Beneficial effects of A. muciniphila and its derivatives supplementation on metabolic diseases.

Viability of
A. muciniphila
Disease Study grouping Daily dose and period of administration A. muciniphila validity conclusions Ref.
A. muciniphila HFD-fed obese mice N = 6, HFD
N = 6, HFD + AKK
① HFD group: PBS
② HFD + AKK group:4.0× 108 CFU AKK
③ 6 weeks of oral administration
↑glucose tolerance
↓adipose tissue inflammation

Heat-killed
A. muciniphila
High-fat, high-
sucrose (HF/HS) diet induced
obese mice
N = 5, HF/HS + AKK
N = 5, HF/HS + H-K-AKK
① HF/HS+AKK group: 1.44 × 109 CFU/0.2 ml AKK;
② HF/HS+ H-K-AKK group: 1.44 × 109 CFU/0.2 ml H-K-AKK;
③ 5 weeks of oral administration.
↓body weight;
↓total body fat;
↑metabolic parameters.

A. muciniphila HFD-fed obese mice N = 4-5, HFD
N = 4-5, HFD + AKK mucin (+)
N = 4-5, HFD + AKK mucin (-)
① HFD group: 0.15 ml sterile anaerobic PBS (containing 25% vol/vol glycerol);
② HFD +AKK mucin (+) group: 1 × 108 CFU/day (AKK grown on mucus-based medium);
③ HFD +AKK mucin (-) group: 1 × 108 CFU/day (AKK grown on mucus-depleted medium);
④ 4 weeks of oral administration.
HFD +AKK mucin (-) group was more
efficiently than HFD +AKK mucin (+) group in aspect of:
↓obesity;
↑barrier integrity.

AmEVs HFD induced a diabetic
phenotype
N = 5–7, ND
N = 5–7, NCD
+ AmEVs
N =5–7, HFD
N = 5–7, HFD + AmEVs
① ND and HFD group: PBS;
② NCD + AmEVs and HFD + AmEVs group:
10 μg per mice AmEVs
③ 2 weeks of oral administration.
AmEVs:
↑: glucose tolerance;
↑: body weight;
↑: intestinal barrier function.

A.muciniphila
HFD induced a diabetic
phenotype
N=11, placebo
N=12, pasteurized AKK
N=9, AKK
① placebo group: placebo;
② pasteurized AKK group: 1*1010 CFU/day/volunteer;
③ 3 months of oral administration.
↓: relevant blood markers of liver dysfunction and inflammation. (73)

Heat killed
A. muciniphila
Atherosclerosis N=8-10, NCD
N=8-10, Western diet (WD)
N=8-10, WD + AKK
N=8-10, WD + heat- killed AKK
① NCD and WD group: 200 µl PBS;
② WD+ AKK and WD+ heat killed AKK group: 5×109 CFU/200 µl;
③ 8 weeks of oral administration.
AKK reversed Western diet–induced exacerbation of atherosclerotic lesion formation without
affecting hypercholesterolemia.

A.muciniphila Fatty Liver Disease N=5, ND + PBS
N=5, ND + AKK
N=5, HFD + PBS
N=5, HFD + AKK
① ND+PBS and HFD+ PBS group: PBS;
② ND+ AKK and HFD+ AKK group: 108 to 109 CFU/ml;
③ 10 weeks of oral administration.
↓: lowered serum triglyceride and alanine aminotransferase levels in obese mice;
↓: the expression of SREBP (regulator of TG synthesis in liver tissue).
(75)
A.muciniphila NASH N=5-8, High-fat and high-cholesterol (HFC)
N=5-8, HFC + AKK
① HFC group: HFC diet+ 200 µl PBS;
② HFC + AKK group: HFC diet + 1 × 108 CFU/ml/200 µl,
③ 6 weeks of oral administration.
↓: Hepatic steatosis/inflammatory
↓: serum ALT/AST/ALP
↓: hepatic genes expression related to steatosis and inflammation

A.muciniphila NASH-induced
cognitive damage
N=8, NC group
N=8, HFHC + PBS
N=8, HFHC +
Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus GG(LGG)
N=8, HFHC + AKK
① ND group: normal chow;
②HFHC + PBS group: HFHC +100 µl PBS;
③HFHC + LGG group: HFHC + 1*109 CFU/100 μl LGG;
④HFHC + AKK group: HFHC + 1*109 CFU/100 μl AKK;
⑤4 weeks of oral administration.
↓: HFHC-induced cognitive
dysfunction (including impaired
spatial working memory and
novel object recognition)
