The study found that diclofenac had different effects on the rat gut when administered with Yersinia enterocolitica strain 8081 or Lactobacillus fermentum strain 9338, impacting the expression of gut proteins and histopathology differently.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can induce small-intestinal injuries through inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. Gut has an important role in building and maintaining the barriers to avoid the luminal gut microbiota from invading the host, and cytoskeleton plays a crucial role in the maintenance of cellular barrier. The recent advances suggest a bi-directional interaction between the drugs and gut microbiota, where gut microbes can metabolize the drugs, and in response drugs can alter the composition of gut microbiota. In the present study, we evaluated the effect of diclofenac on rat gut, when co-administrated with either Yersinia enterocolitica strain 8081 (an enteropathogen) or Lactobacillus fermentum strain 9338 (a probiotic). The LC-MS/ MS based label-free quantitation of rat gut proteins revealed 51.38% up-regulated, 48.62% down-regulated in diclofenac-Y. enterocolitica strain 8081 (D*Y), and 74.31% up-regulated, 25.69% down-regulated in diclofenacL. fermentum strain 9338 (D*L) experiments. The identified proteins belonged to cytoskeleton, metabolism, heme biosynthesis and binding, stress response, apoptosis and redox homeostasis, immune and inflammatory response, and detoxification and antioxidant defence. Further, the histopathological and biochemical analysis indicated more pronounced histological alterations and oxidative stress (enhanced malonaldehyde and altered antioxidant levels) in D*Y rats than D*L rats, compared to control rats. Elevated plus maze (EPM) test performed to determine the behavioral changes, suggested increased anxiety in D*Y rats than D*L rats, compared to control rats. These results together suggest the differential role of either bacterium in biotransformation of diclofenac, and inflammatory and cellular redox response.
