Cathartic colon is a type of laxative-dependent constipation accompanied by severe enteric nerve and intestinal barrier damage, and probiotic intervention is expected to be an effective treatment for it.In this study, an animal model of the cathartic colon was established using senna extract treatment to study the alleviating effect of Lacticaseibacillus paracasei CCFM1164 on the cathartic colon and to investigate its possible pathways.Results showed that L. paracasei CCFM1164 shortened the time to pass the first black stool and increased the number of fecal pellets within 5 h to relieve constipation in cathartic colon mice.The possible mechanisms underlying the alleviation of the cathartic colon were increasing the relative abundance of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)-producing bacteria, such as Lactobacillus and Marvinbryantia, to increase the content of SCFAs in the feces, enhancing the content of acetylcholine (ACh) in the colon, which in turn promotes the secretion of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and thereby repairs the enteric nervous system, and further reducing intestinal inflammation and repairing the intestinal mechanical barrier.This study provides a theoretical basis for probiotics to relieve the cathartic colon.
