WANG Yiying, LIU Jianjun, XIONG Yongjian, ZHANG Yongli, WEN Yuqi, XUE Mengli, GUO Huishu, QIU Juanjuan. Analysis of composition of gut microbial community in a rat model of functional dyspepsia treated with Simo Tang (四磨汤)[J]. Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine, 2024, 44(6): 1168-1176.
Figure 1 Establishment of a rat model of FD and the intervention effect of SMT A: trends of body weight in rats; B: sucrose preference rate; C: intestinal propulsion rate. N group: SD rats without treatment (n = 3); FD group: SD rats using a tail clamping stimulation method (n = 3); SMT.G group: model SD rats were fed with SMT (6 g/kg) per day (n = 3); SMT group: model SD rats were fed with SMT (3 g/kg) per day (n = 3). FD: functional dyspepsia, SMT: Simo Tang; SD: Sprague-Dawley. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation using one-way analysis of variance (n = 3). aP < 0.01, compared with the N group; bP < 0.01, cP < 0.05, compared with the FD group.
Figure 2 Clustering of OTUs A: relative abundance of OTUs in the four groups; B: dilution curve of all samples; C: Venn diagram. OTU: operational taxonomic units; SD: Sprague-Dawley. N group: SD rats without treatment (n = 5); FD group: SD rats using a tail clamping stimulation method (n = 4); SMT.G group: model SD rats were fed with SMT (6 g/kg) per day; SMT group (n = 5): model SD rats were fed with SMT (3 g/kg) per day (n = 4).
Figure 3 SMT modulated intestinal bacterial composition in the rat model of FD A: analysis of bacterial composition in different groups at phylum level; B: comparison of the Ace index; C: comparison of the Chao1 index; D: comparison of the Shannon index; E: comparison of the Simpson index; F: principal coordinates analysis based on weighted Unifrac distances. FD: functional dyspepsia, SMT: Simo Tang; SD: Sprague-Dawley. N group: SD rats without treatment (n = 5); FD group: SD rats using a tail clamping stimulation method (n = 4); SMT.G group: model SD rats were fed with SMT (6 g/kg) per day (n = 5); SMT group: model SD rats were fed with SMT (3 g/kg) per day (n = 5). Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation using one-way analysis of variance (n = 4-5). aP < 0.01: compared with the N group; bP < 0.05: compared with the N group; cP < 0.05: compared with the FD group.
Figure 4 LEfSe analysis of microbiota in different groups A: LEfSe identified the most differentially abundant bacterial taxa in different groups. LDA threshold > 4 is shown; B: taxonomic cladogram obtained from LEfSe analysis of 16S rDNA sequences. LefSe: Linear discriminant analysis effect size; SD: Sprague-Dawley. N group: SD rats without treatment (n = 5); FD group: SD rats using a tail clamping stimulation method (n = 5); SMT.G group: model SD rats were fed with SMT (6 g/kg) per day (n = 4); SMT group: model SD rats were fed with SMT (3 g/kg) per day (n = 4).
