Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Huangqin Decoction on Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Ulcerative Colitis in Mice Through Regulation of the Gut Microbiota and Suppression of the Ras-PI3K-Akt-HIF-1α and NF-κB Pathways. |
| T2 |
213-223 |
Sentence |
denotes |
OBJECTIVE: |
| T3 |
224-382 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Huangqin decoction (HQD), a classical traditional Chinese medicinal formula, has been commonly used to treat gastrointestinal diseases for thousands of years. |
| T4 |
383-526 |
Sentence |
denotes |
We investigated the anti-inflammatory effects and underlying mechanisms of HQD on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC). |
| T5 |
527-535 |
Sentence |
denotes |
METHODS: |
| T6 |
536-658 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Experimental mice were given 3% DSS, and HQD (2.275, 4.55, and 9.1 g/kg), or mesalazine (ME, 200 mg/kg) orally for 7 days. |
| T7 |
659-825 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Body weight loss, disease activity index (DAI), colon length, histology, and levels of inflammatory cytokines were measured to evaluate the effects of HQD on colitis. |
| T8 |
826-1019 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The effects of HQD on the Ras-phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt-hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways were evaluated by Western blot analysis. |
| T9 |
1020-1118 |
Sentence |
denotes |
In addition, the gut microbiota was characterized using high-throughput Illumina MiSeq sequencing. |
| T10 |
1119-1127 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
| T11 |
1128-1325 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The results showed that HQD significantly reduced the body weight loss, ameliorated DAI, restored colon length, and improved the intestinal epithelial cell barrier in mice with DSS-induced colitis. |
| T12 |
1326-1434 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels of inflammatory mediators were decreased following HQD treatment. |
| T13 |
1435-1527 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Furthermore, the Ras-PI3K-Akt-HIF-1α and NF-κB pathways were significantly inhibited by HQD. |
| T14 |
1528-1605 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Finally, treatment with HQD resulted in recovery of gut microbiota diversity. |
| T15 |
1606-1755 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSIONS: HQD ameliorates DSS-induced colitis through regulation of the gut microbiota, and suppression of Ras-PI3K-Akt-HIF-1α and NF-κB pathways. |
| T16 |
1756-1836 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Our results suggested that HQD may be a potential candidate for treatment of UC. |
