To investigate the effects of berberine (BBR) as a treatment on intestinal microecological alterations and enteritis in mice produced by TNBS.
There were seven mice per group: seven in the healthy group (Ctrl), seven in the TNBS-induced enteritis group (TNBS), and seven in the berberine treatment group (BBR). The mice were weighed, slaughtered after 7 days, and subjected to high-throughput intestinal microecological analysis by Illumina, as well as haematological detection and imaging evaluation of colon pathology.
The alterations in colon length, immune cell subpopulations, inflammatory factors, and intestinal microecology of mice induced by BBR were refined using a battery of experiments and observations. According to intestinal microecological studies, BBR can increase the number of bacteria, including , , , and .
BBR has a therapeutic effect on TNBS-induced colitis in mice, which is associated with modifications in immune cell subpopulations and intestinal microecology. It also offers a viable approach as a prospective probiotic (like ) to IBD therapy in clinical settings.
研究小檗碱（BBR）对三硝基苯磺酸（TNBS）诱导的小鼠肠道微生态改变和肠炎的治疗作用。
每组7只小鼠：健康组（Ctrl）7只、TNBS诱导的肠炎组（TNBS）7只、小檗碱治疗组（BBR）7只。对小鼠称重，7天后处死，采用Illumina进行高通量肠道微生态分析，并进行血液学检测和结肠病理学成像评估。
通过一系列实验和观察，明确了BBR诱导的小鼠结肠长度、免疫细胞亚群、炎症因子和肠道微生态的改变。根据肠道微生态研究，BBR可增加包括[具体细菌种类未给出]、[具体细菌种类未给出]、[具体细菌种类未给出]和[具体细菌种类未给出]在内的细菌数量。
BBR对TNBS诱导的小鼠结肠炎具有治疗作用，这与免疫细胞亚群和肠道微生态的改变有关。它还为临床环境中炎症性肠病（IBD）的治疗提供了一种可行的方法，作为一种潜在的益生菌（如[未明确的类似物]）。
