in the MDRO cohorts. Overall, MDRO colonization and infection lead to gut dysbiosis and immune dysfunction, with microbiota-immune interactions playing a crucial role in disease progression, suggesting the gut microbiota as a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target for AMR.
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common malignancy worldwide, with a high death rate. Long noncoding RNA (LncRNA) NKX2-1 antisense RNA 1 (NKX2-1-AS1) has been reported to be an oncogene in lung tumorigenesis. However, the precise mechanism of NKX2-1-AS1 underlying NSCLC progression is blurry. The intention of our research was to probe the potential mechanism of NKX2-1-AS1 underlying NSCLC. NKX2-1-AS1 expression and relevant downstream gene expression were measured using RT-qPCR. Cell proliferation and apoptosis were determined by MTT assay, EdU assay along with flow cytometry analysis. Cell migratory and invasive abilities were inspected by transwell assay. Western blot and immunofluorescence staining were utilized to assess the levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related proteins. RNA pull-down together with luciferase reporter assays were performed to verify the interaction between NKX2-1-AS1 and its downstream RNAs. Xenograft tumor-bearing mouse models were built to analyze tumor growth in vivo. The results suggested that NKX2-1-AS1 was upregulated in NSCLC patient tissues and cell lines. NKX2-1-AS1 deficiency suppressed cell proliferation, migration, invasion and EMT while elevated apoptosis. NKX2-1-AS1 bound to miR-589-5p, and NME/NM23 nucleoside diphosphate kinase 1 (NME1) was targeted by miR-589-5p in NSCLC cells. Additionally, NKX2-1-AS1 accelerated the progression of NSCLC by regulating miR-589-5p/NME1 axis. NKX2-1-AS1 knockdown repressed tumor growth in vivo. In conclusion, NKX2-1-AS1 accelerated the NSCLC progression through interacting with miR-589-5p for NME1 upregulation, which may provide clues for NSCLC targeting therapy.
The purpose of this study was to explore the value of resting-state magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based on the brain extraction tool (BET) algorithm in evaluating the cranial nerve function of patients with delirium in intensive care unit (ICU). A total of 100 patients with delirium in hospital were studied, and 20 healthy volunteers were used as control. All the subjects were examined by MRI, and the images were analyzed by the BET algorithm, and the convolution neural network (CNN) algorithm was introduced for comparison. The application effects of the two algorithms were analyzed, and the differences of brain nerve function between delirium patients and normal people were explored. The results showed that the root mean square error, high frequency error norm, and structural similarity of the BET algorithm were 70.4%, 71.5%, and 0.92, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the CNN algorithm (P < 0.05). Compared with normal people, the ReHo values of pontine, hippocampus (right), cerebellum (left), midbrain, and basal ganglia in delirium patients were significantly higher. ReHo values of frontal gyrus, middle frontal gyrus, left inferior frontal gyrus, parietal lobe, and temporal lobe and anisotropy scores (FA) of cerebellums (left), frontal lobe, temporal lobe (left), corpus callosum, and hippocampus (left) decreased significantly. The average diffusivity (MD) of medial frontal lobe, superior temporal gyrus (right), the first half of cingulate gyrus, bilateral insula, and caudate nucleus (left) increased significantly (P < 0.05). MRI based on the deep learning algorithm can effectively improve the image quality, which is valuable in evaluating the brain nerve function of delirium patients. Abnormal brain structure damage and abnormal function can be used to help diagnose delirium.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of moxifloxacin combined with biapenem on controlling inflammatory responses and improving immune function in older adult patients with severe pneumonia.Methods:120 older adult patients with severe pneumonia, who received treatment in the Second People's Hospital of Lishui from February 2017 to March 2020, were included in this study. They were randomly assigned to receive either biapenem (control group, n = 55) or moxifloxacin combined with biapenem (observation group, n = 65) for 7 days. Inflammatory response control, immune function improvement, and adverse reactions were assessed in each group after treatment. Results:After treatment, levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in the observation group were (24.51 ± 4.24) ng/L, (12.51 ± 3.15) mg/L and (4.62 ± 1.05) μg/L, respectively, which were significantly lower than those in the control group [(48.74 ± 4.67) ng/L, (26.80 ± 4.24) mg/L, (8.92 ± 1.10) μg/L, t = 29.77, 21.14, 21.87, all P < 0.001). The proportion of CD 3+ and CD 4+ cells and CD 4+ / CD 8+ ratio in the observation group were (63.27 ± 3.72)%, (39.97 ± 2.18)%, 1.79 ± 0.16, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group [(55.58 ± 2.28)%, (35.18 ± 2.62)%, 1.41 ± 0.15, t = 17.08, 10.93, 13.34, all P < 0.001). Total effective rate was significantly higher in the observation group than in the control group [96.92% (63/65) vs. 83.64% (46/55), χ2 = 6.32, P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between observation and control groups [10.77% (7/65) vs. 9.09% (5/55), χ2 = 0.09, P > 0.05]. Conclusion:Moxifloxacin combined with biapenem based on routine treatment for severe pneumonia in older adult patients can greatly strengthen anti-inflammatory effects, improve immune function, and enhance clinical efficacy without increasing adverse drug reactions.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most prevalent liver diseases without effective pharmacological intervention. Liensinine (LIEN), a plant-derived isoquinoline alkaloid, exerts key roles in regulating various cellular processes. However, its potential on NAFLD progression has not been reported. In the study, we attempted to explore the regulatory effects of LIEN on fatty liver, and the underlying molecular mechanisms. Our in vitro experiments showed that LIEN treatments significantly reduced the lipid deposition in palmitate acid (PA)-treated cells by improving AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation. Additionally, excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation was also strongly down-regulated by LIEN in cells upon PA stimulation through enhancing nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) nuclear translocation. Moreover, PA-triggered inflammatory response was markedly restrained by LIEN via the blockage of TGF-β-activating kinase 1/nuclear factor-κB (TAK1/NF-κB) signaling. Intriguingly, we further found that LIEN-prohibited ROS production, lipid disorder and inflammation were largely dependent on AMPK activation through repressing TAK1. Consistently, our in vivo experiments confirmed that LIEN treatments efficiently improved the metabolic disorder, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia in high fat diet (HFD)-fed mice. Furthermore, HFD-triggered oxidative stress and inflammation in liver were greatly meliorated by LIEN administration by mediating Nrf2 and TAK1 signaling pathways, respectively. Collectively, all these findings demonstrated that LIEN exerted anti-dyslipidemia, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects to alleviate NAFLD progression mainly through modulating TAK1/AMPK signaling, and thus could be considered as a promising therapeutic strategy.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common age-related progressive neurodegenerative disease, characterized by a decline in cognitive function and neuronal loss, and is caused by several factors. Numerous clinical and experimental studies have suggested the involvement of gut microbiota dysbiosis in patients with AD. The altered gut microbiota can influence brain function and behavior through the microbiota–gut–brain axis via various pathways such as increased amyloid-β deposits and tau phosphorylation, neuroinflammation, metabolic dysfunctions, and chronic oxidative stress. With no current effective therapy to cure AD, gut microbiota modulation may be a promising therapeutic option to prevent or delay the onset of AD or counteract its progression. Our present review summarizes the alterations in the gut microbiota in patients with AD, the pathogenetic roles and mechanisms of gut microbiota in AD, and gut microbiota–targeted therapies for AD. Understanding the roles and mechanisms between gut microbiota and AD will help decipher the pathogenesis of AD from novel perspectives and shed light on novel therapeutic strategies for AD.

Increasing evidence suggests that gut dysbiosis plays vital roles in a variety of gut–brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, alterations of the gut microbiota as well as their correlations with cognitive scores and host immunity have remained unclear in well-controlled trials on Chinese AD patients. In this study, samples from 100 AD patients, and 71 age- and gender-matched, cognitively normal controls were obtained to explore the structural and functional alterations of the fecal microbiota targeting the V3–V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene by MiSeq sequencing, and to analyze their associations with clinical characteristics. Our data demonstrated a remarkably reduction in the bacterial diversity and alterations in the taxonomic composition of the fecal microbiota of the AD patients. Interestingly, the abundant butyrate-producing genera such as Faecalibacterium decreased significantly, where this was positively correlated with such clinical indicators as the MMSE, WAIS, and Barthel scores in the AD patients. On the contrary, abundant lactate-producing genera, such as Bifidobacterium , increased prominently, and were inversely correlated with these indicators. This shift in the gut dysbiosis of the microbiota, from being butyrate producers to lactate producers, contributed to immune disturbances in the host that could be used as non-invasive biomarkers to distinguish the controls from the AD patients. Moreover, several predicted functional modules, including the biosynthesis and the metabolism of fatty acids, that were altered in the microbiota of the AD patients could be utilized by the bacteria to produce immunomodulatory metabolites. Our study established the structural and functional dysbiosis of fecal microbiota in AD patients, and the results suggest the potential for use of gut bacteria for the early, non-invasive diagnosis of AD, personalized treatment, and the development of tailor-made probiotics designed for Chinese AD patients.
Purpose: To investigate the neuroprotective effect of the natural flavonoid rhoifolin in rats with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced (AD). Methods: Morris water-maze and novel object recognition tests were carried out to estimate the effect of rhoifolin on memory and cognition. Histopathological analysis was made to observe thickness of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal layer. Analysis of oxidative stress markers was performed to estimate the effect of rhoifolin on oxidative stress in the hippocampus and frontal cortex. Results: Morris water maze and novel object recognition tests showed a significant improvement in the memory, cognition and spatial learning in rhoifolin treated AD animals (p < 0.05). Moreover, rhoifolin treatment resulted in a significant increase in the CA1 pyramidal layer of AD animals indicating its neuroprotective properties (p < 0.05). The increase in the hippocampal CA1 area further validated the reversal of cognitive dysfunctions caused by STZ treatment. Furthermore, analysis of oxidative stress markers SOD, CAT, GPX, GRX, and MDA showed a significant improvement in the oxidative stress in the hippocampus and frontal cortex (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The present study is the first report to demonstrate the effect of plant flavonoid, rhoifolin on STZ-induced AD in rat model. Rhoifolin improves spatial learning, cognition, and memory in STZ-treated rat model. Therefore, rhoifolin may be a promising therapeutic agent for the management of AD.
Gut bacterial dysbiosis plays a vital role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, our understanding of alterations to the gut fungal microbiota and their correlations with host immunity in AD is still limited. Samples were obtained from 88 Chinese patients with AD, and 65 age- and gender-matched, cognitively normal controls. Using these samples, we investigated the fungal microbiota targeting internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) rRNA genes using MiSeq sequencing, and analyzed their associations with the host immune response. Our data demonstrated unaltered fungal diversity but altered taxonomic composition of the fecal fungal microbiota in the AD patients. The analysis of the fungal microbiota was performed using 6,585,557 high-quality reads (2,932,482 reads from the controls and 3,653,075 from the AD patients), with an average of 43,042 reads per sample. We found that several key differential fungi such as Candida tropicalis and Schizophyllum commune were enriched in the AD patients, while Rhodotorula mucilaginosa decreased significantly. Interestingly, C. tropicalis and S. commune were positively correlated with IP-10 and TNF-α levels. In contrast, C. tropicalis was negatively correlated with IL-8 and IFN-γ levels, and R. mucilaginosa was negatively correlated with TNF-α level. PiCRUSt analysis revealed that lipoic acid metabolism, starch and sucrose metabolism were significantly decreased in the AD fungal microbiota. This study is the first to demonstrate fecal fungal dysbiosis in stable AD patients at a deeper level, and to identify the key differential fungi involved in regulating host systemic immunity. The analysis of the fungal microbiota in AD performed here may provide novel insights into the etiopathogenesis of AD and pave the way for improved diagnosis and treatment of AD.
