Abstract:
Objective To investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of Bupi Yichang Pills on mice with experimental colitis and its potential mechanism of action.Methods Dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)was used to model the experimental colitis,and low-,medium-and high-doses of Bupi Yichang Pills(1.5,3.0,6.0 g·kg-1·d-1)and Mesalazine(300 mg·kg-1·d-1)were fed at the same time.Mice were observed for general behavior and weighed.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the pathological injury of colonic tissues.qPCR and ELISA were used to detect the levels of inflammatory cytokines(TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-6,IL-10,IL-35 and TGF-β1),qPCR and Western Blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein levels of glucose transporters and glycolytic kinases.Results Low-,medium-and high-doses of Bupi Yichang Pills significantly down-regulated disease activity index in colitis mice(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The body mass and colon length were significantly increased,while colon mass,colon mass index and unit colon mass index were significantly reduced(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and ulcer formation and inflammatory cell infiltration in colonic tissue were significantly improved.In addition,medium-and high-doses of Bupi Yichang Pills significantly down-regulated the mRNA levels and concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines including TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6(P＜0.01),while significantly up-regulated the mRNA levels and concentrations of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-10,IL-35 and TGF-β1(P＜0.01).We further found that high-dose of Bupi Yichang Pills significantly down-regulated the mRNA and protein expressions of glucose transporters(Glut1,Glut2,Glut4)and glycolytic kinases(HK2,Aldolase A,PKM2)in colonic tissue(P＜0.01).Conclusions Bupi Yichang Pills effectively alleviates DSS-induced experimental colitis,and its specific mechanism of action is related to the improvement of glycolytic metabolic pathways and the regulation of inflammatory cytokine expression.
