AIM: To observe the effect of Tripterygium glycosides on NOXs-ROS-NLRP3 inflammatory signa-ling pathways in the colon tissue in dextran sulphate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) mice, and to investi-gate the underlying mechanisms.METHODS: BALB/c mice were used and the mouse model of UC was established by DSS induction.The mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (model group, low-, medium-and high-dose Tripterygium glycosides groups, and normal group).The colon tissues were collected 21 d after Tripterygium glycosides gavage.The mRNA expression of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 in the colon tissues was detected by real-time PCR.The caspase-1 ex-pression in the colorectal mucosa was observed by immunohistochemical method.ELISA was used to detect the protein le-
vels of IL-1α, TNF-αand IL-13.The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) was measured by chemiluminescence technique, and the consumption rate of NADPH, which was inhibited by DPI, was analyzed to determine the activity of NADPH oxidases (NOXs).The neutrophils were isolated, and the ROS production, NOXs activity, and the mRNA ex-pression of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 were also detected.RESULTS: The colon tissues were abnormal with different de-grees in Tripterygium glycosides groups, and histopathological scores were lower than that in model group.In Tripterygium glycosides groups, in addition to the mRNA expression levels of caspase-1 in the colon tissues between normal group and high-dose group, ROS production, NOXs activity and the mRNA expression levels of NLRP3, ASC and caspase-1 in the colon tissues and colon-isolated neutrophils were lower than those in model group (P <0.05), and higher than those in normal group (P <0.05).The results of pairwise comparison for the efficacy of Tripterygium glycosides administration showed that the above indexes were statistically significant except the mRNA expression levels of caspase-1 between middle-dose group and high-dose group.Tripterygium glycosides administration significantly decreased the expression levels of proinflammatory cytokines IL-1αand TNF-αin the homogenates of colon tissues in the model mice (P <0.05).No differ-ence of IL-13 expression among the groups was observed.CONCLUSION: Tripterygium glycosides inhibits NOXs-ROS-NLRP3 inflammatory signaling pathways to reduce the expression of IL-1α, TNF-αand other proinflammatory cytokines, and attenuates DSS-induced ulcerative colitis in mice, by which the neutrophils might be involved in the process.

Objective To enhance the oral bioavailability of breviscapine and investigate the feasibility of preparing the proliposome of breviscapine by fluidized bed coating method. Methods The fluidized bed coating method was used to prepare breviscapine proliposome and ultrafiltration-HPLC was applied to determination of the encapsulation efficiency. The influence factors on encapsulation efficiency including carriers, drug-lipid weight ratio, inlet air temperature, spray rate, and spray air volume were investigated. Results When the carrier was sorbitol and the drug-lipid weight ratio was under 1∶3, the encapsulation efficiency could be higher. Inlet air temperature, spray rate, and spray air volume had some effects on the encapsulation efficiency. By the method, the fluidity of the proliposome granules was well and the particle size distribution ratio of them was uniform; the mean particle size of liposomal formulation of breviscapine after rehydration was 98 nm, and the encapsulation efficiency was (63.1?2.8)% (n=3). Conclusion It is feasible to prepare the breviscapine proliposome with fluidized bed coating method.

Objective Our previous study demonstrated that toll-like receptor 2(TLR2) can distinguish extraneous antigen and prevent the immunological response. This study was designed to detect the expression of toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) mRNA in cornea and investigate the effect of steroid on TLR2 expression in rats cornea following allograft penetrating keratoplasty. Methods The penetrating keratoplasty models were established in SPF rats with the 108 SD rats as receiptors and 36 SPF Wistar rats as donors, and other 6 SPF SD rats worked as normal controls. The receiptor rats were divided randomly into autograft group, allograft group and steriod group. The clarity and neovascularization of corneas of experiment rats were examined under the slit-lamp microscope and the rejection index was calculated based on Holland criteria. Corneal histopathological examination was carried out by hemotoxylin and eosin staining under the light microscope, and real time-PCR was employed for the detect of TLR2 mRNA in the corneas at the fifth, seventh and ninth day after operation. The experimental animals were obtained from the Animal Experimental Center of Southern Medical University and the procedure followed the Statement of Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology. Results The rejection occurred in 7 days after operation in allograft group, and only mild edema, opacity and neovascularization of corneas were found at different degrees in 9 days after operation in autograft group and steriod group. Severe corneal edema, a lots of inflammatory cells infiltration and new vessels in stroma were seen in allograft group, and mild inflammatory response was found in autograft group and steriod group. Normal comeal structure was exhibited in normal control group under the light microscope. The fold differences of TLR2 mRNA expression in cornea after amplification was significantly different among three groups and different time points (F_(group) = 39. 46, P = 0. 00; F_(time) =35. 38, P = 0. 00 ; F_(interaction) = 45. 66, P =0. 00), and the evident enhance of TLR2 mRNA expression was revealed in allograft group compared with autograft group (P ＜ 0. 05) and declined in steriod group (P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion Steriod may restrain the acute allograft rejection by down-regulating the expression of TLR2 in corneas and its signals transaction. This result suggests that steriod offer a protection from rejection of cornea after penetrating keratoplasty.
