AI Article Synopsis
- The study focused on how the small blood vessels in the intestines work, looking at differences based on mouse genes, sex, and gut bacteria.
- Researchers used special tools to measure blood flow patterns in different mouse strains while also examining the effect of antibiotics on gut bacteria.
- Results showed that genetics and sex influenced blood flow and gut bacteria, and antibiotics changed blood flow patterns, particularly in female mice.
Article Abstract
Background: Intestinal microcirculation is a critical interface for nutrient exchange and energy transfer, and is essential for maintaining physiological integrity. Our study aimed to elucidate the relationships among intestinal microhemodynamics, genetic background, sex, and microbial composition.
Methods: To dissect the microhemodynamic landscape of the BALB/c, C57BL/6J, and KM mouse strains, laser Doppler flowmetry paired with wavelet transform analysis was utilized to determine the amplitude of characteristic oscillatory patterns. Microbial consortia were profiled using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. To augment our investigation, a broad-spectrum antibiotic regimen was administered to these strains to evaluate the impact of gut microbiota depletion on intestinal microhemodynamics. Immunohistochemical analyses were used to quantify platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), estrogen receptor α (ESR1), and estrogen receptor β (ESR2) expression.
Results: Our findings revealed strain-dependent and sex-related disparities in microhemodynamic profiles and characteristic oscillatory behaviors. Significant differences in the gut microbiota contingent upon sex and genetic lineage were observed, with correlational analyses indicating an influence of the microbiota on microhemodynamic parameters. Following antibiotic treatment, distinct changes in blood perfusion levels and velocities were observed, including a reduction in female C57BL/6J mice and a general decrease in perfusion velocity. Enhanced erythrocyte aggregation and modulated endothelial function post-antibiotic treatment indicated that a systemic response to microbiota depletion impacted cardiac amplitude. Immunohistochemical data revealed strain-specific and sex-specific PECAM-1 and ESR1 expression patterns that aligned with observed intestinal microhemodynamic changes.
Conclusions: This study highlights the influence of both genetic and sex-specific factors on intestinal microhemodynamics and the gut microbiota in mice. These findings also emphasize a substantial correlation between intestinal microhemodynamics and the compositional dynamics of the gut bacterial community.

Restoring microcirculatory perfusion in a preclinical model of severe hemorrhagic shock: The role of microcirculatory function.

Background: No reflow in capillaries (no reflow) is the lack of tissue perfusion that occurs once central hemodynamics are restored. This prevents oxygen transfer and debt repayment to vital tissues after shock resuscitation. Since metabolic swelling of cells and tissues can cause no reflow, it is a target for study in shock.

Sepsis is a dysregulated host response to infection with macro- and microhemodynamic deterioration. Kynurenic acid (KYNA) is a metabolite of the kynurenine pathway of tryptophan catabolism with pleiotropic cell-protective effects under pro-inflammatory conditions. Our aim was to investigate whether exogenously administered KYNA or the synthetic analog SZR-72 affects the microcirculation and mitochondrial function in a clinically relevant rodent model of intraabdominal sepsis.

Introduction: Non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI) develops without anatomical causes. Early diagnosis is challenging and treatments are of questionable effectiveness. We investigated the role of complement activation in the pathophysiology of NOMI in animal models through the inhibition of complement C5a.
