Show abstract
Prenatal opioid exposure disrupts gut homeostasis and causes gastrointestinal complications in offspring, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Here using a murine model of prenatal hydromorphone exposure, we examined gut microbiota, intestinal injury, transcriptomic signatures, and chromatin accessibility. Exposed pups displayed marked dysbiosis, epithelial damage, and upregulation of inflammatory gene programs accompanied by relaxed ileal chromatin. Cross-fostering to opioid-naive dams restored microbial diversity, reestablished metabolite-producing taxa, and reversed injury-associated transcriptional and chromatin changes. Fecal microbiota transplantation from exposed dams recapitulated intestinal injury, indicating a microbiome-driven mechanism. These findings reveal a novel gut-microbiome-epigenome axis underlying opioid-induced injury and highlight early microbial intervention as a potential strategy to mitigate developmental harm.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
