Abstrakt:	Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has the potential to induce neuroinflammation, which may increase the risk of developing neurodegenerative disorders. Ultrasound stimulation to the abdomen is a potential treatment for dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced acute colitis. The present study aimed to investigate whether abdominal low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) can alleviate DSS-induced neuroinflammation through the microbiota-gut-brain axis. Male mice were fed DSS to induce ulcerative colitis. LIPUS stimulation was then applied to the abdomen at intensities of 0.5 and 1.0 W/cm ² . Mouse biological samples were analyzed, and behavior was evaluated. [ ¹⁸ F]FEPPA PET/CT imaging was employed to track and quantify inflammation in the abdomen and brain. Changes in the gut microbiota composition were analyzed using 16S rRNA sequencing. Abdominal LIPUS significantly inhibited the DSS-induced inflammatory response, repaired destroyed crypts, and partially preserved the epithelial barrier. [ ¹⁸ F]FEPPA accumulation in the colitis-induced neuroinflammation in the abdomen and specific brain regions significantly decreased after LIPUS treatment. LIPUS maintained intestinal integrity by increasing zonula occludens and occludin levels, reduced lipopolysaccharide-binding protein and lipopolysaccharide levels in the serum, and improved behavioral dysfunctions. Moreover, LIPUS, at an intensity of 0.5 W/cm ² , reshaped the gut microbiota in colitis-induced mice by increasing the relative abundance of the Firmicutes and decreasing the relative abundance of the Bacteroidota. Our findings demonstrated that abdominal LIPUS stimulation has the potential to be a novel therapeutic strategy to improve colitis-induced behavioral disorders through microbiota-gut-brain axis signaling.
