What question did this study set out to answer?

Investigate how tryptophan metabolism and gut microbiota affect pyroptosis and intestinal health.

April 3, 2026Open Access

Tryptophan metabolism mediated by the gut microbiota inhibits pyroptosis via the AhR signaling pathway to maintain intestinal epithelial homeostasis

Key Points

Investigate how tryptophan metabolism and gut microbiota affect pyroptosis and intestinal health.
Targeted regulation of Lactobacillus reuteri
Assessment of tryptophan metabolism
Evaluation of pyroptosis markers
Analysis of intestinal epithelial homeostasis
Inhibition of pyroptosis was observed
Improvement in intestinal epithelial homeostasis was noted
Indicated a potential therapeutic approach using Lactobacillus reuteri

Abstract

Our results provide the first evidence that targeting the regulation of Lactobacillus reuteri and tryptophan metabolism is a promising strategy for inhibiting pyroptosis and improving intestinal epithelial homeostasis.
