Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate Improves Intestinal Mucosal Healing by Modulating Extracellular Matrix Remodeling Genes and Restoring Epithelial Barrier Functions.

ABSTRACT: Gut mucosal healing (MH) is considered a key therapeutic target and prognostic parameter in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The dipotassium glycyrrhizate (DPG), a salt of the glycoconjugated triterpene glycyrrhizin, has been shown to inhibit the High Mobility Group Box 1 (HMGB1) protein, an allarmin strongly implicated in the pathogenesis of most inflammatory and auto-immune disorders. Here we discuss new insights on how DPG acts on MH comparing the acute phase and the recovery phase from experimental colitis in mice. We found that DPG strongly accelerates MH by differently regulating pro-inflammatory (CXCL1, CXCL3, CXCL5, PTGS2, IL-1?, IL-6, CCL12, CCL7) and wound healing (COL3A1, MMP9, VTN, PLAUR, SERPINE, CSF3, FGF2, FGF7, PLAT, TIMP1) genes as observed only during the recovery phase of colitis. Relevant issue is the identification of extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling genes, VTN, and PLAUR, as crucial genes to achieve MH during DPG treatment. Furthermore, a noticeable recovery of intestinal epithelial barrier structural organization, wound repair ability, and functionality is observed in two human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell lines exposed to DPG during inflammation. Thus, our study identifies DPG as a potent tool for controlling intestinal inflammation and improving MH.

Project description:Ilex rotunda Thunb (IR) is a traditional Chinese medicine used for the clinical treatment of gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers; however, the effect of IR on ulcerative colitis (UC) and its underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study investigated the therapeutic effect of IR on UC mice induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) as well as the potential underlying mechanism. The main components of IR were analyzed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Then we established a model of UC mice by administering 2.0% DSS for 7 days followed by 2 weeks of tap water for three cycles and administered IR. On day 56, the disease activity index (DAI), colon length, pathological changes, and inflammatory response of the colon tissue of mice were assessed. The oxidative stress and apoptosis of colon tissue were detected, and the integrity of the intestinal mucosal barrier was evaluated to assess the effect of IR. Furthermore, the relationship between oncostatin M (OSM) and its receptor (OSMR) in addition to the IR treatment of UC were evaluated using a mouse model and Caco2 cell model. The results showed that IR significantly alleviated the symptoms of UC including rescuing the shortened colon length; reducing DAI scores, serum myeloperoxidase and lipopolysaccharide levels, pathological damage, inflammatory cell infiltration and mRNA levels of interleukin one beta, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interleukin six in colon tissue; alleviating oxidative stress and apoptosis by decreasing kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 expression and increasing nuclear factor-erythroid factor 2-related factor 2 and heme oxygenase-1 protein expression; and promoting the regeneration of epithelial cells. IR also promoted the restoration of the intestinal mucosal barrier and modulated the OSM/OSMR pathway to alleviate UC. It was found that IR exerted therapeutic effects on UC by restoring the intestinal mucosal barrier and regulating the OSM/OSMR pathway.

Project description:Diarrhea has been a global health problem for centuries, and the treatment has become increasingly difficult duo to the antibiotics overuse and resistance. Quercetin is a common flavonoid of extracts of vegetables, fruits, and traditional Chinese herbs, however, the mechanism of quercetin alleviating LPS-induced duodenal inflammation remains elusive. Specific pathogen-free chicken embryos (n = 120) were allocated to groups including control, PBS with or without alcohol, LPS (125 ng/egg) with or without quercetin (10, 20, or 40 nmol/egg, respectively), and quercetin groups (10, 20, or 40 nmol/egg). Fifteen day-old embryonated eggs were inoculated with abovementioned solutions via the allantoic cavity. At embryonic day 19, the duodena of the embryos were collected for histopathological examination, RNA extraction and real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemical investigations, and Western blotting. The results demonstrated quercetin enhanced the inflammatory cell infiltration in the Peyer's patch of the intestinal mucosa after LPS induction. The LPS-induced expressions of these inflammation-related factors (TLR4, IL-1β, MMP3, MMP9, NFKB1, IFNγ, IL-8, IL-6) were completely blocked by quercetin. Quercetin also decreased the protein expression of TLR4, IL-1β, MMP3, and MMP9 after LPS induction. Quercetin could down-regulate autophagy gene expression (ATG5, LC3-1, LC3-2, and LKB1), and decreased the protein expression of ATG5, and LC3-1/LC3-2 after LPS induction. Quercetin treatment prevented LPS-induced increases of the gene expressions of programmed cell death factors (TNFα, Fas, CASP1, CASP3, CASP12, Drp1, and RIPK1); meanwhile, quercetin decreased the protein expression of CASP1 and CASP3 after LPS challenge. LPS reduced the gene expression of mucin 2, but upregulated the mRNA and protein expression of claudin 1, occludin, and ZO-1, and this was balanced by quercetin. This evidence suggests that quercetin can alleviate duodenal inflammation induced by LPS through modulating autophagy, programmed cell death, intestinal barrier function.
