Popis: Abstract Background Many studies have demonstrated the association between intestinal microbiota and joint diseases. The “gut-joint axis” also has potential roles in chikungunya virus (CHIKV) infection. Pro-inflammatory arthritis after CHIKV infection might disrupt host homeostasis and lead to dysbacteriosis. This study investigated the characteristics of fecal and gut microbiota, intestinal metabolites, and the changes in gene regulation of intestinal tissues after CHIKV infection using multi-omics analysis to explore the involvement of gut microbiota in the pathogenesis of CHIKV infection. Results CHIKV infection increases the systemic burden of inflammation in the GI system of infected animals. Moreover, infection-induced alterations in GI microbiota and metabolites may be indirectly involved in the modulation of GI and bone inflammation after CHIKV infection, including the modulation of inflammasomes and interleukin-17 inflammatory cytokine levels. Conclusion Our results suggest that the GI tract and its microbes are involved in the modulation of CHIKV infection, which could serve as an indicator for the adjuvant treatment of CHIKV infection.
