The role of the gut microbiome and intestinal barrier in liver diseases

The human gastrointestinal tract is inhabited by almost 100 trillion bacteria, more than 90 % of which belong to the phylotypes Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes. This is about the same as the entire human body contains. The complex network of microbes that inhabit the body regulates its health and is supported by a balance of genetic and dietary factors. For the proper existence and survival of microbial populations in the intestine, a strictly regulated intestinal barrier is required, the violation of which can lead to the systemic spread of microbes and their penetration into the portal bloodstream. The intestinal barrier includes physical, immunological and microbial components. When any aspect of the gut barrier is not working, even bacteria that normally promote health can wreak havoc and contribute to disease and damage. It is known that changes in the intestinal barrier, intestinal permeability, and gut microbiome (GM) are associated with many diseases, including liver pathology. To understand how GM changes can lead to liver disease, a comprehensive understanding of the physiology of the intestinal barrier is required. Because of the close anatomical and physiological relationship between the gut and the liver, there has been a lot of research into how changes in one organ affect another. This review considers the main components of the intestinal barrier and the mechanisms of its pathological changes, including increased intestinal permeability, as well as GM disorders and their role in the pathogenesis of liver diseases, such as alcoholic liver disease, non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease, drug‑induced liver damage, liver cirrhosis. and its complications. Existing and promising therapeutic strategies for modifying GM and the intestinal barrier, which can be used in the treatment of hepatic pathology, are also considered.
