To investigate the relationship between NOD-like receptor pyrin domain containing 3(NLRP3)/cysteine aspartate-specific protease(Caspase)-1 signaling pathway and esophageal inflammation by observing the effect of Xuanfu Daizhe Tang on the composition of inflammatory body and the expression of relevant inflammatory factors in rats with reflux esophagitis (RE)
so as to explain the mechanism of Xuanfu Daizhe Tang in treating RE.
Method:
2
Sixty healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups: the normal control group
the model control group
the Xuanfu Daizhe Tang group (9.89 g·kg
-1
) and the positive control group (omeprazole enteric-coated tablets+ mosapride
2.58 mg·kg
-1
)
with 15 rats in each group. Except for the blank control group
the remaining rats were operated by " 4.2 mm pyloric clip+ 2/3 gastric fundus ligation" to establish models. Since the 8
th
day after the operation
the rats were given corresponding drugs twice a day for 14 days. The arterial blood and esophageal tissues were taken out at the 15
th
day after the intervention. The pathological morphology of esophagus was observed by naked eyes and under light microscopy. The secretion of cytokines Caspase-1 and interleukin(IL)-1
β
in serum was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The expressions of NLRP3
Caspase-1 and IL-1
β
in esophagus were detected by Western blot.
Result:
2
Compared with the normal group
the injury of esophageal mucosa in the model group was the most serious. Compared with the normal group
the levels of Caspase-1 and IL-1
β
in serum and the expression of NLRP3 protein in esophageal tissue of the model group were significantly increased (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). Compared with the model group
Xuanfu Daizhe Tang could significantly reduce the contents of Caspase-1 and IL-1
β
in serum of rats
and down-regulate the expressions of NLRP3
Caspase-1 and IL-1
β
protein in esophageal tissue (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
Xuanfu Daizhe Tang can regulate the expressions of NLRP3 and Caspase-1
and reduce the content of IL-1
β
suggesting that it may antagonize esophageal inflammatory response
reduce esophageal inflammatory injury and treat RE by inhibiting the activation of NLRP3/Caspase-1 signaling pathway.
