[PMID: 38877311 DOI: 10.1038/s41440-024-01747-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 03/13/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/16/2024]
Abstract
Salt-sensitivity hypertension (SSH) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular event-related death. Despite the extensiveness of research on hypertension, which covers areas such as the sympathetic nervous system, the renin-angiotensin system, the vascular system, and the immune system, its pathogenesis remains elusive, with sub-optimal blood pressure control in patients. The gut microbiota is an important component of nutritional support and constitutes a barrier in the host. Long-term high salt intake can lead to gut microbiota dysbiosis and cause significant changes in the expression of gut microbiota-related metabolites. Of these metabolites, short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), trimethylamine oxide, amino acids, bile acids, and lipopolysaccharide are essential mediators of microbe-host crosstalk. These metabolites may contribute to the incidence and development of SSH via inflammatory, immune, vascular, and nervous pathways, among others. In addition, recent studies, including those on the histone deacetylase inhibitory mechanism of SCFAs and the blood pressure-decreasing effects of H2S via vascular activation, suggest that several proteins and factors in the classical pathway elicit their effects through multiple non-classical pathways. This review summarizes changes in the gut microbiota and its related metabolites in high-salt environments, as well as corresponding treatment methods for SSH, such as diet management, probiotic and prebiotic use, antibiotic use, and fecal transplantation, to provide new insights and perspectives for understanding SSH pathogenesis and the development of strategies for its treatment.

Abstract
The microbial communities that inhabit our bodies have been increasingly linked to host physiology and pathophysiology. This microbiome, through its role in colonization resistance, influences the risk of infections after transplantation, including those caused by multidrug-resistant organisms. In addition, through both direct interactions with the host immune system and via the production of metabolites that impact local and systemic immunity, the microbiome plays an important role in the establishment of immune tolerance after transplantation, and conversely, in the development of graft-versus-host disease and graft rejection. This review offers a comprehensive overview of the evidence for the role of the microbiome in hematopoietic cell and solid organ transplant complications, drivers of microbiome shift during transplantation, and the potential of microbiome-based therapies to improve pediatric transplantation outcomes.

Abstract
SCOPE People suffer from constipation caused by many factors, including constipation (Opioid-Induced Constipation, OIC) during analgesic treatment. Microorganisms may be a potent solution to this problem, but the mechanism is still unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS Based on models in vivo and in vitro, the potential mechanism involving Bifidobacterium animalis F1-7 (B. animalis F1-7), screened in the previous studies, is explored through non-targeted metabonomics, electrophysiological experiment and molecular level docking. The results showed that B. animalis F1-7 effectively alleviates OIC and promotes the expression of chromogranin A (CGA) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). The metabolite 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGE2 related to B. animalis F1-7 is found, which has a potential improvement effect on OIC at 20 mg kg BW-1 in vivo. At 30 ng mL-1 it effectively stimulates secretion of CGA/5-HT (408.95 ± 1.18 ng mL-1 ) by PC-12 cells and changes the membrane potential potassium ion current without affecting the sodium ion current in vitro. It upregulates the target of free fatty acid receptor-4 protein(FFAR4/β-actin, 0.81 ± 0.02). CONCLUSION The results demonstrate that metabolite 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-PGE2 participated in B. animalis F1-7 to alleviate OIC via the 5-HT pathway.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is one of the most effective treatment strategies for leukemia, lymphoma, and other hematologic malignancies. However, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) can significantly reduce the survival rate and quality of life of patients after transplantation, and is therefore the greatest obstacle to transplantation. The recent development of new technologies, including high-throughput sequencing, metabolomics, and others, has facilitated great progress in understanding the complex interactions between gut microbiota, microbiota-derived metabolites, and the host. Of these interactions, the relationship between gut microbiota, microbial-associated metabolites, and GVHD has been most intensively researched. Studies have shown that GVHD patients often suffer from gut microbiota dysbiosis, which mainly manifests as decreased microbial diversity and changes in microbial composition and microbiota-derived metabolites, both of which are significant predictors of poor prognosis in GVHD patients. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to summarize what is known regarding changes in gut microbiota and microbiota-derived metabolites in GVHD, their relationship to GVHD prognosis, and corresponding clinical strategies designed to prevent microbial dysregulation and facilitate treatment of GVHD.

Abstract
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is one of the most important cause of death in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The gastrointestinal tract is one of the most common sites affected by GVHD. However, there is no gold standard clinical practice for diagnosing gastrointestinal GVHD (GI-GVHD), and it is mainly diagnosed by the patient's clinical symptoms and related histological changes. Additionally, GI-GVHD causes intestinal immune system disorders, damages intestinal epithelial tissue such as intestinal epithelial cells((IEC), goblet, Paneth, and intestinal stem cells, and disrupts the intestinal epithelium's physical and chemical mucosal barriers. The use of antibiotics and diet alterations significantly reduces intestinal microbial diversity, further reducing bacterial metabolites such as short-chain fatty acids and indole, aggravating infection, and GI-GVHD. gut microbe diversity can be restored by fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) to treat refractory GI-GVHD. This review article focuses on the clinical diagnosis of GI-GVHD and the effect of GVHD on intestinal flora and its metabolites.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) remains the sole curative option for many hematological malignancies and other diseases. Nevertheless, its application is limited due to the risk of life-threatening complications, mainly graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Currently, in clinical practice, the risk of developing GVHD is estimated for every patient based on factors related to the donor and the host. In our prospective, observational study, we analyzed serum from 38 patients undergoing allo-HCT at our institution. We compared the metabolic profiles of patients who developed acute GVHD (aGVHD) with those without such complication by identification and comparison of metabolites masses on the XCMS platform. We observed that patients diagnosed with aGVHD had different metabolic profiles compared to the remaining patients and this alteration was noticeable already 7 days before the procedure. We identified dysregulated metabolites involved in bile acid transformation and cholesterol synthesis. Our study of the untargeted metabolome in allo-HCT recipients has revealed a potential link between lipid metabolism, specifically involving bile acid transformation and cholesterol synthesis, and the development of aGVHD. This finding might be an important indication for future research focused on understanding GVHD development, discovering prediction models, and investigating possible prophylactic interventions.

Abstract
The microbiome is a predictor of clinical outcome in patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). Microbiota-derived metabolites can modulate these outcomes. How bacteria, fungi and viruses contribute to the production of intestinal metabolites is still unclear. We combined amplicon sequencing, viral metagenomics and targeted metabolomics from stool samples of patients receiving allo-SCT (n = 78) and uncovered a microbiome signature of Lachnospiraceae and Oscillospiraceae and their associated bacteriophages, correlating with the production of immunomodulatory metabolites (IMMs). Moreover, we established the IMM risk index (IMM-RI), which was associated with improved survival and reduced relapse. A high abundance of short-chain fatty acid-biosynthesis pathways, specifically butyric acid via butyryl-coenzyme A (CoA):acetate CoA-transferase (BCoAT, which catalyzes EC 2.8.3.8) was detected in IMM-RI low-risk patients, and virome genome assembly identified two bacteriophages encoding BCoAT as an auxiliary metabolic gene. In conclusion, our study identifies a microbiome signature associated with protective IMMs and provides a rationale for considering metabolite-producing consortia and metabolite formulations as microbiome-based therapies.

Abstract
Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a severe side effect of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) that has complex phenotypes and often unpredictable outcomes. The current management is not always able to prevent aGVHD. A neglected actor in the management of aGVHD is the gut microbiota. Gut microbiota dysbiosis after aHSCT is caused by many factors and may contribute to the development of aGVHD. Diet and nutritional status modify the gut microbiota and a wide range of products are now available to manipulate the gut microbiota (pro-, pre-, and postbiotics). New investigations are testing the effect of probiotics and nutritional supplements in both animal models and human studies, with encouraging results. In this review, we summarize the most recent literature about the probiotics and nutritional factors able to modulate the gut microbiota and we discuss the future perspective in developing new integrative therapeutic approaches to reducing the risk of graft-versus-host disease in patients undergoing aHSCT.

Abstract
Bifidobacterium is a widely distributed commensal bacterial genus that displays beneficial pro-homeostatic and anti-inflammatory immunomodulatory properties. Depletion or absence of Bifidobacterium in humans and model organisms is associated with autoimmune responses and impaired immune homeostasis. At the cellular level, Bifidobacterium upregulates suppressive regulatory T cells, maintains intestinal barrier function, modulates dendritic cell and macrophage activity, and dampens intestinal Th2 and Th17 programs. While there has been a large volume of literature characterizing the probiotic properties of various Bifidobacterial species, the likely multifactorial mechanisms underlying these effects remain elusive, in particular, its immune tolerogenic effect. However, recent work has shed light on Bifidobacterium surface structural polysaccharide and protein elements, as well as its metabolic products, as commensal mediators of immune homeostasis. This review aims to discuss several mechanisms Bifidobacterium utilizes for immune modulation as well as their indirect impact on the regulation of gut microbiome structure and function, from structural molecules to produced metabolites. These mechanisms are pertinent to an increasingly networked understanding of immune tolerance and homeostasis in health and disease.

Abstract
Evaluation of the impact of dietary intervention on gastrointestinal microbiota and metabolites after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) is lacking. We conducted a feasibility study as the first of a two-phase trial. Ten adults received resistant potato starch (RPS) daily from day -7 to day 100. The primary objective was to test the feasibility of RPS and its effect on intestinal microbiome and metabolites, including the short-chain fatty acid butyrate. Feasibility met the preset goal of 60% or more, adhering to 70% or more doses; fecal butyrate levels were significantly higher when participants were on RPS than when they were not (P < 0.0001). An exploratory objective was to evaluate plasma metabolites. We observed longitudinal changes in plasma metabolites compared to baseline, which were independent of RPS (P < 0.0001). However, in recipients of RPS, the dominant plasma metabolites were more stable compared to historical controls with significant difference at engraftment (P < 0.05). These results indicate that RPS in recipients of allogeneic HCT is feasible; in this study, it was associated with significant alterations in intestinal and plasma metabolites. A phase 2 trial examining the effect of RPS on graft-versus-host disease in recipients of allogeneic HCT is underway. ClinicalTrials.gov registration: NCT02763033 .

Abstract
Mass spectrometry is a powerful and widely used tool for generating proteomics, lipidomics, and metabolomics profiles, which is pivotal for elucidating biological processes and identifying biomarkers. However, missing values in spectrometry-based omics data may pose a critical challenge for the comprehensive identification of biomarkers and elucidation of the biological processes underlying human complex disorders. To alleviate this issue, various imputation methods for mass spectrometry-based omics data have been developed. However, a comprehensive and systematic comparison of these imputation methods is still lacking, and researchers are frequently confronted with a multitude of options without a clear rationale for method selection. To address this pressing need, we developed omicsMIC (mass spectrometry-based omics with Missing values Imputation methods Comparison platform), an interactive platform that provides researchers with a versatile framework to simulate and evaluate the performance of 28 diverse imputation methods. omicsMIC offers a nuanced perspective, acknowledging the inherent heterogeneity in biological data and the unique attributes of each dataset. Our platform empowers researchers to make data-driven decisions in imputation method selection based on real-time visualizations of the outcomes associated with different imputation strategies. The comprehensive benchmarking and versatility of omicsMIC make it a valuable tool for the scientific community engaged in mass spectrometry-based omics research.

Abstract
Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) remains a prominent barrier to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantion as the leading cause of nonrelapse mortality and significant morbidity. Tremendous progress has been achieved in both the understanding of pathophysiology and the development of new therapies for cGvHD. Although our field has historically approached treatment from an empiric position, research performed at the bedside and bench has elucidated some of the complex pathophysiology of cGvHD. From the clinical perspective, there is significant variability of disease manifestations between individual patients, pointing to diverse biological underpinnings. Capitalizing on progress made to date, the field is now focused on establishing personalized approaches to treatment. The intent of this article is to concisely review recent knowledge gained and formulate a path toward patient-specific cGvHD therapy.

Abstract
Bee pollen (BP) and royal jelly (RJ) have shown therapeutic effects against colitis, but the functional components contained therein remain elusive. Here, we used an integrated microbiomic-metabolomic strategy to clarify the mechanism by which bee pollen lipid extracts (BPL) and royal jelly lipid extracts (RJL) ameliorated dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice. Lipidomic results showed that levels of ceramide (Cer), lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC), phosphatidylcholine (PC), and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) were significantly higher in BPL than in RJL. The anti-inflammatory efficacy of BPL surpassed that of RJL, although both BPL and RJL could attenuate DSS-induced colitis through several mechanisms: reducing the disease activity index (DAI); decreasing histopathological damage; inhibiting the expression of genes encoding proinflammatory cytokines; improving intestinal microbial community structure, and modulating host metabolism. These findings demonstrated that BPL and RJL have great potential as functional ingredients for the production of dietary supplements to prevent early colitis.

Abstract
Early administration of azithromycin after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was shown to increase the relapse of hematological malignancies. To determine the impact of azithromycin on the post-transplant gut ecosystem and its influence on relapse, we characterized overtime gut bacteriome, virome, and metabolome of 55 patients treated with azithromycin or a placebo. We describe four enterotypes and the network of associated bacteriophage species and metabolic pathways. One enterotype associates with sustained remission. One taxon from Bacteroides specifically associates with relapse, while two from Bacteroides and Prevotella correlate with complete remission. These taxa are associated with lipid, pentose, and branched-chain amino acid metabolic pathways and several bacteriophage species. Enterotypes and taxa associate with exhausted T cells and the functional status of circulating immune cells. These results illustrate how an antibiotic influences a complex network of gut bacteria, viruses, and metabolites and may promote cancer relapse through modifications of immune cells.

Klebsiella quasipneumoniae in intestine damages bile acid metabolism in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients with bloodstream infection. J Transl Med 2023; 21:230.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bloodstream infection (BSI) is a serious hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) complication. The intestinal microbiome regulates host metabolism and maintains intestinal homeostasis. Thus, the impact of microbiome on HSCT patients with BSI is essential. METHODS Stool and serum specimens of HSCT patients were prospectively collected from the pretransplant conditioning period till 4 months after transplantation. Specimens of 16 patients without BSI and 21 patients before BSI onset were screened for omics study using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and untargeted metabolomics. The predictive infection model was constructed using LASSO and the logistic regression algorithm. The correlation and influence of microbiome and metabolism were examined in mouse and Caco-2 cell monolayer models. RESULTS The microbial diversity and abundance of Lactobacillaceae were remarkably reduced, but the abundance of Enterobacteriaceae (especially Klebsiella quasipneumoniae) was significantly increased in the BSI group before onset, compared with the non-BSI group. The family score of microbiome features (Enterobacteriaceae and Butyricicoccaceae) could highly predict BSI (AUC = 0.879). The serum metabolomic analysis showed that 16 differential metabolites were mainly enriched in the primary bile acid biosynthesis pathway, and the level of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) was positively correlated with the abundance of K. quasipneumoniae (R = 0.406, P = 0.006). The results of mouse experiments confirmed that three serum primary bile acids levels (cholic acid, isoCDCA and ursocholic acid), the mRNA expression levels of bile acid farnesol X receptor gene and apical sodium-dependent bile acid transporter gene in K. quasipneumoniae colonized mice were significantly higher than those in non-colonized mice. The intestinal villus height, crypt depth, and the mRNA expression level of tight junction protein claudin-1 gene in K. quasipneumoniae intestinal colonized mice were significantly lower than those in non-colonized mice. In vitro, K. quasipneumoniae increased the clearance of FITC-dextran by Caco-2 cell monolayer. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that the intestinal opportunistic pathogen, K. quasipneumoniae, was increased in HSCT patients before BSI onset, causing increased serum primary bile acids. The colonization of K. quasipneumoniae in mice intestines could lead to mucosal integrity damage. The intestinal microbiome features of HSCT patients were highly predictive of BSI and could be further used as potential biomarkers.

Pretransplant systemic metabolic profiles in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients - identification of patient subsets with increased transplant-related mortality. Transplant Cell Ther 2023:S2666-6367(23)01196-X. [PMID: 36966869 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtct.2023.03.020] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/14/2022] [Revised: 03/11/2023] [Accepted: 03/17/2023] [Indexed: 04/24/2023]
Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is used in the treatment of high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS); however, the treatment has high risk of severe transplantation-related mortality (TRM). In this study, we examined pretransplantation serum samples derived from 92 consecutive allotransplant recipients with AML or MDS. Using nontargeted metabolomics, we identified 1274 metabolites including 968 of known identity (named biochemicals). We further investigated metabolites that differed significantly when comparing patients with and without early extensive fluid retention, pretransplantation inflammation (both being associated with increased risk of acute graft-versus-host disease [GVHD]/nonrelapse mortality) and development of systemic steroid-requiring acute GVHD (aGVHD). All three factors are associated with TRM and were also associated with significantly altered amino acid metabolism, although there was only a minor overlap between these three factors with regard to significantly altered individual metabolites. Furthermore, steroid-requiring aGVHD was especially associated with altered taurine/hypotaurine, tryptophan, biotin, and phenylacetate metabolism together with altered malate-aspartate shuttle and urea cycle regulation. In contrast, pretransplantation inflammation was associated with a weaker modulation of many different metabolic pathways, whereas extensive fluid retention was associated with a weaker modulation of taurine/hypotaurine metabolism. An unsupervised hierarchical cluster analysis based on the 13 most significantly identified metabolites associated with aGVHD identified a patient subset with high metabolite levels and increased frequencies of MDS/MDS-AML, steroid-requiring aGVHD and early TRM. On the other hand, a clustering analysis based on metabolites that were significantly altered for aGVHD, inflammation, and fluid retention comparison groups identified a patient subset with a highly significant association with TRM. Our study suggests that the systemic pretransplantation metabolic profiles can be used to identify patient subsets with an increased frequency of TRM.

Abstract
Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a prominent barrier to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) and even leads to death after HSCT. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (HUCMSCs) are effective in aGVHD treatment and have mild side effects, but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Phytosphingosine (PHS) is known to prevent loss of moisture from the skin; regulate epidermal cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis; and exert bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, our results revealed the efficacy of HUCMSCs in alleviating aGVHD in a murine model, with striking changes in metabolism and significantly elevated PHS levels due to sphingolipid metabolism. In vitro, PHS reduced CD4+ T cell proliferation, enhanced apoptosis and reduced T helper 1 (Th1) cell differentiation. Transcriptional analysis of donor CD4+ T cells treated with PHS revealed significant decreases in transcripts regulating proinflammatory pathways, such as NF-κB. In vivo, the administration of PHS significantly ameliorated aGVHD development. Collectively, these beneficial effects indicate proof-of-concept that sphingolipid metabolites could be a safe and effective means to prevent aGVHD in the clinic.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) is a standard curative therapy for a variety of benign and malignant hematological diseases. Previously, patients who underwent alloHCT were at high risk for complications with potentially life-threatening toxicities, including a variety of opportunistic infections as well as acute and chronic manifestations of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), where the transplanted immune system can produce inflammatory damage to the patient. With recent advances, including newer conditioning regimens, advances in viral and fungal infection prophylaxis, and novel GVHD prophylactic and treatment strategies, improvements in clinical outcomes have steadily improved. One modality with great potential that has yet to be fully realized is targeting the microbiome to further improve clinical outcomes.In recent years, the intestinal microbiota, which includes bacteria, fungi, viruses, and other microbes that reside within the intestinal tract, has become established as a potent modulator of alloHCT outcomes. The composition of intestinal bacteria, in particular, has been found in large multicenter prospective studies to be strongly associated with GVHD, treatment-related mortality, and overall survival. Murine studies have demonstrated a causal relationship between intestinal microbiota injury and aggravated GVHD, and more recently, clinical interventional studies of repleting the intestinal microbiota with fecal microbiota transplantation have emerged as effective therapies for GVHD. How the composition of the intestinal bacterial microbiota, which is often highly variable in alloHCT patients, can modulate GVHD and other outcomes is not fully understood. Recent studies, however, have begun to make substantial headway, including identifying particular bacterial subsets and/or bacterial-derived metabolites that can mediate harm or benefit. Here, the authors review recent studies that have improved our mechanistic understanding of the relationship between the microbiota and alloHCT outcomes, as well as studies that are beginning to establish strategies to modulate the microbiota with the hope of optimizing clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to compare the changes in the expression of microRNA Let-7i in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and the correlation between Let-7i and innate pro-inflammatory factors. It is necessary to search for a new biomarker to guide the prognosis of AS. Methods A total of 10 patients with AS and 10 healthy volunteers were selected as AS and control groups, respectively. The expression levels of Let-7i, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) in PBMCs were detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and Western blotting (WB) to explore the relationship between Let-7i and pro-inflammatory factors. Furthermore, the relationship between Let-7i and TLR4 was determined by the luciferase reporter technology. Results The expression level of Let-7i in PBMCs of patients with AS was significantly lower than that of healthy control. The expression levels of TLR4, NF-κB, and IFN-γ in PBMCs derived from patients with AS were significantly higher than those of healthy control. The results show that Let-7i manipulation can regulate lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced TLR4 and IFN-γ expression in CD4+ T cells of patients with AS. The overexpression of Let-7i in T cells of patients with AS can suppress TLR4 and IFN-γ LPS-induced expression levels of cellular mRNA and protein. Let-7i can directly interfere TLR4-3'untranslated region (UTR) sequence and regulate the expression of the TLR4 gene in Jurkat T cells. Conclusion Let-7i may be involved in the pathogenesis of AS, and Let-7i expression in PBMCs may be helpful for the diagnosis and treatment of AS in the future.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), also known as bone marrow transplantation, has curative potential for various hematologic malignancies but is associated with risks such as graft-versus-host disease (GvHD), severe bloodstream infection, viral pneumonia, idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS), lung fibrosis, and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), which severely deteriorate clinical outcomes and limit the wide application of HSCT. Recent research has provided important insights into the effects of gut microbiota and oxidative stress (OS) on HSCT complications. Therefore, based on recent studies, we describe intestinal dysbiosis and OS in patients with HSCT and review recent molecular findings underlying the causal relationships of gut microbiota, OS, and transplant-related complications, focusing particularly on the involvement of gut microbiota-mediated OS in postengraftment complications. Also, we discuss the use of antioxidative and anti-inflammatory probiotics to manipulate gut microbiota and OS, which have been associated with promising effects in improving HSCT outcomes.

Azithromycin promotes relapse by disrupting immune and metabolic networks after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. Blood 2022; 140:2500-2513.

Abstract
Administration of azithromycin after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for hematologic malignancies has been associated with relapse in a randomized phase 3 controlled clinical trial. Studying 240 samples from patients randomized in this trial is a unique opportunity to better understand the mechanisms underlying relapse, the first cause of mortality after transplantation. We used multi-omics on patients' samples to decipher immune alterations associated with azithromycin intake and post-transplantation relapsed malignancies. Azithromycin was associated with a network of altered energy metabolism pathways and immune subsets, including T cells biased toward immunomodulatory and exhausted profiles. In vitro, azithromycin exposure inhibited T-cell cytotoxicity against tumor cells and impaired T-cell metabolism through glycolysis inhibition, down-regulation of mitochondrial genes, and up-regulation of immunomodulatory genes, notably SOCS1. These results highlight that azithromycin directly affects immune cells that favor relapse, which raises caution about long-term use of azithromycin treatment in patients at high risk of malignancies. The ALLOZITHRO trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01959100.

Abstract
In the past 65 years, over 25 000 referenced articles have been published on graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Although this included clinically orientated papers or publications on chronic GVHD, the conservative estimate of scientific publications still contains several thousands of documents on the pathophysiology of acute GVHD. Thus, summarizing what we believe are prominent publications that can be considered milestones in our knowledge of this disease is a challenging and inherently biased task. Here we review from a historical perspective what can be regarded as publications that have made the field move forward. We also included several references of reviews on aspects we could not cover in detail.

Abstract
An intricate relationship between gut microbiota, diet, and the human body has recently been extensively investigated. Gut microbiota and gut-derived metabolites, especially, tryptophan derivatives, modulate metabolic and immune functions in health and disease. One of the tryptophan derivatives, indolepropionic acid (IPA), is increasingly being studied as a marker for the onset and development of metabolic disorders, including type 2 diabetes (T2D) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The IPA levels heavily depend on the diet, particularly dietary fiber, and show huge variations among individuals. We suggest that these variations could partially be explained using genetic variants known to be associated with specific diseases such as T2D. In this narrative review, we elaborate on the beneficial effects of IPA in the mitigation of T2D and NAFLD, and further study the putative interactions between IPA and well-known genetic variants (TCF7L2, FTO, and PPARG), known to be associated with the risk of T2D. We have investigated the long-term preventive value of IPA in the development of T2D in the Finnish prediabetic population and the correlation of IPA with phytosterols in obese individuals from an ongoing Kuopio obesity surgery study. The diversity in IPA-linked mechanisms affecting glucose metabolism and liver fibrosis makes it a unique small metabolite and a promising candidate for the reversal or management of metabolic disorders, mainly T2D and NAFLD.

Abstract
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) represents a potentially curative strategy for many oncological and non-oncological diseases, but it is associated with marked morbidity and mortality. The disruption of gut microbiota (GM) eubiosis has been linked to major allo-HSCT complications, including infections and acute graft vs. host disease (aGvHD), and correlates with mortality. This increasing knowledge on the role of the GM in the allo-HSCT procedure has led to fascinating ideas for modulating the intestinal ecosystem in order to improve clinical outcomes. Nutritional strategies, either by changing the route of nutritional supplementation or by administering specific molecules, are increasingly being considered as cost- and risk-effective methods of modulating the GM. Nutritional support has also emerged in the past several years as a key feature in supportive care for allo-HSCT recipients, and deterioration of nutritional status is associated with decreased overall survival and higher complication rates during treatment. Herein we provide a complete overview focused on nutritional modulation of the GM in allo-HSCT recipients. We address how pre transplant diet could affect GM composition and its ability to withstand the upsetting events occurring during transplantation. We also provide a complete overview on the influence of the route of nutritional administration on the intestinal ecosystem, with a particular focus on the comparison between enteral and parenteral nutrition (PN). Moreover, as mounting evidence are showing how specific components of post-transplant diet, such as lactose, could drastically shape the GM, we will also summarize the role of prebiotic supplementation in the modulation of the intestinal flora and in allo-HSCT outcomes.

Abstract
The effect of the gut microbiota on patients' outcomes after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is now well established. In particular, gut microbiota dysbiosis has been associated with acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Furthermore, increasing data also suggest an effect of the gut microbiota on outcome after autologous HCT and CAR T cells. In fact, the bacterial gut microbiota interplays with the immune system and contributes to immunological complication and antitumour response to treatment. Therefore, faecal microbiota transplantation has been evaluated in patients with haematological malignancies for various indications, including Clostridioides difficile infection, eradication of multidrug-resistant bacteria, and steroid refractory acute GVHD. In addition, use of prophylactic faecal microbiota transplantation to restore the gut microbiota and improve patients' outcomes is being developed in the setting of allogeneic HCT, but also probably very soon in patients receiving autologous HCT or CAR T cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a life-threatening complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Accumulating evidence suggests that imbalanced Treg/Th17 ratio accelerates the progression of aGVHD. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor activated through cognate ligand binding. Current evidence supports that AhR plays a critical regulatory role in the differentiation of Treg and Th17 cells. However, the relationship between AhR and aGVHD remains unclear. RESULTS Our results showed that AhR expression was downregulated significantly in CD4+ T cells from patients with aGVHD compared with the non-aGVHD group. We also discovered that after activating AhR deficient CD4+ T cells, the expression levels of the activation markers-CD40L, CD134 and CD137 and cell proliferation activity were significantly higher than those of AhR-expressing CD4+ T cells. Restoring the expression of AhR in aGVHD CD4+ T cells resulted in significantly increased percentage of Tregs and associated gene transcripts, including Foxp3, IL-10 and CD39. In contrast, Th17 cell amounts and the transcription of related genes, including RORγt, IL-17A and IL-17F, were significantly reduced. We confirmed that CTCF recruited EP300 and TET2 to bind to the AhR promoter region and promoted AhR expression by mediating histone H3K9/K14 hyperacetylation and DNA demethylation in this region. The low expression of CTCF caused histone hypoacetylation and DNA hypermethylation of the AhR promoter, resulting in insufficient expression in aGVHD CD4+ T cells. CONCLUSIONS CTCF is an important inducer of AhR transcription. Insufficient expression of CTCF leads to excessive AhR downregulation, resulting in substantial CD4+ T cell activation and Th17/Treg ratio increase, thereby mediating the occurrence of aGVHD.

Wolfe AE, Markey KA. The contribution of the intestinal microbiome to immune recovery after HCT. Front Immunol 2022; 13:988121. [PMID: 36059482 PMCID: PMC9434312 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2022.988121] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2022] [Accepted: 07/27/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Allogenic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a curative-intent immunotherapy for high-risk hematological malignancies and immune deficiencies. Allo-HCT carries a high risk of treatment-related mortality (TRM), largely due to infection or graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Robust immune recovery is essential for optimal patient outcomes, given the immunologic graft-versus-leukemia effect prevents relapse, and functional innate and adaptive immunity are both needed for the prevention and control of infection. Most simply, we measure immune recovery by enumerating donor lymphocyte subsets in circulation. In functional terms, ideal immune recovery is more difficult to define, and current lab techniques are limited to the measurement of specific vaccine-responses or mitogens ex vivo. Clinically, poor immune function manifests as problematic infection with viral, bacterial and fungal organisms. Furthermore, the ideal recovering immune system is capable of exerting graft-versus-tumor effects to prevent relapse, and does not induce graft-versus-host disease. Large clinical observational studies have linked loss of diversity within the gut microbiome with adverse transplant outcomes including decreased overall survival and increased acute and chronic GVHD. Furthermore, the correlation between intestinal microbial communities and numeric lymphocyte recovery has now been reported using a number of approaches. Large sets of clinically available white blood cell count data, clinical flow cytometry of lymphocyte subsets and bespoke flow cytometry analyses designed to capture microbiota-specific T cells (e.g. Mucosal-associated invariant T cells, subsets of the gd T cells) have all been leveraged in an attempt to understand links between the microbiota and the recovering immune system in HCT patients. Additionally, preclinical studies suggest an immunomodulatory role for bacterial metabolites (including butyrate, secondary bile acids, and indole derivatives from tryptophan metabolism) in transplant outcomes, though further studies are needed to unravel mechanisms relevant to the post-HCT setting. An understanding of mechanistic relationships between the intestinal microbiome and post-transplant outcomes is necessary for reduction of risk associated with transplant, to inform prophylactic procedures, and ensure optimal immune reconstitution without alloreactivity. Here, we summarize the current understanding of the complex relationship between bacterial communities, their individual members, and the metabolites they produce with immune function in both the allo-HCT and steady-state setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a hereditary blistering disorder characterized by skin fragility, chronic inflammation, malnutrition, and fibrosis. Metabolomics is an emerging investigative field that helps elucidate disease pathophysiology and identify biomarkers. However, previous metabolomic studies in RDEB are limited. OBJECTIVE To investigate the plasma metabolomic profiles in RDEB patients. METHODS We recruited 10 RDEB patients and 10 age-/gender-matched healthy controls. Peripheral blood samples were collected and plasma metabolomic profiling was performed by LC-MS/MS analysis. MS data processing and compound identification were executed by MS-DIAL. Enrichment analysis was performed by MetaboAnalyst 5.0. RESULTS Metabolomic analyses demonstrated that most amino acid levels were downregulated in RDEB patients, and the extent of insufficiency correlated with clinical severity. Several metabolites were dysregulated in RDEB, including glutamine and glutamate metabolism, tryptophan-to-kynurenine ratio, phenylalanine-to-tyrosine ratio, and succinate accumulation. LIMITATIONS The study was limited by small case numbers and the unrepresentativeness of a single time-point blood sample. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrated the altered metabolomic profiles in RDEB, reflecting the disease severity, the chronic inflammatory and malnourished status, while the fibrotic signatures were not evident.

Abstract
Mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) therapy has seen increased attention as a possible option to treat a number of inflammatory conditions including COVID-19 acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). As rates of obesity and metabolic disease continue to rise worldwide, increasing proportions of patients treated with MSC therapy will be living with obesity. The obese environment poses critical challenges for immunomodulatory therapies that should be accounted for during development and testing of MSCs. In this review, we look to cancer immunotherapy as a model for the challenges MSCs may face in obese environments. We then outline current evidence that obesity alters MSC immunomodulatory function, drastically modifies the host immune system, and therefore reshapes interactions between MSCs and immune cells. Finally, we argue that obese environments may alter essential features of allogeneic MSCs and offer potential strategies for licensing of MSCs to enhance their efficacy in the obese microenvironment. Our aim is to combine insights from basic research in MSC biology and clinical trials to inform new strategies to ensure MSC therapy is effective for a broad range of patients.

Pretransplant Systemic Lipidomic Profiles in Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant Recipients. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14122910. [PMID: 35740576 PMCID: PMC9220974 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14122910] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/14/2022] [Revised: 05/30/2022] [Accepted: 06/08/2022] [Indexed: 01/27/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Stem cell transplantation is used in the treatment of aggressive hematological malignancies and consists of initial high-dose and potentially lethal chemotherapy, followed by rescue with the transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells. Transplantation with stem cells from a healthy donor (i.e., allogeneic stem cells) has the strongest anti-cancer effect, but also the highest risk of severe toxicity. Furthermore, the clinical status at the time of transplantation (inflammation, fluid overload) is associated with posttransplant mortality, and immune-mediated acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a potential lethal complication. Finally, lipid metabolism regulates the proliferation and survival of both malignant hematological cells and immunocompetent cells that cause GVHD. Our study shows that the pretransplant lipid profiles differ between allotransplant recipients and can be used for the subclassification of patients and possibly to identify patients with an increased risk of death due to disease relapse or treatment toxicity. The therapeutic targeting of lipid metabolism should therefore be further explored in these transplant recipients. Abstract Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is used in the treatment of high-risk hematological malignancies. However, this treatment is associated with severe treatment-related morbidity and mortality. The metabolic status of the recipient may be associated with the risk of development of transplant-associated complications such as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). To better understand the impact of the lipidomic profile of transplant recipients on posttransplant complications, we evaluated the lipid signatures of patients with hematological disease using non-targeted lipidomics. In the present study, we studied pretransplant serum samples derived from 92 consecutive patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). A total of 960 lipid biochemicals were identified, and the pretransplant lipidomic profiles differed significantly when comparing patients with and without the risk factors: (i) pretransplant inflammation, (ii) early fluid overload, and (iii) patients with and without later steroid-requiring acute GVHD. All three factors, but especially patients with pretransplant inflammation, were associated with decreased levels of several lipid metabolites. Based on the overall concentrations of various lipid subclasses, we identified a patient subset characterized by low lipid levels, increased frequency of MDS patients, signs of inflammation, decreased body mass index, and an increased risk of early non-relapse mortality. Metabolic targeting has been proposed as a possible therapeutic strategy in allotransplant recipients, and our present results suggest that the clinical consequences of therapeutic intervention (e.g., nutritional support) will also differ between patients and depend on the metabolic context.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor-targeted therapy for CD4+ T cell-mediated idiopathic pneumonia syndrome in mice. Blood 2022; 139:3325-3339.

Abstract
We previously demonstrated that interferon γ (IFN-γ) derived from donor T cells co-opts the indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) → aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) axis to suppress idiopathic pneumonia syndrome (IPS). Here we report that the dysregulated expression of AP-1 family genes in Ahr-/- lung epithelial cells exacerbated IPS in allogeneic bone marrow transplantation settings. AHR repressed transcription of Jund by preventing STAT1 from binding to its promoter. As a consequence, decreased interleukin-6 impaired the differentiation of CD4+ T cells toward Th17 cells. IFN-γ- and IDO1-independent induction of Ahr expression indicated that the AHR agonist might be a better therapeutic target for IPS than the IDO1 activator. We developed a novel synthetic AHR agonist (referred to here as PB502) that potently inhibits Jund expression. PB502 was highly effective at inducing AHR activation and ameliorating IPS. Notably, PB502 was by far superior to the endogenous AHR ligand, L-kynurenine, in promoting the differentiation of both mouse and human FoxP3+ regulatory CD4+ T cells. Our results suggest that the IDO1-AHR axis in lung epithelial cells is associated with IPS repression. A specific AHR agonist may exhibit therapeutic activity against inflammatory and autoimmune diseases by promoting regulatory T-cell differentiation.

Abstract
Inter-chemical correlations in metabolomics and exposomics datasets provide valuable information for studying relationships among chemicals reported for human specimens. With an increase in the number of compounds for these datasets, a network graph analysis and visualization of the correlation structure is difficult to interpret. We have developed the Chemical Correlation Database (CCDB), as a systematic catalogue of inter-chemical correlation in publicly available metabolomics and exposomics studies. The database has been provided via an online interface to create single compound-centric views. We have demonstrated various applications of the database to explore: 1) the chemicals from a chemical class such as Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), phthalates and tobacco smoke related metabolites; 2) xenobiotic metabolites such as caffeine and acetaminophen; 3) endogenous metabolites (acyl-carnitines); and 4) unannotated peaks for PFAS. The database has a rich collection of 35 human studies, including the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and high-quality untargeted metabolomics datasets. CCDB is supported by a simple, interactive and user-friendly web-interface to retrieve and visualize the inter-chemical correlation data. The CCDB has the potential to be a key computational resource in metabolomics and exposomics facilitating the expansion of our understanding about biological and chemical relationships among metabolites and chemical exposures in the human body. The database is available at www.ccdb.idsl.me site.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE to analyze the factors associated with the failure of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) in patients undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Retransplantation (HSCR). METHOD this study implemented a quantitative approach and was a case-control type which addressed patients undergoing HSCR. To do so, a paired sample of two controls was used for each case (2:1). The case group consisted of the medical records of all patients who underwent HSCR (28) and the control group (56) of those who underwent only one transplant. Three variables guided the pairing: gender, diagnosis and type of transplant. RESULTS a total of 24 (85.71%) patients in the case group were re-transplanted due to disease relapse and four (14.29%) due to graft failure. There was a statistical difference in the analysis between patients who did not use ursodeoxycholic acid, opioid analgesics and immunosuppressants. The need for HSCR among those who used these medications inappropriately was 16.12, 12.79 and 4.5 times more likely, respectively, than those who used them correctly. CONCLUSION there was a difference regarding the reasons which led to the retransplantation and the analyzed subjects, and this study concluded that the predictive reason for retransplantation in the studied sample was disease relapse.

Abstract
Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is a major limitation of the therapeutic potential of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) derived from intestinal gram-negative bacteria are well-known aGVHD triggers and amplifiers. Here, we explored the LPS metabolism in aGVHD mouse models using an innovative quantification method. We demonstrated that systemic LPS accumulation after transplantation was due, at least partly, to a defect in its clearance through lipoprotein-mediated transport to the liver (i.e., the so-called reverse LPS transport). After transplantation, reduced circulating HDL concentration impaired LPS neutralization and elimination through biliary flux. Accordingly, HDL-deficient (Apoa1tm1Unc ) recipient mice developed exacerbated aGVHD. Repeated administration of HDL isolated from human plasma significantly decreased the mortality and the severity of aGVHD. While the potential role of HDL in scavenging circulating LPS was examined in this study, it appears that HDL plays a more direct immunomodulatory role by limiting or controlling aGVHD. Notably, HDL infusion mitigated liver aGVHD by diminishing immune infiltration (e.g., interferon-γ-secreting CD8+ T cells and non-resident macrophages), systemic and local inflammation (notably cholangitis). Hence, our results revealed the interest of HDL-based therapies in the prevention of aGVHD.

Abstract
The intestinal microbiota is essential for the fermentation of dietary fiber into short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) such as butyrate, acetate, and propionate. SCFAs can bind to the G-protein-coupled receptors GPR43 and GPR109A (HCAR2), with varying affinities to promote cellular effects in metabolism or changes in immune function. We explored the role of GPR109A as the main receptor for butyrate in mouse models of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Deletion of GPR109A in allo-HCT recipients did not affect GVHD, but transplantation of T cells from GPR109A knockout (KO) (Gpr109a-/-) mice into allo-HCT recipient mice significantly reduced GVHD morbidity and mortality compared with recipients of wild-type (WT) T cells. Recipients of Gpr109a-/- T cells exhibited less GVHD-associated target organ pathology and decreased proliferation and homing of alloreactive T cells to target tissues. Although Gpr109a-/- T cells did not exhibit immune deficits at a steady state, following allo-activation, Gpr109a-/- T cells underwent increased apoptosis and were impaired mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, which was reversible through antioxidant treatment with N-acetylcysteine (NAC). In conclusion, we found that GPR109A expression by allo-activated T cells is essential for metabolic homeostasis and expansion, which are necessary features to induce GVHD after allo-HCT.

Abstract
Background Lung metastasis is a common metastasis site of colorectal cancer which largely reduces the quality of life and survival rates of patients. The discovery of potential novel diagnostic biomarkers is very meaningful for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer with lung metastasis. Methods In the present study, the metabonomic profiling of serum samples of lung metastasis mice was analyzed by 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR). Principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) were used to elucidate the distinguishing metabolites between different groups, and all achieved excellent separations, which indicated that metastatic mice could be differentiated from control mice based on the metabolic profiles at serum levels. Furthermore, during lung metastasis of colorectal cancer, metabolic phenotypes changed significantly, and some of metabolites were identified. Results Among these metabolites, approximately 15 were closely associated with the lung metastasis process. Pathway enrichment analysis results showed deregulation of metabolic pathways participating in the process of lung metastasis, such as synthesis and degradation of ketone bodies pathway, amino acid metabolism pathway and pyruvate metabolism pathway. Conclusion The present study demonstrated the metabolic disturbances of serum samples of mice during the lung metastasis process of colorectal cancer and provides potential diagnostic biomarkers for the disease.

Abstract
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) involves the infusion of either bone marrow or blood cells preceded by toxic chemotherapy. However, there is little knowledge about the clinical benefits of parenteral nutrition (PN) in patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy during HSCT. We investigated the lipidomic profile of plasma and the targeted fatty acid profiles of plasma and erythrocytes in children after HSCT using PN with either a fish oil-based lipid emulsion or a classic soybean oil emulsion. An untargeted liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry platform connected with a novel in silico annotation algorithm was utilized to determine the most relevant chemical subclasses affected. In addition, we explored the interrelation between the lipidomics profile in plasma, the targeted fatty acid profile in plasma and erythrocytes, several biomarkers of inflammation, and antioxidant defense using an innovative data integration analysis based on Latent Components. We observed that the fish oil-based lipid emulsion had an impact in several lipid subclasses, mainly glycerophosphocholines (PC), glycerophosphoserines (PS), glycerophosphoethanolamines (PE), oxidized PE (O-PE), 1-alkyl,2-acyl PS, lysophosphatidylethanolamines (LPE), oxidized PS (O-PS) and dicarboxylic acids. In contrast, the classic soybean oil emulsion did not. Several connections across the different blocks of data were found and aid in interpreting the impact of the lipid emulsions on metabolic health.

Effect of Different Dietary Regimes on the Gut Microbiota and Fecal Metabolites of Père David’s Deer. Animals (Basel) 2022; 12:ani12050584.

Abstract
Simple Summary Père David’s deer is native to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in China. However, the wild population became extinct in China around 1900. In 1986, 39 Père David’s deer were reintroduced into Dafeng. Up until now, its wild population has reached 2658, with a total of 6119 in 2021. At present, due to the continuous increase in the population, the repeated grazing on the same plants by the Père David’s deer has affected the re-growth of plants, which has led to insufficient natural food. Therefore, feeding supplement with silage is necessary. As a key nutritional factor, diet is the most important for the gut microbiota and metabolites of wild animals. In order to determine the effect of different dietary patterns on the nutrition and health of Père David’s deer in Dafeng Reserve in spring, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of Père David’s deer feces by UPLC-MS/MS and 16S rRNA gene sequencing to reveal its intestinal chemical environment and the differences in the fecal microbiome. Altogether, our data explored the significant changes in the gut microbiota and metabolic pathways during the transition from full silage to a combination diet with silage and plant in spring. These data provided important information to make more reasonable measures for Père David’s deer’s protection. Abstract A deep understanding of the effect of seasonal dietary changes on the nutrition and health of Père David’s deer in Dafeng Reserve will contribute greatly to Père David’s deer’s protection. In this reserve, there were three seasonal dietary regimes: feeding on naturally occurring plants (PLANT diet), silage (SILAGE diet), and a combination of natural plants and silage (COMB diet). To some extent, the COMB diet reflects the seasonal transition from silage to the all-natural plant diet, especially in early spring. However, little is known regarding the gut microbiota changes and metabolic consequences under the COMB diet. Based on 16S rRNA sequencing and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry, the gut microbiota and fecal metabolites of Père David’s deer under these three diets were compared. Results showed the alpha diversity of the gut microbiota was significantly lower under the COMB diet compared to either the SILAGE or PLANT diets. Although no significant changes were observed in the core phyla, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes, among the three dietary regimes, a significant lower abundance of several other phyla (Spirochaetes, Melainabacteria, Proteobacteria, and Verrucobacteria) was observed in the COMB diet compared to the SILAGE diet. A greater number of fecal metabolite differences was identified between the COMB and SILAGE or COMB and PLANT diets than between the SILAGE and PLANT diets, suggesting that the COMB diet had more of an effect on the metabolism of Père David’s deer. The integrated pathway analysis showed that several metabolic pathways were significantly affected by the different dietary regimes, such as tryptophan metabolism, vitamin metabolism, and the platelet activation pathways. These metabolic changes reflect the responses and adaptations of Père David’s deer to different diets. Taken overall, our data reveal the difference in the gut microbiota and metabolic pathways of Père David’s deer under three dietary regimes in Dafeng Reserve, which provides important information for Père David’s deer conservation.

Abstract
The mechanisms underlying operational tolerance after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in humans are poorly understood. We studied two independent cohorts of patients who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from human leukocyte antigen-identical siblings. Primary tolerance was associated with long-lasting reshaping of the recipients' immune system compared to their healthy donors with an increased proportion of regulatory T cell subsets and decreased T cell activation, proliferation, and migration. Transcriptomics profiles also identified a role for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide biosynthesis in the regulation of immune cell functions. We then compared individuals with operational tolerance and nontolerant recipients at the phenotypic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic level. We observed alterations centered on CD38+-activated T and B cells in nontolerant patients. In tolerant patients, cell subsets with regulatory functions were prominent. RNA sequencing analyses highlighted modifications in the tolerant patients' transcriptomic profiles, particularly with overexpression of the ectoenzyme NT5E (encoding CD73), which could counterbalance CD38 enzymatic functions by producing adenosine. Further, metabolomic analyses suggested a central role of androgens in establishing operational tolerance. These data were confirmed using an integrative approach to evaluating the immune landscape associated with operational tolerance. Thus, balance between a CD38-activated immune state and CD73-related production of adenosine may be a key regulator of operational tolerance.

Abstract
Intestinal graft-versus-host disease (Gut-GVHD) is one of the major causes of mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). While systemic glucocorticoids (GCs) comprise the first-line treatment option, the response rate for GCs varies from 30% to 50%. The prognosis for patients with steroid-refractory acute Gut-GVHD (SR-Gut-aGVHD) remains dismal. The mechanisms underlying steroid resistance are unclear, and apart from ruxolitinib, there are no approved treatments for SR-Gut-aGVHD. In this review, we provide an overview of the current biological understanding of experimental SR-Gut-aGVHD pathogenesis, the advanced technology that can be applied to the human SR-Gut-aGVHD studies, and the potential novel therapeutic options for patients with SR-Gut-aGVHD.

Abstract
Investigating the metabolic effects of radiation is critical to understand the impact of radiotherapy, space travel, and exposure to environmental radiation. In patients undergoing hemopoietic stem cell transplantation, iron overload is a common risk factor for poor outcomes. However, no studies have interrogated the multiorgan effects of these treatments concurrently. Herein, we use a model that recapitulates transfusional iron overload, a condition often observed in chronically transfused patients. We applied an omics approach to investigate the impact of both the iron load and irradiation on the host metabolome. The results revealed dose-dependent effects of irradiation in the red blood cells, plasma, spleen, and liver energy and redox metabolism. Increases in polyamines and purine salvage metabolites were observed in organs with high oxygen consumption including the heart, kidneys, and brain. Irradiation also impacted the metabolism of the duodenum, colon, and stool, suggesting a potential effect on the microbiome. Iron infusion affected the response to radiation in the organs and blood, especially in erythrocyte polyamines and spleen antioxidant metabolism, and affected glucose, methionine, and glutathione systems and tryptophan metabolism in the liver, stool, and the brain. Together, the results suggest that radiation impacts metabolism on a multiorgan level with a significant interaction of the host iron status.

Abstract
Objective: to analyze the factors associated with the failure of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) in patients undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Retransplantation (HSCR). Method: this study implemented a quantitative approach and was a case-control type which addressed patients undergoing HSCR. To do so, a paired sample of two controls was used for each case (2:1). The case group consisted of the medical records of all patients who underwent HSCR (28) and the control group (56) of those who underwent only one transplant. Three variables guided the pairing: gender, diagnosis and type of transplant. Results: a total of 24 (85.71%) patients in the case group were re-transplanted due to disease relapse and four (14.29%) due to graft failure. There was a statistical difference in the analysis between patients who did not use ursodeoxycholic acid, opioid analgesics and immunosuppressants. The need for HSCR among those who used these medications inappropriately was 16.12, 12.79 and 4.5 times more likely, respectively, than those who used them correctly. Conclusion: there was a difference regarding the reasons which led to the retransplantation and the analyzed subjects, and this study concluded that the predictive reason for retransplantation in the studied sample was disease relapse.

Abstract
Resumen Objetivo: analizar los factores asociados con el fracaso del Trasplante de Células Madre Hematopoyéticas (TCMH) en pacientes sometidos al Retrasplante de Células Madre Hematopoyéticas (RCMH). Método: estudio cuantitativo de tipo caso-control que abordó pacientes sometidos al RCMH. Para esto, se utilizó una muestra pareada de dos controles para cada caso (2:1). El grupo caso estuvo formado por los registros médicos de todos los pacientes que fueron sometidos al RCMH (28) y el grupo control (56) por los que fueron sometidos a un solo trasplante. Tres variables guiaron el emparejamiento: género, diagnóstico y tipo de trasplante. Resultados: un total de 24 (85.71%) pacientes en el grupo caso fueron retransplantados debido a la recaída de la enfermedad y 4 (14.29%) por el fracaso del injerto. Hubo una diferencia estadística en el análisis entre los pacientes que no usaron ácido ursodesoxicólico, analgésicos opioides e inmunosupresores. La necesidad de RCMH entre los que usaron estos medicamentos de manera inapropiada se encontraba 16,12 - 12,79 y 4,5 veces más probable, respectivamente, que aquellos que los usaron correctamente. Conclusión: hubo diferencia en cuanto a las razones que llevaron al retrasplante de los sujetos analizados. Este estudio concluyó que la razón predictiva del retrasplante, en la muestra estudiada, fue la recidiva de la enfermedad.

Intestinal mycobiota composition and changes in children with thalassemia who underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2022; 69:e29411. [PMID: 34699120 DOI: 10.1002/pbc.29411] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2021] [Revised: 09/03/2021] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) alters the diversity of the intestinal bacterial microbiota. This study aimed to evaluate human mycobiota composition pre-HSCT and post-HSCT in children with thalassemia. METHOD Ten children with thalassemia undergoing allogeneic HSCT were enrolled. The stool samples were collected before the transplantation regimen, before the transplant day, and +15, +30 days, and three months after transplantation. Stool samples were also collected from the donor and the patient's caregivers. Gut mycobiota composition was evaluated with metagenomic analysis. RESULTS Pretransplant mycobiota of children with thalassemia (the predominant genus was Saccharomyces, 64.1%) has been shown to approximate the diverse mycobiota compositions of healthy adult donors but becomes altered (lower diversity) following transplant procedures. Three months after HSCT, phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were 83.4% and 15.6%, respectively. The predominant species were Saccaharomyces_uc and Saccharomyces cerevisiae (phylum Ascomycota); we also observed Malassezia restricta and Malassezia globosa (phylum Basidiomycota) (∼13%). On day 90 after HSCT, we observed 65.3% M. restricta and 18.4% M. globosa predominance at the species level in a four-year-old boy with acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) (skin and gut involvement) 19 days after transplantation included. CONCLUSION The mycobiota composition of children with thalassemia altered after HSCT. We observed Malassezia predominance in a child with GVHD. Further studies in children with GVHD will identify this situation.
