The dysfunction of gut microbiome and bile acid metabolism might cause the incidence and relapse of ulcerative colitis (UC). Thus, natural products have been considered effective for UC through the regulation of gut microbiome and bile acid. In this study, we evaluated the regulatory effect of berberine on gut microbiome and bile acid metabolism in UC. Results showed that the relative abundances of beneficial bacteria showed a decreasing trend in the UC model, and the taurine conjugated bile acids increased from the liver tissue to the colon tissue. Berberine inhibited the colonization of harmful bacteria and promoted the primary bile acid metabolism. Moreover, we used multi-omics technology (metagenomics, metabolomics, and transcriptomics technology) to reveal that berberine restored the intestinal barrier function through bile acid/S1PR2/RhoA/ROCK pathway. The result of transmission electron microscopy directly showed that the damaged intestinal mucosal barrier was repaired through the berberine treatment. This study revealed the treatment influence on UC through multi-omics technology and models, which provides references for explaining the mechanism of berberine on UC.
肠道微生物群和胆汁酸代谢功能障碍可能导致溃疡性结肠炎(UC)的发生和复发。因此,天然产物被认为可通过调节肠道微生物群和胆汁酸对UC有效。在本研究中,我们评估了小檗碱对UC中肠道微生物群和胆汁酸代谢的调节作用。结果显示,有益菌的相对丰度在UC模型中呈下降趋势,且牛磺酸结合型胆汁酸从肝脏组织到结肠组织增加。小檗碱抑制有害菌的定植并促进初级胆汁酸代谢。此外,我们使用多组学技术(宏基因组学、代谢组学和转录组学技术)揭示小檗碱通过胆汁酸/S1PR2/RhoA/ROCK途径恢复肠道屏障功能。透射电子显微镜结果直接显示,经小檗碱处理后受损的肠黏膜屏障得以修复。本研究通过多组学技术和模型揭示了对UC的治疗影响,为解释小檗碱对UC的作用机制提供了参考。
