Objective To explore the role and potential mechanisms of plasma-activated solution(PAS)in alleviating dextran sulfate sodium salt(DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis.Methods We constructed a DSS-induced ulcerative colitis mouse model and evaluated the effect of PAS in vivo by observing mouse weight,calculating disease activity indexes,detecting inflammatory factors and oxidative stress indicators through ELISA.We also evaluated the effect of PAS on colon cell proliferation and migration ability through clone formation experiments,scratch experiments,and used Western blotting to determine the expression levels of proliferation-related proteins.Results PAS significantly reversed DSS-induced weight loss and increased disease activity indexes in mice(P＜0.05).The serum inflammatory cytokine levels(TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β)in PAS group were significantly reduced compared to those in DSS group(P＜0.05).PAS treatment could improve the imbalance of colonic redox homeostasis including changes of malondialdehyde,catalase and superoxide dismutase caused by DSS(P＜0.05).After the use of endothelial nitric oxide synthase inhibitors,changes in various indicators caused by in vivo PAS disappeared(P＜0.001).The clone formation ability of colon cells was stronger in the group treated with PAS,and the expression of proliferation-related proteins increased.Cell scratch experiments suggested that intervention with PAS could reverse the decrease in cell migration ability caused by lipopolysaccharide(P＜0.001).After the application of endothelial nitric oxide synthase inhibitors,the pro-proliferative and migratory effects of PAS disappeared(P＜0.05).Conclusion PAS alleviate DSS-induced colitis in mice and promote colonic epithelial cell repair through the eNOS pathway.

Objective To explore the application of plasma-activated solution(PAS)in the treatment of peritoneal metastasis in mice.Methods A mice model of peritoneal tumor transplantation was established,and PAS was prepared for intervention in the mice.The growth of the peritoneally transplanted tumor was assessed using in vivo imaging technology,while the apoptosis level was evaluated through flow cytometry,immunofluorescence,and Western blotting.Results At the in vitro level,there was no significant impact on tumor cell apoptosis level under adherent conditions observed when utilizing PAS(P＞0.05).Under non-adherent condition,PAS significantly augmented tumor cell apoptosis level(P＜0.05),substantially increased the proportion of deceased cells(P＜0.05),and markedly elevated intracellular total and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species levels(P＜0.05).In vivo level,using PAS following peritoneal transplanted tumor formation exhibited no noteworthy influence on peritoneal transplanted tumor growth(P＞0.05),while immediate utilization of PAS during model conducting effectively reduced abdominal tumor spread(P＜0.05).Conclusion PAS inhibits tumor peritoneal dissemination in mice by promoting tumor cell anoikis.
