Project description:To understand the immunomodulatory effects of deoxyshikonin (a natural derivative of well-known Chinese medicine shikonin) on porcine intestinal epithelium cells, the transcriptome analysis was performed to explore the transcriptional profile of porcine IPEC-J2 cells after deoxyshikonin treatment.
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.
