Mechanisms of Diabetes Improvement Following Bariatric/Metabolic Surgery

TL;DR: Embracing this approach through the application of detailed phenotyping, genomics, metabolomics, and gut microbiome studies will enhance the understanding of metabolic regulation and help identify novel therapeutic targets.

Metabolite-Sensing G Protein-Coupled Receptors-Facilitators of Diet-Related Immune Regulation.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the host responds to deficiency (or sufficiency) of dietary and bacterial metabolites in a dynamic way, to optimize responses and survival and contribute to human diseases such as asthma, food allergies, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, hepatic steatosis, cardiovascular disease, and inflammatory bowel diseases.

Emerging roles of bile acids in mucosal immunity and inflammation.

TL;DR: The three-dimensional interplay between bile acids, the microbiota, and the mucosal immune system is discussed, focusing on the mechanisms that regulate intestinal homeostasis and inflammation.

Dysbiosis of gut microbiota in promoting the development of colorectal cancer

TL;DR: This review summarizes current studies regarding the association between gastrointestinal microbiota and the development of CRC, which provides insights into the therapeutic strategy of CRC.

A selective gut bacterial bile salt hydrolase alters host metabolism

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that metabolites generated by a single microbial gene and enzymatic activity can profoundly alter host metabolism and gene expression at local and organism-level scales.

Cancer incidence and mortality worldwide: sources, methods and major patterns in GLOBOCAN 2012.

TL;DR: The GLOBOCAN series of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as mentioned in this paper provides estimates of the worldwide incidence and mortality from 27 major cancers and for all cancers combined for 2012.

Identification of a Nuclear Receptor for Bile Acids

TL;DR: Results presented here show that bile acids are physiological ligands for the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), an orphan nuclear receptor, which demonstrates a mechanism by which bile acid transcriptionally regulate their biosynthesis and enterohepatic transport.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bile salt biotransformations by human intestinal bacteria.

TL;DR: The potential exists for altering the bile acid pool by targeting key enzymes in the 7α/β-dehydroxylation pathway through the development of pharmaceuticals or sequestering bile acids biologically in probiotic bacteria, which may result in their effective removal from the host after excretion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bile Acids: Natural Ligands for an Orphan Nuclear Receptor

TL;DR: Results provide evidence for a nuclear bile acid signaling pathway that may regulate cholesterol homeostasis and modulated interaction of FXR with a peptide derived from steroid receptor coactivator 1.

A Regulatory Cascade of the Nuclear Receptors FXR, SHP-1, and LRH-1 Represses Bile Acid Biosynthesis

TL;DR: A potent, nonsteroidal FXR ligand is used to show that FXR induces expression of small heterodimer partner 1 (SHP-1), an atypical member of the nuclear receptor family that lacks a DNA-binding domain that provides a molecular basis for the coordinate suppression of CYP7A1 and other genes involved in bile acid biosynthesis.
