摘要
背景:粪便微生物群移植被提出作为治疗酒精使用障碍的替代疗法,并已完成1期临床试验,2期临床试验正在进行中。根据世界卫生组织的数据,酒精是非传染性疾病的可改变风险因素,2016年导致全球约300万人死亡(5% %)。目的:一篇叙述性综合研究了酒精和粪便微生物群移植对肠道微生物群的影响,以及肠道微生物群如何影响肠-脑轴,导致酒精使用障碍的某些行为症状。这些行为症状是人类对酒精的渴望和复发;以及啮齿动物对酒精的偏好、焦虑和抑郁。检索方法和结果:于2024年1月检索PubMed、Embase和Scopus电子数据库,检索词为:粪便微生物群trans*和alcohol and microbio*。964项研究中有10项符合已发表的以粪便微生物群移植作为干预研究酒精使用障碍肠-脑轴的初步研究的纳入标准。结果:酒精使用障碍患者肠道菌群发生改变,可通过粪便菌群移植进行改变。行为症状如嗜酒和复发与肠道屏障功能丧失引起的炎症有关。有益的微生物群产生短链脂肪酸,维持肠道屏障功能,减少炎症。研究还报告了alcohol-naïve啮齿动物在酒精使用障碍患者的粪便微生物群移植后出现焦虑和抑郁样行为,以及对酒精的偏好。结论:粪便菌群移植可能通过改变肠道菌群、影响肠道通透性和炎症来缓解酒精使用障碍的行为症状,但具体的肠道菌群组成和长期治疗效果需要进一步的临床研究。
Therapeutic potential of faecal microbiota transplantation for alcohol use disorder, a narrative synthesis
Background
Faecal microbiota transplantation is proposed as an alternative therapy to treat alcohol use disorder and has completed a Phase 1 clinical trial, with a Phase 2 clinical trial underway. Alcohol, a modifiable risk factor for noncommunicable diseases, resulted in approximately 3 million global deaths (5 %) in 2016 according to the World Health Organization.
Aims
A narrative synthesis examines the effects of alcohol and faecal microbiota transplantation on gut microbiota and how gut microbiota impacts the gut-brain axis, leading to certain behavioural symptoms of alcohol use disorder. These behavioural symptoms are alcohol craving and relapse in humans; and preference for alcohol, anxiety and depression in rodents.
Search methods and results
Electronic databases PubMed, Embase, and Scopus were searched in January 2024 using the terms: faecal microbiota trans* AND alcohol AND microbio*. Ten studies out of 964 met the inclusion criteria of published primary studies with faecal microbiota transplantation as an intervention to study the gut-brain axis in alcohol use disorder.
Results
The gut microbiota is altered in alcohol use disorder, which can be modified with faecal microbiota transplantation. Behavioural symptoms such as alcohol craving and relapse are associated with inflammation due to a loss of intestinal barrier function. Beneficial microbiota produce short-chain fatty acids that maintain intestinal barrier function and reduce inflammation. Studies also reported anxiety and depression-like behaviours, in addition to a preference for alcohol in alcohol-naïve rodents after faecal microbiota transplantation from patients with alcohol use disorder.
Conclusions
Faecal microbiota transplantation may moderate the behavioural symptoms of alcohol use disorder by altering gut microbiota, affecting intestinal permeability and inflammation, however, specific gut microbiota composition and long-term treatment outcomes require further clinical studies.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry is an international and multidisciplinary journal which aims to ensure the rapid publication of authoritative reviews and research papers dealing with experimental and clinical aspects of neuro-psychopharmacology and biological psychiatry. Issues of the journal are regularly devoted wholly in or in part to a topical subject.
Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry does not publish work on the actions of biological extracts unless the pharmacological active molecular substrate and/or specific receptor binding properties of the extract compounds are elucidated.
