Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that gut microbiota dysbiosis promotes the development of mastitis. The interaction of the vagus nerve and gut microbiota endows host homeostasis and regulates disease development, but whether the vagus nerve participates in the pathogenesis of mastitis is unclear. Here, vagotomized mice exhibit disruption of the blood-milk barrier and mammary gland inflammation. Notably, mastitis and barrier damage caused by vagotomy are dependent on the gut microbiota, as evidenced by antibiotic treatment and fecal microbiota transplantation. Vagotomy significantly alters the gut microbial composition and tryptophan metabolism and reduces the 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) level. Supplementation with 5-HIAA alleviates vagotomy-induced mastitis, which is associated with the activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and subsequent inhibition of the NF-κB pathway. Collectively, our findings indicate the important role of the vagus-mediated gut-mammary axis in the pathogenesis of mastitis and imply a potential strategy for the treatment of mastitis by targeting the vagus-gut microbiota interaction.
期刊介绍:
Cell Reports publishes high-quality research across the life sciences and focuses on new biological insight as its primary criterion for publication. The journal offers three primary article types: Reports, which are shorter single-point articles, research articles, which are longer and provide deeper mechanistic insights, and resources, which highlight significant technical advances or major informational datasets that contribute to biological advances. Reviews covering recent literature in emerging and active fields are also accepted.
The Cell Reports Portfolio includes gold open-access journals that cover life, medical, and physical sciences, and its mission is to make cutting-edge research and methodologies available to a wide readership.
The journal's professional in-house editors work closely with authors, reviewers, and the scientific advisory board, which consists of current and future leaders in their respective fields. The advisory board guides the scope, content, and quality of the journal, but editorial decisions are independently made by the in-house scientific editors of Cell Reports.
