The intestinal barrier is a structure that prevents harmful substances, such as bacteria and endotoxins, from penetrating the intestinal wall and entering human tissues, organs, and microcirculation. It can separate colonizing microbes from systemic tissues and prevent the invasion of pathogenic bacteria. Pathological conditions such as shock, trauma, stress, and inflammation damage the intestinal barrier to varying degrees, aggravating the primary disease. Intestinal probiotics are a type of active microorganisms beneficial to the health of the host and an essential element of human health. Reportedly, intestinal probiotics can affect the renewal of intestinal epithelial cells, and also make cell connections closer, increase the production of tight junction proteins and mucins, promote the development of the immune system, regulate the release of intestinal antimicrobial peptides, compete with pathogenic bacteria for nutrients and living space, and interact with the host and intestinal commensal flora to restore the intestinal barrier. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of how intestinal probiotics restore the intestinal barrier to provide new ideas for treating intestinal injury-related diseases.
肠道屏障是一种防止细菌和内毒素等有害物质穿透肠壁并进入人体组织、器官和微循环的结构。它能将定植微生物与全身组织分隔开,防止病原菌入侵。休克、创伤、应激和炎症等病理状况会不同程度地损害肠道屏障,加重原发性疾病。肠道益生菌是一类对宿主健康有益的活性微生物,是人类健康的重要要素。据报道,肠道益生菌可影响肠上皮细胞的更新,还能使细胞连接更紧密,增加紧密连接蛋白和黏蛋白的产生,促进免疫系统发育,调节肠道抗菌肽的释放,与病原菌竞争营养物质和生存空间,并与宿主及肠道共生菌群相互作用以恢复肠道屏障。在本综述中,我们全面概述了肠道益生菌如何恢复肠道屏障,为治疗肠道损伤相关疾病提供新思路。
