          Abstract

          Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are ubiquitous microorganisms that can colonize the intestine and participate in the physiological metabolism of the host. LAB can produce a variety of metabolites, including organic acids, bacteriocin, amino acids, exopolysaccharides and vitamins. These metabolites are the basis of LAB function and have a profound impact on host health. The intestine is colonized by a large number of gut microorganisms with high species diversity. Metabolites of LAB can keep the balance and stability of gut microbiota through aiding in the maintenance of the intestinal epithelial barrier, resisting to pathogens and regulating immune responses, which further influence the nutrition, metabolism and behavior of the host. In this review, we summarize the metabolites of LAB and their influence on the intestine. We also discuss the underlying regulatory mechanisms and emphasize the link between LAB and the human gut from the perspective of health promotion.

          Diversity of the human intestinal microbial flora.

          The human endogenous intestinal microflora is an essential "organ" in providing nourishment, regulating epithelial development, and instructing innate immunity; yet, surprisingly, basic features remain poorly described. We examined 13,355 prokaryotic ribosomal RNA gene sequences from multiple colonic mucosal sites and feces of healthy subjects to improve our understanding of gut microbial diversity. A majority of the bacterial sequences corresponded to uncultivated species and novel microorganisms. We discovered significant intersubject variability and differences between stool and mucosa community composition. Characterization of this immensely diverse ecosystem is the first step in elucidating its role in health and disease.

            Metabolic regulation of gene expression by histone lactylation

            The Warburg effect, originally describing augmented lactogenesis in cancer, is associated with diverse cellular processes such as angiogenesis, hypoxia, macrophage polarization, and T-cell activation. This phenomenon is intimately linked with multiple diseases including neoplasia, sepsis, and autoimmune diseases 1,2 . Lactate, a compound generated during Warburg effect, is widely known as an energy source and metabolic byproduct. However, its non-metabolic functions in physiology and disease remain unknown. Here we report lactate-derived histone lysine lactylation as a new epigenetic modification and demonstrate that histone lactylation directly stimulates gene transcription from chromatin. In total, we identify 28 lactylation sites on core histones in human and mouse cells. Hypoxia and bacterial challenges induce production of lactate through glycolysis that in turn serves as precursor for stimulating histone lactylation. Using bacterially exposed M1 macrophages as a model system, we demonstrate that histone lactylation has different temporal dynamics from acetylation. In the late phase of M1 macrophage polarization, elevated histone lactylation induces homeostatic genes involved in wound healing including arginase 1. Collectively, our results suggest the presence of an endogenous “lactate clock” in bacterially challenged M1 macrophages that turns on gene expression to promote homeostasis. Histone lactylation thus represents a new avenue for understanding the functions of lactate and its role in diverse pathophysiological conditions, including infection and cancer.

              The gut microbiota, bacterial metabolites and colorectal cancer.

              Accumulating evidence suggests that the human intestinal microbiota contributes to the aetiology of colorectal cancer (CRC), not only via the pro-carcinogenic activities of specific pathogens but also via the influence of the wider microbial community, particularly its metabolome. Recent data have shown that the short-chain fatty acids acetate, propionate and butyrate function in the suppression of inflammation and cancer, whereas other microbial metabolites, such as secondary bile acids, promote carcinogenesis. In this Review, we discuss the relationship between diet, microbial metabolism and CRC and argue that the cumulative effects of microbial metabolites should be considered in order to better predict and prevent cancer progression.
