In the present study, we created the weight gain models with Min and Yorkshire pigs and conducted the metagenomics and metabolomics of colon contents and transcriptomics of colon tissue. Further, we revealed the characteristics and functions of the colonic microbiota in Min and Yorkshire pigs and analyzed their interactions with the host. Overall, this

FXR agonists and FGF15 reduce fecal bile acid excretion in a mouse model of bile acid malabsorption
Bile acid malabsorption, which in patients leads to excessive fecal bile acid excretion and diarrhea, is characterized by a vicious cycle in which the feedback regulation of bile acid synthesis is interrupted, resulting in additional bile acid production.

Olfactory sensitivity to bile fluid and bile salts in the European eel (Anguilla anguilla), goldfish (Carassius auratus) and Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) suggests a 'broad range' sensitivity not confined to those produced by conspecifics alone [PDF]
Teleosts have high olfactory sensitivity to bile salts. To assess whether this phenomenon is involved in intra-specific chemical communication alone, or is part of a more ‘broad range’ sensitivity to bile salts produced by heterospecifics, we ...

Tunneling nanotubes facilitate the transfer of long‐chain fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, from tumor cells to macrophages, leading to lipid accumulation and activation of the PI3K‐Akt pathway. This drives a shift from the anti‐tumor CD5L⁺ phenotype to a pro‐tumor TREM2⁺ phenotype.

Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO)-induced atherosclerosis is associated with bile acid metabolism
Background Recently, trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) plasma levels have been proved to be associated with atherosclerosis development. Among the targets aimed to ameliorating atherosclerotic lesions, inducing bile acid synthesis to eliminate excess ...

Modulation of the unfolded protein response by tauroursodeoxycholic acid counteracts apoptotic cell death and fibrosis in a mouse model for secondary biliary liver fibrosis [PDF]
The role of endoplasmic reticulum stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR) in cholestatic liver disease and fibrosis is not fully unraveled. Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), a hydrophilic bile acid, has been shown to reduce endoplasmic reticulum (

This study identifies a super‐enhancer‐driven transcriptional regulatory circuit comprising BCL6, SMAD3, and NFIB that cooperate to drive cholesterol synthesis via SREBF2/HMGCR/FDFT1 activation and regulate CDK2/CCND3 for cell cycle control. Targeting this circuit with BI‐3802 or downstream inhibitors (Fatostatin/Lovastatin) overcomes abiraterone ...

Bile acids cause relaxation of the lower esophageal sphincter through G-protein-coupled bile acid receptors [PDF]
ObjectivesBile acids inhibit contraction of the gallbladder and intestine through the G-protein-coupled bile acid receptor (GPBAR). Perfusion of the esophagus with bile and acid (HCl) decreases lower esophageal sphincter (LES) pressure.
