Abstract

This study aimed to identify the therapeutic ability of a novel toll-like receptor (TLR) 5 agonist, KMRC011, on ulcerative colitis induced by Citrobacter rodentium and dextran sulfate sodium in a C57BL/6N mouse model. Ulcerative colitis was induced in the mice by the oral administration of 1% dextran sulfate sodium in sterile drinking water for seven days ad libitum, followed by C. rodentium infection on the seventh day by intra-gastric administration (DSS-CT group). KMRC011 was administered intramuscularly at both 24 h and 15 min before (Treatment 1 group), and at both 15 min and 24 h after (Treatment 2 group) the C. rodentium infection. The length of the large intestine and histopathological counts were significantly greater and mucosal thickness was significantly thinner in the Treatment 1 group compared to the DSS-CT and Treatment 2 groups. Il-6 and Il-10 mRNA expression levels were upregulated, while Ifn-γ and Tnf-α mRNA expression levels were significantly downregulated in the Treatment 1 group, compared to the DSS-CT group. NF-κB p65 expression level was elevated due to ulcerative colitis in the DSS-CT group, but was significantly downregulated in the Treatment 1 group. Overall, KMRC011 showed protective effects against murine colitis by inhibiting NF-κB signaling.
