Effect of Taohongsiwutang on SCF/c-kit pathway and interstitial cells of Cajal in rats with ulcerative colitis
Objective,2,To investigate the effect of Taohongsiwutang (THSWT) on stem cell factor (SCF)/receptor tyrosine kinase (c-kit) pathway and interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) in rats with ulcerative colitis (UC).,Methods,2,SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, THSWT low-dose group (50 mg/kg), medium-dose group (100 mg/kg), high-dose group (200 mg/kg) and sulfasalazine group (positive control group, 0.3 g/kg), with 10 in each group. Except for the sham operation group, the other groups were used to establish UC model with 2, 46-Trinitro benzens a lfonic acid solution(TNBS) solution, after the corresponding drugs were given according to the dosage of each group, the abdominal aorta blood and colon tissue were collected; the pathological changes of colon tissue were detected by hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining, and the pathological scores of rats were evaluated; the ultrastructure of ICC in colon tissue was observed by transmission electron microscope; the level of serum SCF of abdominal aorta was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); the expression of c-kit positive ICC was detected by immunofluorescence, and the expression of SCF and c-kit proteins was detected by Western blot.,Results,2,Compared with those in the sham operation group, the rats in the model group had bloody stools, yellow loose stools, listlessness, slow reaction, curling up, and other symptoms, accompanied by slow weight growth, depilation, dark yellow hair color and other characteristics; the colonic tissue showed obvious congestion and blood stasis, and the muscular layer and intestinal mucosa became thinner; the colonic tissue injury score and disease activity index (DAI) score were significantly higher; the number of ICC in colon tissue was less and the structure was vague; the content of SCF in abdominal aorta serum was significantly lower, the fluorescence intensity of c-kit positive ICC was significantly weaken, and the expression of SCF and c-kit protein was significantly lower (,P,<,0.05). Compared with those in the model group, the pathological damage of colon tissue, ICC structure, colonic tissue injury score and DAI score in low, medium and high dose THSWT groups and sulfasalazine group were alleviated in varying degrees; the content of SCF in serum was significantly higher, and the fluorescence intensity of c-kit positive ICC in colon tissue was significantly stronger, the expression of SCF and c-kit protein was significantly higher (,P,<,0.05) with dose-dependency in THSWT groups, while there was no significant difference between THSWT high-dose group and sulfasalazine group (,P,>,0.05).,Conclusion,2,THSWT can alleviate the colon injury in UC rats, which may be achieved by activating SCF/c-kit pathway and protecting the integrity of ICC structure.
