摘要:

肠道微生物群-短链脂肪酸(short-chain fatty acids,SCFAs)轴紊乱是溃疡性结肠炎(ulcerative colitis,UC)发生发展的关键微生态机制。SCFAs作为肠道微生物群核心代谢产物,可通过维护肠黏膜屏障、调控免疫炎症反应、重塑微生态平衡及抑制炎症信号通路等参与UC病理过程。中医药具有多成分、多靶点、整体调节的特点,能够调节肠道微生物群结构、富集产SCFAs菌株、提升SCFAs水平,进而发挥肠黏膜保护、抗炎与免疫调节等作用。该文总结中医药调控肠道微生物群-SCFAs轴干预UC作用机制研究进展,探讨现存问题与发展方向,为中医药靶向微生态防治UC提供理论支撑。

Abstract:

The dysfunction of the gut microbiota-short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) axis serves as a crucial microecological mechanism underlying the onset and progression of ulcerative colitis (UC). As key metabolites of the gut microbiota, SCFAs are involved in the pathological process of UC by maintaining the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier, regulating immune and inflammatory responses, restoring microecological homeostasis, and inhibiting inflammatory signaling pathways. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is distinguished by its multi-component, multi-target, and holistic regulatory effects. It can modulate the composition of the gut microbiota, enrich SCFA-producing strains, and increase SCFA levels, thus exerting protective effects on the intestinal mucosa, anti-inflammatory effects, and immunomodulatory effects. The article summarizes the research progress of TCM in intervening in UC through regulating the gut microbiota-SCFA axis, discusses existing problems and future research directions, and offers theoretical evidence for the prevention and treatment of UC with TCM targeting intestinal microecology.

Key words: gut microbiota-short-chain fatty acids, ulcerative colitis, traditional Chinese medicine, mechanism of action
