{"doi":"10.1089/neu.2020.7526","title":"Traumatic Brain Injury Induces Gastrointestinal Dysfunction and Dysbiosis of Gut Microbiota Accompanied by Alterations of Bile Acid Profile","abstract":"<jats:p>Gastrointestinal dysfunction is a common peripheral organ complication after traumatic brain injury (TBI), yet the underlying mechanism remains unknown. TBI has been demonstrated to cause gut microbiota dysbiosis in animal models, although the impacts of gut microbiota dysbiosis on gastrointestinal dysfunction were not examined. Bile acids are key metabolites between gut microbiota and host interactions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the mechanistic links between them by detecting the alterations of gut microbiota and bile acid profile after TBI. For that, we established TBI in mice using a lateral fluid percussion injury model. Gut microbiota was examined by 16S rRNA sequencing, and bile acids were profiled by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Our results showed that TBI caused intestinal inflammation and gut barrier impairment. Alterations of gut microbiota and bile acid profile were observed. The diversity of gut microbiota experienced a time dependent change from 1 h to 7 days post-injury. Levels of bile acids in feces and plasma were decreased after TBI, and the decrease was more significant in secondary bile acids, which may contribute to intestinal inflammation. Specific bacterial taxa such as Staphylococcus and Lachnospiraceae that may contribute to the bile acid metabolic changes were identifed. In conclusion, our study suggested that TBI-induced gut microbiota dysbiosis may contribute to gastrointestinal dysfunction via altering bile acid profile. Gut microbiota may be a potential treatment target for TBI-induced gastrointestinal dysfunction.</jats:p>","journal":"Journal of Neurotrauma","year":2022,"id":589706,"datarank":2.7810005201931935,"base_score":4.532599493153256,"endowment":4.532599493153256,"self_citation_contribution":0.6798899239729885,"citation_network_contribution":2.101110596220205,"self_endowment_contribution":0.6798899239729885,"citer_contribution":2.101110596220205,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":92,"citer_count":76,"citers_with_citation_signal":62,"citers_with_endowment":62,"datacite_reuse_total":12,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":null,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":false,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":null,"fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1508759,"name":"Yuanrun Zhu","orcid":null,"position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":74330,"name":"Anqi Wei","orcid":"0000-0003-1617-8199","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1202605,"name":"Juan Du","orcid":"0000-0002-5068-3992","position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1257257,"name":"Yadong Wang","orcid":"0009-0006-2096-0094","position":4,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1508760,"name":"Peidong Zheng","orcid":null,"position":5,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1508761,"name":"Mengdi Tu","orcid":null,"position":6,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":288254,"name":"Hao Wang","orcid":"0000-0002-0900-5807","position":7,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1508762,"name":"Liang Wen","orcid":null,"position":8,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1048336,"name":"Xiaofeng Yang","orcid":"0000-0002-9579-6413","position":9,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":1508758,"name":"Wendong You","orcid":null,"position":0,"is_corresponding":false}],"reference_count":0,"raw_metadata":{"has_enrichment":true,"resolved":true,"title":"Traumatic Brain Injury Induces Gastrointestinal Dysfunction and Dysbiosis of Gut Microbiota Accompanied by Alterations of Bile Acid Profile","abstract":"<jats:p>Gastrointestinal dysfunction is a common peripheral organ complication after traumatic brain injury (TBI), yet the underlying mechanism remains unknown.
