Project description:Aims: Atorvastatin is a commonly used cholesterol-lowering drug that possesses non-canonical anti-inflammatory properties. However, the precise mechanism underlying its anti-inflammatory effects remains unclear. Materials and methods: The acute phase of ulcerative colitis (UC) was induced using a 5 % dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) solution for 7 consecutive days and administrated with atorvastatin (10 mg/kg) from day 3 to day 7. mRNA-seq, histological pathology, and inflammatory response were determined. Intestinal microbiota alteration, tryptophan, and its metabolites were analyzed through 16S rRNA sequencing and untargeted metabolomics. Key findings: Atorvastatin relieved the DSS-induced UC in mice, as evidenced by colon length, body weight, disease activity index score and pathological staining. Atorvastatin treatment reduced the level of pro_x0002_inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α). Atorvastatin also relieved the intestinal microbiota disorder caused by UC and decreased the proliferation of pernicious microbiota such as Akkermansia and Bacteroides. Atorvastatin dramatically altered tryptophan metabolism and increased the fecal contents of tryptophan, indolelactic acid (ILA), and indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Furthermore, atorvastatin enhanced the expression level of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and interleukin-22 (IL-22) and further promoted the expression level of intestinal tight junction proteins, such as ZO-1 and occludin, in colitis mice. Significance: These findings indicated that atorvastatin could alleviate UC by regulating intestinal flora disorders, promoting microbial tryptophan metabolism, and repairing the intestinal barrier.

Project description:Abstract. Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an intestinal disease characterized by chronic recurrent inflammation, but the underlying mechanism remains undefined and requires in-depth exploration. The aim of the present study was to investigate the biological effects of a small molecular compound M1002 of oxygen-sensing signaling pathway on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced intestinal inflammation colitis mouse models. It was found that the protective effects of M1002 on DSS-induced colitis. To determine how M1002 exerted its protective effect in DSS-induced colitis, we compared the global gene expression profiles in the gut between DSS control and M1002 treatment colitis mouse groups by RNA-Seq. The results demonstrated that HIF-1 signaling pathway-related genes were significantly upregulated in the gut of M1002 treatment colitis mice, whereas the Inflammatory bowel disease signaling pathway, the TNF signaling pathway, and Cytokines and inflammatory response signaling pathway related genes were significantly downregulated in the M1002 treatment group. 16S rRNA gene sequencing demonstrated remarkable variations in the composition of gut microbiota between DSS control and M1002 treatment colitis mice. Compared with DSS control colitis mice, the relative abundance of Eubacterium_nodatum and Halomonas in the gut microbiota was significantly increased at genus level in the gut of M1002 treatment colitis mice. Based on these findings, we tend to conclude that M1002 might alleviate DSS-induced gut injury in mice by regulation of HIF-1 signaling and up-regulating Eubacterium_nodatum and Halomonas.

Project description:Abstract. Background: The cause of ulcerative colitis (UC) is not yet fully understood. Previous research has pointed towards a potential role for mutations in NOD2 in promoting the onset and progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by altering the microbiota of the gut. However, the relationship between toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and gut microbiota in IBD is not well understood. To shed light on this, the interaction between TLR4 and gut microbiota was studied using a mouse model of IBD. Methods: To examine the function of TLR4 signaling in intestinal injury repair, researchers developed Dextran Sulfate Sodium Salt (DSS)-induced colitis and injury models in both wild-type (WT) mice and TLR4 knockout (TLR4-KO) mice. To assess changes in the gut microbiota, 16S rRNA sequencing was conducted on fecal samples from both the TLR4-KO and WT enteritis mouse models. Results: The data obtained depicted a protective function of TLR4 against DSS-induced colitis. The gut microbiota composition was found to vary considerably between the WT and TLR4-KO mice groups as indicated by β-diversity analysis and operational taxonomic units (OTUs) cluster. Statistical analysis of microbial multivariate variables depicted an elevated abundance of Escherichia coli/Shigella, Gammaproteobacteria, Tenerlcutes, Deferribacteres, Enterobacteria, Rikenellaceae, and Proteobacteria in the gut microbiota of TLR4-KO mice, whereas there was a considerable reduction in Bacteroidetes at five different levels of the phylogenetic hierarchy including phylum, class, order, family, and genus in comparison with the WT control. Conclusion: TLR4 may protect intestinal epithelial cells from damage in response to DSS-induced injury by controlling the microbiota in the gut.

Project description:Ulcerative colitis (UC), belonging to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is a chronic and relapsing inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, which is not completely cured so far. Valeriana jatamansi is a Chinese medicine used clinically to treat "diarrhea", which is closely related to UC. This study was to elucidate the therapeutic effects of V. jatamansi extract (VJE) on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced UC in mice and its underlying mechanism. In this work, VJE effectively ameliorate the symptoms, histopathological scores and reduce the production of inflammatory factors of UC mice. The colon untargeted metabolomics analysis and 16S rDNA sequencing showed remarkable differences in colon metabolite profiles and intestinal microbiome composition between the control and DSS groups, and VJE intervention can reduce these differences. Thirty-two biomarkers were found and modulated the primary pathways including pyrimidine metabolism, arginine biosynthesis and glutathione metabolism. Meanwhile, twelve significant taxa of gut microbiota were found. Moreover, there is a close relationship between endogenous metabolites and intestinal flora. These findings suggested that VJE ameliorates UC by inhibiting inflammatory factors, recovering intestinal maladjustment, and regulating the interaction between intestinal microbiota and host metabolites. Therefore, the intervention of V. jatamansi is a potential therapeutic treatment for UC.

Project description:Microbiota dysbiosis has been reported to contribute to the pathogenesis of colitis, to demonstrate whether IL-17D protects against DSS-induced colitis through regulation of microflora, we performed 16S rRNA sequencing in feces from WT and Il17d-deficient mice. Our data indicate that Il17d deficiency results in microbiota dysibiosis in both steady state and DSS-induced colitis.

Project description:Our preliminary data suggest that differential gut microbiota modulates acetaminophen-induced hepatotoxicity (APAP toxicity) in mice model. The goal of our study is to determine whether commensal gut microbiota modulates the hepatic gene expressions potentially responsible for modulating APAP toxicity.

Project description:Objective: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory properties of nicotine and anatabine in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) mouse model of ulcerative colitis (UC). Methods: C57BL/6 male mice (10 groups with 8 animals each) were orally administered nicotine at a concentration of 5 or 20 mg/kg body weight or anatabine at a concentration of 5 or 20 mg/kg body weight for a total of 21 days. Colitis was induced by oral administration of 3.5% DSS in drinking water ad libitum during days 14–21. Colonic samples were collected for transcriptomic analysis and multi-analyte profiling (MAP). Results: Oral administration of anatabine, but not nicotine, reduced the clinical symptoms of DSS-induced colitis. The result of gene expression analysis suggested that anatabine had a restorative effect on global DSS-induced gene expression profiles, while nicotine only had limited effects. Accordingly, MAP findings revealed that anatabine reduced the colonic abundance of DSS-associated cytokines and increased IL‑10 abundance. Conclusions: Our results support the reduction of inflammatory effects by anatabine in the DSS mouse model of UC.
