Comprehensive evaluation of the bactericidal activities of free bile acids in the large intestine of humans and rodents

Journal of Lipid Research, 2017
In addition to functioning as detergents that aid digestion of dietary lipids in the intestine, some bile acids have been shown to exhibit antimicrobial activity.

Treatment of intractable pruritus in patients with cholestasis with molecular adsorbents recirculating system dialysis: a case series

Gastroenterology Review, 2021
Pruritus commonly occurs in patients with cholestatic liver diseases. Pruritus that is refractory to pharmacological treatment may be an indication for liver transplantation [1–3]. Pathogenesis of hepatic pruritus is still not fully understood.

Role of Tunneling Nanotubes in Arachidonic Acid Transfer and Macrophage Function Reprogramming in Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
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.

Bile salts of vertebrates: structural variation and possible evolutionary significance[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010
Biliary bile salt composition of 677 vertebrate species (103 fish, 130 reptiles, 271 birds, 173 mammals) was determined. Bile salts were of three types: C27 bile alcohols, C27 bile acids, or C24 bile acids, with default hydroxylation at C-3 and C-7.

Ligilactobacillus Murinus and Lactobacillus Johnsonii Suppress Macrophage Pyroptosis in Atherosclerosis through Butyrate‐GPR109A‐GSDMD Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Oral aspirin administration induces intestinal expansion of Lactobacillus murinus and Lactobacillus johnsonii, which suppresses the progression of atherosclerosis. This microbial expansion significantly enhances butyrate production by providing lactate as a metabolic substrate, thereby fostering the growth of butyrate‐producing bacteria. Butyrate plays

RSPO2 Coordinates with GDF9:BMP15 Heterodimers to Promote Granulosa Cell and Oocyte Development in Mice

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
RSPO2 and GDF9:BMP15 heterodimers—core components of oocyte‐secreted factors (OSFs)—coordinate to shape the molecular architecture of preantral granulosa cells via gene‐specific synergistic and antagonistic regulation, mediated through CTNNB1–SMAD2 signaling crosstalk.

A fast and simple ion-pair high performance liquid chromatography method for analysis of primary bile salts in in vitro digested bean samples

MethodsX, 2021
Bile salts (BS) play a key role in cholesterol and lipid metabolism as well as in many other key metabolic pathways. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is the most common technique used to analyze BS in diverse type of samples.

Bile acids in xenogeneic ex-vivo liver perfusion: function of xenoperfused livers and compatibility with human bile salts and porcine livers.

Transplantation, 1999
BACKGROUND In recent years, hepatic support systems using xenogeneic cells have been developed to support patients in fulminant hepatic failure. The extent to which xenogeneic hepatocytes metabolize and excrete human organic anions is unclear.

Targeted Intervention Strategies for Maternal–Offspring Transmission of Christensenellaceae in Pigs via a Deep Learning Model

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study deciphers maternal‐driven microbial transmission in pigs using a deep learning model (maternal–offspring microbial transmission model), identifying Christensenellaceae R‐7 group as a key transmitted taxon. Filtered galacto‐oligosaccharides‐targeted Christensenellaceae R‐7 group alters offspring microbial functions via maternal ...

Quantitative estimation of the hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance of mixed bile salt solutions.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1989
This paper describes the derivation of a bile salt monomeric hydrophobicity index that quantitatively defines the composite hydrophilic-hydrophobic balance of a mixture of bile salts.
