Feces was collected to test the flora number, mucosa lesion was collected to determine the expression of TLR/NK-kB and inflammatory mediators, and serum was collected to detect the levels of inflammatory mediators.Results: Bifidobacterium, lactobacillus acidophilus and bacteroides number in feces of AUC group and RUC group were significantly lower than those of control group while escherichia coli and enterococcus number in feces, TLR2, TLR4, TLR5, TLR9, NK-kB, HMGB1, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-17 mRNA expression in intestinal mucosa lesion as well as HMGB1, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-17 levels in serum were significantly higher than those of control group;bifidobacterium, lactobacillus acidophilus and bacteroides number in feces of AUC group were significantly lower than those of RUC group while escherichia coli and enterococcus number in feces, TLR2, TLR4, TLR5, TLR9, NK-kB, HMGB1, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-17 mRNA expression in intestinal mucosa lesion as well as HMGB1, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-17 levels in serum were significantly higher than those of RUC group;TLR2, TLR4, TLR5, TLR9, NK-kB, HMGB1, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-17 mRNA expression in intestinal mucosa lesion as well as HMGB1, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-17 levels in serum were negatively correlated with bifidobacteria, lactobacillus acidophilus and bacteroides number, and positively correlated with escherichia coli and enterococcus number.Conclusion:The intestinal flora disorder in patients with ulcerative colitis can increase the expression of inflammatory mediators by activating the TLR/NK-kB pathway.展开更多

Methods: A total of 129 sexually mature female SD rats were divided into three groups: non-pregnant group (untreated healthy rats), healthy pregnant group (natural insemination pregnant rats), and pregnant microflora disorder group (pregnant rats were given mixed antibiotics by gavage to build the modeling), with 43 rats in each group. The contents of TG, LDL, HDL and TC were detected by automatic biochemical analyzer, and the contents of SCD1, PGC-1 alpha, PEPCK, ApoE and MTTP genes were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR technology. Regression analysis was used to explore the comprehensive influence of each gene on total cholesterol expression in rats. Principal component analysis was used to explore the internal mechanism of lipid metabolism in pregnant rats with intestinal flora disorder. Results: The contents of TG, TC, LDL and HDL were compared among the three groups of rats and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . The expression levels of related genes (SCD1, PGC-1, PEPCK, ApoE, MTTP) in the three groups were statistically significant (P<0.05) . SCD1 content in the non-pregnant group, healthy pregnancy group, and disordered pregnancy group was (0.92±0.12) μg/mL, (1.20±0.15)μg/mL, and (1.53±0.20) μg/mL, respectively. PGC-1 alpha content in the non-pregnant group, healthy pregnancy group, and disordered pregnancy group was (1.34±0.21) μg/mL, (0.93±0.12) micron /mL, and (0.41±0.08) μg/mL, respectively. PEPCK content in the non-pregnant group, healthy pregnancy group, and disordered pregnancy group was (0.48±0.06) μg/mL, (0.35±0.09)μg/mL, and (0.22±0.05) μg/mL, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05) . Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that the influence of gene content on The effect of each gene content on TC content was in order from large to small: SCD1 (OR=4.572) , PGC-1 (OR=3.387) , PEPCK (OR=3.935) , ApoE (OR=3.597) , MTTP (OR=3.096) . The principal component analysis showed that three principal components could be extracted from five related genes of lipid metabolism in pregnant rats with intestinal dysbiosis: SCD1/PEPCK pathway (contribution rate: 36.28%) , PGC-1 /ApoE pathway (contribution rate: 30.42%) , and MTTP pathway (contribution rate: 15.37%) . Conclusion: After pregnancy, blood lipids in rats are significantly increased while the imbalance of intestinal flora will lead to decreased blood lipids. The disorder of lipid metabolism in pregnant rats with intestinal flora imbalance is mainly related to the disorder of gene expression, which further affects the functions of SCD1/PEPCK, PGC-1 /ApoE and MTTP pathways.展开更多
