PG - 2244-2257 LID - S0141-8130(22)02247-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.10.015 [doi] AB - In the present study, the effects of a purified fraction of polysaccharides from the fruits of Lycium barbarum L. (LBPs), named LBPs-4, on the dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice were evaluated. The results showed that LBPs-4 decreased disease activity index score, prevented colon shortening and reduced plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), interferon gamma (IFN-gamma), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and prostaglandin E2) in mice with colitis. LBPs-4 could increase the relative abundances of Akkermansia and Bifidobacterium in gut microbiota, and it also mitigated the intestinal barrier damage by upregulating the level of tight junction protein ZO-1 and the number of goblet cells in colon. Moreover, the results of in vitro culture indicated that the growth of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis CCX 19042 was promoted by LBPs-4, whereas the culture media of LBPs-4 by Bacteroides ovatus with or without addition of mucin could enhance the growth of Akkermansia muciniphila. Collectively, these results suggested that LBPs-4 should be potential prebiotics for the treatment of colitis. CI - Copyright (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
