Gut-brain axis: Focus on gut metabolites short-chain fatty acids
WORLD JOURNAL OF CLINICAL CASES(2022)
摘要
Emerging evidence supports that the gut microbiome, reconsidered as a new organ in the human body, can not only affect the local gut, but also communicate with the brain via multiple pathways related to neuroendocrine, immune, and neural pathways, thereby proposing the new concept of the microbiome-gut-brain (MGB) axis. Recently, the role of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which are the main anaerobic fermented metabolites of the gut microbiota in the MGB axis, has garnered significant attention. SCFAs are involved in a broad range of central neurological diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases, cerebral vascular diseases, epilepsy, neuroimmune inflammatory diseases, and mood disorders. However, the underlying mechanism of SCFA-related distant organ crosstalk is yet to be elucidated. Herein, we summarize current knowledge regarding interactions between SCFAs and the MGB axis, as well as their protective effects against central neurological diseases.
