: BDE-47, a pervasive environmental pollutant detected in >90% of human serum samples, is increasingly linked to metabolic disorders. This study investigates the specific impact of BDE-47 exposure on the gut microbiota in prediabetic mice and evaluates the efficacy of therapeutic interventions in mitigating these effects. : To determine whether BDE-47 exposure induces diabetogenic dysbiosis in prediabetic mice and to assess whether dietary interventions, such as grape exosomes and an antioxidant cocktail, can restore a healthy microbiota composition and mitigate diabetes risk. : In this study, a prediabetic mouse model was established in 54 male SPF-grade C57BL/6J mice through a combination of high-sugar and high-fat diet feeding with streptozotocin injection. Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) were conducted on day 7 and day 21 post-modeling to assess the establishment of the model. The criteria for successful model induction were defined as fasting blood glucose levels below 7.8 mmol/L and 2 h postprandial glucose levels between 7.8 and 11.1 mmol/L. Following confirmation of model success, a 3 × 3 factorial design was applied to allocate the experimental animals into groups based on two independent factors: BDE-47 exposure and exosome intervention. The BDE-47 exposure factor consisted of three dose levels-none, high-dose, and medium-dose-while the exosome intervention factor included three modalities-none, Antioxidant Nutrients Intervention, and Grape Exosomes Intervention. Fresh fecal samples were collected from mice two days prior to sacrifice. Cecal contents and segments of the small intestine were collected and transferred into 1.5 mL cryotubes. All sequences were clustered into operational taxonomic units (OTUs) based on defined similarity thresholds. To compare means across multiple groups, a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed. The significance level was predefined at α = 0.05, and -values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Bar charts and line graphs were generated using GraphPad Prism version 9.0 software, while statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 20.0 software. : The results of 16S rDNA sequencing analysis of the microbiome showed that there was no difference in the α diversity of the intestinal microbiota in each group of mice ( > 0.05), but there was a difference in the Beta diversity ( < 0.05). At the gate level, the abundances of , , , and in the medium-dose BDE-7 group were higher than those in the model control group ( < 0.05). The abundance of was lower than that of the model control group ( < 0.05). The abundances of and in the high-dose BDE-7 group were higher than those in the model control group ( < 0.05). The abundance of and was lower than that of the model control group ( < 0.05), while the abundance of in the grape exosome group was higher than that of the model control group ( < 0.05). The abundance of was lower than that of the model control group ( < 0.05), while the abundance of Firmicutes and in the antioxidant nutrient group was higher than that of the model control group ( < 0.05). However, the abundance of and was lower than that of the model control group ( < 0.05). At the genus level, the abundances of and unclassified in the high-dose BDE-7 group were higher than those in the model control group ( < 0.05). The abundance of NK4A136_group and was lower than that of the model control group ( < 0.05). The abundance of Veillonella and Helicobacter in the medium-dose BDE-7 group was higher than that in the model control group ( < 0.05), while the abundance of Lactobacillus was lower ( < 0.05). The abundance of genera such as and in the grape exosome group was higher than that in the model control group ( < 0.05). The abundance of and Bacteroides was lower than that of the model control group ( < 0.05). In the antioxidant nutrient group, the abundance of and was higher than that in the model control group ( < 0.05). However, the abundance of and UCG-002 was significantly lower than that of the model control group ( < 0.05). : BDE-47 induces diabetogenic dysbiosis in prediabetic mice, which is reversible by dietary interventions. These findings suggest that microbiota-targeted strategies may effectively mitigate the diabetes risk associated with environmental pollutant exposure. Future studies should further explore the mechanisms underlying these microbiota changes and the long-term health benefits of such interventions.
BDE - 47是一种在90%以上的人体血清样本中都能检测到的普遍存在的环境污染物,它与代谢紊乱的关联日益增加。本研究调查了BDE - 47暴露对糖尿病前期小鼠肠道微生物群的具体影响,并评估了治疗性干预措施在减轻这些影响方面的效果。:确定BDE - 47暴露是否会在糖尿病前期小鼠中诱发致糖尿病的生态失调,并评估饮食干预措施,如葡萄外泌体和抗氧化剂鸡尾酒,是否能恢复健康的微生物群组成并降低糖尿病风险。:在本研究中,通过高糖高脂饮食喂养结合链脲佐菌素注射,在54只雄性SPF级C57BL / 6J小鼠中建立了糖尿病前期小鼠模型。在建模后的第7天和第21天进行口服葡萄糖耐量试验(OGTT),以评估模型的建立情况。成功诱导模型的标准定义为空腹血糖水平低于7.8 mmol/L,餐后2小时血糖水平在7.8至11.1 mmol/L之间。在确认模型成功后,采用3×3析因设计,根据两个独立因素将实验动物分组:BDE - 47暴露和外泌体干预。BDE - 47暴露因素包括三个剂量水平——无、高剂量和中剂量,而外泌体干预因素包括三种方式——无、抗氧化营养素干预和葡萄外泌体干预。在处死小鼠前两天收集新鲜粪便样本。收集盲肠内容物和小肠段并转移到1.5 mL冷冻管中。所有序列根据定义的相似性阈值聚类为操作分类单元(OTU)。为了比较多组均值,采用双向方差分析(ANOVA)。显著性水平预先定义为α = 0.05,P值<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。使用GraphPad Prism 9.0软件生成柱状图和折线图,而使用SPSS 20.0软件进行统计分析。:微生物组的16S rDNA测序分析结果表明,每组小鼠肠道微生物群的α多样性没有差异(P>0.05),但β多样性存在差异(P < 0.05)。在门水平上,中剂量BDE - 7组中拟杆菌门、厚壁菌门、放线菌门和变形菌门的丰度高于模型对照组(P < 0.05)。蓝细菌门的丰度低于模型对照组(P < 0.05)。高剂量BDE - 7组中变形菌门和放线菌门的丰度高于模型对照组(P < 0.05)。拟杆菌门和蓝细菌门的丰度低于模型对照组(P < 0.05),而葡萄外泌体组中放线菌门丰度高于模型对照组(P < 0.05)。蓝细菌门丰度低于模型对照组(P < 0.05),而抗氧化营养素组中厚壁菌门和放线菌门丰度高于模型对照组(P < 0.05)。然而,拟杆菌门和UCG - 002丰度显著低于模型对照组(P < 0.05)。:在属水平上,高剂量BDE - 7组中埃希氏菌属和未分类的norank_f__Muribaculaceae丰度高于模型对照组(P < 0.05)。NK4A136_group和脱硫弧菌属丰度低于模型对照组(P < 0.05)。中剂量BDE - 7组中韦荣球菌属和螺杆菌属丰度高于模型对照组(P < 0.05),而乳酸杆菌属丰度较低(P < 0.05)。葡萄外泌体组中诸如双歧杆菌属和阿克曼菌属等属的丰度高于模型对照组(P < 0.05)。普雷沃氏菌属和拟杆菌属丰度低于模型对照组(P < 0.05)。在抗氧化营养素组中,双歧杆菌属和阿克曼菌属丰度高于模型对照组(P < 0.05)。然而,普雷沃氏菌属和UCG - 002丰度显著低于模型对照组(P < 0.05)。:BDE - 47在糖尿病前期小鼠中诱发致糖尿病的生态失调,饮食干预可使其逆转。这些发现表明,针对微生物群的策略可能有效降低与环境污染物暴露相关的糖尿病风险。未来的研究应进一步探索这些微生物群变化的潜在机制以及此类干预措施对长期健康的益处。
