摘要:
目的 探讨幽门螺杆菌(Helicobacter pylori, Hp)相关性胃病脾胃湿热证、脾气虚证形成的生物学机制。 方法 收集107例Hp相关性胃病患者的胃黏膜样本, 其中脾胃湿热证70例,脾气虚证37例, 同时招募平和体质健康受试者10名作为正常对照组。采用16S rDNA技术检测胃黏膜样本菌群组成, 免疫组织化学法检测胃黏膜NLRP3和白介素-1β(Interleukin-1β, IL-1β)蛋白表达水平。 结果 与正常对照组比较, 脾胃湿热证患者胃黏膜菌群放线菌门、拟杆菌门的相对丰度显著降低(P < 0.05), 脾气虚证组患者胃黏膜菌群的门水平物种丰度无明显差异;线性判别分析显示, 与正常对照组比较, 幽门螺杆菌属为Hp相关性胃病脾胃湿热证、脾气虚证患者的胃黏膜标志菌属。与正常对照组比较, 脾胃湿热证、脾气虚证患者胃黏膜NLRP3和IL-1β蛋白表达水平均显著升高(P < 0.05)。 结论 胃黏膜菌群结构差异、炎症水平升高可能是Hp相关性胃病脾胃湿热证、脾气虚证形成的内在生物学机理。 Abstract:OBJECTIVE To investigate the biological mechanisms underlying the formation of spleen-stomach damp-heat and spleen-qi deficiency syndromes in helicobacter pylori (Hp)-related gastropathy. METHODS Gastric mucosa samples were collected from 107 patients with Hp-related gastropathy, including 70 cases with spleen-stomach damp-heat syndrome and 37 cases with spleen-qi deficiency syndrome, while 10 healthy subjects with moderate constitution were recruited as normal control group. Besides, the gastric mucosa samples were examined by 16S rDNA technique, and the expression levels of NLRP3 and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in the gastric mucosa were measured by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Compared with the normal control group, the relative abundance of the gastric mucosal flora of Actinobacteria and Bacteroidetes phylum was significantly lower in patients with spleen-stomach damp-heat syndrome (P < 0.05), while the abundance of gastric mucosal flora in patients with spleen-qi deficiency syndrome was not obviously different. In addition, the linear discriminant analysis showed that Hp was the marker genus of gastric mucosa in Hp-related gastropathy patients with spleen-stomach damp-heat and spleen-qi deficiency syndromes. What is more, the expression levels of NLRP3 and IL-1β proteins in the gastric mucosa of patients with spleen-stomach damp-heat and spleen-qi deficiency syndromes were significantly higher compared with those of normal controls (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The structural differences in gastric mucosal flora and elevated inflammation levels may be the underlying biological mechanism for the formation of Hp-related gastropathy with spleen-stomach damp-heat and spleen-qi deficiency syndromes. -
