Scope: The proliferation and differentiation of intestinal stem cells (ISCs) are the basis of intestinal renewal and regeneration, and gut microbiota plays an important role in it. Dietary nutrition has the effect of regulating the activity of ISCs; however, the regulation effect of α‐linolenic acid (ALA) has seldom been reported. Methods and Results: After intervening mice with different doses of ALA for 30 days, it is found that ALA (0.5 g kg−1) promotes small intestinal and villus growth by activating the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway to stimulate the proliferation of ISCs. Furthermore, ALA administration increases the abundance of the Ruminococcaceae and Prevotellaceae, and promotes the production of short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Subsequent fecal transplantation and antibiotic experiments demonstrate that ALA on the proliferation of ISCs are gut microbiota dependent, among them, the functional microorganism may be derived from Ruminococcaceae. Administration of isobutyrate shows a similar effect to ALA in terms of promoting ISCs proliferation. Furthermore, ALA mitigates 5‐fluorouracil‐induced intestinal mucosal damage by promoting ISCs proliferation. Conclusion: These results indicate that SCFAs produced by Ruminococcaceae mediate ALA promote ISCs proliferation by activating the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway, and suggest the possibility of ALA as a prebiotic agent for the prevention and treatment of intestinal mucositis. In this work, it is shown that short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced by Ruminococcaceae mediate α‐linolenic acid (ALA) promote intestinal stem cells (ISCs) proliferation by activating the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway, and suggest the possibility of ALA as a prebiotic agent for the prevention and treatment of intestinal mucositis.
