As a kind of antibacterial and antifungal preservative, benzoic acid is widely used in foods and feeds. Recently, many studies showed that it could improve the growth and health, which should, at least partially, be derived from the promotion of gut functions, including digestion, absorption, and barrier. Based on the similarity of gut physiology between human and pigs, many relative studies in which piglets and porcine intestinal epithelial cells were used as the models have been done. And the results showed that using appropriate benzoic acid levels might improve gut functions via regulating enzyme activity, redox status, immunity, and microbiota, but excess administration would lead to the damage of gut health through redox status. However, the further mechanisms that some intestinal physiological functions might be regulated are not well understood. The present review will, in detail, summarize the effect of benzoic acid on gut functions.

SummaryBifidobacterium is an important gut microbiota member during early life that is associated with improved gut health. However, the underlying health-driving mechanisms are not well understood, particularly how Bifidobacterium may modulate the intestinal barrier via programming of intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). In this study, we sought to investigate the global impact of model strain Bifidobacterium breve UCC2003 on the neonatal IEC transcriptome, including gene regulation and pathway modulation. Small IECs from two-week-old neonatal mice administered B. breve UCC2003 for three consecutive days or PBS (control group) were subjected to global RNASeq, with various bioinformatic approaches used to determine differentially expressed genes, pathways and affected cell types between control and experimental groups. Whilst colonisation with B. breve had minimal impacts on the neonatal microbiota, we observed extensive regulation of the IEC transcriptome; ~4,000 genes significantly up-regulated, including key genes associated with epithelial barrier function. Enrichment of cell differentiation and cell proliferation pathways were observed, along with an overrepresentation of stem cell marker genes, indicating an increase in the regenerative potential of the epithelial layer. Expression of distinct immune-associated pathway members (e.g. Toll-like Receptors) were also affected after neonatal B. breve colonisation. In conclusion, B. breve UCC2003 plays a central role in driving universal transcriptomic changes in neonatal IECs that enhances cell replication, differentiation and growth, predominantly in the stem cell compartment. This study enhances our overall understanding of the benefits of B. breve in driving intestinal epithelium homeostatic development during early life, with potential avenues to develop novel live biotherapeutic products.
