ABSTRACT
Colitis develops via the convergence of environmental, microbial, immunological, and genetic factors. The medicine 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is widely used in clinical practice for colitis (especially ulcerative colitis) treatment. However, the significance of gut microbiota in the protective effect of 5-ASA on colitis has not been explored. Using a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis mouse model, we found that 5-ASA ameliorated colitis symptoms in DSS-treated mice, accompanied by increased body weight gain and colon length, and a decrease in disease activity index (DAI) score and spleen index. Also, 5-ASA alleviated DSS-induced damage to colonic tissues, as indicated by suppressed inflammation and decreased tight junction, mucin, and water-sodium transport protein levels. Moreover, the 16S rDNA gene sequencing results illustrated that 5-ASA reshaped the disordered gut microbiota community structure in DSS-treated mice by promoting the abundance of Bifidobacterium, Lachnoclostridium, and Anaerotruncus, and reducing the content of Alloprevotella and Desulfovibrio. Furthermore, 5-ASA improved the abnormal metabolism of bile acids (BAs) by regulating the Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and Takeda G-protein-coupled receptor 5 (TGR5) signaling pathways in DSS-treated mice. In contrast, 5-ASA did not prevent the occurrence of colitis in mice with gut microbiota depletion, confirming the essential role of gut microbiota in colitis treatment by 5-ASA. In conclusion, 5-ASA can ameliorate DSS-induced colitis in mice by modulating gut microbiota and bile acid metabolism. These findings documented the new therapeutic mechanisms of 5-ASA in clinical colitis treatment.
