Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a subtype of inflammatory bowel disease affecting the colon with idiopathic origin. Melinjo endosperm extract (MeE) contains polyphenolic compounds that have antioxidative and anticancer properties. We examined effect MeE on inflammation mucin expression in colons UC mice treated dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). C57BL/6J male were assigned into four categories: control, DSS + 0% MeE, 0.1% 0.5% MeE. The control group was provided distilled water standard chow diet for 4 weeks. In groups, 3 weeks followed by diets drinking containing 3% week. Macrophage count, mucus area stained Alcian blue (AB), levels adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK), nuclear factor-κB (NFκB) p65, silent information regulator (Sirt) 1 expression, as well proinflammatory mediators Mucin 2 mRNA assessed. group, AB-stained areas observed to be lower than those controls. However, +0.5% significantly increased. Compared macrophage number, IL-1β mRNA, NFκB p65 showed significant increase. Conversely, these decreased group. phosphorylated AMPK Sirt1 upregulated conclusion, may alleviate injury reducing infiltration regulating AMPK/NFκB/Sirt1 pathway.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a long-term, progressive, and recurrent intestinal inflammatory disorder. The pathogenic mechanisms of IBD are multifaceted associated with oxidative stress, unbalanced gut microbiota, aberrant immune response. Indeed, stress can affect the progression development by regulating homeostasis microbiota Therefore, redox-targeted therapy promising treatment option for IBD. Recent evidence has verified that Chinese herbal medicine (CHM)-derived polyphenols, natural antioxidants, able to maintain redox equilibrium in tract prevent abnormal radical responses. Here, we provide comprehensive perspective implementing antioxidants as potential candidate medications. In addition, demonstrate novel technologies stratagems promoting antioxidative properties CHM-derived including delivery systems, chemical modifications, combination strategies.

The pivotal roles of gut microbiota in severe acute pancreatitis-associated lung injury (SAP-ALI) are increasingly revealed, and recent discoveries the gut-lung axis have provided potential approaches for treating SAP-ALI. Qingyi decoction (QYD), a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), is commonly used clinical to treat However, underlying mechanisms remain be fully elucidated. Herein, by using caerulein plus lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced SAP-ALI mice model antibiotics (Abx) cocktail-induced pseudogermfree model, we tried uncover administration QYD explored its possible mechanisms. Immunohistochemical results showed that severity intestinal barrier functions could affected relative depletion bacteria. composition was partially recovered after treatment with decreased Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio increased abundance short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)-producing Correspondingly levels SCFAs (especially propionate butyrate) feces, gut, serum, lungs were observed, generally consistent changes microbes. Western-blot analysis RT-qPCR indicated AMPK/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway activated oral QYD, which found possibly related regulatory effects on intestine lungs. In conclusion, our study provides new insights into through modulating has prospective practical value use future. IMPORTANCE Gut affects function. During SAP, significant increase pathogens (Escherichia, Enterococcus, Enterobacter, Peptostreptococcus, Helicobacter) observed. At same time, pathogenic bacteria SCFAs-producing (Bacteroides, Roseburia, Parabacteroides, Prevotella, Akkermansia). addition, mediated along may play an essential role preventing pathogenesis SAP-ALI, allows reduced systemic inflammation restoration barrier.
