摘要: 本研究旨在评估短链脂肪酸在慢性肾衰竭患犬和健康犬中的水平,探究短链脂肪酸变化的原因及其对肾功能的影响。选取22例轻度慢性肾衰患犬(M-CRF组)、29例重度慢性肾衰患犬(S-CRF组)和26例健康对照犬(HC组),用16S rDNA测序技术分析肠道菌群多样性,气相色谱法检测粪中短链脂肪酸浓度。通过粪菌移植和补充丁酸钠给5/6肾摘除犬,观察肠道菌群及丁酸钠对肾功能影响。结果显示:1)S-CRF组肠道菌群多样性指标观察物种数及Simpson指数低于HC组(P<0.05),PCoA分析显示,S-CRF组肠道菌群与M-CRF、HC组有差异。2)LEfSe分析显示,S-CRF组和HC组间大量差异菌群,拟杆菌科、拟杆菌属及假单胞菌科等7个菌种富集于S-CRF组,普氏杆菌科、梭菌科、普氏杆菌属及普拉梭菌属等11个菌种富集于HC组。CCA分析发现富集于S-CRF组菌种丰度与肾功能指标呈正相关。3)S-CRF组粪中乙酸、丙酸及丁酸浓度均显著低于HC组和M-CRF组,M-CRF组丁酸浓度显著低于HC组(P<0.05),且丁酸浓度与血中胱抑素C(Cys-c)、肌酐(Cr)及尿素氮(BUN)等肾功能指标呈负相关(r值分别为-0.451、-0.583和-0.514,P<0.01)。4)与慢性肾衰模型组(5/6 Nx组)比较,慢性肾衰犬给与丁酸钠8周后,血清Cr和BUN显著降低(P<0.05);粪菌移植8周后,血清Cr和BUN显著升高(P<0.05),丁酸钠可回调血清Cr和BUN水平。综上表明,慢性肾衰竭患犬肠道菌群多样性降低,菌群结构及丰度改变,粪中短链脂肪酸浓度降低,这些变化可加剧肾功能障碍。为犬慢性肾衰竭的防治提供新的理论依据。

Abstract: This study aimed to evaluate the levels of short chain fatty acids in dogs with chronic renal failure and healthy dogs, and explore the causes of changes in short chain fatty acids and its impact on renal function. Twenty-two dogs with mild chronic renal failure (M-CRF group), 29 dogs with severe chronic renal failure (S-CRF group) and 26 healthy dogs (HC group) were selected. The diversity of gut microbiota was analyzed by 16S rDNA sequencing technology and the concentration of short chain fatty acids in feces was detected by gas chromatography. The effects of gut microbiota and sodium butyrate on renal function of 5/6 nephrectomized dogs were observed by fecal bacteria transplantation and sodium butyrate supplementation. The results showed that:1) the observed species and Simpson index of gut microflora diversity in S-CRF group were lower than those in HC group (P<0.05). PCoA analysis showed that the gut microflora in S-CRF group was different from that both in M-CRF and HC group. 2) Lefse analysis showed that there were a large number of different flora between S-CRF group and HC group. Seven species (bacteroideae, Bacteroides, Pseudomonas, et al) were enriched in S-CRF group, while eleven species, such as Prevotellaceae, Clostridiaceae, Prevotella, Faecalibacterium and so on, were enriched in HC group. CCA analysis showed that the species richness in S-CRF group and HC group were positively correlated and negatively correlated with renal function indexes, respectively. 3) The fecal concentrations of acetic acid, propionic acid and butyric acid in S-CRF group were significantly lower than those in HC group and M-CRFgroup, and butyric acid concentration in M-CRF group was significantly lower than that in HC group too (P<0.05). Furthermore, butyric acid concentration was negatively correlated with serum cystatin C (Cys-C), creatinine (Cr) and urea nitrogen (BUN),and the correlation coefficients were -0.451, -0.583 and -0.514 (P<0.01), respectively. 4) Compared with chronic renal failure model group (5/6 Nx group), the serum Cr and BUN level of 5/6 nephrectomized dog fed sodium butyrate were significantly decreased after 8 weeks (P<0.05). Serum Cr and BUN level of 5/6 nephrectomized mice transplanted fecal bacteria from dogs with CRF were more higher than those in 5/6 Nx group after 8 weeks (P<0.05), while sodium butyrate could reverse these changes. In summary, chronic renal failure of dogs can lead to the decrease of gut microflora diversity, the change of flora structure and abundance, and the decrease of fecal short chain fatty acids concentration. It provides a new theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of chronic renal failure in dogs.
