It is well known that gut microbiota imbalance can promote the development of metabolic disease. Enterobacter cloacae (E. cloacae) is a kind of opportunistic pathogen in the intestine. Therefore, we hypothesized that E. cloacae accelerated the development of metabolic disease. To answer this question, we used E. cloacae to induce disease in guinea pigs. We used H&E staining to detect the pathological changes of liver and aorta and used Oil Red O staining to evaluate the lipid accumulation in the liver. And that we used a kit to detect AST content and used Western blot to detect protein levels in the liver. We found that E. cloacae could induce liver pathological changes and lipid accumulation as well as aortic wall pathological changes in guinea pigs. And E. cloacae increased the liver index to 5.94% and the serum AST level to 41.93 U/L. Importantly, E. cloacae activated liver high mobility group protein (HMGB1)/toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/myeloiddifferentiationfactor88 (MYD88)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) signal and sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c) and inhibited AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK). We conclude that E. cloacae promote nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by inducing inflammation and lipid accumulation, and E. cloacae also promote atherosclerosis. These findings are important for study on the pathogenesis and drug screening of NAFLD and atherosclerosis.
