Besides, XOS and BBC groups enhanced the content of hydroxyphenyl derivatives 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate 1 and 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid, respectively (P less then 0.05). Notably, MIX group enhanced both 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate 1 and 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl) propionic acid (P less then 0.05). Thus, XOS and BBC may have a synergistic role to improve the performance of broilers by modulating gut microbiota and metabolome.Enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) O157 H7 is an important foodborne pathogen that causes human diarrhea, hemorrhagic colitis, and hemolytic uremic syndrome. EspF is one of the most important effector proteins injected by the Type III Secretion System. It can target mitochondria and nucleoli, stimulate host cells to produce ROS, and promote host cell apoptosis. However, the mechanism of the host-pathogen interaction leading to host oxidative stress and cell cytotoxic effects such as DNA damage remains to be elucidated. Here, we used Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) assays and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) ELISA to study cell viability and DNA oxidative damage level after exposure to EspF. Western blot and immunofluorescence were also used to determine the level of the DNA damage target protein p-H2AX and cell morphology changes after EspF infection. Moreover, we verified the toxicity in intestinal epithelial cells mediated by EspF infection in vivo. In addition, we screened the host proteins that interact with EspF using CoIP-MS. We found that EspF may more depend on its C-terminus to interact with SMC1, and EspF could activate SMC1 phosphorylation and migrate it to the cytoplasm. In summary, this study revealed that EspF might mediate host cell DNA damage and found a new interacti
