Specific butyrate-producing gut bacteria (e.g., Faecalibacterium, Roseburia) generate systemic butyrate that crosses the blood-brain barrier and inhibits hippocampal microglial HDAC2, leading to hyperacetylation of transcription factors that upregulate TREM2-independent phagocytic pathways. This enhances microglial amyloid-beta uptake and lysosomal degradation while suppressing NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Testable prediction: Germ-free AD mice colonized with butyrate-producing bacteria or tre
Rosa roxburghii polysaccharides combined with specific Bifidobacterium strains can reconstruct intestinal tight junctions and mucus layer integrity, preventing lipopolysaccharide translocation that triggers systemic inflammation and subsequent blood-brain barrier dysfunction.
