Microbiota Imbalance Contributes to COPD Deterioration by Enhancing IL-17a Production via miR-122 and miR-30a

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2020
The changes of microbiota in lungs could change interleukin-17a (IL-17a) expression by altering microRNAs (miRNAs) profile, thus contributing to the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Natural Enzyme‐Loaded Polymeric Stealth Coating‐Armed Engineered Probiotics by Disrupting Tumor Lactate Homeostasis to Synergistic Metabolism‐Immuno‐Enzyme Dynamic Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Engineered Lactobacillus acidophilus (LH@LA) is developed via in situ polymerization to co‐load lactate oxidase (LOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). This system preserves LA activity, evades macrophage phagocytosis, and synergizes LA metabolism with enzyme cascades to enhance immunity, reduce tumor ATP, suppress PD‐L1 expression and AKT‐mTOR ...

Engineered Probiotics Mitigate Gut Barrier Dysfunction Induced by Nanoplastics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Intestinal barrier stability is vital for gut health. Plastic polyethylene terephthalate (PET) disrupts this barrier, causing inflammation and infections. This study encodes transforming growth factor‐β into EcN and modifies its surface with pH‐responsive polymer (EcNT@L), creating an oral drug delivery system to repair nano PET‐induced intestinal ...

Flavonifractor Plautii or Its Metabolite Desaminotyrosine as Prophylactic Agents for Alleviating Myocardial Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome is a potential target for treating cardiovascular disease. It is found that prophylactic administration of Flavonifractor plautii or its metabolite desaminotyrosine (DAT) exerts pleiotropic cardioprotective effects via promoting cardiomyocyte survival and attenuating cardiac inflammation against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R ...

β-Galactosidase from strains isolated from breast milk and infant saliva: characterization and participation in absorption of different oligosaccharides

Journal of BioScience and Biotechnology, 2019
Lactobacillus are Gram-positive anaerobic bacteria that naturally occur in the human intestinal tract. They are considered to be beneficial commensals for human health because they prevent the growth of pathogenic bacteria by lowering the intestinal pH ...
