Integrated Analysis of the Cecal Microbiome and Plasma Metabolomics to Explore NaoMaiTong and Its Potential Role in Changing the Intestinal Flora and Their Metabolites in Ischemic Stroke
Abstract:Ischemic stroke (IS), as a leading cause of disability worldwide, affects intestinal bacterial communities and their metabolites, while recent discoveries have highlighted the importance of the intestinal microflora in the development of IS. Systematic investigations of complex intestinal bacterial communities and their metabolites during ischemic brain injury contribute to elucidate the promising therapeutic targets for IS. However, the associations between intestinal microbiota and related circulating metabo… Show more

The high morbidity, mortality, and disability rates associated with cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) pose a severe danger to human health. Gut bacteria significantly affect the onset, progression, and prognosis of CeVD. Gut microbes play a critical role in gut-brain interactions, and the gut-brain axis is essential for communication in CeVD. The reflection of changes in the gut and brain caused by gut bacteria makes it possible to investigate early warning biomarkers and potential treatment targets. We primarily discussed the following three levels of brain-gut interactions in a systematic review of the connections between gut microbiota and several cerebrovascular conditions, including ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, intracranial aneurysm, cerebral small vessel disease, and cerebral cavernous hemangioma. First, we studied the gut microbes in conjunction with CeVD and examined alterations in the core microbiota. This enabled us to identify the focus of gut microbes and determine the focus for CeVD prevention and treatment. Second, we discussed the pathological mechanisms underlying the involvement of gut microbes in CeVD occurrence and development, including immune-mediated inflammatory responses, variations in intestinal barrier function, and reciprocal effects of microbial metabolites. Finally, based on the aforementioned proven mechanisms, we assessed the effectiveness and potential applications of the current therapies, such as dietary intervention, fecal bacterial transplantation, traditional Chinese medicine, and antibiotic therapy.

There has been a significant amount of interest in the past two decades in the study of the evolution of the gut microbiota, its internal and external impacts on the gut, and risk factors for cerebrovascular disorders such as cerebral ischemic stroke. The network of bidirectional communication between gut microorganisms and their host is known as the microbiota-gut-brain axis (MGBA). There is mounting evidence that maintaining gut microbiota homeostasis can frequently enhance the effectiveness of ischemic stroke treatment by modulating immune, metabolic, and inflammatory responses through MGBA. To effectively monitor and cure ischemic stroke, restoring a healthy microbial ecology in the gut may be a critical therapeutic focus. This review highlights mechanistic insights on the MGBA in disease pathophysiology. This review summarizes the role of MGBA signaling in the development of stroke risk factors such as aging, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, and atherosclerosis, as well as changes in the microbiota in experimental or clinical populations. In addition, this review also examines dietary changes, the administration of probiotics and prebiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation as treatment options for ischemic stroke as potential health benefits. It will become more apparent how the MGBA affects human health and disease with continuing advancements in this emerging field of biomedical sciences.
The high incidence, mortality, and disability associated with ischemic stroke pose a significant threat to human health. The intestinal microbiota significantly influences the onset, progression, and prognosis of ischemic stroke. Gut flora plays a pivotal role in brain–gut interactions. The reflection of changes in the gut and brain caused by gut microbes facilitates the investigation of early warning biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for ischemic stroke. In this narrative review of the relationship between gut microbiota and ischemic stroke, we primarily discuss three topics, grounded in real‐world human and animal studies. First, we examined the relationship between ischemic stroke and intestinal microbiota and its metabolites, delineate the overall characteristics of intestinal microbiota dysregulation in ischemic stroke, and assess the potential clinical value, prevailing research controversies, and unique phenomena of intestinal microbiota metabolites such as trimethylamine N‐oxide and short‐chain fatty acids in ischemic stroke. Second, we explored the potential communication pathways between intestinal flora and ischemic stroke based on the brain–gut axis, encompassing metabolic pathways, immune pathways, and neural pathways. Finally, we encapsulated the factors influencing the severity of ischemic stroke via intestinal flora, the pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions that modulate intestinal flora in treating ischemic stroke, and the current research landscape of intestinal flora in the context of ischemic stroke sequelae.
