    Abstract Starch nanoparticles (SNPs) have the capability to adsorb polyphenol components from apple pomace efficiently, forming bound polyphenols (P-SNPs). These bound polyphenols may have potential bioactivities to affect human health positively. Therefore, in-depth in vivo observation of the antioxidant activity and evaluation of its gut microbiota regulatory function are essential. The results revealed that P-SNPs indicated significant scavenging abilities against DPPH, ABTS, and hydroxyl radicals. Furthermore, the nanomaterials exhibited non-toxic properties, devoid of hepatorenal and intestinal damage, while concurrently stimulating the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) within the gastrointestinal tract. Notably, P-SNPs significantly enhanced antioxidant capacity in serum, liver, and kidney tissues, fostering the proliferation of beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus, Bacillus, norank_f__Muribaculaceae) while suppressing pathogenic bacterial growth (Helicobacter, Odoribacter). This study proposes a novel research concept for the scientific use of polyphenols in promoting gut health.

    Abstract Oral probiotic therapy has become an increasingly attractive method for treating various diseases, including intestinal barrier dysfunction, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and colorectal cancer due to its safety and convenience. However, only a few probiotics after oral gavage can survive the acidic and bile salt conditions of the gastrointestinal tract and colonize the colon to have a nutritional effect on the host. To address these challenges, encapsulation technology has been applied to protect probiotics from harsh gastrointestinal conditions, improve gut adhesion, and reduce immunogenicity. In addition, some of the functional polysaccharides are used to endow probiotics with exogenous functions as prebiotics. In this review, we systematically introduced the advancements of emerging single-cell modification strategies for probiotics in IBD applications. Additionally, we discussed the limitations and perspectives of single-cell modification strategies for probiotics. This review contributed to the development of probiotic delivery systems with higher therapeutic efficacy against colitis.

    Abstract Gut microbes and microbial metabolites derived from polysaccharides mediate beneficial effects related to polysaccharides consumption. Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) is the main bioactive components in L. barbarum fruits and possesses considerable health-promoting effects. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether LBP supplementation influenced host metabolic responses and gut microbiota in healthy mice, and to identify bacterial taxa associated with the observed beneficial effects. Our results indicated that mice supplied with LBP at 200 mg/kg BW showed lower serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and liver TG levels. LBP supplementation strengthened the antioxidant capacity of liver, supported the growth of Lactobacillus and Lactococcus, and stimulated short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production. Serum metabolomic analysis revealed that fatty acid degradation pathways were enriched, and RT-PCR further confirmed that LBP up-regulated the expression of liver genes involved in fatty acid oxidation. The Spearman’s correlation analysis indicated that some serum and liver lipid profiles and hepatic SOD activity were associated with Lactobacillus, Lactococcus, Ruminococcus, Allobaculum and AF12. Collectively, these findings provide new evidence for the potential preventive effect of LBP consumption on hyperlipidemia and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

    Abstract Background: Auricularia auricula is rich in bioactive components, and microbial fermentation can further dramatically increase its content and bioavailability. However, there are few studies on the relationship between fermented A. auricula pulp (FAAP) and gut microbiota. In this study, standard strains Lactobacillus plantarum 21801 and 21805 purchased from the China Center of Industrial Culture Collection were used to ferment A. auricula pulp at a ratio of 2:1, with an inoculum of 5%, a fermentation temperature of 31 °C, and a fermentation time of 22 h. The nutritional properties, aroma, and color of FAAP and their effects on the body characteristics of mice and the structure and abundance of gut microbiota are discussed.
    Results: The results showed that, compared with A. auricula pulp, FAAP significantly increased the nutritional properties while maintaining favorable sensory quality and flavor profiles. Among them, the content of total polyphenols and total flavonoids reached 22.04 μg mL
    Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that FAAP is rich in nutrients and has unique functional properties that promote host health and regulate the gut microbiota. © 2023 Society of Chemical Industry.

    Abstract Apple polyphenols are abundantly present in apple pomace, and their applications are limited by the low efficiency of traditional extraction methods and the tendency to pollute the environment. Starch nanoparticles (SNPs) have received much attention due to their renewable, low cost and biocompatibility. The aim of this study was to prepare SNPs of different sizes from corn starch using ultrasonic-assisted chemical precipitation with adsorption of apple polyphenols, investigate the relationship between particle size and adsorption, while experiments were performed to assess antioxidant activity, simulate in vivo digestion and polyphenol release. The results showed that the smaller the particle size of SNPs the higher the adsorption of polyphenols, and the combination of characterization and adsorption kinetics showed that this adsorption was a physicochemical binding process. DPPH radical scavenging activity showed that polyphenols bound to SNPs were more stable than free polyphenols. In vitro simulation of digestion and release processes, SNPs loaded with polyphenols showed better anti-digestive properties, polyphenols are released in small amounts in gastric juices and continuously in intestinal juices. Our results provide a theoretical basis for the direct separation of polyphenols from fruit pomace polyphenol extracts using nanomaterials and the industrial utilization of polyphenol products.

    Abstract Background: Diabetic skin ulcers, a significant global healthcare burden, are mainly caused by the inhibition of cell proliferation and impaired angiogenesis. XB130 is an adaptor protein that regulates cell proliferation and migration. However, the role of XB130 in the development of diabetic skin ulcers remains unclear.
    Aim: To investigate whether XB130 can regulate the inhibition of proliferation and vascular damage induced by high glucose. Additionally, we aim to determine whether XB130 is involved in the healing process of diabetic skin ulcers, along with its molecular mechanisms.
    Methods: We conducted RNA-sequencing analysis to identify the key genes involved in diabetic skin ulcers. We investigated the effects of XB130 on wound healing using histological analyses. In addition, we used reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction, Western blot, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling staining, immunofluorescence, wound healing, and tubule formation experiments to investigate their effects on cellular processes in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) stimulated with high glucose. Finally, we performed functional analysis to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying diabetic skin ulcers.
    Results: RNA-sequencing analysis showed that the expression of XB130 was up-regulated in the tissues of diabetic skin ulcers. Knockdown of XB130 promoted the healing of skin wounds in mice, leading to an accelerated wound healing process and shortened wound healing time. At the cellular level, knockdown of XB130 alleviated high glucose-induced inhibition of cell proliferation and angiogenic impairment in HUVECs. Inhibition of the PI3K/Akt pathway removed the proliferative effects and endothelial protection mediated by XB130.
    Conclusion: The findings of this study indicated that the expression of XB130 is up-regulated in high glucose-stimulated diabetic skin ulcers and HUVECs. Knockdown of XB130 promotes cell proliferation and angiogenesis
