Gut microbiota plays a pivotal role in various aspects of host physiology, including metabolism, gastrointestinal (GI) motility and hormonal secretion. In the present study, we investigated the effect of antibiotic-associated dysbiosis on metabolism and GI motility in relation to colonic expression of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and G protein coupled receptor (GPR)43. Specific pathogen-free (SPF) mice (ICR, 6 weeks old, female) were orally administered vancomycin (0.2 mg/ml) in drinking water for 7 days. In another experiment, germ-free (GF) mice (ICR, 6 weeks old, female) were subjected to oral fecal transplantation (FT) using a fecal bacterial suspension prepared from SPF mice that had received vancomycin treatment (FT-V) or one from untreated control SPF mice (FT-C). The gastrointestinal transit time (GITT) was measured by administration of carmine red (6% w/v) solution. The expression of GLP-1 and GPR43 was examined by immunohistochemistry and realtime RT-PCR, and the plasma GLP-1 level was measured by ELISA. In vancomycin-treated SPF mice, the diversity of the gut microbiota was significantly reduced and the abundance of Lactobacillus was markedly increased. Significant increases in body weight, cecum weight, plasma GLP-1 level and colonic GLP-1/GPR43 expression were also noted relative to the controls. These alterations were reproducible in GF mice with FT-V. Moreover, FT-V GF mice showed a significantly increased food intake and a significantly prolonged GITT in comparison with FT-C GF mice. Vancomycin-induced dysbiosis promotes body weight gain and prolongs GITT, accompanied by an increase of colonic GLP-1/GPR43 expression.
肠道微生物群在宿主生理学的各个方面发挥着关键作用,包括代谢、胃肠道 (GI) 运动和激素分泌。在本研究中,我们研究了抗生素相关的菌群失调对代谢和 GI 运动的影响,以及与结肠中胰高血糖素样肽-1 (GLP-1) 和 G 蛋白偶联受体 (GPR)43 的表达有关。使用含 0.2mg/ml 万古霉素的饮用水对无特定病原体 (SPF) 小鼠(ICR,6 周龄,雌性)进行口饲,持续 7 天。在另一个实验中,使用来自接受万古霉素处理的 SPF 小鼠(FT-V)或未处理的对照 SPF 小鼠(FT-C)的粪便细菌混悬液对无菌 (GF) 小鼠(ICR,6 周龄,雌性)进行口服粪便移植 (FT)。通过给予胭脂红(6%w/v)溶液来测量胃肠道转运时间 (GITT)。通过免疫组织化学和实时 RT-PCR 检查 GLP-1 和 GPR43 的表达,并通过 ELISA 测量血浆 GLP-1 水平。在万古霉素处理的 SPF 小鼠中,肠道微生物群的多样性显著降低,而乳酸杆菌的丰度显著增加。与对照组相比,体重、盲肠重量、血浆 GLP-1 水平和结肠 GLP-1/GPR43 表达也显著增加。在接受 FT-V 的 GF 小鼠中也重现了这些改变。此外,与接受 FT-C 的 GF 小鼠相比,FT-V GF 小鼠的食物摄入量显著增加,GITT 显著延长。万古霉素诱导的菌群失调促进体重增加,并延长 GITT,同时结肠 GLP-1/GPR43 表达增加。
