Intestinal microbiota homeostasis analysis in riboflavin-treated alcoholic liver disease.

ABSTRACT: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a disease with high incidence, limited therapies, and poor prognosis. The present study aims to investigate the effect of riboflavin on ALD and explore its potential therapeutic mechanisms. C57BL/6 mice were divided into the control, alcohol, and alcohol+ riboflavin groups. 16S rRNA-seq and RNA-seq analysis were utilized to analyze the polymorphism of intestinal microbiota and the transcriptome heterogeneity respectively. KEGG and GO enrichment analysis were performed. CIBERSORTx was applied to evaluate the immune cell infiltration level. Publicly available transcriptome data of ALD was enrolled and combined with the RNA-seq data to identify the immune subtypes of ALD. Pathological and histology analysis demonstrated that riboflavin reversed the progression
