Functional Medicine 4中新华社深圳10月7日电,深圳湾实验室与中山大学中山医学院合作研究10月7日在线发表于《自然》:肠道共生菌(如脆弱拟杆菌)可自发产生十五烷酸(C15:0),经HMGCR-SREBP2/LDLR通路抑制肝脏胆固醇合成并促进坏胆固醇清除;补充C15:0使动脉粥样硬化小鼠血脂改善、斑块减少,人群样本中血脂异常者该分子水平偏低,为高血脂与心血管代谢防治提供了菌群来源干预的新路径。
ENXinhua reported from Shenzhen that a Shenzhen Bay Laboratory and Sun Yat-sen University team, publishing online in Nature on Oct 7, showed gut commensal bacteria such as Bacteroides uniformis spontaneously produce pentadecanoic acid (C15:0), which suppresses hepatic cholesterol synthesis and promotes LDL clearance via the HMGCR-SREBP2/LDLR axis; C15:0 supplementation improved blood lipids and reduced plaque burden in atherosclerotic mice, and dyslipidemic people showed lower levels, pointing to a microbiome-derived route for cardiometabolic prevention.
中麦克马斯特大学团队发表于《胃肠病学》的研究显示,肠道炎症会破坏负责降解麸质与乳蛋白的特定菌群,使炎症性肠病患者即便处于缓解期也对新触发食物产生免疫反应;104名缓解期患者中约85%自报食物不耐受,远高于健康对照的33%。结肠炎模型中回补缺失菌株可逆转食物特异性免疫反应,为基于菌群的诊断与治疗指路,也提示个体化营养需考虑菌群对食物成分的加工能力。
ENA McMaster University team reports in Gastroenterology that intestinal inflammation disrupts gut bacteria that break down gluten and dairy proteins, explaining why people with inflammatory bowel disease in remission react to once-tolerated foods; about 85 percent of 104 patients reported food intolerances versus 33 percent of controls, and replenishing depleted bacteria reversed food-specific immune reactions in colitis models, informing microbiome-based diagnosis and personalized nutrition.
中热心肠日报10月7日收录:中国医学科学院放射医学研究所樊赛军、路璐团队发表于International Journal of Biological Sciences的研究显示,口服牛磺酸将受照雄鼠生存率从50%提升至91.7%、雌鼠从66.7%升至100%;雄鼠经乳杆菌-精氨酸/脯氨酸代谢轴促黏膜修复,雌鼠依赖雌激素-AICDA-IgA免疫轴;牛磺酸不干扰放疗杀瘤,支持性别分层的放射防护策略。
ENAs covered by Mr-Gut Daily on Oct 7, a Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences team showed in the International Journal of Biological Sciences that oral taurine raised survival of irradiated male mice from 50 to 91.7 percent and females from 66.7 to 100 percent; males were protected through a Ligilactobacillus-arginine/proline metabolic axis while females depended on an estrogen-AICDA-IgA mucosal immune axis abolished by ovariectomy, and taurine did not compromise radiotherapy, supporting sex-stratified radioprotection.
中热心肠日报10月7日解读新研究:借助潘氏细胞特异性剔除小鼠发现,稳态下清除潘氏细胞后隐窝结构、肠道干细胞数量与WNT3表达均完好,提示其功能可被代偿网络覆盖;但致死性辐照后,潘氏细胞作为EGF的首要来源不可替代,补充重组EGF即可完全挽救肠道损伤。而在异基因骨髓移植GVHD模型中,潘氏细胞缺失并未加重病情,颠覆了潘氏细胞丢失驱动GVHD肠道损伤的传统认知。
ENMr-Gut Daily on Oct 7 covered a study using Paneth-cell-deficient mice: under homeostasis, crypt architecture, stem cell pools and WNT3 expression remained intact without Paneth cells, but after lethal irradiation their role as the dominant EGF source became irreplaceable and recombinant EGF fully rescued gut injury; in allogeneic bone marrow transplant models of GVHD, Paneth cell loss did not worsen disease, overturning a long-held assumption.

Longevity Medicine 4中10月7日报道,MRC医学科学实验室、帝国理工学院与科隆大学团队在Aging Cell发表研究:用化合物991直接激活细胞能量传感器AMPK,使裂殖酵母、线虫与果蝇寿命延长、部分实验超25%,且在AMPK功能缺失时效应消失,首次证明直接靶向AMPK可带来长寿获益;处理三周的小鼠肝脏出现促长寿蛋白组模式并抑制mTOR通路。作者提醒过度激活反而缩短寿命,距离人类抗衰应用仍很遥远。
ENReported on Oct 7: a team from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences, Imperial College London and the University of Cologne showed in Aging Cell that directly activating the cellular energy sensor AMPK with compound 991 extended lifespan in fission yeast, nematode worms and fruit flies, by more than 25 percent in some experiments, with the effect vanishing when AMPK was disabled; three-week treatment of mice induced a pro-longevity proteomic profile with mTOR suppression. The authors caution that excess activation shortened life and human translation remains distant.
中NutraIngredients 10月7日报道,一项新研究发现老年人血液中NAD+水平越低,衰弱程度越重,两者呈显著关联。NAD+是细胞能量代谢与DNA修复的关键辅酶,随年龄增长而下降;该结果把NAD+从抗衰营销话题拉回可测量的临床指标层面,提示全血NAD+水平未来或可用于老年衰弱风险分层,也可作为NAD+前体干预试验的响应标志物,但因果关系与临床获益仍需前瞻性研究验证。
ENNutraIngredients reported on Oct 7 that a new study links lower blood NAD+ levels to greater frailty severity in older adults. NAD+, a key coenzyme in cellular energy metabolism and DNA repair that declines with age, may thus serve as a measurable clinical marker for frailty risk stratification and as a response biomarker in NAD+-precursor intervention trials, although causality and clinical benefit still require prospective validation.
中Live Science 10月7日发表深度报道:衰老细胞(俗称僵尸细胞)随年龄在组织中累积并释放促炎因子,而负责清除它们的巨噬细胞功能同步衰退。7月发表于《科学》的小鼠研究发现,老年巨噬细胞EP2受体增多、吞噬衰老细胞能力下降,敲除EP2或阻断其信号可恢复清除功能,改善认知、肌力、心功能与全身炎症;研究者认为焕新免疫系统或比直接杀伤衰老细胞更安全,有望成为senolytics之外的新路径。
ENA Live Science feature published on Oct 7 explains how senescent zombie cells accumulate with age while the macrophages that clear them slow down; a July Science study in mice found aged macrophages overexpress the EP2 receptor, impairing engulfment of senescent cells, and blocking EP2 restored clearance and improved cognition, muscle strength, cardiac function and systemic inflammation, suggesting immune rejuvenation may offer a safer complement to senolytics.
