INTRODUCTION: Scutellarein (Scu) is a natural occurring flavonoid found in multiple traditional Chinese medicines such as Oroxylum indicum (L.) Kurz and Scutellaria baicalensis, with various pharmacological activities including anti-inflammation, anti-oxidation and myocardial protection. Here, we investigated the therapeutic efficacy of Scu on ulcerative colitis (UC) and the underlying mechanism.
METHODS: Efficacy of Scu on UC was evaluated in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced colitis mouse model. Inflammation in colonic tissues was assessed by myeloperoxidase activity assay and RT-qPCR. Barrier proteins expression was examined using immunostaining and Western blot. IL-1β-treated HT-29 cells was used for mechanical investigation.
RESULTS: Gavage of Scu significantly decreased the DAI score, improved colon shortening, ameliorated the pathological score in DSS-treated mice with better efficacy than the positive drug, 5-aminosalicylic acid. Scu also inhibited the expression levels of cytokines (Il-1β, Tnf-α, Il-1α, Il-6, and Cxcl1) as well as barrier proteins (E-cadherin, Occludin, and ZO-1) in colon tissues of DSS mice. In intestinal epithelial HT-29 cells, Scu attenuated the IL-1β-downregulated expression levels of E-cadherin, occludin, and ZO-1, while reduced IL-1β-upregulated IL-6 and IL-8 mRNA levels. Moreover, Scu inhibited the phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of NF-κB and suppression of NF-κB phosphorylation abolished IL-1β-disrupted epithelial barrier integrity and IL-1β-upregulated proinflammatory mediators expression in HT-29 cells.
CONCLUSION: These data demonstrate that Scu is an efficacious therapeutic agent to treat UC. Inhibition of inflammatory responses and maintenance of epithelial barrier integrity through NF-κB signaling pathway underlines Scu therapeutic effect on UC.
