ObjectiveTo establisht a gut microbiota mice model for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) and its evaluation.MethodsThe mice received FMT from healthy individuals, COPD Ⅰ-Ⅱ subjects, or COPD Ⅲ–Ⅳ subjects. After microbiota depletion, the FMT was performed by a single oral administration of 100 μL per mouse every other day, for a total of 14 times in 28 days. On the 29th day, the peripheral blood mononuclear cells were analyzed, the gut microbiota of mice before and after FMT was analyzed by 16S rRNA sequencing, and the mice model were evaluated.ResultsThe operational taxonomic units, Chao 1 and Shannon indexes of mice all decreased significantly after antibiotic treatment (P<0.001), but increased significantly after FMT from healthy individuals, COPD Ⅰ-Ⅱ subjects, or COPD Ⅲ–Ⅳ subjects (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The abundance of Firmicutes, Proteobacteria and Actinobacteria in the guts of the mice in the healthy human FMT group, COPD Ⅰ-Ⅱ FMT group and COPD Ⅲ-Ⅳ FMT group were significantly different from those of the control group who only received phosphate buffer saline instead of FMT (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The auxiliary T lymphocytes and cytotoxic T lymphocytes were higher, but B lymphocytes decreased in the peripheral blood of the mice in the COPD Ⅰ-Ⅱ FMT group and COPD Ⅲ-Ⅳ FMT group (P<0.05 or P<0.01).ConclusionFMT can successfully establish a COPD gut microbiota research model.
