This study was aimed to explore effect of baicalin on IKK/IKB/NF-kB signaling pathway and apoptosis-related proteins in rats with ulcerative colitis (UC).
Histopathological observation and scores of colon tissue were performed in the UC rat model. IKK/IKB/NF-kB signaling pathway and apoptosis-related proteins were measured by Western blotting.
Baicalin significantly increased the activity of SOD, CAT and GSH-Px in colon tissue of rats with UC, but significantly decreased the content of MDA, IL-1β, MPO, PEG2 and TNF-α in colon tissue of rats with UC. In the molecular mechanism, baicalin significantly decreased the expression of cleaved-caspase3, cleaved-caspase9, Bcl-2/Bax, cyt-c, NF-kB p-65, p-IKKβ/IKKβ and p-IKBα/IKBα. Baicalin could significantly inhibit p-IKBα/IKBα content change, but had no significant effect on p-IKKβ/IKKβ.
Baicalin may have a regulating effect on IKK/IKB/NF-kB signaling pathway and apoptosis-related proteins in UC rats.
本研究旨在探讨黄芩素对溃疡性结肠炎(UC)大鼠 IKK/IKB/NF-kB 信号通路及凋亡相关蛋白的影响。
采用组织病理学观察和结肠组织评分法建立 UC 大鼠模型,Western blot 法检测 IKK/IKB/NF-kB 信号通路及凋亡相关蛋白。
黄芩素能显著提高 UC 大鼠结肠组织中超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)的活性,降低 MDA、IL-1β、MPO、PEG2 和 TNF-α的含量。在分子机制方面,黄芩素能显著降低 cleaved-caspase3、cleaved-caspase9、Bcl-2/Bax、cyt-c、NF-kB p-65、p-IKKβ/IKKβ和 p-IKBα/IKBα的表达。黄芩素能显著抑制 p-IKBα/IKBα含量的变化,但对 p-IKKβ/IKKβ无明显影响。
黄芩素可能通过调节 IKK/IKB/NF-kB 信号通路及凋亡相关蛋白对 UC 大鼠发挥作用。
