    Abstract Background: Amyloid-β (Aβ) is important in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Removal of Aβ from the brain is a major strategy for the prevention and treatment of AD.
    Objective: To clarify whether Aβ42 can be cleared by intestinal excretion and whether the gut microbiota (GM) can affect the excretory clearance of Aβ42 in the peripheral blood and intestines.
    Methods: Male 8-month-old C57BL6 mice were maintained on either normal chow or received broad-spectrum antibiotics in their drinking water for one week. Sterile saline, fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), or FITC-Aβ42 (fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled amyloid-β42 peptides) was injected 1 h before sampling. Related changes of Aβ42 before and after injection were evaluated.
    Results: FITC-Aβ42 was injected into mice through the tail vein and could later be detected in feces. Furthermore, the fecal concentrations of FITC-Aβ42 were higher in mice that had been fed antibiotics to alter their GM than in normal mice. However, the FITC-Aβ42 concentrations in blood showed the opposite pattern.
    Conclusion: Aβ42 can be excreted into the intestinal lumen and is regulated by the GM.

    Abstract Gastric cancer represents a significant global health concern, necessitating the exploration of novel therapeutic options. Diosmetin, a natural flavonoid derived from citrus and vegetables, has demonstrated promising anti-tumor activity against various tumor cells. However, the potential anticancer effect of diosmetin in gastric cancer and its underlying mechanism have yet to be elucidated. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of diosmetin on cell proliferation, migration, cell cycle progression and apoptosis in human gastric cancer HGC-27 cells. Our findings revealed that diosmetin effectively suppressed cell proliferation, induced G2/M phase cell cycle arrest, and triggered cell apoptosis. Mechanistically, diosmetin downregulated the expression of antiapoptotic proteins Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL, while upregulated the level of proapoptotic proteins such as Bax, cleaved PARP and cleaved caspase-3. Additionally, diosmetin inhibited Akt and FoxO1 phosphorylation, while activated the MAPK signaling pathway. Notably, pretreatment of IGF-1, an Akt activator, attenuated the diosmetin-induced apoptosis. Furthermore, pretreatment with SP600125, a JNK inhibitor, significantly reduced the protein level of LC3B, while promoted the expression of cleaved caspase-3 and cleaved PARP. Collectively, our results suggest that diosmetin holds promise as an effective therapeutic agent against gastric cancer by inducing apoptosis through inhibition of the Akt/FoxO1 pathway and promoting protective autophagy via the MAPK/JNK signaling pathway.

    Abstract MicroRNA-32 (miR-32) is upregulated in colorectal cancer (CRC) tissues; its overexpression leads to increased cell proliferation, migration and invasion, as well as reduced apoptosis of CRC cells, at least partly by inhibiting the target gene phosphatase and tensin homolog. However, the mechanisms of its upregulation have remained elusive. In the present study, the effects of methylation and acetylation on the expression of miR-32 were investigated. The promoter methylation status of miR-32 in the CRC cell lines HT-29 and HCT-116 and the normal colonic epithelial cell line NCM460 was investigated by bisulfate sequencing polymerase chain reaction (BSP). The potential role of methylation and histone acetylation in the regulation of miR-32 expression in CRC cells was investigated using the demethylation reagent 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-dC), the histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) and transfection of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) overexpression plasmid. BSP revealed that CpG sites in the miR-32 promoter region of CRC and normal colonic epithelial cells were all hypomethylated, with methylation rates of 0.12, 1.14 and 0.64% in HCT-116, HT-29 and NCM460 cells, respectively. Treatment with 5-Aza-dC and/or TSA and transfection with DNMT1 plasmid did not significantly alter the expression of miR-32. Therefore, the present results suggest that methylation and histone acetylation do not affect miR-32 expression in CRC cells.

    Abstract The pathogenesis of colorectal cancer (CRC) is poorly understood. MicroRNA (miR)-32 upregulation in CRC tissues was previously reported, where it increased the proliferation, migration and invasion, and reduced apoptosis of CRC cells by inhibiting the expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN). However, the mechanism underlying miR-32 upregulation remains unknown. miR-32 is an intronic miRNA located within intron 14 of the transmembrane protein 245 gene (TMEM245). The present study aimed to elucidate the biological pathways underlying miR-32 regulation in CRC. A truncated promoter containing the 5'-flanking region of TMEM245/miR-32 gene was constructed. The promoter region was analyzed by dual luciferase reporter assay in CRC cells. DNA pull-down assay and mass spectrometry (MS) were used to identify proteins binding to the core promoter. Gene Ontology (GO), Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) and transcription factor (TF) analyses were used to identify the binding proteins. The -320 to -1 bp fragment of the 5'-flanking region exhibited the highest luciferase activity. The regions spanning -606 to -320 bp exhibited a significant decrease in luciferase activity, compared with the -320 to -1 bp fragment. DNA pull-down assay and MS revealed 403 potential miR-32 promoter binding proteins. GO and KEGG pathway analysis indicated that these proteins were involved in numerous physiological and biochemical processes, including 'structural molecule activity', 'RNA binding', 'small molecule metabolic process' and 'biogenesis'. Furthermore, TF analysis revealed 10 potential interacting TFs, including SMAD family member 1 (SMAD1), signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) and forkhead box K1 (Foxk1). These results suggested that the core promoter region may be located within-320 to -1 bp of the 5'-flanking region of TMEM245/miR-32 gene, while the region from -606 to -320 bp may harbor repressive regulatory elements. The TFs SMAD1, STAT1 and Foxk1 may be involved in the transcriptional regulation of miR-32.

    Abstract BACKGROUND Bifidobacterium is a potentially effective and safe treatment for patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. However, information on the influence of B. bifidum on gut microbial diversity of treated and pretreated IBD patients is limited. MATERIAL AND METHODS Our study investigated therapeutic and preventive effects of B. bifidum ATCC 29521 on C57BL/6 mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced acute colitis via 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (rRNA) gene sequencing. RESULTS Treatment and pretreatment of mice with B. bifidum ATCC 29521 significantly alleviated the severity of acute colitis on the basis of clinical and pathologic indicators. 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that administration of B. bifidum shifted composition of the gut microbiome in mice with DSS-induced colitis in both treated and pretreated groups. Mice pretreated with B. bifidum ATCC 29521 for 21 days exhibited a significant increase in diversity of the gut microbiome. Principal coordinate analysis showed that gut microbiota structure was shaped by different treatments and time points. On the basis of linear discriminant analysis of effect size, the abundance of the genus Escherichia-Shigella, belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae, was reduced in the B. bifidum-treated group, indicating that pathogens were inhibited by the B. bifidum treatment. Furthermore, the genera Intestinimonas and Bacteroides were significantly associated with the B. bifidum-pretreated group. CONCLUSIONS 16S rRNA gene sequencing showed that pretreatment with B. bifidum ATCC 29521 reduced intestinal inflammation and altered the gut microbiota to favor the genera Intestinimonas and Bacteroides.
