Microbiome dysbiosis resulting in altered metabolite profiles may be associated with certain diseases, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), which are characterized by active intestinal inflammation. Several studies have indicated the beneficial anti-inflammatory effect of metabolites from gut microbiota, such as short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and/or D-amino acids in IBD therapy, through orally administered dietary supplements. In the present study, the potential gut protective effects of d-methionine (D-Met) and/or butyric acid (BA) have been investigated in an IBD mouse model. We have also built an IBD mouse model, which was cost-effectively induced with low molecular weight DSS and kappa-carrageenan. Our findings revealed that D-Met and/or BA supplementation resulted in the attenuation of the disease condition as well as the suppression of several inflammation-related gene expressions in the IBD mouse model. The data shown here may suggest a promising therapeutic potential for improving symptoms of gut inflammation with an impact on IBD therapy. However, molecular metabolisms need to be further explored.
肠道微生物失调导致代谢物谱改变可能与某些疾病有关,包括炎症性肠病(IBD),其特征是肠道炎症活跃。几项研究表明,肠道微生物代谢物具有有益的抗炎作用,如短链脂肪酸(SCFAs)和/或 D-氨基酸,可通过口服膳食补充剂用于 IBD 治疗。在本研究中,研究了 D-蛋氨酸(D-Met)和/或丁酸(BA)对 IBD 小鼠模型的潜在肠道保护作用。我们还构建了一种 IBD 小鼠模型,该模型通过低分子量 DSS 和角叉菜胶有效诱导。我们的研究结果表明,D-Met 和/或 BA 补充可减轻疾病状况,并抑制 IBD 小鼠模型中几种与炎症相关的基因表达。这里显示的数据可能表明,通过改善肠道炎症症状,对 IBD 治疗具有潜在的治疗作用。然而,还需要进一步探索分子代谢。
