Tryptophan (Trp) has been shown to regulate immune function by modulating gut serotonin (5-HT) metabolism and signaling. However, the mechanisms underlying the microbial modulation of gut 5-HT signaling in gut inflammation with gut microbiota dysbiosis require further investigation. Here, we investigated the effects of Trp supplementation on the composition and metabolism of the gut microbiome and 5-HT signaling-related gut immune function using a dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis mouse model coupled with antibiotic exposure. The results showed that antibiotic treatment before but not during DSS treatment decreased the immunoregulatory effects of Trp and aggravated gut inflammation and body weight loss in mice. Metagenomic analysis revealed that the fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) of Trp-enriched gut microbiota to recipient mice subject to antibiotic preexposure and DSS treatment aggravated inflammation by increasing the relative abundances of Lactobacillus and Parabacteroides and the microbial production of indole coupled with the activation of the 5-HT receptor HTR2B in the colon. Transcriptomic analysis showed that HTR2B agonist administration strengthened the beneficial effects of Trp in DSS-induced colitis mice with antibiotic exposure by reducing gut lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) production, IκB-α/nuclear factor-κB signaling, and M1 macrophage polarization. Indole treatment reduced LBP production and M1 macrophage polarization both in mice with DSS-induced colitis and in lipopolysaccharide-treated mouse macrophages; however, the HTR2B antagonist reversed the effects of indole. Our findings provide the basis for developing new dietary and therapeutic interventions to improve gut microbiota dysbiosis-associated inflammatory gut disorders and diseases.

Background: Recent studies have shed light on the potential role of gut dysbiosis in shaping traumatic brain injury (TBI) outcomes. Changes in the levels and types of Lactobacillus bacteria present might impact the immune system disturbances, neuroinflammatory responses, anxiety and depressive-like behaviors, and compromised neuroprotection mechanisms triggered by TBI. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of a daily pan-probiotic (PP) mixture in drinking water containing strains of Lactobacillus plantarum, L. reuteri, L. helveticus, L. fermentum, L. rhamnosus, L. gasseri, and L. casei, administered for either two or seven weeks before inducing TBI on both male and female mice. Methods: Mice were subjected to controlled cortical impact (CCI) injury. Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) analysis was performed for metabolite measurements. The taxonomic profiles of murine fecal samples were evaluated using 16S rRNA V1-V3 sequencing analysis. Histological analyses were used to assess neuroinflammation and gut changes post-TBI, while behavioral tests were conducted to evaluate sensorimotor and cognitive functions. Results: Our findings suggest that PP administration modulates the diversity and composition of the microbiome and increases the levels of SCFAs in a sex-dependent manner. We also observed a reduction of lesion volume, cell death, and microglial and macrophage activation after PP treatment following TBI in male mice. Furthermore, PP-treated mice show motor function improvements and decreases in anxiety and depressive-like behaviors. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that PP administration can mitigate neuroinflammation and ameliorate motor and anxiety and depressive-like behavior deficits following TBI. These results underscore the potential of probiotic interventions as a viable therapeutic strategy to address TBI-induced impairments, emphasizing the need for gender-specific treatment approaches.
