Background Emerging evidence suggests that intestinal dysbiosis is associated with diverse pathological processes. In this study we demonstrated intestinal barrier disruption and aberrant mucosal immunity in 5/6 nephrectomized mice and the effect of probiotics on chronic kidney disease (CKD). Methods CKD was induced in 6-week-old mice by 5/6 nephrectomy. They were fed a lactobacilli mixture for 8weeks. Serum, urine and stool samples were collected for renal function assessments and gut microbiome analyses. Gut permeability, colon heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and colon epithelial integrity were evaluated and cytokine levels in colon and kidney were measured. Colon leukocytes were analyzed by flow cytometry and bone marrow-derived cells were cocultured with lactobacilli mixture. Results In CKD mice, leaky gut' was accompanied by decreased colon HSP70 and claudin-1 expression, whereas it increased pore-forming claudin-2 expression and apoptosis. Although the percentage of regulatory T cells did not differ between CKD and control mice, cytokine expression and the ratio of CX(3)CR1intermediate:CX(3)CR1high pro-inflammatory/resident macrophages increased in the colon of CKD mice. Orally administered lactobacilli partially mitigated the CKD-induced leaky gut'; restored colon epithelial HSP70, claudin-1 and claudin-2 expression and decreased apoptosis. Probiotic treatment also restored the CX(3)CR1intermediate:CX(3)CR1high macrophage ratio and increased circular dichroism (CD)103(+)CD11c(+) regulatory dendritic cells in the colon. These changes suppressed systemic inflammation and kidney fibrosis. Conclusions Our results suggest that intestinal dysbiosis-associated gut barrier disruption and aberrant mucosal immunity are important for the systemic inflammation and progressive fibrosis of CKD. Targeting the intestine might provide novel therapeutic opportunities for CKD.
