The aim of this study was to determine the effects of long-term Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) treatment on modulating gut microbiota diversity and composition, as well as its association with intestinal barrier function. In this study, C57BL/6J mice were fed different concentrations of NMN, and their feces were collected for detection of 16S rDNA and non-targeted metabolites to explore the effects of NMN on intestinal microbiota and metabolites. The results revealed that NMN increased the abundance of butyric acid-producing bacteria (Ruminococcae_UCG-014 and Prevotellaceae_NK3B31_group) and other probiotics (Akkermansia muciniphila), while the abundance of several harmful bacteria (Bilophila and Oscillibacter) were decreased after NMN treatment. Meanwhile, the level of bile acid-related metabolites in feces from the G1 group (0.1 mg/ml) was significantly increased compared to the control group, including cholic acid, taurodeoxycholic acid, taurocholic acid, glycocholic acid, and tauro-β-muricholic acid. In addition, long-term NMN treatment affected the permeability of the intestinal mucosa. The number of goblet cells and mucus thickness increased, as well as expression of tight junction protein. These results demonstrate that NMN reduced intestinal mucosal permeability and exerts a protective effect on the intestinal tract. This study lays the foundation for exploring NMN's utility in clinical research.
本研究的目的是确定长期烟酰胺单核苷酸(NMN)治疗对调节肠道微生物群多样性和组成的影响,以及其与肠道屏障功能的关联。在本研究中,给C57BL/6J小鼠喂食不同浓度的NMN,并收集它们的粪便用于检测16S rDNA和非靶向代谢物,以探索NMN对肠道微生物群和代谢物的影响。结果显示,NMN增加了产丁酸细菌(瘤胃球菌_UCG-014和普雷沃氏菌科_NK3B31组)和其他益生菌(嗜黏蛋白阿克曼氏菌)的丰度,而NMN处理后几种有害细菌(嗜胆菌属和颤杆菌属)的丰度降低。同时,与对照组相比,G1组(0.1 mg/ml)粪便中胆汁酸相关代谢物的水平显著升高,包括胆酸、牛磺去氧胆酸、牛磺胆酸、甘氨胆酸和牛磺-β-鼠胆酸。此外,长期NMN治疗影响肠黏膜的通透性。杯状细胞数量和黏液厚度增加,紧密连接蛋白的表达也增加。这些结果表明,NMN降低了肠黏膜通透性,并对肠道发挥保护作用。本研究为探索NMN在临床研究中的效用奠定了基础。
