摘要:

探讨川芎多糖对小鼠免疫调节及肠道菌群的影响。通过实验制备川芎多糖,并分析其化学组成。选用雄性昆明小鼠,以腹腔注射环磷酰胺诱导免疫抑制模型,给予川芎多糖干预12 d后,测定血清溶血素等免疫功能相关指标,并采用16S rRNA基因高通量测序技术测定肠道菌群的物种组成、丰度及多样性。同时结合生物信息学分析方法,深入探究肠道菌群群落结构的代谢通路、相关性分析等。川芎多糖分子量处于45.0~220.0 kDa区间,可能具有免疫活性。进一步实验表明,与免疫抑制模型组小鼠相比,川芎多糖给药组小鼠单核-巨噬细胞吞噬功能增强、血清溶血素含量升高、脾脏指数和胸腺指数均显著改善,呈现出有利于免疫平衡的调节趋势。此外川芎多糖干预组小鼠肠道菌群结构发生显著改变,Lachnospiraceae和Akkermansia等有益菌的相对丰度显著恢复,从多样性指数来看,肠道菌群的丰富度得到有效提升,相关性热图结果提示,这些肠道菌群的变化与小鼠免疫功能改善密切相关。综上所述,川芎多糖免疫调节作用可能与调节肠道菌群结构,进而改善肠道微生态环境有关。

Abstract:

This study delved into the effects of Chuanxiong Rhizoma polysaccharides (CRP) on immune regulation and intestinal flora in mice. CRP was first experimentally prepared and its chemical composition was analyzed. Male Kunming mice were chosen to establish an immunosuppression model through intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide. After 12 days of intervention with CRP, serum hemolysin and other immune function related indexes were determined, and 16S rRNA gene high-throughput sequencing technology was used to determine the species composition, abundance and diversity of intestinal flora. In addition, combined with bioinformatics analysis methods, we further explored the metabolic pathways and correlation analysis of the intestinal flora community structure. The molecular weight of CRP was found to be in the range of 45.0 to 220.0 kDa, suggesting potential immune activity. Further experiments showed that mice treated with CRP improved immune organ index and morphology, serum hemolysin and cytokine levels, as well as macrophage phagocytic function, which pointed to a favorable trend in immune balance regulation. Moreover, the abundance and diversity of intestinal flora partially recovered, as beneficial bacteria, including Lachnospiraceae and Akkermansia, increased in relative abundance. And the richness of intestinal microbiota was effectively improved from the perspective of diversity index. The correlation heatmap results also showd that these changes in intestinal microbiota were closely related to the improvement of immune function in mice. These findings suggest the immunomodulatory effect of CRP may be related to  the regulation of intestinal microbiota structure and the improvement of the intestinal microecological environment.
