Intestinal Microflora Diversity of Rats Treated with Scutellariae Radix Based on Theory of " Insight into Abdomen"
To explore the effect of Scutellariae Radix on the diversity of intestinal flora in rats under physiological conditions
in order to determine the property of Scutellariae Radix property.
Method:
2
16S rRNA high-throughput gene sequencing technique was used to detect the cecum solutes of rats treated with Scutellariae Radix (10 g·kg
-1
). The number
richness and diversity index of the intestinal flora taxon (OTUs) and the differential phylum and genus were comprehensively analyzed. The network visualization was used to find the correlation between differential phylum and genus.
Result:
2
Based on the Illumina Miseq platform
compared with the blank group
the number of OTUs and the index of richness and diversity of the intestinal flora of the rats treated with Scutellariae Radix decreased. Bacteroidetes and Spirochaetes were significantly up-regulated(
P
<
0.01)
while Firmicutes
Actinobacteria
Proteobacteria and Tenericutes were significantly down-regulated(
P
<
0.01). Among the 24 differential bacteria genera
17 were significantly down-regulated(
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01)
while 7 species were significantly up-regulated(
P
<
0.01). On the basis of the network visualization analysis
the most influential phylua were Bacteroides and Firmicutes
in which Firmicutes showed a negative correlation with the rest of phylum
with the strongest negative correlation with spirochetes. There was a positive correlation between Bacteroides
Proteobacteria and Firmicutes
but a negative correlation with Actinobacteria
and no correlation with other phylum. Most of the differential bacteria were enriched in
Ruminococcus
Paraprevotella
Prevotella
and
Oscillospira
.
Conclusion:
2
Scutellariae Radix can reduce the diversity of intestinal flora and inhibit the metabolism of the body
