ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Colitis is one of the main gastrointestinal diseases threatening human health. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
In this study, a synbiotic composed of arabinoxylan (AX) and Lactobacillus fermentum HFY06 was tested to determine its ability to relieve dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis.RESULTS:
The experimental results showed that the synergistic effect of AX and L. fermentum HFY06 alleviated the weight loss of DSS-mediated colitis mice and lowered the disease activity index (DAI) score. Determination of biochemical indicators found that the synbiotic composed of AX and L. fermentum HFY06 increased the body's antioxidant capacity and reduced inflammation. The histopathological examination results showed that the colonic crypts of the mice in the model group were disordered, goblet cells were lost, and the mucous membrane was severely damaged. However, the combination of AX and L. fermentum HFY06 can significantly reverse the histopathological changes in the colon mediated by DSS. The gene expression of colon tissue was further determined, and the results showed that the synergistic effect of AX and L. fermentum HFY06 inhibited the activation of the NF-κB signaling pathway, downregulated the mRNA expression levels of nuclear factor-κB-p65 (NF-κBp65), upregulated the mRNA expression of NF-κB inhibitor-α (IκB-α), inhibited the release of cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and cyclooxygenase (COX-2), and exerted anti-colitis effects.CONCLUSION:
This study shows that the synbiotic composed of AX and L. fermentum HFY06 has the potential to prevent and treat colitis.
