Modified Da-chai-hu Decoction regulates the expression of occludin and NF-κB to alleviate organ injury in severe acute pancreatitis rats / 中国天然药物

Modified Da-chai-hu Decoction (MDD), a traditional Chinese medicinal formulation, which was empirically generated from Da-chai-hu decoction, has been utilized to treat severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) for decades. The aim of the present study was to explore its potential organprotective mechanism in SAP. In the present study, rat SAP model was induced by retrograde injection of 3.5% sodium taurocholate into the biliopancreatic duct, MDD (23.35 g/kg body weight, twelve times the clinical dose) were orally given at 2 h before and 10 h after injection. At 12 h after model induction, blood was taken from vena cava for analysis of amylase, diamine oxidase (DAO), pulmonary surfactant protein-A (SP-A), and C-reactive protein (CRP). Histopathological change of pancreas, ileum and lung was assayed by H&E staining, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity were determinated using colorimetric assay, and the expressions of occludin and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) were detected by real-time RT-PCR and western blot, respectively. In addition, the tissue concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The results showed that in SAP rats, MDD significantly alleviated histopathological damage, depressed the MPO activity and the concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β, and MCP-1 of pancreas, ileum and lung, and reduced the serum levels of amylase [(3283.4 ± 585.5) U·Lvs (5626.4 ± 795.1)U·L], DAO [(1100.1 ± 334.3) U·Lvs (1666.4 ± 525.3) U·L] and CRP [(7.6 ± 1.2) μg·mLvs (17.8 ± 3.8) μg·mL]. However, the serum SP-A concentration [(106.1 ± 16.6) pg·mLvs (90.1 ± 14.9) pg·mL] was elevated when treated SAP rats with MDD. Furthermore, MDD increased the occludin expression and reduced the NF-κB expression in pancreas, ileum and lung of SAP rats. Our findings suggested that MDD administration was an effective therapeutic approach for SAP treatment. It could up-regulate occludin expression to protect intercellular tight junction and down-regulate NF-κB expression to inhibit inflammatory reaction of pancreas, ileum and lung.

Effect of food allergy early in life on visceral hyperalgesia in the developing rats and role of substance P abnormal expression in colon / 中华儿科杂志

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the effect of food allergy (FA) on the development of visceralgia sensibility and the substance P (SP) expression in colon of developing rats with FA.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Three-week old female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into two groups (n = 10 in each). The rats in FA group were sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA) 40 µg and Al(OH)3 1 mg suspension solution (0.2 ml) intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection on day 0, only OVA 40 µg solution i.p. on day 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, respectively, and the rats were challenged by gavage with OVA solution 30 mg (2 ml) on day 20, 24, 28, 30. The rats in non-sensitized (NS) group were not challenged except handled in the same ways. The serum OVA-IgE were determined by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay (ELISA) on day 0, 30. Jejunum segments were used to observe morphological structure, the expression of eosinophils, and the density and the percentage of degranulation of mast cells (MC). The rats were appraised for the pain sensibility of intestinal tract under colorectal distension irritation by the electrophysiological method on external oblique in the 18-24 hr after the last challenge. Colons were used to analyze the expression of SP through immunohistochemical staining and computer image analyzing system.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>The serum OVA-IgE concentration and the eosinophils, mast cell, the percentage of mast cells degranulation in FA group were more than NS group (P < 0.01). The amplitudes of spike external oblique muscle of abdomen (EOMA, µV) of the FA group under the colorectal distension (CRD) pressures at 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75 mm Hg were (17.74 ± 0.72), (18.63 ± 1.72), (22.55 ± 1.70), (28.63 ± 7.00), (33.97 ± 7.34), (37.26 ± 8.40), and (17.43 ± 1.18), (17.27 ± 1.16), (17.73 ± 1.42), (19.55 ± 3.54), (23.29 ± 5.46), (25.20 ± 4.75) in NS group. With the CRD pressure increased, the amplitudes of spike EOMA increased significantly. There were significant differences between groups under the CRD pressures at 30, 45, 60, 75 mm Hg (F = 47.470, 13.367, 13.317, 15.390, P < 0.01). The expressions of colons SP in FA group and NS group are 247.12 ± 90.83 and 103.90 ± 58.94, respectively (t = 4.183, P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Sensitization through i.p. pathway and challenge by gavage with OVA in early life could result in FA in young SD rats. FA in early life enabled the amplitudes of spike EOMA and the expression of colons SP increase significantly. It may be related to increase in amount and degranulation of MC and SP abnormal expression in colon, which could lead to the development of visceralgia sensibility.</p>
