Összefoglaló szövege

Introduction: Several lines of evidence suggest that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs do not only damage the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract, but also alter significantly the composition of the microbiota. It is, however, still not clear whether selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors, that are much safer for the gastrointestinal tract, have any effect on the small intestinal microbes. Although celecoxib was shown to induce dysbiosis, it also has direct antibacterial effect against Gram-positive strains, therefore its dysbiotic effect may be unrelated to COX-2 inhibition. Aims: To evaluate the effects of another selective COX-2 inhibitor, rofecoxib, 1) on the small intestinal microbiota in the rat, and 2) on the growth of distinct Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria in vitro. Methods: Male Wistar rats were treated with either or with its vehicle for 4 weeks. After the chronic treatment the jejunal luminal content was collected, and the composition of its microflora was determined by deep sequencing of 16S rRNA. The direct effect of rofecoxib on the growth of various bacteria was examined by the broth microdilution assay. Results: 1. Celecoxib inhibited the growth of various Gram-positive bacteria, with MICs ranging from 32-64 mg/l, whereas Gram-negative bacteria were not affected. In contrast, rofecoxib (up to 256 mg/l) had no significant inhibitory effect on the growth of any of the bacteria tested. 2. The 4-week treatment with rofecoxib did not influence significantly the abundance of the identified small intestinal organisms and had no significant effect on the diversity of microbiota. Conclusions: This study demonstrates for the first time that selective COX-2 inhibition does not influence the small intestinal microbiota, and suggests that the observed dysbiotic effect of celecoxib is due to its direct antibacterial property. The research was supported by National Research, Development and Innovation Office of Hungary (NKFI FK 124878; NVKP-16-1-2016-0017 National Heart Program).
