| Summary: | Old age raises the susceptibility of age-related disease in domestic dogs. Discovering effective anti-aging interventions is key for mitigating age-related disease and conserving “healthspan” in pet dogs. In this study, 2 bacterial strains were isolated from canine feces. After screening and identifying the strains, Weissella confusa ZJUIDS-D034 and Enterococcus faecalis ZJUIDS-D016 were chosen to intervene during d-galactose-induced senescence in mice. We found that administering Weissella confusa ZJUIDS-D034 and Enterococcus faecalis ZJUIDS-D016 improved the aging phenotype of mice, including an increase in antioxidant activity, a decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokines, and the restoration of intestinal and liver tissue damage. In addition, Weissella confusa ZJUIDS-D034 and Enterococcus faecalis ZJUIDS-D016 lead to changes in the structure of intestinal microbiota in aging mice. Specifically, there was a decrease in the abundance of the Cyanobacteria and an increase in the abundance of Akkermansia and Lactobacillus. More importantly, there was a significant increase in acetic acid, a short-chain fatty acid, due to intervention with the 2 strains. This increase might be attributed to higher Akkermansia. We show that the modulation of gut microbiota and metabolism in aging mice may be a promising strategy through which Weissella confusa ZJUIDS-D034 and Enterococcus faecalis ZJUIDS-D016 might exert their anti-aging effects. |
