Explore Alteration of Lung and Gut Microbiota in a Murine Model of OVA-Induced Asthma Treated by CpG Oligodeoxynucleotides by Wang Q, Ji J, Xiao S, Wang J, Yan X, Fang L

“…Qingqing Wang, Jingjing Ji, Shuaijun Xiao, Jiong Wang, Xuebo Yan, Lei Fang Department of Geriatric Respiratory and Critical Care, The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University, Anhui Geriatric Institute, Hefei, Anhui, People’s Republic of ChinaCorrespondence: Jiong Wang, Email wangjiong7286@163.comAim: We sought to investigate the impact of CpG oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODN) administration on the lung and gut microbiota in asthmatic mice, specifically focusing on changes in composition, diversity, and abundance, and to elucidate the microbial mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of CpG-ODN and identify potential beneficial bacteria indicative of its efficacy.Methods: HE staining were used to analyze inflammation in lung, colon and small intestine tissues. High-throughput sequencing technology targeting 16S rRNA was employed to analyze the composition, diversity, and correlation of microbiome in the lung, colon and small intestine of control, model and CpG-ODN administration groups.Results: (1) Histopathologically, both lung and intestinal tissue in asthmatic mice exhibited significant structural damage and inflammatory response, whereas the structure of both lung and intestinal tissue approached normal levels, accompanied by a notable improvement in the inflammatory response after CpG-ODN treatment. (2) In the specific microbiota composition analysis, bacterial dysbiosis observed in the asthmatic mice, accompanied by enrichment of Proteobacteria found to cause lung and intestinal epithelial damage and inflammatory reaction. …”
