Esomeprazole, a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), is commonly prescribed for gastric-acid-related disorders but has been associated with impaired gastrointestinal (GI) motility with long-term use. However, the effect of concurrent antibiotic administration on this dysfunction remains unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of antibiotics on esomeprazole-induced GI motility dysfunction and explore the underlying mechanisms in a mouse model. Male C57BL/6 mice were orally administered esomeprazole (160 mg/kg) five times per week for 4 weeks. Three days before initiating esomeprazole treatment, a broad-spectrum antibiotic cocktail (ABX) consisting of ampicillin (1 g/kg), neomycin (1 g/kg), metronidazole (1 g/kg), and vancomycin (0.5 g/kg) was provided in drinking water and maintained throughout the experimental period. Mosapride (3 mg/kg), a prokinetic agent, was used as a positive control. Neither esomeprazole alone nor in combination with ABX affected body weight or food intake. Compared to normal controls, esomeprazole treatment significantly delayed both intestinal transit and gastric emptying. However, ABX co-administration further pronounced intestinal transit time and improved gastric motility. The potential mechanisms may involve interactions among gastric H/K-ATPase, CYP3A11, gastrointestinal hormones (secretin and motilin), and the gut microbiome. Long-term esomeprazole use can impair both gastric and intestinal motility, and ABX co-treatment further exacerbates intestinal transit delay while paradoxically enhancing gastric emptying. These findings highlight the critical role of the gut microbiota in esomeprazole-induced GI motility dysfunction and suggest that antibiotic use should be approached with caution, particularly when combined with PPI therapy.
埃索美拉唑是一种质子泵抑制剂(PPI),常用于治疗胃酸相关疾病,但长期使用与胃肠(GI)动力受损有关。然而,同时使用抗生素对这种功能障碍的影响仍不清楚。因此,本研究旨在探讨抗生素对埃索美拉唑诱导的胃肠动力功能障碍的影响,并在小鼠模型中探索其潜在机制。雄性C57BL/6小鼠每周口服5次埃索美拉唑(160mg/kg),持续4周。在开始埃索美拉唑治疗前3天,在饮用水中提供由氨苄青霉素(1g/kg)、新霉素(1g/kg)、甲硝唑(1g/kg)和万古霉素(0.5g/kg)组成的广谱抗生素混合物(ABX),并在整个实验期间持续提供。促动力剂莫沙必利(3mg/kg)用作阳性对照。单独使用埃索美拉唑或与ABX联合使用均不影响体重或食物摄入量。与正常对照组相比,埃索美拉唑治疗显著延迟了肠道转运和胃排空。然而,联合使用ABX进一步延长了肠道转运时间并改善了胃动力。潜在机制可能涉及胃H/K-ATP酶、CYP3A11、胃肠激素(促胰液素和胃动素)和肠道微生物群之间的相互作用。长期使用埃索美拉唑会损害胃和肠道动力,联合使用ABX会进一步加剧肠道转运延迟,同时反常地增强胃排空。这些发现突出了肠道微生物群在埃索美拉唑诱导的胃肠动力功能障碍中的关键作用,并表明使用抗生素应谨慎,特别是与PPI疗法联合使用时。
