Abstract
Background: Probiotics, as common regulators of the gut microbiota, have been used in research to alleviate clinical symptoms of atopic dermatitis (AD).
Objective: Our research team has previously identified a potential relieving effect of Clostridium butyricum on the treatment of AD, but the specific mechanism of how Clostridium butyricum alleviates AD has not yet been confirmed.
Methods: In this study, we explored the relieving effect of Clostridium butyricum on AD through in vivo and in vitro experiments. AD mice induced by 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) were orally administered with 1 × 108 CFU of Clostridium butyricum for three consecutive weeks.
Results: Oral administration of Clostridium butyricum reduced ear swelling, alleviated back skin lesions, decreased mast cell and inflammatory cell infiltration, and regulated the levels of inflammation-related cytokines. Clostridium butyricum activated the intestinal immune system through the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway, suppressed the expression of inflammatory factors IL-10 and IL-13, and protected the damaged intestinal mucosa.
Conclusion: Clostridium butyricum administration improved the diversity and abundance of the gut microbiota, enhanced the functionality of the immune system, and protected the epidermal barrier.
期刊介绍:
Technology and Health Care is intended to serve as a forum for the presentation of original articles and technical notes, observing rigorous scientific standards. Furthermore, upon invitation, reviews, tutorials, discussion papers and minisymposia are featured. The main focus of THC is related to the overlapping areas of engineering and medicine. The following types of contributions are considered:
1.Original articles: New concepts, procedures and devices associated with the use of technology in medical research and clinical practice are presented to a readership with a widespread background in engineering and/or medicine. In particular, the clinical benefit deriving from the application of engineering methods and devices in clinical medicine should be demonstrated. Typically, full length original contributions have a length of 4000 words, thereby taking duly into account figures and tables.
2.Technical Notes and Short Communications: Technical Notes relate to novel technical developments with relevance for clinical medicine. In Short Communications, clinical applications are shortly described. 3.Both Technical Notes and Short Communications typically have a length of 1500 words.
Reviews and Tutorials (upon invitation only): Tutorial and educational articles for persons with a primarily medical background on principles of engineering with particular significance for biomedical applications and vice versa are presented. The Editorial Board is responsible for the selection of topics.
4.Minisymposia (upon invitation only): Under the leadership of a Special Editor, controversial or important issues relating to health care are highlighted and discussed by various authors.
5.Letters to the Editors: Discussions or short statements (not indexed).
