ABSTRACT
Objective To study the protective effect of Tripterygium wilfordii polycoride (TWP) against TNBS/ethanol-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) rat model. Methods TNBS and ethanol enema were adopted to build TNBS/ethanol-induced UC rat model. Ninety male Wistar rats were divided into six groups normal, model, low-, medium-, high-dose TWP and azathioprine (AZA) groups, each for 15 rats. All rats were administered by corresponding medicine for 14 d. After 14 d, corresponding colon tissues underwent general and microscopic evaluation. Blood samples were taken from heart and serum was separated by centrifugation. MDA, SOD, GSH, IL-1β and TNF-α levels in serum were tested by ELISA. Colonic samples underwent RT-PCR and Western blotting analysis. Results DAI, general and microscopic evaluation all showed that TWP could promote colonic mucosa healing and such effect was equal to AZA. ELISA results about lipid peroxidation indicated that TWP could decrease MDA level and increase SOD and GSH levels in a dose-dependent manner. TWP with high dose could strongly decrease the MDA level and increase the SOD and GSH levels (P 0.05), whereas slightly stronger towards terminal inflammatory cytokines (P > 0.05). Conclusion TWP could significantly lower the infiltration of inflammatory cells under microscope, eventually led to mucosa healing, the mechanism of which was to inhibit lipid peroxidation, then further inhibit NF-κB activation, eventually lower the expression of inflammatory meditors locally and systemically.
