Resumo
Introduction. The microbiome plays an important role in the normal functioning of the body, an imbalance in its composition leads to various diseases. Currently, many studies are being conducted on the bacterium Akkermansia muciniphila, which is a new generation probiotic that has a beneficial effect on the composition of the microbiome. However, the mechanism of the effect of the bacterium on inflammatory processes occurring in the body and induced by various drugs has not been fully studied.
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of A. muciniphila on serum biochemical parameters, as well as behavioral and physiological characteristics of mice during lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced systemic inflammation.
Material and methods. The following methods were used in the study: physiological test "Open field", biochemical analysis of blood serum using the automatic analyzer "VitaLine 200", histological examination of the small intestine was carried out using hematoxylin and eosin staining, gene expression was assessed by RT-PCR combined with reverse transcription. Statistical processing was performed in the R environment (Version 4.1.1) and Statistica 12, using the Spearman correlation coefficient, the Kruskal–Wallis test and the Bonferroni correction, one-way variance test (ANOVA) using the Tukey post-hoc test.
Results. A. muciniphila inhibited the inflammatory process induced by LPS injections and, as a result, led to an increase in research activity. The restoration of the small intestine structure was observed. Also, against the background of the probiotic effect, normalization of the biochemical parameters of the blood serum was revealed.
Conclusion. With the combined administration of LPS and A. muciniphila, antioxidant protection (GCLC) and intestinal barrier function (ZO-1) were enhanced, thus, the probiotic demonstrates therapeutic potential in the course of the inflammatory process.
