灵芝三萜类化合物干预对葡聚糖硫酸钠诱导小鼠炎症性肠病的预防作用研究

Study on Preventive Effects of Ganoderma Lucidum Triterpenoids Intervention on Dextran Sulfate Sodium-induced Inflammatory Bowel Disease in Mice

炎症性肠病 (IBD) 涉及肠道屏障功能障碍、免疫失调和肠道菌群失衡。灵芝三萜 (GLT) 显示出抗炎潜力, 但其对IBD 是否具有治疗作用仍不清楚。为此, 本研究利用3%的葡聚糖硫酸钠 (DSS) 建立IBD模型小鼠并进行GLT灌胃 (20mg/kg) 治疗, 通过记录小鼠体重、结肠长度与疾病活动指数 (DAI) , 并利用免疫组化检测黏膜糖蛋白Muc2与屏障相关蛋白ZO-1/Occludin的表达变化, 从而综合评价GLT对IBD症状的预防性干预效果。结果显示, 与DSS模型组相比, GLT显著降低DAI, 减轻体重下降并改善结肠缩短, 结肠组织学损伤明显减轻。此外, GLT恢复了杯状细胞数量并提高Muc2表达, 同时上调ZO-1和Occludin的表达。这些发现表明, GLT 通过增强上皮紧密连接与黏液分泌, 改善肠道屏障功能, 从而缓解DSS诱导的结肠炎, 提示其具有作为炎症性肠病干预候选物的潜在价值。 

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves intestinal barrier dysfunction, immune dysregulation, and gut microbiota imbalance. Ganoderma lucidum triterpenoids (GLT) have shown anti-inflammatory potential, but the therapeutic effect on IBD remains unclear. Therefore, In this study, a mouse model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) was established using 3% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) , and the modeled mice were treated with GLT via intragastric administration at a dosage of 20 mg/kg. The body weight and colon length of mice were recorded, and the disease activity index (DAI) was evaluated. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect the expression changes of mucosal glycoprotein Muc2 and barrier-associated proteins ZO- 1 and Occludin. Based on the above experimental results, the preventive intervention effect of GLT on IBD symptoms was comprehensively assessed. The results showed that compared with the DSS model group, GLT significantly reduced the DAI score, alleviated body weight loss, and ameliorated colon shortening; histological injury of colonic tissue was markedly attenuated. Furthermore, GLT restored the number of goblet cells and increased Muc2 expression, while upregulating the expression of ZO-1 and Occludin. These findings indicate that GLT improved intestinal barrier function by enhancing epithelial tight junctions and mucus secretion, thereby alleviating DSS-induced colitis. It suggests that GLT has potential value as a candidate intervention for inflammatory bowel disease.
