Gut microbiota in alcohol-related liver disease: pathophysiology and gut-brain cross talk.

ABSTRACT: Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) from excessive alcohol intake has a unique gut microbiota profile. The disease progression-free survival in ALD patients has been associated with the degree of gut dysbiosis. The vicious cycles between gut dysbiosis and the disease progression in ALD including: an increase of acetaldehyde production and bile acid secretion, impaired gut barrier, enrichment of circulating microbiota, toxicities of microbiota metabolites, a cascade of pro-inflammatory chemokines or cytokines, and augmentation in the generation of reactive oxygen species. The aforementioned pathophysiology process plays an important role in different disease stages with a spectrum of alcohol hepatitis, ALD cirrhosis, neurological dysfunction, and hepatocellular carcinoma. This review aims to illustrate the pathophysiology of gut microbiota and clarify the gut-brain crosstalk in ALD, which may provide the opportunity of identifying target points for future therapeutic intervention in ALD.

Alcoholic liver disease: the gut microbiome and liver cross talk.

Project description:Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Alcoholic fatty liver disease can progress to steatohepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, fibrosis, and cirrhosis. Patients with alcohol abuse show quantitative and qualitative changes in the composition of the intestinal microbiome. Furthermore, patients with ALD have increased intestinal permeability and elevated systemic levels of gut-derived microbial products. Maintaining eubiosis, stabilizing the mucosal gut barrier, or preventing cellular responses to microbial products protect from experimental ALD. Therefore, intestinal dysbiosis and pathological bacterial translocation appear fundamental for the pathogenesis of ALD. This review highlights causes for intestinal dysbiosis and pathological bacterial translocation, their relationship, and consequences for ALD. We also discuss how the liver affects the intestinal microbiota.

Gut Microbiota as Emerging Players in the Development of Alcohol-Related Liver Disease.

Project description:The global incidence and mortality rates of alcohol-related liver disease are on the rise, reflecting a growing health concern worldwide. Alcohol-related liver disease develops due to a complex interplay of multiple reasons, including oxidative stress generated during the metabolism of ethanol, immune response activated by immunogenic substances, and subsequent inflammatory processes. Recent research highlights the gut microbiota's significant role in the progression of alcohol-related liver disease. In patients with alcohol-related liver disease, the relative abundance of pathogenic bacteria, including Enterococcus faecalis, increases and is positively correlated with the level of severity exhibited by alcohol-related liver disease. Supplement probiotics like Lactobacillus, as well as Bifidobacterium, have been found to alleviate alcohol-related liver disease. The gut microbiota is speculated to trigger specific signaling pathways, influence metabolite profiles, and modulate immune responses in the gut and liver. This research aimed to investigate the role of gut microorganisms in the onset and advancement of alcohol-related liver disease, as well as to uncover the underlying mechanisms by which the gut microbiota may contribute to its development. This review outlines current treatments for reversing gut dysbiosis, including probiotics, fecal microbiota transplantation, and targeted phage therapy. Particularly, targeted therapy will be a vital aspect of future alcohol-related liver disease treatment. It is to be hoped that this article will prove beneficial for the treatment of alcohol-related liver disease.

Gut microbiota in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcohol-related liver disease: Current concepts and perspectives.

Project description:The term, gut-liver axis, is used to highlight the close anatomical and functional relationship between the intestine and the liver. It has been increasingly recognized that the gut-liver axis plays an essential role in the development and progression of liver disease. In particular, in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcohol-related liver disease, the two most common causes of chronic liver disease, a dysbiotic gut microbiota can influence intestinal permeability, allowing some pathogens or bacteria-derived factors from the gut reaching the liver through the enterohepatic circulation contributing to liver injury, steatohepatitis, and fibrosis progression. Pathways involved are multiple, including changes in bile acid metabolism, intestinal ethanol production, generation of short-chain fatty acids, and other by-products. Bile acids act through dedicated bile acid receptors, farnesoid X receptor and TGR5, in both the ileum and the liver, influencing lipid metabolism, inflammation, and fibrogenesis. Currently, both non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcohol-related liver disease lack effective therapies, and therapeutic targeting of gut microbiota and bile acids enterohepatic circulation holds promise. In this review, we summarize current knowledge about the role of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcohol-related liver disease, as well as the relevance of microbiota or bile acid-based approaches in the management of those liver diseases.

Gut non-bacterial microbiota contributing to alcohol-associated liver disease.

Project description:Intestinal microbiota, dominated by bacteria, plays an important role in the occurrence and the development of alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD), which is one of the most common liver diseases around the world. With sufficient studies focusing on the gut bacterial community, chronic alcohol consumption is now known as a key factor that alters the composition of gut bacterial community, increases intestinal permeability, causes intestinal dysfunction, induces bacterial translocation, and exacerbates the process of ALD via gut-liver axis. However, gut non-bacterial communities including fungi, viruses, and archaea, which may also participate in the disease, has received little attention relative to the gut bacterial community. This paper will systematically collect the latest literatures reporting non-bacterial communities in mammalian health and disease, and review their mechanisms in promoting the development of ALD including CLEC7A pathway, Candidalysin (a peptide toxin secreted by Candida albicans), metabolites, and other chemical substances secreted or regulated by gut commensal mycobiome, virome, and archaeome, hoping to bring novel insights on our current knowledge of ALD.

Project description:Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) refers to a spectrum of liver manifestations ranging from fatty liver diseases, steatohepatitis, and fibrosis/cirrhosis with chronic inflammation primarily due to excessive alcohol use. Currently, ALD is considered as one of the most prevalent causes of liver disease-associated mortality worldwide. Although the pathogenesis of ALD has been intensively investigated, the present understanding of its biomarkers in the context of early clinical diagnosis is not complete, and novel therapeutic targets that can significantly alleviate advanced forms of ALD are limited. While alcohol abstinence remains the primary therapeutic intervention for managing ALD, there are currently no approved medications for treating ALD. Furthermore, given the similarities and the differences between ALD and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in terms of disease progression and underlying molecular mechanisms, numerous studies have demonstrated that many therapeutic interventions targeting several signaling pathways, including oxidative stress, inflammatory response, hormonal regulation, and hepatocyte death play a significant role in ALD treatment. Therefore, in this review, we summarized several key molecular targets and their modes of action in ALD progression. We also described the updated therapeutic options for ALD management with a particular emphasis on potentially novel signaling pathways.

The cross talk occurring between bifidobacteria in the mammalian’s gut microbiota [PRL]

Project description:We describe the molecular cross talk established under in vivo conditions between a set of human gut bifidobacterial commensals. Eleven groups of five conventional female 8-wk-old BALB/c mice taking a standard polysaccharide-rich Chow diet were administered a single daily dose of 109 CFU of either B. bifidum PRL2010, B. breve 12L , B. adolescentis 22L , B. longum subsp. infantis ATCC15697, or bifidobacterial couples, i.e., PRL2010-12L, PRL2010-22L, PRL2010-ATCC15696, 12L-22L, 12L-ATCC15697, 22L-ATCC15697, or a combination of all bifidobacterial strains. The transcriptome of bifidobacterial strains under in vivo conditions was analyzed. The transcripts expressed in B. bifidum PRL2010, B. breve 12L, B. adolescentis 22L and B. longum subsp. infantis ATCC15697 were profiled using a custom-made PRL2010-12L-22L-ATCC15697 (multibifido)-array representing 100%, 99%, 96%, 99% of the identified genes of these organisms, respectively.The observed functional changes in the trascriptomes of bifidobacteria might be caused by the possible shifts of the mice cecum microbiota upon colonization with bifidobacteria. Thus, we assessed if the presence of B. bifidum PRL2010, B. breve 12L, B. adolescentis 22L and B. longum subsp. infantis ATCC15697 on mono-, bi- or multi-association in the cecum of mice affects the overall composition of the microbiota of this environment.
