INTRODUCTION: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that often leads to organ dysfunction and systemic inflammation, with gut microbiota dysbiosis playing a crucial role in its pathogenesis. The role of (), a potentially pathogenic bacterium, in sepsis remains unclear. METHODS: We first assessed the abundance of in the feces of septic mice and patients using qPCR. Mice were then orally gavaged with (2 × 10 CFU/mouse/day) for 7 consecutive days followed by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) surgery. We monitored survival, assessed organ damage, and measured inflammation. Peritoneal macrophages were isolated to analyze the phosphorylation of key MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways. Finally, oxidative stress levels in the liver, lungs, and kidneys were evaluated, measuring markers such as GSH, CAT, and SOD. RESULTS: The abundance of was significantly increased in the feces of both septic mice and patients. Supplementation with exacerbated sepsis in mice, resulting in lower survival rates, more severe organ damage, and heightened inflammation. Phosphorylation of MAPK and NF-κB pathways in peritoneal macrophages was significantly enhanced. Additionally, amplified oxidative stress across multiple organs, as indicated by increased ROS levels and decreased antioxidant enzyme activity. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that exacerbates the progression of sepsis by enhancing inflammation, activating key immune signaling pathways, and increasing oxidative stress. These processes contribute to organ dysfunction and increased mortality, highlighting the potential pathogenic role of in sepsis.
引言:脓毒症是一种危及生命的病症,常导致器官功能障碍和全身炎症,肠道微生物群失调在其发病机制中起关键作用。()作为一种潜在的致病菌,在脓毒症中的作用仍不清楚。 方法:我们首先使用qPCR评估脓毒症小鼠和患者粪便中()的丰度。然后,小鼠连续7天每天经口灌胃()(2×10 CFU/小鼠/天),随后进行盲肠结扎和穿刺(CLP)手术。我们监测存活率、评估器官损伤并测量炎症指标。分离腹膜巨噬细胞以分析关键的丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)和核因子κB(NF-κB)信号通路的磷酸化情况。最后,评估肝脏、肺和肾脏中的氧化应激水平,测量谷胱甘肽(GSH)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)等标志物。 结果:脓毒症小鼠和患者粪便中()的丰度均显著增加。补充()会加重小鼠的脓毒症,导致存活率降低、器官损伤更严重以及炎症加剧。腹膜巨噬细胞中MAPK和NF-κB信号通路的磷酸化显著增强。此外,()会加剧多个器官的氧化应激,表现为活性氧(ROS)水平升高和抗氧化酶活性降低。 结论:我们的研究结果表明,()通过增强炎症反应、激活关键免疫信号通路和增加氧化应激来加剧脓毒症的进展。这些过程导致器官功能障碍和死亡率增加,突显了()在脓毒症中的潜在致病作用。
