Acute liver injury progression is associated with dynamic enteric eubiosis alteration in mice

Liver health has long been linked to the homeostasis of gut microbiota. Although some studies have shown that alterations in the species and function of gut microbiota contribute to the initiation and development of acute liver injury (ALI), studies investigating the effects of ALI on gut microbial...

description Liver health has long been linked to the homeostasis of gut microbiota. Although some studies have shown that alterations in the species and function of gut microbiota contribute to the initiation and development of acute liver injury (ALI), studies investigating the effects of ALI on gut microbial dynamic composition changes are still limited. To observe whether liver damage can alter the composition of gut microbiota dynamically, we established three chemical models (e.g., acetaminophen, carbon tetrachloride, lipopolysaccharide) of ALI. Using these models, multiple time points of liver injury and intestinal microbiome were analyzed through plasma biochemical analysis and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. We assessed α-diversity, Unifrac principal coordinates analysis (PCoA), and linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) in the injury and control groups. The composition of the gut microbiota underwent dramatic shifts with liver injury and recovery in each model. Additionally, specific microbial abundance was significantly correlated with the level of plasma alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase. These data provide new evidence that liver dysfunction and restoration is dynamically linked with the changes in the intestinal microbiome.
