Milk oligosaccharides (MO) selectively increase the growth of Bifidobacterium infantis (B. infantis). This study examines the effects of bovine MO and B. infantis in preventing nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) in Western diet (WD)-fed bile acid (BA) receptor FXR (farnesoid x receptor) knockout (KO) mice. WD-fed FXR KO mice have cancer-prone NASH and reduced B. infantis. MO and/or B. infantis supplementation improved their insulin sensitivity and reduced hepatic inflammation. Additionally, B. infantis, but not MO, decreased hepatic triglyceride and cholesterol. A combination of both further reduced hepatic cholesterol, the precursor of BAs. All three treatments modulated serum and hepatic BA profile. Moreover, B. infantis and MO decreased hepatic CYP7A1 and induced Sult2a1, Sult2a2, and Sult2a3 suggesting reduced BA synthesis and increased detoxification. Furthermore, B. infantis and MO increased ileal BA membrane receptor TGR5-regulated signaling. Together, via BA-regulated signaling, synbiotics B. infantis and MO have their unique and combined effects in reversing NASH.
牛奶低聚糖(MO)选择性地增加婴儿双歧杆菌(B. infantis)的生长。本研究探讨了牛 MO 和 B. infantis 在预防西方饮食(WD)喂养的胆汁酸(BA)受体法尼醇 X 受体(FXR)敲除(KO)小鼠非酒精性脂肪性肝炎(NASH)中的作用。WD 喂养的 FXR KO 小鼠易患癌症的 NASH 和减少的 B. infantis。MO 和/或 B. infantis 补充改善了它们的胰岛素敏感性并减少了肝炎症。此外,B. infantis 但不是 MO,降低了肝甘油三酯和胆固醇。两者的组合进一步降低了肝脏胆固醇,BA 的前体。这三种治疗方法都调节了血清和肝脏 BA 谱。此外,B. infantis 和 MO 降低了肝 CYP7A1 并诱导了 Sult2a1、Sult2a2 和 Sult2a3,表明 BA 合成减少和解毒增加。此外,B. infantis 和 MO 增加了回肠 BA 膜受体 TGR5 调节的信号转导。总之,通过 BA 调节的信号转导,合生元 B. infantis 和 MO 在逆转 NASH 方面具有独特和联合的作用。
