New bitongling regulates gut microbiota to predict angiogenesis in rheumatoid arthritis via the gut-joint axis: a deep neural network approach by Yin Guan, Xiaoqian Zhao, Yun Lu, Yue Zhang, Yan Lu, Yue Wang

“…Recent research indicates that gut microbiota might be pivotal in RA development through the “gut-joint axis,” presenting novel therapeutic possibilities.PurposeThis study seeks to explore the therapeutic potential of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) compound new bitongling (NBTL) for RA, with an emphasis on its capacity to regulate gut microbiota and suppress angiogenesis via the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway.MethodsWe utilized a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat model to assess the impact of NBTL. The study employed 16S ribosomal DNA (16S rDNA) sequencing to analyze gut microbiota composition, machine learning techniques to identify characteristic microbial taxa, and transcriptomic analysis (GSVA) to assess the impact on the VEGF signaling pathway. …”
