ABSTRACT
The study aims to explore the effects of N-p-chlorobenzenesulfonyl-4-amino salicylic acid on the dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis in mouse. A total of 60 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=10):control group, DSS model group, 5-amino salicylic acid (5-ASA) group, and administration groups (N-p-chlorobenzenesulfonyl-4-aminosalicylic acid) 10, 20, 40 mg·kg-1. Model group were induced by drinking 4% (w/v) DSS solution for 7 days and normal water for the next 3 days. The positive group and drug group mouse were given 5-ASA (40 mg·kg-1) and N-p-chlorobenzene sulfonyl-4-amino salicylic acid (10, 20, 40 mg·kg-1) by gavage respectively. During the experiment, changes in body weight, bloody stool, fecal character and mental status were observed daily. Damage and repair of the colon mucosa and the pathological changes of important organs were observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. Expression of inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), interleukin 6 (IL-6), macrophage inflammatory protein 2 (MIP-2), myeloperoxidase (MPO) in serum were detected by ELISA. The results showed that bloody stools and diarrhea emerged on the 4th day after model establishment in model mice. The number of bloody mice rose to ten, and blood and diarrhea began to appear in the administration group on the 7th day. Mental status was poor and body weight decreased significantly in model group since the 4th day, and the situation was improved in the administration group and 5-ASA group. Colons in the administration groups (10, 20, 40 mg·kg-1) were longer than those in the DSS model group. In the DSS model group, the colonic mucosa and submucosa of mice exhibited severe inflammatory cell infiltration, various degrees of necrosis, proliferation. In the middle dose group (20 mg·kg-1), the situation has improved slightly and the colonic mucosa showed mildly chronic inflammation and a small amount of inflammatory cells infiltration. The high dose group (40 mg·kg-1) showed normal colon mucosal, relatively complete epithelial structure and few inflammatory cell infiltration. The levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MIP-2 and MPO in the serum of mice were lower in the administration group (40 mg·kg-1) than in model group. Therefore, N-p-chlorobenzenesulfonyl-4-amino salicylic acid might be a feasible treatment for DSS-induced UC.
ABSTRACT
Thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1) is widely distributed in human tissues and is important in inhibiting angiogenesis.It also occupies an indispensable position in the formation, growth, differentiation, and metastasis of tumors in different tissues.TSP-1 plays an important role in the occurrence and development of various types of tumors. The inhibitory effect of TSP-1 on the angiogenesis and tumor development of oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors has been demonstrated in recent years. This paper reviews the findings and progress of TSP-1 research involving all kinds of tumors as well as oral and maxillofacial malignancies.
