Abstract
Pleurotus eryngii, an edible mushroom recognized for its potent polysaccharides, demonstrates significant regulatory effects on metabolic processes. β-glucan (WPEP) derived from P. eryngii has been noted for its therapeutic potential, exhibiting notable benefits in alleviating colonic inflammation and restructuring gut microbiota in mice treated with dextran sodium sulfate (DSS). This study focuses on utilizing DSS-induced colitis mice to explore the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of WPEP in ameliorating colitis, employing a metabolomics approach analyzing urine and serum. The findings reveal that WPEP administration effectively regulates metabolic imbalances in DSS mice, impacting purine metabolism, pentose and glucuronic acid interconversion, amino acid metabolism, primary bile acid biosynthesis, citric acid cycle, and lipid metabolism. Furthermore, WPEP demonstrates a capacity to modulate colitis by regulating diverse metabolic pathways, consequently influencing intestinal barrier integrity, motility, inflammation, oxidative stress, and immunity. These insights suggest that WPEP is a promising food component for managing inflammatory bowel diseases.
