Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5. L.johnsonii-associated purine metabolite enrichment alleviated systemic autoimmunity. An untargeted metabolomics of the feces in saline- treated and FMT treated pristane-induced mice in 44 weeks was conducted (n = 10 per group). A) Enriched KEGG pathways in fecal metabolites between saline-treated and FMT-treated mice were shown with the P values and the number of metabolites represented in each pathway. The size of each bubble represents the number of metabolites differentially expressed for each pathway, with a scale on the lower right (number). B) The matchstick map according to the differential metabolites obtained from each group of difference comparison combinations in positive mode was drawn, and the up-down of metabolites and the substances with large difference multiples were indicated. C) Pearson’s correlation analysis between metabolites in purine metabolism and significantly differentiated strains was conducted. D) Plasma inosine level was tested between Saline-treated and FMT-treated groups. E) Schematic diagram of GF mice orally treated saline and L. johnsonii (Lj, 2 OD, 0.3 mL−1/time, 6 times in total). Plasma inosine level was tested between saline-treated and Lj-treated groups. F) Overview of Lj and inosine treatment experimental design (n = 6 per group) in pristane-induced C57 mice. Orally gavage Lj (2 OD, 0.3 mL−1/time, 3 times/week), inosine (50 mg k−1g, 0.3 mL−1/time, 3 times/week), or saline started at 21 weeks of age, and lasted until 36 weeks of age. The amount of inosine in plasma from saline-treated, Lj-treated and inosine-treated pristane-induced mice was detected. G) Plasma anti-dsDNA level was detected among HC, saline-treated, Lj-treated, and inosine-treated groups. H) Statistical analyses were conducted to compare the systemic frequencies of CD4 naïve T cells and CD4 TEM cells, CD8 naïve T cells and CD8 TEM cells among HC, saline-treated, Lj-treated, and inosine-treated groups. I,J) Statistical analyses were conducted to compare the systemic frequencies of I) naïve B and J) memory B cells among HC, saline-treated, Lj-treated, and inosine-treated groups. K) Statistical analyses were conducted to compare the systemic frequencies and cell number of GCB among saline-treated, Lj-treated, and inosine-treated groups. The results are expressed as mean ± SEM. Statistical comparison was based on Student t-test and a one-way ANOVA. *p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: L. Johnsonii and Inosine Oral Gavage Experiments: Pristaneinduced C57BL/6 mice and MRL/lpr mice were colonized by oral gavage with 2 × 109 CFU of L. johnsonii, or 50 mg kg−1 inosine (MCE, HY-N0092), 300 μL−1/times, 3 times/week.
