Dahuang Mudantang Alleviates Intestinal Injury in Rat Model of Acute Pancreatitis by Regulating HMGB1/RAGE/NF-κB Signaling Pathway
To explore the mechanism of Dahuang Mudantang in alleviating the intestinal injury in the rat model of acute pancreatitis via the high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1)/receptor for advanced glycation endproduct (RAGE)/nuclear factor-
κ
B (NF-
κ
B) signaling pathway.
Method
2
One hundred and twenty SPF-grade Wistar rats received retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the biliopancreatic duct for the modeling of intestinal injury in acute pancreatitis. The rats were randomized into blank, model, low-, medium-, and high-dose (3.5, 7, 14 g·kg
-1
, administrated by gavage) Dahuang Mudantang, and octreotide (1×10
-5
g·kg
-1
, subcutaneous injection) groups (
n
=20). The rats in blank and model groups received equal volume of distilled water by gavage. Drugs were administered 1 h before and every 12 h after modeling, and samples were collected 24 h after modeling. The general status of the rats was observed. The biochemical methods were employed to measure the levels of amylase (AMS) and C-reactive protein (CRP) in the serum. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to measure the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-
α
, interleukin (IL)-1
β
, and IL-6 in the colon tissue. The morphological changes of pancreatic and colon tissues were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot were employed to measure the expression levels of HMGB1, RAGE, inhibitor of NF-
κ
B kinase (IKK), and NF-
κ
B suppressor protein
α
(I
κ
B
α
)in the colon tissue.
Result
2
The rats in the model group showed poor general survival, writhing response, reduced frequency of defecation, and dry stool. The symptoms of rats in the model group were mitigated in each treatment group, and the high-dose Dahuang Mudantang showed the most significant effect. Compared with the normal group, the model group had elevated AMS and CRP levels (
P
<
0.05), which were lowered by Dahuang Mudantang (
P
<
0.05), especially that at the high dose (
P
<
0.05). Compared with the normal group, the modeling elevated that levels of TNF-
α
, IL-1
β
, and IL-6 (
P
<
0.05). Such elevations were lowered by Dahuang Mudantang (
P
<
0.05), and the high-dose group and the octreotide group showed better performance (
P
<
0.05). The modeling caused necrotic, congested, and destructed pancreatic and colonic tissues, which were ameliorated by the drugs, especially high-dose Dahuang Mudantang. Compared with the normal group, the modeling up-regulated the mRNA levels of HMGB1, RAGE, IKK, I
κ
B
α
, and NF-
κ
B (
P
<
0.05). Compared with the model group, Dahuang Mudantang and octreotide down-regulated the mRNA levels of HMGB1, RAGE, IKK, I
κ
B
α
, and NF-
κ
B (
P
<
0.05), and the high-dose Dahuang Mudantang demonstrated the best performance (
P
<
0.05). Western blot results showed a trend consistent with the results of Real-time PCR.
Conclusion
