Abstract:
AIM:C57BL/6J mice were transplanted with fecal microbiota from a patient with maturity-onset diabetes of the young(MODY)or a healthy control.This study aimed to investigate the effects of fecal microbiota trans-plantation(FMT)on glucose and lipid metabolism,intestinal flora composition,and short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs)me-tabolism in mice,thereby providing an experimental foundation for understanding the role of gut microbiota in MODY.METHODS:A total of 36 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly allocated into three groups,including:control(CON)group(receiving PBS),normal individual-FMT(NF)group(intervened with normal human fecal microbiota)and MODY patient-FMT(MF)group(intervened with MODY patient fecal microbiota),and the mice were performed fecal microbio-ta,transplantation through oral gavage for 8 weeks.Glucose tolerance was assessed using an oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT),while insulin sensitivity was evaluated through an intraperitoneal insulin tolerance test(ITT).Blood biochemi-cal indicators were measured using ELISA,the composition of the gut microbiota was analyzed using 16S rRNA sequenc-ing,and the concentration of fecal short-chain fatty acids(SCFAs)was determined by gas chromatography-mass spec-trometry(GC-MS).RESULTS:The mice in MF group showed impaired glucose tolerance and reduced insulin sensitivi-ty.The FMT altered the composition of gut microbiota in mice,leading to significant differences in microbial diversity among groups.Specifically,the distribution of 18 bacterial species varied significantly among the three groups,with a no-table reduction in SCFA-producing bacteria observed in the MF group.Analyses of fecal SCFAs revealed that acetic acid levels were significantly lower in the MF group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The FMT reduces production of SCFAs by altering gut microbiota composition in mice,which was likely related to impaired glucose tolerance and decreased insulin sensitivity.
