BACKGROUND: Oxyberberine (OBB) is a naturally occurring isoquinoline alkaloid that is believed to possess various health-promoting properties, including anti-fungus, hepatoprotection, anti-inflammation, and anti-intestinal mucositis effects. Despite several studies reporting the health benefits of OBB in treating ulcerative colitis (UC), its specific mechanism of action has yet to be fully elucidated.
PURPOSE: This investigation is designed to explore the potential protective efficacy of OBB and the latent mechanism using an in vitro model of UC-like inflammatory intestinal cells.
METHODS: Caco-2 cells were pretreated with OBB and subsequently exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER), paracellular permeability, and the distribution and expression of tight- and adherent junction proteins were determined to assess barrier integrity. The levels of proinflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS), Nrf2, and NF-κB signaling cascade were analyzed via ELISA, qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence, or Western blotting.
RESULTS: OBB was found to mitigate the effects of LPS on Caco-2 cell monolayers, as evidenced by the improvement in TEER and the decrease in FITC-dextran flux. Moreover, OBB ameliorated the LPS-induced decrease in the distribution and expression of several tight junction markers, including ZO-1, occludin, and E-cadherin. In addition, OBB treatment effectively inhibited LPS-induced increases in ROS, apoptosis, and Keap1 and decreases in Nrf2 and HO-1. LPS-induced elevations in nuclear NF-κB p65 and p-IκBα were suppressed by OBB. In addition, ML385, an antagonist of Nrf2, abolished the protective role of OBB.
CONCLUSION: OBB has a pronounced beneficial effect on LPS-induced damage to enteral barrier function, and the regulation of the Nrf2/NF-κB pathway is an important mechanism responsible for the protection afforded by OBB.
