[Abstract]
Objective To investigate the mechanism of the inhibitory effect of intestinal compound on orthotopic transplantation of intestinal cancer in nude mice through the analysis of microbiomics. Methods The orthotopic transplantation nude mouse model of fluorescently labeled HCT-116 intestinal cancer cells was established. On the 10 th day of post-operation,small animal imaging system was used to detect fluorescence signals in the abdominal cavity of mice. The successfully modeled mice were randomly divided into model group,intestinal compound group(36 g·kg-1), antibiotic group,antibiotic-combined intestinal compound group,and blank control group,with 6 mice in each group. The corresponding drug was administered at 20 mL·kg-1 /day orally for 4 consecutive weeks. The body weight of mice in each group were observed at every two day intervals. Tumor growth in mice was evaluated by using small animal imaging system. HE staining was used for detection of histopathological changes in various groups of intestinal cancer, and immunohistochemistry was applied for detection of Ki67 expression. Feces from mice in each group were collected for high throughput 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing and bioinformatic analysis. Results (1)Compared with the blank group,the body weight of mice in the model group was significantly decreased(P<0.001). Compared with the model group,the body weight of mice in the intestinal compound group was elevated(P<0.01),the total fluorescence value and Ki67 expression of intestinal cancer tissue in the intestinal compound group obviously decreased(P<0.05,P< 0.001). The body weight of the antibiotic group was reduced(P<0.05),and there was a trend of increase in the total fluorescence value of intestinal cancer cells, but the difference was not statistically significant (P<0.05). Ki67 expression of intestinal cancer tissue significantly up-regulated(P<0.01). Compared with the antibiotic group, the body weight of the mice in the combination group was elevated(P<0.001),the total fluorescence value of intestinal cancer cells significantly decreased(P<0.05), and Ki67 expression of intestinal cancer tissue significantly downregulated(P<0.001).(2)Compared with the blank group,Chao1 index in the model group was significantly decreased (P<0.05). The proportion of Proteobacteria, Enterococcus faecalis and Klebsiella were remarkably increased(P< 0.05). The abundance of the two-component system in the gut microbiota significantly increased(P<0.05). Compared with the model group, Chao1 and Simpson indices showed no obvious change (P>0.05). The proportion of Verrucomicrons and AKK bacteria increased(P>0.05). LEfSe analysis showed that Verrucobacteria and Akk bacteria were dominant bacterial species, the abundance of the two-component system in the gut microbiota and peptidase significantly decreased(P<0.05). Simpson indice in the antibiotic group significantly decreased(P<0.05). There was no significant differences in Chao1 index(P>0.05). The proportion of Proteobacteria and Klebsiella were remarkably increased(P<0.01),while the proportion of Bacteroidetes was significantly decreased(P<0.05). The abundance of the two-component system in the gut microbiota,transporters,ABC transporters and transcription factors significantly increased(P<0.001),but the abundance of DNA repair and protein recombination,purine metabolism,ribosome and peptidase significantly decreased(P<0.001). Compared with the antibiotic group,Chao1 and Simpson indices in the combination group showed no obvious change(P>0.05). The proportion of Firmicutes increased significantly(P< 0.01), while the proportion of Enterococcus faecalis decreased significantly (P<0.01). The abundance of purine metabolism in the gut microbiota increased significantly(P<0.05). Conclusion There are intestinal flora disorder in nude mice with orthotopic transplantation of HCT-116 intestinal cancer cells, and antibiotics can exacerbate the intestinal flora disorder. Intestinal compound can inhibit the growth of intestinal cancer,its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the structure of intestinal flora. AKK bacteria may be the main target for intestinal compound.
