Biogeography and biochemistry of bile acid 7-dehydroxylation in the mammalian gut

Solenne Anne Marie Marion

Bile acids (BAs) are small molecules synthesized by the host and chemically modified by the microorganisms inhabiting the intestinal tract. The microbial transformation of BAs in the gut is critical to BA-mediated signaling as it modifies their amount and ...

Biogeography of microbial bile acid transformations along the murine gut

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Laure Menin, Solenne Anne Marie Marion, Lyne Desharnais

Bile acids, which are synthesized from cholesterol by the liver, are chemically transformed along the intestinal tract by the gut microbiota, and the products of these transformations signal through host receptors, affecting overall host health. These tran ...

Bile Acids Signal via TGR5 to Activate Intestinal Stem Cells and Epithelial Regeneration

Kristina Schoonjans, Alessia Perino, Maroun Bou Sleiman, Giovanni Sorrentino, Ece Yildiz, Gaby El Alam

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Renewal and patterning of the intestinal epithelium is coordinated by intestinal stem cells (ISCs); dietary and metabolic factors provide signals to the niche that control ISC activity. Bile acids (BAs), metabolites in the gut, signal nu ...

Bioavailability of steroid hormones sorbed on microplastics for aquatic organisms through biological fluids

Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Thibault Béranger Masset, Cécilia Laetitia Carla Siri, Yang Liu

Many studies have reported that hydrophobic organic contaminants have the ability to sorb on microplastics in aquatic ecosystem via different mechanisms of sorption. However, a lack of studies investigating desorption of such contaminants in organism fluid ...

Multicenter analysis of sputum microbiota in tuberculosis patients

Stewart Cole, Jacques Rougemont, Marion Leleu, Claudia Sala, Andrej Benjak, Philippe Busso

The impact of tuberculosis and of anti-tuberculosis therapy on composition and modification of human lung microbiota has been the object of several investigations. However, no clear outcome has been presented so far and the relationship betweenM.tuberculos ...

Calorie restriction slows age-related microbiota changes in an Alzheimer's disease model in female mice

Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects an estimated 5.8 million Americans, and advanced age is the greatest risk factor. AD patients have altered intestinal microbiota. Accordingly, depleting intestinal microbiota in AD animal models reduces amyloid-beta (A beta ...
