    摘要:

    通过(autologous fecal microbiota transplantation, AFMT)自体粪菌移植干预,观察氧化偶氮甲烷(azoxymethane, AOM)/葡聚糖硫酸钠(dextran sulfate sodium salt, DSS)诱导的结肠炎相关结直肠癌(colitis-associated colorectal cancer, CAC)小鼠结肠肿瘤情况,探究AFMT通过影响紧密连接蛋白对发挥的抑瘤作用及其机制。方法:SPF级雌性BALB/c小鼠随机分为空白对照组、CAC模型组和AFMT干预组,每组8只。CAC模型组按照10mg/kg腹腔注射AOM1次,连续饮用3.5%DSS7天,连续饮用0%DSS14天,为一个循环,共计三个循环,构建CAC模型;AFMT干预组在构建CAC模型同时给予0.1mL自体菌液隔日灌胃至循环结束;空白对照组无特殊处理。观察小鼠基本情况并记录体质量。实验结束后测量结肠长度和记录肿瘤数目,进行结肠病理学检查,使用Rt-qPCR和Western blotting检测紧密连接蛋Ocln(Occludin)、Cldn1(Claudin-1)的mRNA和蛋白表达水平,同时采用16S rRNA测序技术对各组小鼠粪便样本菌群进行鉴定分析。结果:与空白对照组相比CAC模型组结肠长度明显缩短,肿瘤数目明显增多,差异均有统计学意义。经AFMT干预后,小鼠结肠长度缩短减轻,肿瘤数目减少,差异均有统计学意义。小鼠结肠组织学检查可见CAC模型组结肠隐窝结构扭曲,杯状细胞减少,炎性细胞浸润增加,经AFMT干预后,隐窝结构和杯状细胞有所改善,炎性细胞减少。与空白对照组相比CAC模型组小鼠结直肠肿瘤组织中Ocln(Occludin)、Cldn1(Claudin-1)的mRNA和蛋白表达水平显著降低,经AFMT干预后结直肠肿瘤组织中Ocln(Occludin)、Cldn1(Claudin-1)的mRNA和蛋白表达水平显著上升,差异均有统计学意义。AFMT干预组与空白对照组相比厚壁菌门(Firmicutes)丰度,差异无统计学意义,CAC模型组Firmicutes丰度降低与空白对照组相比差异有统计学意义。AFMT干预组与空白对照组相比拟杆菌门(Bacteroidota)丰度无统计学意义,CAC模型组Bacteroidota丰度增高与空白对照组相比差异有统计学意义。结论:AFMT干预可恢复肠道厚壁菌门丰度,降低拟杆菌门丰度,有效改善肿瘤环境中紧密连接蛋白的异常表达修复肠道屏障,从而调节肠道功能屏障,改善肠道炎症,有效缓解CAC病理进程。

    Abstract:

    To observe the colonic tumor status in mice with azoxymethane/dextran sodium sulfate (AOM/DSS)-induced colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) following autologous fecal microbiota transplantation (AFMT) intervention, and to investigate the anti-tumor effects and underlying mechanism of AFMT through its influence on tight junction proteins. Methods: Female BALB/c mice (SPF grade) were randomly divided into three groups (n=8 each): the Blank Control group, the CAC Model group, and the AFMT Intervention group. The CAC Model group received a single intraperitoneal injection of AOM (10 mg/kg), followed by drinking water containing 3.5% DSS for 7 days, and then 0% DSS for 14 days, constituting one cycle; three cycles were performed to establish the CAC model. The AFMT Intervention group received daily AFMT (0.1 mL autologous fecal suspension) via gavage every other day concurrent with the CAC modeling protocol until cycle completion. The Blank Control group received no special treatment. The general condition and body weight of the mice were monitored. Upon completion of the experiment, colon length was measured and tumor numbers were recorded. Colon pathological examinations were performed. The mRNA and protein expression levels of tight junction proteins Occludin (Ocln) and Claudin-1 (Cldn1) in colorectal tumor tissue were detected using RT-qPCR and Western blotting, respectively. Fecal microbiota composition from each group was analyzed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Results: Compared to the Blank Control group, the CAC Model group exhibited significantly shortened colon length and a significant increase in tumor number. After AFMT intervention, the shortening of colon length was alleviated and the tumor number decreased significantly compared to the CAC Model group. Histological examination revealed distorted crypt architecture, reduced goblet cells, and increased inflammatory cell infiltration in the colons of the CAC Model group. Following AFMT intervention, crypt architecture and goblet cell numbers showed improvement, with decreased inflammatory cells. Compared to the Blank Control group, the mRNA and protein expression levels of Ocln (Occludin) and Cldn1 (Claudin-1) were significantly reduced in colorectal tumor tissue of the CAC Model group. AFMT intervention significantly increased the mRNA and protein expression levels of Ocln (Occludin) and Cldn1 (Claudin-1) compared to the CAC Model group. Fecal microbiota analysis showed no statistically significant difference in Firmicutes abundance between the AFMT Intervention group and the Blank Control group, while the CAC Model group had a significantly lower Firmicutes abundance compared to the Blank Control group. No statistically significant difference in Bacteroroidota abundance was found between the AFMT Intervention group and the Blank Control group, but the CAC Model group exhibited significantly higher Bacteroroidota abundance than the Blank Control group. Conclusion: AFMT intervention can restore Firmicutes abundance and reduce Bacteroroidota abundance in the gut, effectively improve the aberrant expression of tight junction proteins within the tumor microenvironment, repair the intestinal barrier, regulate the intestinal functional barrier, alleviate intestinal inflammation, and consequently mitigate the pathological progression of CAC.
