摘要

The gut dysbiosis is associated with the progression of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Probiotics have been demonstrated to impact disease progression via the gut-brain axis. This study aims to investigate the therapeutic potential of Akkermansia Muciniphila Akk11 (Akk11) in the 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced PD mouse model. Our results indicated that Akk11 administration significantly improved the MPTP-induced behavioral abnormalities, reduced the loss of dopaminergic neurons, microglia activation, reversed the production of inflammatory cytokines, and colonic damage. Mechanistic studies showed that Akk11 administration suppressed inflammatory responses by inhibiting microglial NLRP3 inflammasome activation. In summary, Akk11 alleviated MPTP-induced motor deficits and neural damage by inhibiting microglial NLRP3 inflammasome. These findings suggest that Akk11 supplementation has therapeutic potential in treating PD through the gut-brain axis.
