Bacterial translocation and changes in the intestinal microbiome in mouse models of liver disease
Open accessAbstract
Background & aims Intestinal dysbiosis and bacterial translocation are common in patients with advanced liver disease, and there is strong evidence that the translocation of bacteria and their products across the epithelial barrier drives experimental liver disease progression. The aims of our study were to investigate dynamics of bacterial translocation and changes in the enteric microbiome in early stages of liver disease.Methods Cholestatic liver injury was induced by ligation of the common bile duct (BDL) and toxic liver injury by injection of carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) in mice.Results Increased intestinal permeability and bacterial translocation occurred one day following liver injury in both disease models. This was accompanied by decreased intestinal expression of the tight junction protein occludin. Although BDL resulted in a rapid onset of intestinal bacterial overgrowth, bacterial overgrowth was observed in mice injected with CCl(4) only in advanced stages of liver fibrosis. To further assess the qualitative changes in the intestinal microbiome, massively parallel pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA genes revealed minor microbial changes following BDL, while CCl(4) administration resulted in a relative abundance of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria compared with oil-injected mice. Four different liver disease models (cholestasis, toxic, alcohol, obesity) show few similarities in their intestinal microbiome.Conclusions Acute liver injury is associated with an early onset of increased intestinal permeability and bacterial translocation that precede changes in the microbiome. The enteric microbiome differs with respect to the etiology of liver disease.

“Increases in blood LPS levels reflect gut leakiness and are mirrored by a number of other alterations such as increased intestinal permeability to high molecular weight polyethylene glycol in patients with ALD26 and to FITC-dextran in mouse models of alcoholic and biliary liver disease27,28.”

“Decreased bile secretion in rodents by either ligation of the common bile duct or induction of cirrhosis contributes to bacterial translocation, which is not only caused by intestinal bacterial overgrowth but also by increased gut permeability20,28,134.”

“In addition, microbiome analysis was performed at later timepoints (10 days) after BDL, while our analyses comprised earlier timepoints after surgery; 3 and 7 days after BDL.”

“While Fouts et al.26 described that BDL did not alter the microbiome in mice, Alaish et al.25 described changes in Bl6/C57 mice at late stages after BDL (14 days) that the authors discussed to be associated with advanced fibrogenesis (cirrhosis).”

“Also, the sequencing methodology used in that study was different that the one we have applied. Fouts and colleagues used pyrosequencing26 while we used Illumina sequencing in our work, which provides a higher number of sequences per sample and greater depth of sequences corresponding to the hypervariable zone V3-V4, as opposed to the hypervariable V1–V3 region targeted in the Fouts et al. work26.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
