    The objective of this study was to elucidate the effect of intestinal Akkermansia muciniphila bacteria on fatty liver disease. Five-week-old C57BL/6N mice were administered either phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; control) or A. muciniphila at 108 to 109 CFU/ml, and were fed either a 45% fat diet (high-fat diet [HFD]) or a 10% fat diet (normal diet [ND]) for 10 weeks. After 10 weeks, the mice were euthanized, and blood and tissue samples, including adipose tissue, cecum, liver, and brain, were immediately collected. Biochemical and histological analyses were conducted, and the expression levels of related factors were compared to determine the antiobesity effects of Akkermansia muciniphila The gut microbiome was analyzed in fecal samples. Oral administration of A. muciniphila significantly (P < 0.05) lowered serum triglyceride (TG) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in obese mice. Compared to the non-A. muciniphila-treated group, the expression of SREBP (regulator of TG synthesis in liver tissue) was decreased in the A. muciniphila-treated group. The expression of IL-6 in the liver of obese mice was decreased following the administration of A. muciniphila Furthermore, alterations in the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes and the decrease in bacterial diversity caused by the HFD were restored upon the administration of A. muciniphila These results indicate that A. muciniphila prevents fatty liver disease in obese mice by regulating TG synthesis in the liver and maintaining gut homeostasis.IMPORTANCE This study investigated the effect of Akkermansia muciniphila on fatty liver disease. Although some research about the effects of A. muciniphila on host health has been published, study of the relationship between A. muciniphila administration and fatty liver, as well as changes in the gut microbiota, has not been conducted. In this study, we demonstrated that A. muciniphila prevented fatty liver disease by regulation of the expression of genes that regulate fat synthesis and inflammation in the liver.

    The identification of new probiotics with anti-obesity properties has attracted considerable interest. In the present study, the anti-obesity activities of Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) strains isolated from human stool samples and their relationship with the gut microbiota were evaluated using a high fat-diet (HFD)-fed mice model. Three strains of A. muciniphila were chosen from 27 isolates selected based on their anti-lipogenic activity in 3T3-L1 cells. The anti-lipogenic, anti-adipogenic and anti-obesity properties of these three strains were evaluated further in HFD-induced obese mice. The animals were administered these strains six times per week for 12 weeks. The treatment improved the HFD-induced metabolic disorders in mice in terms of the prevention of body weight gain, caloric intake and reduction in the weights of the major adipose tissues and total fat. In addition, it improved glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. These effects were also associated with the inhibition of low-grade intestinal inflammation and restoration of damaged gut integrity, prevention of liver steatosis and improvement of hepatic function. These results revealed a difference in the distribution pattern of the gut microbial communities between groups. Therefore, the gut microbial population modulation, at least in part, might contribute to the beneficial impact of the selected A. muciniphila strains against metabolic disorders.

    Akkermansia muciniphila is a gram-negative anaerobic bacterium, which represents a part of the commensal human microbiota. Decline in the abundance of A. muciniphila among other microbial species in the gut correlates with severe systemic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, intestinal inflammation and colorectal cancer. Due to its mucin-reducing and immunomodulatory properties, the use of probiotics containing Akkermansia sp. appears as a promising approach to the treatment of metabolic and inflammatory diseases. In particular, a number of studies have focused on the role of A. muciniphila in colorectal cancer. Of note, the results of these studies in mice are contradictory: some reported a protective role of A. muciniphila in colorectal cancer, while others demonstrated that administration of A. muciniphila could aggravate the course of the disease resulting in increased tumor burden. More recent studies suggested the immunomodulatory effect of certain unique surface antigens of A. muciniphila on the intestinal immune system. In this Perspective, we attempt to explain how A. muciniphila contributes to protection against colorectal cancer in some models, while being pathogenic in others. We argue that differences in the experimental protocols of administration of A. muciniphila , as well as viability of bacteria, may significantly affect the results. In addition, we hypothesize that antigens presented by pasteurized bacteria or live A. muciniphila may exert distinct effects on the barrier functions of the gut. Finally, A. muciniphila may reduce the mucin barrier and exerts combined effects with other bacterial species in either promoting or inhibiting cancer development.

    Akkermansia muciniphila (A. muciniphila) play an important in ameliorating obesity but is not allowed for direct consumption in most countries. To date, microbiota-directed foods selectively promote the targeted human gut microbes, providing a strategy for A. muciniphila enhancement. Multiple studies have indicated the potential regulation of the polyphenol on A. muciniphila. Therefore, a polyphenol screening based on A. muciniphila upregulation was performed in mice. Chlorogenic acid (CGA) exhibited a greater response to A. muciniphila upregulation. Furthermore, we found that CGA did not directly promote A. muciniphila growth or mucin secretion. Microbiome and metabolomics revealed that the increased abundance of A. muciniphila resulted from the inhibition of CGA on Desulfovibrio and Alistipes and the influence of docosahexaenoic acid, β-hydroxybutyrate, and N-acetyl-lactosamine. Finally, to confirm the regulation of CGA on A. muciniphila under disease conditions, high-fat diet-fed mice were established. The results showed CGA promoted A. muciniphila growth, and we expectedly found that CGA suppressed the augment in body weight of mice, significantly attenuated adipose tissue abnormality, provided liver protection and improved gut barrier integrity. These results suggest that CGA inhibits the development of obesity. Overall, our results indicate that microbiota-directed food is a promising approach for the treatment of obesity.

    Abstract Akkermansia muciniphila is considered a key constituent of a healthy gut microbiota. In inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), A. muciniphila has a reduced abundance while other, putative pathogenic, mucus colonizers bloom. We hypothesized that interbacterial competition may contribute to this observation. By screening the supernatants of a panel of enteric bacteria, we discovered that a previously uncharacterized Allobaculum species potently inhibits the growth of A. muciniphila . Mass spectrometry analysis identified a secreted Allobaculum sialidase as inhibitor of A. muciniphila growth. The sialidase targets sialic acids on casein O -glycans, thereby altering the accessibility of nutrients critical for A. muciniphila . The altered glycometabolic niche results in distorted A. muciniphila cell division and efficiently arrests its growth. The identification of a novel mechanism of A. muciniphila growth inhibition by a competing bacterial pathobiont may provide a rationale for interventions aimed at restoring and maintaining a healthy microbiota symbiosis in patients with intestinal disease.

    Abstract Trillions of microbes inhabit the human gut and build extremely complex communities. Gut microbes contribute to host metabolisms for better or worse and are widely studied and associated with health and disease. Akkermansia muciniphila is a gut microbiota member, which uses mucin as both carbon and nitrogen sources. Many studies on A . muciniphila have been conducted since this unique bacterium was first described in 2004. A . muciniphila can play an important role in our health because of its beneficial effects, such as improving type II diabetes and obesity and anti-inflammation. A . muciniphila establishes its position as a next-generation probiotic. Besides the effect of A . muciniphila on host health, a technique for boosting has been investigated. In this review, we show what factors can modulate the abundance of A . muciniphila focusing on the interaction with host-derived substances, other bacteria and diets. This review also refers to the possibility of the interaction between medicine and A . muciniphila ; this will open up future treatment strategies that can increase A . muciniphila abundance in the gut. Key points • Host-derived substances such as bile, microRNA and melatonin as well as mucin have beneficial effects on A. muciniphila. • Gut and probiotic bacteria and diet ingredients such as carbohydrates and phytochemicals could boost the abundance of A. muciniphila. • Several medicines could affect the growth of A. muciniphila.
