摘要

Lactobacillus species have been extensively studied for their beneficial effects on vaginal health, but recent evidence highlights their broader therapeutic potential in gut homeostasis. Building on our prior genomic analysis of 3,324 gut bacterial strains, we selected Lactobacillus gasseri TF08-1 for inflammatory bowel disease intervention. In a DSS-induced mouse model, L. gasseri TF08-1 administration produced marked clinical improvements, including attenuated body weight loss, reduced disease activity index (DAI), and restored colon length. Histological analysis confirmed its protective effects on intestinal mucosal integrity. Additionally, L. gasseri TF08-1 alleviated systemic and colonic inflammation by regulating the expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Metagenomic analysis revealed that L. gasseri TF08-1 altered gut microbiota composition, increasing microbial diversity and restoring key genera associated with gut health. These results suggest that L. gasseri TF08-1 holds promise as a therapeutic candidate for inflammatory bowel disease.
