Abstract:
Aim To build a simple experiment model of rat colon injury induced by acetic acid in vitro and to observe the effects of melatonin on this model.Methods On the basis of the establishment of rat colon injury model with acetic acid in vitro,we observed the colon mucosal damage caused by different concentrations of acetic acid(0,0.1%,0.2% and 0.4%) for different time(5,10,15,20,25 and 30 min),determined the content of lactic dehydrogenase(LDH),malondiadehyde(MDA) and mucus in medium,and examined the histological changes of colon mucosa by Alacian Blue method.On the basis of the establishment of this model,the experiment was designed into normal group,model group(acetic acid of 0.4%,time for 30 min) and melatonin treatment group(the final concentration 0.1,1.0、10 mmol?L~(-1)),and the indicators described above were detected to investigate the protective effects of melatonin.Results The LDH content of medium elevated gradually and the colon mucosal epithelial cells were injured by acetic acid in dose-and time-dependent manner,the mucosal edema,colon-wall depth and epithelium lose were observed at the same time,the MDA content of medium enhanced and mucus reduced correspondingly,but no significant change of the mucin expression in mucosal epithelial cells were observed.Pretreatment with melatonin reduced the release of LDH and MDA while promoted the secretion of mucus.Conclusion Colon mucosa of rats was injured by acetic acid in dose-and time-dependent manner in vitro.Acetic acid can impair the mucosal-mucus barrier by oxidating injured cell memberane.Melatonin can strengthen the barrier function of colon mucosa by its anti-oxidant action,attenuate the direct damage on colon mucosa of acetic acid.
