Disruptions in the SCFAs-Tregs axis contribute to immune dysregulation and inflammation. This study explores the immunomodulatory effects of the nutritional supplement Youtianli (YTL) in a juvenile mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced immune dysregulation. YTL supplementation significantly reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines, restored Th17/Treg balance, and increased SCFA-producing bacteria. Metabolomic analysis confirmed upregulation of butyrate and propionate metabolism, essential for immune modulation. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) demonstrated that immunoregulatory effects of YTL were microbiota-dependent. These findings suggest that YTL improves immune function by modulating gut microbiota and enhancing SCFA metabolism. This study highlights the potential of YTL as an immunoregulatory supplement and encourages further research into microbiota-targeted nutritional interventions.Schematic of the molecular mechanism by which YTL supplementation modulates treg cell function via gut microbiota and SCFAs.","PeriodicalId":12300,"journal":{"name":"Food and Agricultural Immunology","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/09540105.2025.2533244?needAccess=true","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147891438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerous natural compounds derived from plants have shown effective anti-inflammatory activities with low toxicity, particularly polysaccharides, which have garnered considerable attention. This study explores key aspects of the pathogenesis of ALI and the potential mitigation effects of phosphorylated polysaccharides derived from Scrophulariae Radix (PPSR) in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced mouse model of ALI. These include alterations in the lung tissue wet/dry ratio, histopathological changes, modulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and inhibition of the NF-κB signalling pathway. Moreover, PPSR significantly reduced lung nitric oxide (NO) production and the expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) in lung tissue. The findings provide important insights into the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of PPSR, emphasising its anti-inflammatory properties and its potential to alleviate the detrimental consequences of ALI.","PeriodicalId":12300,"journal":{"name":"Food and Agricultural Immunology","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147893893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Chinese giant salamander (CGS) has both edible and medicinal values. In this study, we tried to verify the immunoregulatory function of CGS skin collagen peptides (CGSSCPs) on macrophages and elucidate its mechanism. CGSSCPs decreased the secretion of nitric oxide (NO) and downregulated the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), chemokine (C–C motif) ligand 5 (CCL5) and (C-X-C motif) ligand 10 (CXCL10) in Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells. Moreover, CGSSCPs promoted the expression of lincRNA-EPS, and inhibited the phosphorylation of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. Silencing lincRNA-EPS up-regulated the phosphorylation level of NF-κB and the expression of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α) and chemokines (CCL5 and CXCL10). These suggest that CGSSCPs may regulate RAW264.7 cells by the lincRNA-EPS/NF-κB pathway, which provides a theoretical basis for the development of new anti-inflammatory drugs.","PeriodicalId":12300,"journal":{"name":"Food and Agricultural Immunology","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147911798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
