Effect of Bacillus licheniformis preparation on hepatic steatosis and intestinal mucosal barrier function in a rat model of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
-
摘要:
目的 通过建立非酒精性脂肪性肝病（NAFLD）大鼠模型，探讨地衣芽孢杆菌制剂对大鼠肝组织病理学及肠黏膜屏障功能的影响。 方法 将30只雄性SD大鼠随机分为正常对照组（Control组，n=5）、模型组（Mod组，n=15）、地衣芽孢杆菌低剂量组（BLL组，n=5）和地衣芽孢杆菌高剂量组（BLH组，n=5）。Control组给予普通饲料喂养，Mod组、BLL组、BLH组给予高脂饲料喂养16周，其中BLL组、BLH组在高脂饲料喂养8周后，分别予地衣芽孢杆菌制剂灌胃2.5×107 CFU/kg、5.0×107 CFU/kg，每天1次，持续8周。8周干预结束后，检测大鼠血清ALT、AST、TC、TG、空腹血糖（FPG）、超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）、过氧化氢酶（CAT）、丙二醛（MDA）、IL-6、IL-1β和TNF-α水平。HE染色观察肝组织病理学改变并根据NAFLD活动度积分（NAS）评分。透射电镜下观察肠黏膜紧密连接结构。免疫组化染色观察肠黏膜肌球蛋白轻链激酶（MLCK）的表达。实时定量PCR检测肠黏膜MLCK的mRNA水平。高通量16S rRNA测序法分析肠道菌群组成。采用单因素方差分析进行多组间比较，多重比较采用Bonferroni法。 结果 与Mod组相比，BLH组和BLL组大鼠血清ALT、AST、TC、TG、FPG、IL-1β及TNF-α水平降低，SOD水平升高，肝细胞脂肪变减轻，NAS评分降低，肠黏膜紧密连接结构恢复，MLCK蛋白及mRNA表达水平降低，差异均有统计学意义（P值均<0.05）。此外，BLH组较Mod组CAT水平升高，MDA及IL-6水平下降，差异均有统计学意义（P值均<0.05）。与BLL组相比，BLH组大鼠血清MDA、IL-6、TNF-α水平降低，CAT水平升高，肠黏膜MLCK蛋白及mRNA表达水平降低，差异均有统计学意义（P值均<0.05）。肠道菌群示BLH组和BLL组厚壁菌门和拟杆菌门的相对丰度均较Mod组有所恢复，且BLH组厚壁菌门和拟杆菌门的相对丰度更接近Control组。 结论 地衣芽孢杆菌制剂可有效减轻NAFLD大鼠的肝脂肪变性，其作用机制可能与下调肠黏膜MLCK蛋白的表达水平、改善肠黏膜紧密连接结构有关。 Abstract:Objective To investigate the effects of Bacillus licheniformis on liver histopathology and intestinal mucosal barrier function in rats with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease（NAFLD）. Methods A total of 30 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group （Control group with 5 rats）， model group （Mod group with 15 rats）， low-dose Bacillus licheniformis group （BLL group with 5 rats）， and high-dose Bacillus licheniformis group （BLH group with 5 rats）. The rats in the Control group were fed with normal diet， and those in the Mod， BLL， and BLH groups were fed with high-fat diet for 16 weeks； after 8 weeks of feeding with high-fat diet， the rats in the BLL and BLH groups were given Bacillus licheniformis preparation by gavage once a day for 8 consecutive weeks at a dose of 2.5×107 CFU/kg and 5.0×107 CFU/kg， respectively. The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， fasting plasma glucose （FPG）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）， catalase （CAT）， malondialdehyde （MDA）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） were measured after the 8 weeks of intervention； HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of rat liver， and NAFLD activity score （NAS） was used for scoring； transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the tight junction of the intestinal mucosa； immunohistochemical staining was used to measure the expression of myosin light chain kinase （MLCK） in intestinal mucosa， and quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the mRNA expressional level of MLCK in intestinal mucosa； high-throughput 16S rRNA sequencing was used to analyze the composition of intestinal microbiota. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between groups， and the Bonferroni method was used for multiple comparisons. Results Compared with the Mod group， the BLH and BLL groups had significant reductions in the serum levels of ALT， AST， TC， TG， FPG， IL-1β， and TNF-α， a significant increase in the level of SOD， significant alleviation of hepatocyte steatosis， a significant reduction in NAS score， recovery of the tight junction of intestinal mucosa， and significant reductions in the protein and mRNA expression levels of MLCK （all P<0.05）. In addition， compared with the Mod group， the BLH group had a significant increase in CAT and significant reductions in MDA and IL-6 （all P<0.05）. Compared with the BLL group， the BLH group had significant reductions in the serum levels of MDA， IL-6， and TNF-α and a significant increase in CAT， as well as significant reductions in the protein and mRNA expression levels of MLCK （all P<0.05）. The analysis of intestinal microbiota showed that compared with the Mod group， the BLH and BLL groups had recovery of the relative abundances of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes， and the relative abundances of Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes in the BLH group were closer to those in the Control group. Conclusion Bacillus licheniformis preparation can effectively alleviate hepatic steatosis in NAFLD rats， possibly by downregulating the expression level of MLCK and improving the tight junction structure of intestinal mucosa. -
