RESUMO

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an idiopathic, chronic disorder of the intestines characterized by excessive inflammation and oxidative stress. Loganic acid (LA) is an iridoid glycoside reported to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, the beneficial effects of LA on UC are unexplored yet. Thus, this study aims to explore the potential protective effects of LA and its possible mechanisms. In-vitro models were employed using LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophage cells, and Caco-2 cells, whereas an in-vivo model of ulcerative colitis was employed using 2.5% DSS in BALB/c mice. Results indicated that LA significantly suppressed the intracellular ROS levels and inhibited the phosphorylation of NF-κB in both RAW 264.7 and Caco-2 cells, contrarily LA activated the Nrf2 pathway in RAW 264.7 cells. In DSS-induced colitis mice, LA significantly alleviated the inflammation and colonic damage by decreasing the pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1ß, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ), oxidative stress markers (MDA, and NO), and also expression levels of various inflammatory proteins (TLR4 and NF-кB) which was evidenced by immunoblotting. On the contrary, the release of GSH, SOD, HO-1, and Nrf2 were profoundly increased upon LA treatment.Subsequently, molecular docking studies showed that LA interacts with active site regions of target proteins (TLR4, NF-κB, SIRT1, and Nrf2) through hydrogen bonding and salt bridge interaction. The current findings demonstrated that LA could exhibit a protective effect in DSS-induced ulcerative colitis through its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant effects via inactivating the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway and activating the SIRT1/Nrf2 pathways.
