Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease with frequent relapsing inflammation in the colon. Whole grains have been promoted as healthy and sustainable foods; however, the use of whole gains in UC is inconclusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ethanol extracts of rice bran (RBE) and whole-grain adlay seeds (ADE) on inflammation, oxidative stress, and colonic damage in UC. Male C57BL/6JNarl mice were intra-rectal injected twice with 2,4-dinitrobenzene sulfonic acid to induce (day 0) and reactivate (day 21) UC. Control mice were fed AIN-93M diet (R group) and injected with a vehicle. UC mice were fed AIN-93M diet (UC group) supplemented with RBE (RBE group) or ADE (ADE group) for 21 days. The results showed that the UC group had an increased disease activity index, plasma interleukin (IL)-6 and glutathione levels, microscopic injury scores, and inflammatory cytokine and chemokine levels in the colon and decreased colonic claudin-4 compared to the R group. RBE and ADE supplementation significantly reduced UC-elevated plasma IL-6 and colonic glutathione and pro-inflammatory cytokines and a chemokine. In addition, RBE and ADE supplementation significantly decreased T-helper-cell-associated cytokines in the plasma and colon. Moreover, RBE supplementation increased colonic IL-10 and tight junction protein claudin-4 levels, and ADE supplementation alleviated diarrhea in UC mice. In conclusion, these results suggest that RBE and ADE may mitigate colonic inflammation, oxidative stress, and damage in UC relapse.
溃疡性结肠炎(UC)是一种慢性炎症性肠病,其在结肠中经常发生复发性炎症。全谷物被宣传为健康和可持续的食品;然而,全谷物在 UC 中的应用尚无定论。本研究旨在探讨米糠(RBE)和全谷薏苡种子(ADE)的乙醇提取物对 UC 中的炎症、氧化应激和结肠损伤的影响。雄性 C57BL/6JNarl 小鼠经直肠内两次注射 2,4-二硝基苯磺酸以诱导(第 0 天)和重新激活(第 21 天)UC。对照小鼠喂食AIN-93M 饮食(R 组)并注射载体。UC 小鼠喂食 AIN-93M 饮食(UC 组),补充 RBE(RBE 组)或 ADE(ADE 组)21 天。结果表明,与 R 组相比,UC 组的疾病活动指数、血浆白细胞介素(IL)-6 和谷胱甘肽水平、显微镜损伤评分以及结肠中的炎症细胞因子和趋化因子水平升高,而结肠紧密连接蛋白 4 水平降低。RBE 和 ADE 补充显著降低了 UC 升高的血浆 IL-6 和结肠谷胱甘肽以及促炎细胞因子和趋化因子。此外,RBE 和 ADE 补充显著降低了血浆和结肠中 T 辅助细胞相关细胞因子。此外,RBE 补充增加了结肠中 IL-10 和紧密连接蛋白 4 的水平,而 ADE 补充缓解了 UC 小鼠的腹泻。总之,这些结果表明 RBE 和 ADE 可能减轻 UC 复发中的结肠炎症、氧化应激和损伤。
