链脲佐菌素诱导雄性NOD小鼠1型糖尿病肠道菌群谱的特征研究

Characteristics of gut microbiota profile in male NOD mice induced by streptozotocin in type 1 diabetes

  • 摘要: 背景 雌性非肥胖型糖尿病(nonobese diabetic,NOD)小鼠常用于自发性1型糖尿病(type 1 diabetes mellitus, T1DM)动物模型的构建,使用链脲佐菌素(streptozotocin,STZ)诱导雄性NOD小鼠1型糖尿病的研究较少,STZ对雄性NOD 小鼠肠道菌群谱的影响尚不清楚。目的 分析STZ诱导雄性NOD小鼠1型糖尿病肠道菌群谱的变化。方法 14只雄性 NOD小鼠随机分为模型组(T1DM组,n=8)和对照组(CON组,n=6)。T1DM组小鼠每天注射50 mg/kg的STZ,连续5 d; CON组小鼠每天腹腔注射同等剂量的生理盐水,连续5 d。在造模0 d、7 d、35 d时记录小鼠体质量和空腹血糖。35 d时收 集新鲜粪便进行16S rRNA基因V3-V4区测序,分析雄性NOD小鼠T1DM肠道菌群的多样性、组成、差异菌筛选和功能预 测分析。结果 与CON组相比,T1DM组小鼠在35 d时体质量降低,血糖升高(P值均<0.05)。T1DM组小鼠肠道菌群的 Observed OTUs指数、Chao1指数、Simpson指数和Shannon指数都高于CON组(P值均<0.05)。T1DM组和CON组小鼠肠道 菌群的NMDS分析(P=0.006,Stress=0.09)、PCoA分析(P=0.003)和PCA分析(P=0.002)有明显的离散距离。与CON组相比, T1DM组小鼠肠道的拟杆菌门、髌骨细菌门、脱硫杆菌门和蓝菌门上调,而厚壁菌门下调(P值均<0.05);在属水平上, T1DM组的未分类鼠杆菌科、鼠杆菌属、候选糖单胞菌属、脱硫弧菌属和另枝菌属上调,而联合乳杆菌属下调(P值均< 0.05);T1DM组小鼠肠道菌群的厚壁菌门/拟杆菌门和厚壁菌门/变形菌门的比值降低(P值均<0.05)。主要差异菌联合乳杆菌 和单球菌属与空腹血糖呈负相关,鼠杆菌属、另枝菌属、候选糖单胞菌属和惰性真杆菌组与空腹血糖呈正相关(P值均< 0.05)。T1DM小鼠肠道菌群在核苷酸代谢、糖酵解代谢、氨基酸代谢、脂代谢途径中发生显著改变(P值均<0.05)。结论  链脲佐菌素诱导使雄性NOD小鼠T1DM模型的肠道菌群多样性增加,菌群构成发生改变,雄性NOD小鼠T1DM的进展可 能与链脲佐菌素诱导的肠道菌群结构和功能紊乱相关。

     

    Abstract: Background Female non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice are commonly used for constructing animal models of spontaneous type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), while research on using streptozotocin (STZ) to induce T1DM in male NOD mice is limited, and the impact of STZ on the gut microbiota profile of male NOD mice remains unclear.Objective To analyze the changes in gut microbiota profiles in STZ-induced T1DM in male NOD mice.Methods Fourteen male NOD mice were randomly divided into model group (T1DM group, n=8) and control group (CON group, n=6). The mice in the T1DM group were injected with 50 mg/ kg of STZ every day for 5 consecutive days. The mice in the CON group were injected with the same dose of normal saline intraperitoneally every day for 5 consecutive days. The weights and fasting blood glucose of mice were recorded at 0 day, 7 day, and 35 day of modeling. At 35 days, fresh feces were collected for 16S rRNA gene V3-V4 region sequencing to analyze the diversity, composition, differential bacterial screening, and functional prediction of the gut microbiota in male NOD mice with T1DM. Results Compared with the CON group, the body weight of mice in the T1DM group was significantly reduced at 35 day, and the blood glucose was significantly increased (all P<0.05). The Observed OTUs index, Chao1 index, Simpson index and Shannon index of the gut microbiota of T1DM group were all higher than CON group (all P<0.05). The NMDS analysis (P=0.006, Stress =0.09), PCoA analysis (P=0.003) and PCA analysis (P=0.002) of the gut microbiota in mice of the T1DM group and the CON group showed obvious discrete distances. Compared with the CON group, the Bacteroidota, Patescibacteria, Desulfobacterota, and Cyanobacteria in the gut microbiota of mice in the T1DM group were significantly up-regulated, while the Firmicutes was significantly down regulated (all P<0.05). At the genus level, the Muribaculaceae_unclassified, Muribaculum, Candidatus_Saccharimonas, Desulfovibrio and Alistipes in the T1DM group were significantly up-regulated, while the Ligilactobacillus was significantly down regulated (all P<0.05). The ratios of Firmicutes/Bacteroidota and Firmicutes/Proteobacteria in the gut microbiota of mice in the T1DM group were significantly decreased (all P<0.05). The main differential bacteria Ligilactobacillus and Monoglobus were negatively correlated with fasting blood glucose, while Muribaculum, Alistipes, Candidatus_Saccharimonas, and Eubacterium_siraeum_group were positively correlated with fasting blood glucose (P<0.05). The gut microbiota of T1DM mice undergoes significant changes in nucleotide metabolism, glycolysis metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and lipid metabolism pathways (P<0.05).Conclusion Streptozotocin induction increases the diversity of gut microbiota and alters its composition in male NOD mice with T1DM. The progression of T1DM in male NOD mice may be associated with streptozotocin-induced structural and functional disturbances in the gut microbiota.
