Microbiota governs host chenodeoxycholic acid glucuronidation to ameliorate bile acid disorder induced diarrhea by Zishen Lin, Yue Feng, Jinping Wang, Zhaoyue Men, Xi Ma

“…In vitro, important gene involved in the reduction of BA disorder induced-diarrhea were screened by RNA transcriptomics sequencing, and activation pathway of FXR-SIRT1-LKB1 to alleviate BA disorder diarrhea and P53-mediated apoptosis were proposed in vitro by multifarious siRNA interference, CO-IP, immunofluorescence, and so on, which mechanism was also verified in a variety of mouse models. Results Here, we reveal for the first time that core microbiota derived I3C represses gut epithelium glucuronidation, particularly 3β-glucuronic CDCA production, which reaction is mediated by host UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 1 member A4 (UGT1A4) and necessary of BA disorder induced diarrhea. …”
