Grape Impact on Human Gut Microbiome

torstai 27. elokuuta 2026 päivittänyt: Gang Fang, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

High-Resolution Assessment of California Table Grape Consumption on the Human Gut Microbiome-Immune Axis

This is a bio-specimen analysis and dietary intervention study that will examine whether the daily consumption of California table grape powder significantly modulates the gut microbiome and systemic immune profiles in healthy adults. The primary objective is to characterize longitudinal changes in microbial strains, metabolites, and immune markers following a 4-week grape intervention compared to a placebo. Methods include a screening of up to 300 individuals to evaluate pre-specified microbiome eligibility criteria, followed by a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group design where up to 40 participants will provide fecal and blood samples for high-resolution metagenomic sequencing and LC-MS/MS metabolomics at baseline, mid-study, and post-washout. Participants who meet the microbiome screening and other study eligibility criteria may be invited to participate in the intervention phase; participation in the screening phase does not guarantee enrollment in the intervention phase.

Yksityiskohtainen kuvaus

The human gut microbiome consists of trillions of microorganisms that are essential to host metabolism, immune system regulation, and the maintenance of disease resistance. Recent findings indicate that dietary changes can rapidly and significantly alter the composition of these microbial communities, leading to substantial effects on the host's overall physiology. Foods rich in polyphenols are highly effective at modulating this environment because they possess selective antimicrobial properties and exert beneficial prebiotic effects on the resident microbiota.

Polyphenol-rich foods beneficially modulate the human gut microbiome with downstream metabolic and immune effects. California table grapes contain a complex mixture of phenolics, resveratrol, flavans, flavonols, and anthocyanins, making them ideal candidates for investigating gastrointestinal and immune health. However, previous grape-microbiome studies have been limited by small sample sizes (n=21-29), short durations (2 weeks), low-resolution microbiome technologies (16S profiling), and failure to measure corresponding inflammatory or immune biomarkers.

This project will first conduct a microbiome screening phase in up to 300 healthy adults to identify individuals who meet pre-specified microbiome and other study eligibility criteria. Eligible individuals may then be invited to participate in a rigorous, multi-omic pilot study using standardized freeze-dried grape powder to determine how daily grape consumption modulates the gut microbiome-immune axis in up to 40 healthy adults. The study team will employ state-of-the-art metagenomic sequencing to achieve high-resolution microbiome profiling; metabolomic analysis; and immune biomarker profiling to assess gastrointestinal inflammation.

Specific Aims

Overarching Goal: To build on our unique expertise in high-resolution microbiome analyses to conduct a rigorous, multi-omic pilot study determining how daily consumption of California table grape powder modulates the human gut microbiome-immune axis in healthy adults.

Hypothesis: Compared to a placebo, daily consumption of California table grape powder will beneficially modulate the gut microbiome by: (1) altering microbial composition; (2) shifting the fecal metabolome to increase grape-derived and microbial-derived anti-inflammatory compounds; and (3) reducing baseline biomarkers of gastrointestinal inflammation.
