description | Gut dysbiosis has a role in the pathogenesis of lupus. Synbiotic supplementation may restore the balance of gut microbiota. This study investigated whether synbiotics could improve gut microbiota and systemic inflammation in lupus patients. This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted in adult systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients. Subjects were randomized to receive either synbiotics or a placebo. Fecal microbiota, hs-CRP, IL-6, and IL-17 were measured at baseline and after 60 days. Patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were randomized into synbiotic (n = 23) and placebo groups (n = 23). In the synbiotic group, hs-CRP was not significantly increased (1.8 [0.9; 4.85] vs. 2.1 [0.9; 4.25] mg/L; pre vs. post; p = 0.23), whereas in the placebo group hs-CRP was increased significantly (1.75 [0.4; 4.45] vs. 3.75 [0.58; 7.05] mg/L; pre vs. post; p = 0.005). In the synbiotic group, IL-6 decreased significantly (8.76 [6.62; 11.39] vs. 6.59 [4.96; 8.01]; pre vs. post; p = 0.02), while there was no significant change in IL-17 level. In the placebo group, there was no significant change in IL-6 and IL-17. Synbiotic supplementation increased the Firmicutes:Bacteroidetes ratio (0.05 ± 0.60 vs. −0.08 ± 0.63, synbiotic vs. placebo p = 0.48) and butyrate metabolism (p = 0.037) and decreased amino sugar and nucleotide sugar metabolism (p = 0.040). There was improvement in the SLE disease activity index 2K (SLEDAI-2K) score in the synbiotic group (14 [9; 16] vs. 8 [2; 12]; pre vs. post; p < 0.001), while no change in the placebo group (9 [8; 18.25] vs. 9 [5.5; 15]; pre vs. post; p = 0.31). Synbiotic supplementation could reduce systemic inflammation and SLE disease activity and alter the composition and functions of gut microbiota. |
