    摘要:

    目的 探讨红枣多糖(ZJP)对模拟微重力(HU)小鼠免疫抑制及肠屏障损伤的防护作用。方法 雄性ICR小鼠随机分为对照组、HU组、左旋咪唑组及ZJP组(低、中、高剂量,200、400、800 mg/kg),连续灌胃14 d。检测各组小鼠体重、脾指数;苏木精-伊红染色(HE)及阿尔新蓝-过碘酸雪夫染色(AB-PAS)观察脾脏和结肠组织结构;酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)血清中白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)、肿瘤坏死因子α(TNF-α)、白细胞介素-10(IL-10)、免疫球蛋白M(IgM)、免疫球蛋白G(IgG);实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应(RT-qPCR)检测结肠炎症轴(Tlr4、Nlrp3、Nos2、Il1b、Tnf )与屏障轴(Tjp1、Cldn1)基因表达。结果 与HU组比较,ZJP组脾指数下降均改善(p<0.05);ZJP中剂量组降低IL-1β(48%,p<0.001)、TNF-α(43%,p<0.05),低剂量组提升IL-10(12.79%,p<0.001);ZJP低、中剂量组分别提高IgM(22.54%、50%)与IgG(70%、262.61%)(均p<0.05)。ZJP各剂量组均下调炎症轴基因(Tlr4、Nlrp3、Nos2、Il1b、Tnf)并上调屏障轴基因Tjp1与Cldn1(p<0.05)。结论 ZJP能显著改善HU小鼠免疫功能抑制与肠屏障损伤,可能通过抑制Toll样受体4/晚期寡聚体结构域样受体蛋白3炎症通路(TLR4/NLRP3)、降低促炎反应、上调紧密连接蛋白相关基因表达及恢复免疫球蛋白水平,为红枣多糖在航天免疫防护及功能食品开发中的应用提供依据。

    Abstract:

    Objective To investigate the protective effects of Ziziphus jujuba polysaccharides (ZJP) on immune suppression and intestinal barrier injury in hindlimb-unloaded (HU) mice. Methods Male ICR mice were randomly divided into six groups: control, HU model, levamisole, and ZJP low-, medium-, and high-dose groups (200, 400, and 800 mg/kg). All mice were orally administered for 14 consecutive days. Body weight and spleen index were recorded; histopathological changes in the spleen and colon were examined by hematoxylin eosin (HE) and alcian blue periodic acid Schiff (AB-PAS) staining. Serum levels of Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α), Interleukin-10 (IL-10), Immunoglobulin M (IgM), and Immunoglobulin G (IgG) were determined using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of inflammation-related genes (Tlr4, Nlrp3, Nos2, Il1b, and Tnf ) and barrier-related genes (Tjp1 and Cldn1) in colon tissues was analyzed by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Results Compared with HU mice, ZJP treatment improved the reductions in spleen index (p<0.05). The medium ZJP dose markedly reduced IL-1β (48%, p<0.001) and TNF-α (43%, p<0.05), while the low dose increased IL-10 by 12.79% (p<0.001). Low and medium ZJP doses elevated IgM (22.54%, 50%) and IgG (70%, 262.61%), respectively (all p<0.05). All ZJP doses significantly downregulated inflammation-axis genes (Tlr4, Nlrp3, Nos2, Il1b, Tnf) and upregulated barrier-axis genes Tjp1 and Cldn1 (p<0.05). Conclusions ZJP markedly alleviates HU-induced immune suppression and intestinal barrier dysfunction potentially by inhibiting the Toll-like receptor 4/NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3 (TLR4/NLRP3) inflammatory signaling pathway, reducing proinflammatory cytokine production, upregulating tight junction protein-related gene expression, and restoring immunoglobulin levels. These findings provide experimental evidence for the potential application of jujube polysaccharides in spaceflight immune protection and functional food development.
