摘要
Background: Stability of intestinal flora is not only important for maintaining stable immune functions; it is also a key immune channel communicating the interaction between lung and intestine. In this study, probiotics and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) were used to regulate influenza-infected mice with antibiotic-induced intestinal dysbiosis and the effects of intestinal microorganisms on these mice were subsequently observed and evaluated. Methods: Mice are housed in a normal environment with intranasal infection with influenza virus (FM1). Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) was used to determine messenger RNA expression and lung viral replication of toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7), myeloid differentiation primary reaction 88 (MyD88) and nuclear factor kappa B (ss) p65 in the TLR7 signaling pathway. Western blotting is used to measure the expression levels of TLR7, MyD88, and NF-kappa B p65 proteins. Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of Th17/T regulated cells. Results: Results showed that compared with the simple virus group, both diversity and species of intestinal flora in influenza-infected mice with antibiotic-induced intestinal dysbiosis were lower, in vivo viral replication was significantly increased, lung and intestinal tissues were seriously damaged, degree of inflammation increased, expression of the TLR7 signaling pathway increased, and the Th1/Th2:Th17/Treg ratio decreased. Probiotics and FMT effectively regulated intestinal flora, improved pathological lung changes and inflammation caused by influenza infection, and adjusted the TLR7 signaling pathway and the Th1/Th2:Th17/Treg ratio. This effect was not obvious in TLR7-/- mice.In summary, by affecting the TLR7 signaling pathway, intestinal microorganisms reduced the inflammatory response in the lungs of influenza-infected mice with imbalances in antibiotic flora. Conclusions: By affecting the TLR7 signaling pathway, intestinal microorganisms reduced the inflammatory response in the lungs of influenza-infected mice with imbalances in antibiotic flora. In summary, damage to lung tissue and intestinal mucosa in influenza-infected mice with antibiotic-induced intestinal dysbiosis is more serious compared to simple virus-infected mice. Improving intestinal flora using probiotics or FMT can alleviate intestinal inflammation and improve pulmonary inflammation through the TLR7 signaling pathway.
