Objectives£ºThe objective of this study was to investigate the improvement effect of Sprout of Coix lacryma-jobi var. mayuen Stapf water extract (SC) on the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis mice.
Methods£ºThe antioxidant activity of SC was measured through total polyphenol and total flavonoid content in vitro. The experiment was conducted with seven-week-old male Balb/c mice. After 1 week adaptation, acute colitis was induced by oral administration of 5% DSS dissolved in drinking water, for 7 days. And normal mice received drinking water without DSS throughout the entire experimental period. For each experiment, the mice were divided into 4 groups and 24 colitis mice were arbitrarily allocated into 3 groups (n = 8/group); Normal group, Control group, SC 100 §·/§¸ treated group (SCL), SC 200 §·/§¸ treated group (SCH). Serum and colon tissues were collected after one weeks of drug administration.
Results£ºROS levels, ONOO- levels, AST, and ALT in serum were decreased in SC treated groups compared to the control group. Western blotting measurements of Nrf2, HO-1, SOD, catalase, GPx-1/2, IL-4, IL-10, and Bcl2 showed that the SC treated groups was increased compared to the Control group. Also, western blot measurements of NF- ©§Bp65, p-I©§B¥á, COX-2, iNOS, TNF-¥á, IL-1¥â, Bax, and Caspase-3 showed that the SC treated groups was reduced compared to the Control group.
Conclusion£ºTaken together, these results suggest that SC treatment can attenuate the DSS-induced colitis though inhibiting NF-©§B pathway and enhancing Nrf2 pathway. Therefore, SC was the potential to be used as a natural therapeutic drug.
