摘要
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) is a probiotic with great promise in future clinical application, which can significantly promote bone formation. However, the effect of LGG on CKD-related vascular calcification is unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of LGG on CKD-related vascular calcification. After 2 weeks of 5/6 nephrectomy, CKD rats received a special diet (4 % calcium and 1.8 % phosphate) combined with 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 to induce vascular calcification. Meanwhile, CKD rats in the LGG group were gavaged orally with LGG (1 × 109 CFU bacteria/day). 16S RNA amplicon sequencing was performed to analyze the effect of LGG treatment on gut microbiota composition. Furthermore, differential ultracentrifugation was utilized to extract EVs. The effects of EVs on vascular calcification were evaluated in rat VSMCs, rat aortic rings, and CKD rat calcification models. In this study, vascular calcification was assessed by microcomputed tomography analysis, alizarin red staining, calcium content determination, and the expression of osteogenic transcription factors RUNX2 and BMP2. LGG remarkably aggravated vascular calcification. LGG supplementation significantly altered gut microbiota composition in CKD rats, particularly increasing Lactobacillus. Interestingly, EVs presented a significant promoting effect on the development of calcification. Finally, mechanistic analysis proved that EVs aggravated vascular calcification through PI3K/AKT signaling. These results do not support the supplementation of LGG in CKD-associated vascular calcification patients. Our study presented a fresh perspective on LGG with potential risks and adverse effects. CKD patients should use specific probiotic strains cautiously.
