Abstract:
Background:Faecalibacterium prausnitzii( Fp) is one of the most abundant bacterium in human intestinal microbiota,and is closely correlated with the process of colitis-associated colorectal cancer(CAC). Aims:To observe the effect of Fp on CAC,and investigate the possible mechanism. Methods:The model of CAC was induced by azoxymethane (AOM)and dextran sodium sulfate( DSS). Fifty-two C57BL/ 6J mice were randomly divided into 4 groups:group A (AOM + DSS),group B(AOM + DSS + Fp),group C(AOM + DSS + Fp supernatant)and group D(control group). All the mice were sacrificed on day 92. DAI was assessed,serum levels of TNF-α and IL-10 were determined by ELISA. HE staining was used to examine the grade of tumor. Expressions of VEGF,COX-2,NF-κB in tumor tissue were measured by immunohistochemistry. Results:The tumorigenesis rates of group A,B,C were 100% ,100% and 77. 8% ,respectively;mainly were high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia. The tumor load in group A was significantly higher than that in group B (P < 0. 01),and the spleen index in group B was significantly higher than that in group C(P < 0. 01). Serum level of TNF-α was significantly lower(P < 0. 05)and IL-10 was significantly higher(P < 0. 05)in group A than that in group B. No significant differences in expressions of VEGF,COX-2,NF-κB were found among group A,B and C. Conclusions:Fp had no obvious effect on the occurrence rate of CAC,and Fp supernatant could decrease the incidence of CAC in mice. Fp and its supernatant could reduce the tumor load via regulating the expressions of TNF-α,IL-10.
