Effect of Enteromorpha polysaccharides on gut-lung axis in mice infected with H5N1 influenza virus

Copyright © 2024. Published by Elsevier Inc..

Enteromorpha polysaccharides (EPPs) have been reported to have antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties. To explore the effect of EPPs on H5N1-infected mice, mice were pretreated with EPPs before being infected with the H5N1 influenza virus intranasally. H5N1 infection resulted in body-weight loss, pulmonary and intestinal damage, and an imbalance of gut microbiota in mice. As a result of the inclusion of EPPs, the body weight of mice recovered and pathological damage to the lung and intestine was reduced. EPPs also diminished inflammation by drastically lowering the expression of proinflammatory cytokines in lungs and intestines. H5N1 infection reduced bacterial diversity, and the abundance of pathogenic bacteria such as Desulfovibrio increased. However, the beneficial bacteria Alistipes rebounded in the groups which received EPPs before the infection. The modulation of the gut-lung axis may be related to the mechanism of EPPs in antiviral and anti-inflammatory responses. EPPs have shown potential in protecting the host from the influenza A virus infection.
