[PMID: 38338577 PMCID: PMC10855611 DOI: 10.3390/foods13030442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2023] [Revised: 01/22/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024] Open
Abstract
In addition to providing certain health advantages to the host, a bacterial strain must possess a clearly defined safety profile to be regarded as a probiotic. In this study, we present a thorough and methodical assessment of the safety of a novel strain of bacteria, Akkermansia muciniphila PROBIO, which was isolated from human feces. Firstly, we examined the strain's overall features, such as its gastrointestinal tolerance and its physiological and biochemical traits. Next, we verified its genotoxic properties through bacterial reverse mutation and in vitro mammalian cell micronucleus assays. The drug sensitivity of A. muciniphila PROBIO was subsequently examined through an analysis of its antibiotic resistance genes. Additionally, the toxicological impact was verified through acute and sub-chronic toxicity studies. A genome-based safety assessment was conducted to gain further insights into gene function, including potential virulence factors and pathogenic properties. Finally, we assessed whether moxifloxacin resistance in A. muciniphila PROBIO is transferred using in vitro conjugation experiments. A. muciniphila PROBIO exhibited superior gastrointestinal tolerance, with no observed hematological or histopathological abnormalities. Moreover, the outcomes pertaining to mutagenic, clastogenic, or toxic impacts were found to be negative, even at exceedingly high dosages. Moreover, no adverse effects associated with the test substance were observed during the examination of acute and sub-chronic toxicity. Consequently, it was plausible to estimate the no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL) to be 6.4 × 1011 viable bacteria for an average individual weighing 70 kg. Additionally, only three potential drug resistance genes and one virulence factor gene were annotated. A. muciniphila PROBIO is naturally resistant to moxifloxacin, and resistance does not transfer. Collectively, the data presented herein substantiate the presumed safety of A. muciniphila PROBIO for its application in food.

Fukuokaya W, Mori K, Yanagisawa T, Akazawa K, Shimomura T, Kimura T. Association between concomitant proton pump inhibitor use and survival of patients with metastatic prostate cancer receiving abiraterone acetate: a post-hoc analysis of pooled data from three randomized controlled trials. Prostate Cancer Prostatic Dis 2023:10.1038/s41391-023-00695-x. [PMID: 37464102 DOI: 10.1038/s41391-023-00695-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2023] [Revised: 06/09/2023] [Accepted: 07/05/2023] [Indexed: 07/20/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence suggests proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use may attenuate the effect of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone (AAP) in metastatic prostate cancer via the modification of gut microbiota. This study aimed to examine whether concomitant PPI use is associated with survival in patients with metastatic prostate cancer treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and AAP. METHODS Post-hoc analysis was conducted in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) treated in the LATITUDE, COU-AA-301, and COU-AA-302 trials (ADT vs. ADT plus AAP). PPI users and non-users were compared for restricted mean overall survival time (RMOST) and restricted mean progression-free survival time (RMPFST) based on inverse probability of treatment weight (IPTW)-adjusted Kaplan-Meier curves. IPTW-adjusted Cox regression models were used to assess heterogeneity of treatment effect. RESULTS In patients treated with AAP, PPI use was associated with inferior RMOST [difference (95% confidence interval): -4.2 (-7.0 to -1.4)] and RMPFST [-3.5 (-6.6 to -0.4)] compared with non-users. However, RMOST and RMPFST were similar between PPI users and non-users in patients treated with ADT alone [RMOST, -2.6 (-5.8 to 0.6); RMPFST, -1.7 (-4.8 to 1.4)]. Interaction term analyses did not show evidence of heterogeneity in treatment effect between AAP and ADT, despite the prominent treatment effect shown in mCSPC vs. mCRPC. CONCLUSIONS PPI use may be associated with inferior survival in patients with metastatic prostate cancer who receive ADT plus AAP. Discontinuing unnecessary PPI use might improve those outcomes.

Abstract
Due to its physiological benefits from in vitro and in vivo points of view, Akkermansia muciniphila, a common colonizer in the human gut mucous layer, has consistently been identified as an option for the next-generation probiotic. A. muciniphila is a significant bacterium that promotes host physiology. However, it also has a great deal of potential to become a probiotic due to its physiological advantages in a variety of therapeutic circumstances. Therefore, it can be established that the abundance of A. muciniphila in the gut environment, which is controlled by many genetic and dietary variables, is related to the biological behaviors of the intestinal microbiota and gut dysbiosis/eubiosis circumstances. Before A. muciniphila is widely utilized as a next-generation probiotic, regulatory obstacles, the necessity for significant clinical trials, and the sustainability of manufacturing must be eliminated. In this review, the outcomes of recent experimental and clinical reports are comprehensively reviewed, and common colonization patterns, main factors involved in the colonization of A. muciniphila in the gut milieu, their functional mechanisms in establishing homeostasis in the metabolic and energy pathways, the promising delivery role of microencapsulation, potential genetic engineering strategies, and eventually safety issues of A. muciniphila have been discussed.

Abstract
As pharmacology and science progress, we discover new generations of medicines. This relationship is a response to the increasing demand for medicaments and is powered by progress in medicine and research about the respective entities. However, we have questions about the efficiency of pharmacotherapy in individual groups of patients. The effectiveness of therapy is controlled by many variables, such as genetic predisposition, age, sex and diet. Therefore, we must also pay attention to the microbiota, which fulfill a lot of functions in the human body. Drugs used in psychiatry, gastroenterology, diabetology and other fields of medicine have been demonstrated to possess much potential to change the composition and probably the function of the intestinal microbiota, which consequently creates long-term risks of developing chronic diseases. The article describes the amazing interactions between gut microbes and drugs currently used in healthcare.

Abstract
Childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer with survival exceeding 90% for standard-risk groups. A debilitating side-effect of treatment is the development of overweight/obesity (OW/OB), which develops in approximately 40% of children by the end of treatment. The microbiome has been associated with the development of OW/OB. We examined fluctuations in the microbiome with the development of OW/OB during the first six months of treatment at diagnosis, and two subsequent timepoints (N = 62). Shotgun metagenomic sequencing was performed on Illumina Nextseq system, and taxa and functional pathways were extracted from sequences using kraken2 and humann2, respectively. An association of increased presence of several species (e.g., Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli) was observed in children with OW/OB, while lean-promoting species (Veillonella, Haemophilus, and Akkermansia) were increased in children who maintained a normal weight. Pathway analysis revealed purine nucleotide biosynthesis, sugar nucleotide biosynthesis, and enzyme cofactor biosynthesis were positively correlated with Bacteroides spp. among children with OW/OB. We identified several taxa and functional pathways that may confer increased risk for the development of OW/OB. The associations observed in this pilot are preliminary and warrant further research in the microbiome and the development of OW/OB in childhood ALL.

Abstract
Introduction Gut microbiota can significantly affect the effectiveness of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in cancer patients. Recently, antibiotics were shown to decrease survival rate of patients treated by ICIs. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) can indeed modulate microbiota's diversity, therefore altering ICIs response. A meta-analysis was performed based on published data to verify this hypothesis. Methods In this study, over 41 publications, exploring the impact of concomitant PPI treatment on outcomes of ICI-treated patients, were analyzed. Evaluated endpoints were overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Pooled hazard ratios (HRs) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) were reported in ICIs in PPI users versus non-PPI users. Subgroup analyses were performed to minimize the impact of study heterogeneity and to investigate the influence of PPI on the different groups of interest. There was no evidence of publication bias for OS and PFS analysis in subgroup analysis. Results Forty-one studies were included in the meta-analysis, including a total of 20,042 patients. OS of patients receiving ICIs was negatively correlated in patients concomitantly treated with PPI (HR=1.37; 95%CI, 1.23-1.52). PFS of cancer patients receiving ICIs was also negatively correlated with PPI treatment (HR=1.28; 95%CI, 1.15-1.42). PPI and ICI use was associated with worst OS and PFS not only for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or urothelial cancer patients but also for patients treated with anti PD-1 (OS) and anti PD-L1 (OS and PFS) immunotherapies when administered in non-first line and when PPI was received as baseline treatment or in 60 days before ICI initiation. PPI and ICI use also showed the worst OS and PFS for patients from Europe and Asia. Conclusion This meta-analysis suggests that PPI treatment leads to significantly worse outcomes in advanced cancer patients treated by ICIs in terms of PFS and OS.

Association of proton pump inhibitor use with survival outcomes in cancer patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Ther Adv Med Oncol 2022; 14:17588359221111703. [PMID: 35860836 PMCID: PMC9290095 DOI: 10.1177/17588359221111703] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2022] [Accepted: 06/15/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been shown to regulate the gut microbiome and affect the response to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Contradictory results on survival have been observed in patients concomitantly treated with ICIs and PPIs. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the association between PPI use and survival outcomes in ICI-treated cancer patients. Methods: EMBASE, MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane Library databases, and major oncology conference proceedings were searched. Studies comparing overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) between PPI-treated and PPI-free groups of ICI-treated cancer patients were included. Data regarding study and patient characteristics, ICI and PPI treatments, and survival outcomes were extracted. Hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were pooled using random effects models. Subgroup meta-analyses and meta-regressions were performed to explore possible factors of heterogeneity among the studies. Results: A total of 33 studies were included, comprising 7383 ICI- and PPI-treated patients and 8574 ICI-treated and PPI-free patients. The pooled HR was 1.31 (95% CI, 1.19–1.44; p < 0.001) for OS and 1.30 (95% CI, 1.17–1.46; p < 0.001) for PFS, indicating a significant negative association between PPI use and survival in ICI-treated patients. Subgroup meta-analyses by factors including cancer type, ICI type, and time window of PPI use revealed that ICI and PPI use impacted survival in patients with non-small cell lung or urothelial cancer, patients treated with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies, and patients receiving PPI as baseline treatment or 60 days before ICI treatment initiation. Conclusions: PPI use in patients treated with ICIs was associated with shorter OS and PFS, especially in several specific subgroups of cancer patients. PPIs should be strictly controlled and appear to not impact survival if given temporarily after ICI initiation. These observations could provide the basis for clinical guidelines for concomitant PPI and ICI use.

Abstract
Intestinal homeostasis is a dynamic balance involving the interaction between the host intestinal mucosa, immune barrier, intestinal microecology, nutrients, and metabolites. Once homeostasis is out of balance, it will increase the risk of intestinal diseases and is also closely associated with some systemic diseases. Probiotics (Escherichia coli Nissle 1917, Akkermansia muciniphila, Clostridium butyricum, lactic acid bacteria and Bifidobacterium spp.), maintaining the gut homeostasis through direct interaction with the intestine, can also exist as a specific agent to prevent, alleviate, or cure intestinal-related diseases. With genetic engineering technology advancing, probiotics can also show targeted therapeutic properties. The aims of this review are to summarize the roles of potential native and engineered probiotics in oncology, inflammatory bowel disease, and obesity, discussing the therapeutic applications of these probiotics.

Abstract
Whether the gut microbiome in obesity is characterized by lower diversity and altered composition at the phylum or genus level may be more accurately investigated using high-throughput sequencing technologies. We conducted a systematic review in PubMed and Embase including 32 cross-sectional studies assessing the gut microbiome composition by high-throughput sequencing in obese and non-obese adults. A significantly lower alpha diversity (Shannon index) in obese versus non-obese adults was observed in nine out of 22 studies, and meta-analysis of seven studies revealed a non-significant mean difference (−0.06, 95% CI −0.24, 0.12, I2 = 81%). At the phylum level, significantly more Firmicutes and fewer Bacteroidetes in obese versus non-obese adults were observed in six out of seventeen, and in four out of eighteen studies, respectively. Meta-analyses of six studies revealed significantly higher Firmicutes (5.50, 95% 0.27, 10.73, I2 = 81%) and non-significantly lower Bacteroidetes (−4.79, 95% CI −10.77, 1.20, I2 = 86%). At the genus level, lower relative proportions of Bifidobacterium and Eggerthella and higher Acidaminococcus, Anaerococcus, Catenibacterium, Dialister, Dorea, Escherichia-Shigella, Eubacterium, Fusobacterium, Megasphera, Prevotella, Roseburia, Streptococcus, and Sutterella were found in obese versus non-obese adults. Although a proportion of studies found lower diversity and differences in gut microbiome composition in obese versus non-obese adults, the observed heterogeneity across studies precludes clear answers.

Hagi T, Belzer C. The interaction of Akkermansia muciniphila with host-derived substances, bacteria and diets. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 105:4833-4841. [PMID: 34125276 PMCID: PMC8236039 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-021-11362-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/18/2021] [Revised: 05/11/2021] [Accepted: 05/20/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Abstract Trillions of microbes inhabit the human gut and build extremely complex communities. Gut microbes contribute to host metabolisms for better or worse and are widely studied and associated with health and disease. Akkermansia muciniphila is a gut microbiota member, which uses mucin as both carbon and nitrogen sources. Many studies on A. muciniphila have been conducted since this unique bacterium was first described in 2004. A. muciniphila can play an important role in our health because of its beneficial effects, such as improving type II diabetes and obesity and anti-inflammation. A. muciniphila establishes its position as a next-generation probiotic. Besides the effect of A. muciniphila on host health, a technique for boosting has been investigated. In this review, we show what factors can modulate the abundance of A. muciniphila focusing on the interaction with host-derived substances, other bacteria and diets. This review also refers to the possibility of the interaction between medicine and A. muciniphila; this will open up future treatment strategies that can increase A. muciniphila abundance in the gut. Key points • Host-derived substances such as bile, microRNA and melatonin as well as mucin have beneficial effects on A. muciniphila. • Gut and probiotic bacteria and diet ingredients such as carbohydrates and phytochemicals could boost the abundance of A. muciniphila. • Several medicines could affect the growth of A. muciniphila.

Abstract
Interindividual heterogeneity in response to treatment is a real public health problem. It is a factor that can be responsible not only for ineffectiveness or fatal toxicity but also for hospitalization due to iatrogenic effects, thus increasing the cost of patient care. Several research teams have been interested in what may be at the origin of these phenomena, particularly at the genetic level and the basal activity of organs dedicated to the inactivation and elimination of drug molecules. Today, a new branch is being set up, explaining the enigmatic part that could not be explained before. Pharmacomicrobiomics attempts to investigate the interactions between bacteria, especially those in the gut, and drug response. In this review, we provide a state of the art on what this field has brought as new information and discuss the challenges that lie ahead to see the real application in clinical practice.

Oral administration of Akkermansia muciniphila elevates systemic antiaging and anticancer metabolites. Aging (Albany NY) 2021; 13:6375-6405. [PMID: 33653967 PMCID: PMC7993698 DOI: 10.18632/aging.202739] [Citation(s) in RCA: 66] [Impact Index Per Article: 22.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2021] [Accepted: 02/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The presence of Akkermansia muciniphila (Akk) in the human gut is associated with good health, leanness and fitness. Mouse experimentation has demonstrated positive effects for Akk, which counteracts aging, mediates antiobesity and antidiabetic effects, dampens inflammation and improves anticancer immunosurveillance. Clinical trials have confirmed antidiabetic effects for Akk. Here, we investigated the time-dependent effects of oral administration of Akk (which was live or pasteurized) and other bacteria to mice on the metabolome of the ileum, colon, liver and blood plasma. Metabolomics was performed by a combination of chromatographic and mass spectrometric methods, yielding a total of 1.637.227 measurements. Akk had major effects on metabolism, causing an increase in spermidine and other polyamines in the gut and in the liver. Pasteurized Akk (Akk-past) was more efficient than live Akk in elevating the intestinal concentrations of polyamines, short-chain fatty acids, 2-hydroxybutyrate, as well multiple bile acids, which also increased in the circulation. All these metabolites have previously been associated with human health, providing a biochemical basis for the beneficial effects of Akk.
