Abstract
Acute liver injury (ALI) is an abnormal liver function caused by oxidative stress, inflammation and other mechanisms.The interaction between intestine and liver plays an important role in ALI, and natural polysaccharides can participate in the regulation of ALI by regulating the composition of intestinal flora. In this study, Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide was used as the research object, and ICR mice were used to construct an acute liver injury model induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)). 16S rRNA sequencing technology was used to analyze the flora structure abundance and detect the changes of intestinal flora. The effective reading of 8 samples was obtained by 16S rRNA sequencing technology, and a total of 1233 samples were obtained. The results of alpha diversity analysis showed that the sequencing depth was sufficient, the abundance of species in the samples was high and the distribution was uniform, and the sequencing data of the samples was reasonable. Nine species with significant differences were screened out by abundence analysis of intestinal flora structure at genus level. Beta diversity analysis showed that species composition was different between the model group and the treatment group. Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide can maintain the integrity of mucosal barrier by promoting the proliferation of intestinal epithelial cells and anti-oxidative stress injury, thereby improving the intestinal mucosal inflammation of mice, regulating intestinal flora, and effectively alleviating CCl(4)-induced acute liver injury.
