Effect of Polygoni Hydropiperis Herba on Intestinal Mucosal Repair in Diarrhea Mice Induced by
Objective:To study the effect of Polygoni Hydropiperis Herba on diarrhea mice induced by Escherichia coli
in order to explore its possible mechanism. Method:A total of 160 KM mice were randomly divided into blank group
model group
berberine group and drug groups (high-dose
medium-dose and low-dose Polygoni Hydropiperis Herba). All of the other groups
except for the blank group
were injected intraperitoneally with E. coli. The blank group and the model group were given normal saline intragastrically
drug groups were administrated with Polygoni Hydropiperis Herba extract at the dose of 2.5
5
7.5 g·kg-1 respectively
and the berberine group was given 0.025 g·kg-1 of berberine.On the 1st
2nd
4th and 6th days after intraperitoneal injection with E. coli
5 mice were randomly selected from each group. Their duodenum histopathological features were observed under optical microscope. The content of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) was determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
the mRNA expression levels of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)
and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) Smad3 and Smad7 were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). Result:The duodenal intestinal mucosal injury in mice could be significantly alleviated by Polygoni Hydropiperis Herba. ELISA results showed that the content of TNF-α and IL-1β in the model group significantly increased compared with the blank group(P<0.01). The content of TNF-α and IL-1β in the Polygoni Hydropiperis Herba groups (at dose of 5 and 7.5 g·kg-1) was reduced obviously compared with the model group (P<0.05
P<0.01). Real-time PCR results showed that the mRNA expressions of TGF-β1
EGFR in the model group significantly increased (P<0.05
P<0.01)
and mRNA expression of Smad7 in the model group was significantly reduced (P<0.01) compared with the bland group. After administration
Polygoni Hydropiperis Herba and berberine can regulate mRNA expressions of TGF-β1
EGFR
Smad3 and Smad7 in duodenum of diarrhea mice(P<0.05)
in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion:Extract of Polygoni Hydropiperis Herba has an obvious effect on diarrhea mice induced by E. coli
and the mechanism may be related to reducing the release of intestinal inflammatory cytokines
