INTRODUCTION TO MICROBIOME
 The microbiome consists of microbes with trillionsof microorganisms (also called microbiota or
microbes) of thousandsof different species
 Most are symbiotic (where both the human body and microbiota benefit) and some, in smaller
numbers, are pathogenic (promotingdisease)
 The microbiome is even labeleda supportingorgan because it plays so many key roles in promoting
the smooth daily operationsof the human body
 The Human Microbiome Project was launched in 2007, AUnited States National Institutes of Health
research initiative to improve understandingof the microbiota involved in human health and disease.
GUT MICROBIOME
 The trillions of microorganisms and their genetic material that live in intestinal tract comprise gut microbiome
 It is a complex ecosystem inhabited by a myriad of microorganisms, including fungi, bacteria, viruses, and archaea
where 99% of microbiota gene occupied by bacteria- a dominant variant( Arumugam,M;Burgdorf,K.S; 2010)
 This ecosystem, collectively known as the ‘microbiota’, provides various protective, structural, and metabolic
benefits to the human body
SIGNIFICANCE OF GUT MICROBIOME IN HUMAN HEALTH
MICROBIOME COMPOSITION IN GUT
 The most abundant microbiota are found in the gut, specifically the human colon, an organ that supports the most
microbes. The four dominant phyla resident in the human gut are:
1.Firmicutes
2.Bacteroidetes
3.Actinobacteria
4.Proteobacteria
FACTORS INFLUENCING MICROBIOME DIVERSITY
 According to the study by Gail A. Cresci (2015),there are certain factors that affect and change the gut
microbiota:
GUT BRAIN AXIS
 It is a bidirectional communication that takes place between gut and brain
 The central and the enteric nervous system of gut links emotional and cognitive
centers of the brain with peripheral intestinal functions
 Cephalic phase of gastric and pancreatic secretion discovered by IVAN PAVLOV, the
first physiologist who was awarded the Noble Prize for physiology in 1904
 This interaction involves the microbiome present in the gut
 Human Microbiota contains 1013 microorganisms that is 10 times more than the total
number of cells that is more than the human body has!
 Data from Metahit and HMP concluded that 2172 species of microbes isolated in the
human gut
INTERACTION BETWEEN GUT MICROBIOTA AND BRAIN
 Gut microbes communicate to the CNS through at least three parallel and interacting channels involving Nervous,
Endocrine and Immune signaling mechanisms
 Brain communicates to the gut and gut microbiota through Autonomic Nervous System (ANS)
 This interaction modulates regional gut motility, intestinal transit, secretion and gut permeability
1. NEURONALCHANNEL
 The vagus nerve which is the longest nerve
of ANS connect the gut and brain
 They scatter throughoutthe intestinal wall
 But it doesn’t cross the epithelialbarrier hence,
no connectionwith the microbes
 It interact with compound of microbes that pass
the epithelial barrier
2.NEUROENDOCRINE SIGNALING IN THE GUT-BRAIN AXIS
 The HPA axis(Hypothalamic pituitary adrenalin) is one of the main Neuroendocrine
pathway which has significant impact on gut physiology regulating immune cell
activity in gut.
 It also alters gut permeability and barrier
 This communication is mediated by several microbial derived molecules that include
SCFAs, secondary bile acids(SBA), tryptophan
 The HPA axis and the ANS regulate each other and collaborate with the immune
system to regulate gut health
ENTEROCHROMAFFIN CELLSIGNALING
 Enterochromaffin cells are responsible for the release of serotonin in GI
 95% of serotonin stored in Enterochromaffin cells and 5% of serotonin stored in CNS
 The serotonin which is synthesized, is regulated by spore formation bacteria in gut
DURING NORMAL CONDITIONS
DURING STRESS CONDITIONS
3. NEURO-IMMUNE SIGNALING PATHWAY
 The interaction between gut microbiota and immune system is really extensive
 The maturation of our immune, neurological and microbial colonization starts with birth of baby
 Mothers are major source of gut microbes. So, gut microbiota plays major role in innate and adaptive immunity
TYPES OF EPITHELIALCELLS IN GUT
There are mainly five types of epithelial cells in the gut which has different functions
TYPES OF EPITHELIAL CELLS IN GUT
IMPACT OF DIET ON MICROBIOME AND GUT-BRAIN AXIS
 Gut microbiota metabolizes food constituents into several active metabolites that modulate the functionality of
microbiome
 Dietary macronutrients including carbohydrates, protein and fat, and numerous micronutrients have been widely
found to influence the composition of gut microbiota
 Dietary habits are the result of multiple food components interactions and the specific combination of micro-
nutrients and macro-nutrients may differently affect microbiome
 The Major impact is shown by Fiber intake, High fat and red meat, Prebiotics and Probiotics
IMPACT OF FIBER AND RED MEAT
IMPACT OF PREBIOTICAND PROBIOTIC
PREBIOTIC
 Prebiotics are ingredients that contribute to the
growth of active microorganisms in the host
 Indigestible fiber in the large intestine get fermented
by gut bacteria
 Inulin and Oligosaccharide are most common
Prebiotics
PROBIOTIC
 Probiotics are living microorganisms that provide
benefits to host health by colonizing the body
 Restores the health of gut microbiota
 Sufficient amount of microbes reside naturally in gut
mostly Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species
DISORDERS RELATED TO NEUROLOGICAL FUNCTION
 The gut microbiota also affects the brain through the endocrine, immunological, and metabolic systems (the gut-
brain neuroanatomical pathway) (Cryan and Dinan, 2012; Montiel-Castro et al., 2013)
 Individuals’ diet, age, gender, environment, and genes had an impact on the composition of their gut microbiota
(Takagi et al., 2019)
 Dysbiosis of the human gut microbiome has been associated with various pathologies (Perry et al., 2016)
 Neurological disorders, specifically focused on Alzheimer’s disease (Helicobacter pylori), Parkinson’s
disease(Fermicutes), depression, anxiety disorders(Bifidobacterium and lactobacillus)
DISORDERS RELATED TO GASTROINTESTINAL FUNCTION
 It includeirritablebowel syndrome, reflux hypersensitivity or functional dyspepsia
 Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the most common prototypical disorderof gut-brain interaction,
affecting in the order of 5% to 10% of adults worldwide
 Glutamatehas central activity, so it has an important role in pain perception at the level of the spinal
cord and brain
 Abdominal discomfortor pain, attentionand memory are modified, potentiallyleading to
contextualizingand conditioningtoward IBS regarding low glutamate levels
 Evidence has been established that alterationsin microbiota with regard to instability and reduced
diversity frequentlyseen in post-infectiousIBS
 Sedentary work, lack of exercise, western high-carbohydratediet and processed food are additional
well-established risk factors for IBS
THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS
PROBIOTIC SUPPLEMENTS
 The gut houses our second brain, the enteric nervous system (ENS)
 Probioticstrains, specifically the Lactobacillusand Bifidobacteriumstrains found to be more effective
 Study, publishedin the Frontiersof Neuroscience, showed that peoplewith Alzheimer’s disease who
took probiotics(a mixture of L. acidophilus, L. casei, B. bifidum,and L. fermentum) experienced
positive effects on cognitive functions like learning power and memory
 Probioticsupplementstypicallycontain a combination of several bacteria species
 The recommended daily dosage ranges from 1 billionto 10 billioncolonyforming units (CFUs)
 A 2011 study, Sourcefound that taking a probioticpill with 30 minutes before a meal (but not 30
minutes after) is the optimal way to keep all the benefits of probioticsupplements
PROBIOTIC STRAIN PROBIOTIC FOOD SCIENCE BEHIND IT
L. plantarum, B. bifidum Sauerkraut
Kimchi
Significantly increased serotonin and
dopamine and reduced anxious
behavior
B. infantis, B. bifidum, or lactobacillus Greek yogurt Increased relaxation and helped with
treating irritable bowel syndrome
Lactobacillus Kombucha Helps generate vitamins such as K and
B-12, which may also influence mood
FECAL MICROBIOTA TRANSPLANTATION (FMT)
 Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT), as a microbiota-target therapy, is arguably very
effective for curing Clostridium difficile infection
 Clostridium difficile colitis results from disruption of normal, healthy bacteria in the colon,
often as a result of antibiotics.
 (FMT) is a technique in which intestinal microbiota are transferred from a healthy donor to
the patient, with the goal being to introduce or restore a stable microbial community in the gut
 It was first published in the English language by Eiseman et al in 1958, when he reported a
prompt response in patients with antibiotic-associated diarrhea treated with fecal enemas
 2013 guidelines for CDI have recommended that FMT should be considered if there is a third
recurrence after a pulsed vancomycin regimen(drug treatment)
PROBIOTICS AND THE MICROBIOTA-GUT-BRAIN AXIS: FOCUS
ON PSYCHIATRY- RESEARCH ARTICLE
AIM: To examine data from recent interventional studies focusing on probiotics and the gut-brain axis for
the treatment of depression, anxiety and schizophrenia
METHODOLOGY: The study populationin these papers have been clinicallydiagnosed with either
depression, an anxiety disorder or schizophrenia. Akkaseh et al. included 40 participantswith major
depressive disorder. Relevant questionnaireshave been used to quantify psychiatric symptoms (such as the
Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) for depression severity). Some dietary supplements, such as omega-3 fatty
acids, are used in the treatment of depressive disorders. Probioticssuch as Lactobacillusand Bifidobacteria
species are administrated.
RESULTS: Elevated stress levels are intertwined with anxiety and depression. The rates of depression and
anxiety are disproportionallyhigh in patients with functionalgut disorders. SCFAs have been found to be of
importancein psychiatric disorders; for example, they were found to be lower in depression.
After 8 weeks, the 20 patients in the active intervention group showed significantly decreased BDI scores.
Long-term probioticsupplementationmay have some merit as probioticscannot be detected in stool 1–4
weeks after the consumptionis stopped. Areduced risk for severe bowel problems in patients with
moderate to severe schizophreniasymptoms after treatment with the probioticsupplement (4 weeks after
the end of the probioticintervention), but the depression scores were rising again .
RECENTFINDINGS:
Probioticsare likely to improve depression but not schizophrenia. Regarding anxiety, there is only one
trial which showed an effect of a multispecies probiotic.However, determinantslike the durationof
treatment, dosage and interactionshave not been thoroughlyinvestigated and deserve more scientific
attention.
