Abstract

Gut microbiota dysbiosis, together with goblet cells dysfunction has been observed in ulcerative colitis cases. This study aims to evaluate the potential of 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) supplementation in inhibiting intestinal inflammation through regulating gut microbiota, protecting goblet cells, and stimulating mucin secretion. 2'-FL was orally administered to C57BL/6J mice daily (400 mg/kg bw) for 21 days and 5% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) was used to induce the colitis in the last 7 days. Meanwhile, fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) was conducted to test the roles of gut microbiota in the remission of colitis by 2'-FL. Gut microbiota alteration was analyzed through 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) sequencing. Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS), immunofluorescence staining, as well as mucin 2 (MUC2) and NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 6 (NLRP6) messenger RNA (mRNA) expression in colon fragments was performed and detected. The results showed that the DSS + 2'-FL mice were found to have a slower rate of weight loss, lower disease activity index (DAI) scores, and longer colon lengths than the DSS group (p < 0.05), so in the FMT recipient mice which received fecal microbiota from the DSS + 2'-FL group. In addition, the data revealed that 2'-FL relieved the disorder of DSS-induced gut microbiota, including decreasing the high abundance of mucin-utilizing bacteria in the DSS group, such as Bacteroides, Lachnospiraceae NK4A136, Lachnospiraceae, and Bacteroides vulgatus. PAS and immunofluorescence staining showed that 2'-FL treatment promoted the recovery of goblet cells and enhanced MUC2 and NLRP6 expression, which was also observed in the FM (DSS + 2'-FL) group. Moreover, NLRP6, which has been proved to be a negative regulator for Toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differential protein-8/nuclear factor-kappa B (TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB) pathway, was upregulated by 2'-FL in colon tissue. In conclusion, this study suggests that 2'-FL ameliorates colitis in a gut microbiota-dependent manner. The underlying protective mechanism associates with the recovery of goblet cells number and improves MUC2 secretion through TLR4-related pathway.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 March 2022.
All research outputs
#14,571,801
of 23,339,727 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Nutrition
#2,195
of 4,947 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#216,818
of 439,273 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Nutrition
#272
of 592 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,339,727 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 35th percentile – i.e., 35% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,947 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 439,273 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 47th percentile – i.e., 47% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 592 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 48th percentile – i.e., 48% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
