Objective:To explore the effect of probiotics Lactiplantibacillus plantarum(LP) WCFS1 by gavage on acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) and associated ileum injury in mice. Methods:Twenty-four healthy male mice were gavaged with broad-spectrum antibiotics for 3 weeks to establish microbiota-depleted mice, and then randomly divided into control group (CON), ANP model group (ANP), LP gavage group (LP) and LP gavage and ANP induced group (LP+ ANP) , with 6 mice in each group. Mice in LP and LP+ ANP group were treated by gavage of LP (1×10 9 CFU/ml, 0.2 ml/day per mouse) for 1 week, while CON and ANP were gavaged with sterile phosphate buffered saline for 1 week instead. The ANP model was induced by intraperitoneal injection with caerulein (100 μg/kg) for 10 times with 1-hour interval between two injections and the 10th injection with lipopolysaccharide(LPS) 5 mg/kg intraperitoneally, and the mice were sacrificed 2 h later. Levels of LP in stool and ileal mucosa were detected by real-time PCR; the pancreas and ileum were collected for pathological examination to observe the extent of tissue inflammation and to score the pathology. Serum amylase activities were determined by enzymatic kinetic chemistry; serum inflammators levels and intestinal permeability were detected by ELISA; levels of inflammators in pancreatic and ileal tissues were detected by real-time PCR; ileal tight-junction proteins (occludin, claudin-1 and ZO-1) were measured by immunofluorescence staining. Results:LP levels in the stool and ileal mucosa of mice were significantly increased after LP gavage, and the differences were statistically significant (913.30±39.12 vs 2.39±1.39, 23.11±0.50 vs 1.38±0.28, all P value <0.05). The pathological scores of pancreatic tissue of CON, LP, ANP and LP+ ANP group were (0.26±0.41), (0.17±0.26), (8.55±0.46) and (6.30±0.45); the serum amylase activities were (219.70±19.73), (217.60±11.30), (2896.24±98.32) and (1837.13±131.60)U/L, IL-1β were (0.87±0.28), (1.4±0.85), (67.41±6.45) and (36.33±5.65)pg/ml, IL-6 were (0.74±0.27), (0.16±0.16), (280586.12±39163.92) and (107912.75±31283.47)pg/ml, IL-10 were (35.52±5.27), (50.99±15.34), (2008.45±184.83) and (3070.35±403.71)pg/ml; the expression level of pancreatic IL-1β mRNA was 1.42±0.39, 0.95±25, 20.53±0.50 and 10.69±1.01, IL-6 mRNA was 1.31±0.44, 0.93±0.023, 21.97±1.71 and 11.54±1.75, IL-10 mRNA was 0.93±0.14, 0.75±0.15, 0.99±0.21 and 1.76±0.19; there was no significant difference between LP and CON group, and pancreatic pathological scores, serum amylase、IL-1β and IL-6 levels, and the expression level of pancreatic IL-1β and IL-6 mRNA were significantly decreased in LP+ ANP group compared with those in ANP group, while serum IL-10 levels and the expression level of pancreatic IL-10 mRNA were significantly increased compared with ANP group, and all the differences were statistically significant (all P values <0.05). The pathological scores of ileal tissue of CON, LP, ANP and LP+ ANP group were 0, 0, (3.17±0.41) and (1.67±0.52); the levels of serum DAO of CON, LP, ANP and LP+ ANP group were (0.03±0.03), (0.02±0.02), (0.50±0.05) and (0.49±0.06)ng/ml; LPS levels were (2.75±0.35), (3.74±0.28), (7.19±0.92) and (5.88±0.38)ng/ml; the expression level of ileal IL-1β mRNA was 1.21±0.20, 1.17±0.09, 1.81±0.25 and 1.63±0.21; IL-6 mRNA was 1.01±0.29, 2.83±0.42, 54.45±8.50 and 16.87±4.42; IL-10 mRNA was 1.12±0.41, 6.09±2.51, 11.65±1.47 and 29.86±2.93. There was no significant difference between LP and CON group, except that the ileal IL-10 mRNA expression was significantly higher than that of CON group. Ileal pathological scores, serum LPS levels and the expression level of ileal IL-6 mRNA were significantly lower in LP+ ANP group than those in ANP group, while the expression level of ileal IL-10 mRNA was significantly higher than that of ANP group; the expression of ileal tight junction proteins (ocludin, claudin-1, ZO-1) was significantly higher than those in ANP group, and all the differences were statistically significant (all P values <0.05). Conclusions:LP WCFS1 gavage could ameliorate the injury of pancreatic and ileal barrier in caerulein-induced ANP mice.
