Abstract
AbstractHirschsprung’s disease-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) is the most common complication of Hirschsprung’s disease (HSCR). The microbiome pattern of intestinal flora in HAEC patients was significantly abnormal compared to that in HSCR patients. The overabundance of V. parvula was detected in the gut of HAEC patients. To elucidate the pathological mechanisms of the overabundance of V. parvula, we established and analyzed inflammatory models induced by LPS or single-bacterial strain transplantation in vivo. The transplantation of V. parvula induced inflammatory response in the colon of mice. Besides, we found that LPS from V. parvula can significantly impair the barrier function of colonic epithelial cells and then activate macrophages which impaired pacemaker function of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs). It was thus a vicious cycle, where the macrophage-related inflammation caused by V. parvula via LPS-TLR4 pathway damaged the intestinal motility, which further aggravated the intestinal flora dysbiosis and promoted the development of HAEC. Itaconic acid could break the vicious cycle by inhibiting the activation of macrophages. It could be a potential therapeutic strategy for HAEC patients with intestinal flora dysbiosis.
