Accumulating studies have raised concerns about gut dysbiosis associating autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and its related symptoms. However, the effect of gut microbiota modification on the Chinese ASD population and its underlying mechanism were still elusive. Herein, we enrolled 24 ASD children to perform the first course of fresh washed microbiota transplantation (WMT), 18 patients decided to participate the second course, 13 of which stayed to participate the third course, and there were 8 patients at the fourth course. Then we evaluated the effects of fresh WMT on these patients and their related symptoms. Our results found that the sleeping disorder symptom was positively interrelated to ASD, fresh WMT significantly alleviated ASD and its sleeping disorder and constipation symptoms. In addition, WMT stably and continuously downregulated Bacteroides/Flavonifractor/Parasutterella while upregulated Prevotella_9 to decrease toxic metabolic production and improve detoxification by regulating glycolysis/myo-inositol/D-glucuronide/D-glucarate degradation, L-1,2-propanediol degradation, fatty acid β-oxidation. Thus, our results suggested that fresh WMT moderated gut microbiome to improve the behavioral and sleeping disorder symptoms of ASD via decrease toxic metabolic production and improve detoxification. Which thus provides a promising gut ecological strategy for ASD children and its related symptoms treatments.
越来越多的研究引发了人们对肠道菌群失调与自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)及其相关症状之间关联的担忧。然而,肠道微生物群调节对中国ASD人群的影响及其潜在机制仍不清楚。在此,我们招募了24名ASD儿童进行首个疗程的新鲜洗肠微生物群移植(WMT),18名患者决定参加第二个疗程,其中13名留下来参加第三个疗程,第四个疗程有8名患者。然后我们评估了新鲜WMT对这些患者及其相关症状的影响。我们的结果发现,睡眠障碍症状与ASD呈正相关,新鲜WMT显著缓解了ASD及其睡眠障碍和便秘症状。此外,WMT稳定且持续地下调拟杆菌属/黄酮分解菌属/副萨特氏菌属,同时上调普氏菌属9,以减少有毒代谢产物的产生,并通过调节糖酵解/肌醇/D-葡糖醛酸/D-葡糖二酸降解、L-1,2-丙二醇降解、脂肪酸β-氧化来改善解毒作用。因此,我们的结果表明,新鲜WMT通过减少有毒代谢产物的产生和改善解毒作用来调节肠道微生物群,从而改善ASD的行为和睡眠障碍症状。这为ASD儿童及其相关症状的治疗提供了一种有前景的肠道生态策略。
