Background/Aims Gut microbiome plays a pivotal role in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) pathogenesis, yet, associated functional mechanisms and host responses of specific microbial species remain insufficiently characterized. This study investigated the Bacteroides eggerthii therapeutic effects on MASLD by integrating multi-omics analysis and experimental validation in a Western diet (WD)-induced mouse model.
Methods Candidate strains were identified using 16S rRNA gene sequencing of fecal samples from individuals with and without MASLD or obesity. B. eggerthii, a species significantly depleted in both groups, was selected for functional evaluation. Male C57BL/6J mice were fed a WD or WD supplemented with B. eggerthii (WD+B) for 12 weeks. Liver histology, serum biochemistry, fecal microbiome and metabolome profiling, and hepatic and intestinal transcriptomic analyses were performed. Anti-steatotic effects of B. eggerthii–derived metabolites were validated in vitro.
Results Bacteroides eggerthii supplementation significantly improved liver weight, inflammation, fibrosis, and steatosis in WD+B group compared to WD alone. PICRUSt-based LEfSe analysis revealed choloylglycine hydrolase activity enrichment in gut microbiota, and strain-specific qPCR confirmed colonization in mouse colon. Integrated transcriptomic analyses revealed lipid and bile acid signaling pathway restoration, including CD36, FXR, and FGF15. Untargeted metabolomics identified elevated 2-hydroxyisocaproic acid (HICA) as a strain-derived metabolite in feces and B. eggerthii culture supernatants. In vitro, HICA significantly reduced lipid accumulation in free fatty acid-induced steatosis models.
Conclusions Bacteroides eggerthii ameliorates MASLD via gut-liver axis modulation, including bile acid metabolism and hepatic lipid signaling. These underscore its therapeutic potential and highlight HICA as a novel microbiome-derived metabolite with anti-steatotic activity.

Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), formerly known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, has become the most common form of chronic liver disease in children. The spectrum of pediatric MASLD ranges from simple steatosis to steatohepatitis, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and in rare cases, hepatocellular carcinoma. Its pathogenesis involves a complex interplay among genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors, along with alterations in the gut microbiota and its associated metabolites. Given the staggering prevalence and the distinct etiopathogenesis of pediatric MASLD, characterization of the gut microbiota and microbial products could facilitate the development of diagnostic tools and inform targeted therapeutic strategies. Current research on the gut microbiome in the context of pediatric MASLD is limited by small sample size, inadequate use of liver biopsy, methodological inconsistencies in sequencing, and confounding effects from metabolic comorbidities. In this review, we summarize clinical studies on alterations in the gut microbiota and microbial products (short-chain fatty acids, bile acids, and ethanol) that impact the pathogenesis of pediatric MASLD. We discuss the therapeutic potential of dietary modification, pharmacological treatments, and probiotics in improving disease progression by summarizing current clinical studies. Enhancing our understanding of the gut-liver axis may aid in the development of effective therapeutic strategies for pediatric MASLD.

Background/Aims Evidence suggests that the gastrointestinal microbiome plays a significant role in the biology of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, it remains unclear whether disparities in the gut microbiome across intestinal tissular compartments between the sexes lead to MASLD pathogenesis.
Methods Sex-specific analyses of microbiome composition in two anatomically distinct regions of the gut, the small intestine and colon, were performed using an experimental model of MASLD. The study involved male and female spontaneously hypertensive rats and the Wistar-Kyoto control rat strain, which were fed either a standard chow diet or a high-fat diet for 12 weeks to induce MASLD (12 rats per group). High-throughput 16S sequencing was used for microbiome analysis.
Results There were significant differences in the overall microbiome composition of male and female rats with MASLD, including variations in topographical gut regions. The beta diversity of the jejunal and colon microbiomes was higher in female rats than in male rats (PERMANOVA p-value=0.001). Sex-specific analysis and discriminant features using LEfSe showed considerable variation in bacterial abundance, along with distinct functional properties, in the jejunum and colon of animals with MASLD. Significantly elevated levels of lipopolysaccharide and protein expression of Toll-like receptor 4 were observed in the livers of male rats with MASLD compared with their female counterparts.
Conclusions This study uncovered sexual dimorphism in the gut microbiome of MASLD and identified microbial heterogeneity within intestinal compartments. Insights into sex-specific variations in gut microbiome composition could facilitate customised treatment strategies.

Background/Aims Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely related to gut-microbiome. There is a paucity of research on which strains of gut microbiota affect the progression of NAFLD. This study explored the NAFLD-associated microbiome in humans and the role of Lactobacillus in the progression of NAFLD in mice.
Methods The gut microbiome was analyzed via next-generation sequencing in healthy people (n=37) and NAFLD patients with elevated liver enzymes (n=57). Six-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were separated into six groups (n=10 per group; normal, Western, and four Western diet + strains [109 colony-forming units/g for 8 weeks; L. acidophilus, L. fermentum, L. paracasei, and L. plantarum]). Liver/body weight ratio, liver pathology, serum analysis, and metagenomics in the mice were examined.
Results Compared to healthy subjects (1.6±4.3), NAFLD patients showed an elevated Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio (25.0±29.0) and a reduced composition of Akkermansia and L. murinus (P<0.05). In the animal experiment, L. acidophilus group was associated with a significant reduction in liver/body weight ratio (5.5±0.4) compared to the Western group (6.2±0.6) (P<0.05). L. acidophilus (41.0±8.6), L. fermentum (44.3±12.6), and L. plantarum (39.0±7.6) groups showed decreased cholesterol levels compared to the Western group (85.7±8.6) (P<0.05). In comparison of steatosis, L. acidophilus (1.9±0.6), L. plantarum (2.4±0.7), and L. paracasei (2.0±0.9) groups showed significant improvement of steatosis compared to the Western group (2.6±0.5) (P<0.05).
Conclusions Ingestion of Lactobacillus, such as L. acidophilus, L. fermentum, and L. plantarum, ameliorates the progression of nonalcoholic steatosis by lowering cholesterol. The use of Lactobacillus can be considered as a useful strategy for the treatment of NAFLD.
