    Abstract Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most fatal form of brain cancer in humans, with a dismal prognosis and a median overall survival rate of less than 15 months upon diagnosis. Glioma stem cells (GSCs), have recently been identified as key contributors in both tumor initiation and therapeutic resistance in GBM. Both public dataset analysis and direct differentiation experiments on GSCs have demonstrated that CREB5 is more highly expressed in undifferentiated GSCs than in differentiated GSCs. Additionally, gene silencing by short hairpin RNA (shRNA) of CREB5 has prevented the proliferation and self-renewal ability of GSCs in vitro and decreased their tumor forming ability in vivo. Meanwhile, RNA-sequencing, luciferase reporter assay, and ChIP assay have all demonstrated the closely association between CREB5 and OLIG2. These findings suggest that targeting CREB5 could be an effective approach to overcoming GSCs.

    Abstract To date, all species in the genus Salicibibacter have been isolated in Korean commercial kimchi. We aimed to describe the taxonomic characteristics of two strains, NKC5-3ᵀ and NKC21-4ᵀ, isolated from commercial kimchi collected from various regions in the Republic of Korea. Cells of these strains were rod-shaped, Gram-positive, aerobic, oxidase- and catalase-positive, non-motile, halophilic, and alkalitolerant. Both strains, unlike other species of the genus Salicibibacter, could not grow without NaCl. Strains NKC5-3ᵀ and NKC21-4ᵀ could tolerate up to 25.0% (w/v) NaCl (optimum 10%) and grow at pH 7.0–10.0 (optimum 8.5) and 8.0–9.0 (optimum 8.5), respectively; they showed 97.1% 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity to each other and were most closely related to S. kimchii NKC1-1ᵀ (97.0% and 96.8% similarity, respectively). The genome of strain NKC5-3ᵀ was nearly 4.6 Mb in size, with 4,456 protein-coding sequences (CDSs), whereas NKC21-4ᵀ genome was nearly 3.9 Mb in size, with 3,717 CDSs. OrthoANI values between the novel strains and S. kimchii NKC1-1ᵀ were far lower than the species demarcation threshold. NKC5-3ᵀ and NKC21-4ᵀ clustered together to form branches that were distinct from the other Salicibibacter species. The major fatty acids in these strains were anteiso-C₁₅:₀ and anteiso-C₁₇:₀, and the predominant menaquinone was menaquinone-7. The polar lipids of NKC5-3ᵀ included diphosphatidylglycerol (DPG), phosphatidylglycerol (PG), and five unidentified phospholipids (PL), and those of NKC21-4ᵀ included DPG, PG, seven unidentified PLs, and an unidentified lipid. Both isolates had DPG, which is the first case in the genus Salicibibacter. The genomic G + C content of strains NKC5-3ᵀ and NKC21-4ᵀ was 44.7 and 44.9 mol%, respectively. Based on phenotypic, genomic, phylogenetic, and chemotaxonomic analyses, strains NKC5-3ᵀ (= KACC 22040ᵀ = DSM 111417ᵀ) and NKC21-4ᵀ (= KACC 22041ᵀ = DSM 111418ᵀ) represent two novel species of the genus Salicibibacter, for which the names Salicibibacter cibarius sp. nov. and Salicibibacter cibi sp. nov. are proposed.

    Abstract It is increasingly evident that bidirectional interactions exist among the gastrointestinal tract, the enteric nervous system, and the central nervous system. Recent preclinical and clinical trials have shown that gut microbiota plays an important role in these gut-brain interactions. Furthermore, alterations in gut microbiota composition may be associated with pathogenesis of various neurological disorders, including stress, autism, depression, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, the concepts of the microbiota-gut-brain axis is emerging. Here, we review the role of gut microbiota in bidirectional interactions between the gut and the brain, including neural, immune-mediated, and metabolic mechanisms. We highlight recent advances in the understanding of probiotic modulation of neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders via the gut-brain axis.

    Abstract A high-fat diet (HFD) induces low-grade, chronic inflammation throughout the body including the hypothalamus, a key brain region involved in the control of satiety and energy expenditure in central nervous system (CNS). Kimchi is a traditional fermented Korean food, which is recognized as a healthy food. In this study, we evaluated its ability to suppress the obesity-induced inflammation in mice fed an HFD. Male C57BL/6 mice were fed an HFD or HFD with kimchi (pH 5.2 ∼ 5.8). Oral administration of kimchi significantly reduced the body weight, fat mass gain, and levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in serum. Furthermore, kimchi diminished the HFD-induced activation of astrocyte and microglial cells (reactive gliosis, a hallmark of CNS injury and inflammation) in hypothalamus region. IgG accumulation assay showed that kimchi ingestion suppressed HFD-induced breakage of the blood brain barrier (BBB) via upregulating the expression of tight junction molecules in cerebrovascular endothelial cells. In addition, kimchi modulated gut microbiome profiles, which showed an increase in the abundance of Akkermansia muciniphila. Moreover, kimchi enhanced acetate level and BBB integrity in A. muciniphila-colonized gnotobiotic mice. These results suggest that kimchi may exert beneficial effects to prevent and ameliorate obesity and associated neuroinflammation by changing gut microbiota composition and short-chain fatty acids production.

    Abstract White colony-forming yeasts (WCFYs) have been reported to form a white colony on the surface of kimchi, resulting in the deterioration of kimchi sensory quality. However, toxicity of WCFY has rarely been studied. Thus, to evaluate the safety of WCFY (i.e., Kazachstania servazzii, Candia sake, and Pichia kudriavzevii), we conducted cell and animal experiments as well as genomic analysis. In vitro studies indicated that WCFY did not induce cytotoxic responses such as lactate dehydrogenase release, excessive oxidative stress, and mitochondrial damage at concentrations of up to 2.5 × 10⁵ CFU/mL in human intestinal and liver cells. In animal studies using rats (single-dose and 14-day repeated-dose oral toxicity studies), WCFY did not induce death, clinical signs of toxicity, histological alterations of the liver, or increases in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines nor cytochrome P450-2E1 in liver tissue at concentrations of up to 5 × 10⁸ CFU/head/day. Genomic analysis revealed that P. kudriavzevii did not harbor genes related to toxicity and antimicrobial resistance. Taken together, our data suggest that exposure to WCFY through kimchi intake did not induce toxic response in the Caco-2, HepG2, and Sprague-Dawley rats. The current work provides evidence for the safety of accidental major WCFY ingestion via kimchi.
