双齿围沙蚕改善便秘小鼠肠道功效及其机制探究

Ameliorative effect of Perinereis aibuhitensis powder on intestinal dysfunction of constipated mice and its underlying mechanisms

  • 摘要: 抗生素滥用会导致病原菌耐药性增强、生物肠道菌群失衡,诱发便秘等胃肠道疾病。因此,安全可持续的饮食干预策略备受关注。本研究旨在探讨双齿围沙蚕 (Perinereis aibuhitensis) 粉改善抗生素诱导的便秘小鼠 (Mus musculus) 肠道功能的作用及机制,为开发新型润肠通便功能食品提供科学依据。利用抗生素混合液 (克拉霉素、头孢氨苄和阿莫西林质量比2∶2∶1) 诱导建立便秘小鼠模型,评估沙蚕粉对小鼠小肠推进率、首粒黑便排出时间、粪便含水率、免疫器官指数、炎症因子、肠道菌群组成和短链脂肪酸 (SCFAs) 含量的影响。结果显示,沙蚕粉显著提高了便秘小鼠的小肠推进率 (p<0.0001),缩短了排便时间 (p<0.001),增加了粪便含水率 (p<0.05)。沙蚕粉干预还明显改善了便秘小鼠的免疫器官指数 (p<0.05),增强了免疫力 (p<0.001)。肠道菌群分析表明,沙蚕粉可增加有益菌 (拟杆菌门和芽孢杆菌门) 的丰度,并提高了短链脂肪酸含量,其中乙酸、丙酸、丁酸含量相对于模型组,干预后分别提高了5.7、61.3和11.5倍。此外,沙蚕粉干预减轻了肠道炎症 (p<0.001),使白细胞介素-1β (IL-1β) 和肿瘤坏死因子-α (TNF-α) 分别降低了35.7%和30.6%。综上,双齿围沙蚕粉可以有效改善便秘小鼠的肠道功能。

     

    Abstract: Misuse of antibiotics leads to enhanced antimicrobial resistance, disruption of gut microbiota balance, and subsequent gastrointestinal disorders including constipation. Thus, safe and sustainable dietary intervention strategies have gained significant attention. In order to explore the improving effects of Perinereis aibuhitensis powder (PAP) on intestinal function in constipated mice (Mus musculus) and elucidate its underlying mechanisms, we established a constipation model in mice by using a mixed antibiotic solution (Clarithromycin, cefalexin, and amoxicillin), followed by evaluations of small intestinal propulsion rate, time to first black stool defecation, fecal water content, immune organ indexes, inflammatory cytokines, gut microbiota composition, and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Results show that the administration of PAP significantly increased the small intestinal propulsion rate (p<0.000 1), shortened the defecation time (p<0.001), and enhanced the fecal water content in constipated mice (p<0.05). PAP intervention also improved the immune organ indexes (p<0.05), indicating immune homeostasis recovery (p<0.001). Gut microbiota analysis shows that PAP increased the abundance of beneficial bacteria (Such as Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes) and raised SCFAs levels, specifically, acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid increased by 5.7, 61.3, and 11.5 times, respectively, compared with the model group. Additionally, the intervention further alleviated intestinal inflammation (p<0.001). After the intervention with PAP, IL-1β decreased by 35.7% and TNF-α decreased by 30.6%. In conclusion, PAP effectively improves intestinal function in constipated mice. The study provides scientific support for developing PAP-based functional foods for bowel regulation and offers new insights for dietary treatment of constipation.
