Dihydromyricetin improves colonic mucosal barrier function in mice with metabolism-associated fatty liver disease
To investigate the ameliorative effects of dihydromyricetin (DHM) on metabolism-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD)
and to reveal the mechanism of its regulation of intestinal mucosal barrier function.
Methods
2
Thirty-two male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into 4 groups (
n
=8): CON (control diet
with 10% fat) group
HFD (high-fat diet
with 45% fat) group
HFD+DHM (high-fat diet+0.6% DHM) group
and DHM (control diet+0.6% DHM) gro
up.All the subjects were intervened for 12 weeks
the body weight and food consumption of mice were measured weekly.Fasting blood glucose
glucose tolerance and intestinal permeability were tested before sacrifice.Serum levels of biochemical indexes and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were detected with corresponding kits.The liver tissues were stained with HE and oil red O staining
respectively
and the histopathological changes were observed.Moreover
RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to measure the expression levels of intestinal epithelial tight junction proteins
antimicrobial peptides and liver inflammatory factors.Flow cytometry was adopted to determine the proportion of group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) and the level of IL-22 in the colon.
Results
2
As compared with the CON group
the HFD group presented increased body weight
impaired glucose tolerance
as well as elevated serum total cholesterol
triglyceride
alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase.HFD also led to liver lipid deposition and higher mRNA levels of
IL
-1
β
IL
-6 and
TNF
-
α
in the liver.The intestinal permeability and serum LPS were increased
whereas the expression levels of tight junction proteins
ZO
-1 and
Occludin
and antimicrobial peptides
Reg

β
and
Reg

γ
in the intestinal mucosa were decreased
and the proportions of ILC3 and IL-22
+
ILC3 in the colon were declined (
P
<
0.05).In the HFD+DHM group
the impaired glucose tolerance was significantly improved
the hepatic lipid deposition and the expression of inflammatory factors were reduced
so was the serum LPS level.DHM also upregulated the levels of intestinal tight junction proteins and antimicrobial peptides
and ameliorated the intestinal permeability.Furthermore
the colonic ILC3 and IL-22
+
ILC3 ratios were increased b
y DHM treatment as well (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
DHM may ameliorate the progression of MAFLD by improving intestinal barrier function to reduce lipid accumulation and inflammatory responses in the liver.
