Sumario:To study the prevention and mechanism of oat antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) on enteritis. Oat protein was hydrolyzed by alkaline protease and isolated to obtain oat antimicrobial peptides. Rat enteritis models were constructed using dextran sodium sulfate (DSS), and a blank group, a negative control group, a positive control group, and an experimental group (low dose, medium dose, and high dose) were established. Through pathological test, antioxidant test, intestinal microbial and metabolite determination, it was found that AMPS can improve the antioxidant capacity of colon, reduce the production of inflammatory cells, and have the effect of preventing enteritis. In addition, the AMPS group is able to change and reduce the abundance of Bacteroides-eggerthii-DSM-20697 and Desulfovibrionaceae, increase the abundance of probiotics such as roboutsia and Ruminococcus and optimize the diversity of intestinal microorganisms. Then, the combined analysis of microorganism and metabolites showed that Romboutsia and Ruminococcus reduced the contents of amino acid and glucose and promoted the production of phospholipid, while Bacteroides promoted the synthesis of amino acid in the body. From the above, it can be seen that DSS causes damage to the mechanical barrier of the gut. Oat antimicrobial peptides provide a microbial barrier for the gut microbes, which produce acetic acid and succinic acid with small amounts of isobutyric acid, isovaleric acid, and lactic acid. The acidic metabolites produced reduce the pH of the gut and produce substances with antibacterial effects (such as lipophilic molecules, antibiotics, and hydroperoxides). Inhibit the growth and reproduction of other harmful bacteria, Vibrio desulphuris, from adhering to and colonizing the intestinal mucosa. Secreted short-chain fatty acids, such as acetate and butyric acid, maintain tight connections between the epithelial cells of the intestinal mucosa, thus protecting the mechanical barrier of the intestinal mucosa. Moreover, amino acids are converted into phospholipid metabolism through protein digestion and absorption to promote the production of phospholipid in the intestine and repair damaged cell membranes.
