Bacteroides-centric gut dysbiosis reported to exacerbates liver cirrhosis via inflammation and fibrosis, therefore utilizing Bacteroides species as microbiome-based therapeutic logical to mitigate disease progression.
Materials and methods
Feces were collected from 52 Healthy and 144 Liver cirrhosis individuals for V3-V4 dependent 16rRNA-bsed comparative metagenomics analysis, followed a by microbiome depleted and non-depleted DDC mice model to explain the role of Bacteroidetes phylum classified microbial species P. plebeius in liver fibrosis pathophysiological pathways.
Results
Bacteroides presented cirrhosis-dependent decrease in human and animal microbiome, and negatively correlated to key molecular pattern associated with cirrhosis. P. plebeius significantly reduced in abundance and identified as a microbial biomarker for cirrhosis (AUC = 0.73) and treatment with P. plebeius significantly improved the levels of cirrhosis-related phenotypical and biochemical markers in the microbiome-depleted cirrhosis group. P. plebeius decrease the expression of S100a9, CCR1, ADAM8, TREM2, ITGAM, and MYO5A which are primarily responsible for inducing inflammation in liver cirrhosis. P. plebeius downregulated the fibrosis related genes expression including CD51, PLAT, ITGA3, CXCR4, and TGFBR1 and gene related to extracellular matrix formation including COL1A1, LTBP2, S100A6, and SMCO2. Additionally, P. plebeius treatment decreased the expression of hepatotoxicity-related genes including LPL, KRT18, ALDOA, and MCM10, and increased the expression of FABP1 and RDX. Additionally, P. plebeius normalized the expression of genes connected to two pathophysiological process including TIMP4, TGFB3, S100A8, PLSCR1, MMP8, CXCL4, and BMP.
Conclusions
Our study revealed P. plebeius as a multifaceted bio-therapeutic candidate that normalized dysregulated gene expression and reversed hepatic inflammation, fibrogenesis, and hepatotoxicity.
期刊介绍:
Life Sciences is an international journal publishing articles that emphasize the molecular, cellular, and functional basis of therapy. The journal emphasizes the understanding of mechanism that is relevant to all aspects of human disease and translation to patients. All articles are rigorously reviewed.
The Journal favors publication of full-length papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain molecular, cellular and physiological mechanisms. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from the Declaration of Helsinki or NIH guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research. The Journal welcomes reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences. We particularly encourage submission of brief, focused reviews containing high-quality artwork and require the use of mechanistic summary diagrams.
