Int Immunopharmacol 2021; 99:107920. [PMID: 34217990 DOI: 10.1016/j.intimp.2021.107920] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2021] [Revised: 06/13/2021] [Accepted: 06/21/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is associated with increased levels of inflammatory factors, which is attributed to the abnormal expression and activity of enzymes and transporters in the liver, affecting drug disposition in vivo. This study aimed to examine the impact of intestinal inflammation on the expression of hepatic carboxylesterases (CESs) in a mouse model of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. Two major CESs isoforms, CES1 and CES2, were down-regulated, accompanied by decreases in hepatic microsomal metabolism of clopidogrel and irinotecan. Meanwhile, IL-6 levels significantly increased compared with other inflammatory factors in the livers of UC mice. In contrast, using IL-6 antibody simultaneously reversed the down-regulation of CES1, CES2, pregnane X receptor (PXR), and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), as well as the nuclear translocation of NF-κB in the liver. We further confirmed that treatment with NF-κB inhibitor abolished IL-6-induced down-regulation of CES1, CES2, PXR, and CAR in vitro. Thus, it was concluded that IL-6 represses hepatic CESs via the NF-κB pathway in DSS-induced colitis. These findings indicate that caution should be exercised concerning the proper and safe use of therapeutic drugs in patients with UC.

Feiyangchangweiyan capsule protects against ulcerative colitis in mice by modulating the OSM/OSMR pathway and improving gut microbiota. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2021; 80:153372. [PMID: 33113505 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2020.153372] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/02/2019] [Revised: 09/15/2020] [Accepted: 10/01/2020] [Indexed: 06/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Feiyangchangweiyan capsule (FYC) is a traditional Chinese medicine formulation used in the clinical treatment of acute and chronic gastroenteritis and bacterial dysentery. However, the effect of FYC on ulcerative colitis (UC) and the mechanism thereof remains unknown. PURPOSE To investigate the protective effect of FYC on UC mice induced by dextran sulfate sodium and illustrate the potential mechanism of this effect. METHODS Here, we established a model of UC mice by dextran sulfate sodium and administered with FYC. The disease activity index (DAI), colon length, myeloperoxidase (MPO) content in serum, pathological structure and ultrastructural changes, and inflammatory cell infiltration of colon tissue were evaluated. Transcriptome and 16S rDNA sequencing were employed to illuminate the mechanism of FYC in the protection of UC mice. RESULTS FYC significantly alleviates the pathological damage and the infiltration of inflammatory cells in colon tissue of dextran sulfate sodium induced UC mice, rescues shortened colon length, reduces DAI score, MPO content in serum, and pro-inflammatory factors including IL-1β, IL-6, CCL11, MCP-1 and MIP-2, and increases anti-inflammatory factors such as IL-10. Transcriptomics revealed that Oncostatin M (OSM) and its receptor (OSMR) are the critical pathway for UC treatment by FYC. OSM and OSMR increased in UC mice compared to control mice, and decreased with FYC, which was verified via measurement of OSM and OSMR mRNA and protein levels. Furthermore, we observed that FYC modulates intestinal microbiome composition (e.g., the proportion of Barnesiella/Proteobacteria) by affecting the inflammatory factors. CONCLUSION FYC exerts an effect on UC by inhibiting the OSM/OSMR pathway and regulating inflammatory factors to improve the intestinal flora.

Abstract
Omeprazole is a commonly used drug in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). This study investigated the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole in rats with UC induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS). The pharmacokinetics of intravenously administered omeprazole (20 mg/kg) was investigated in normal and UC rats using LC-MS/MS. The formation of 5-OH omeprazole, a main metabolite of omeprazole, in rat liver microsomes (RLMs) from normal and UC rats was compared. The protein levels of CYP1A2, CYP2D1, and CYP3A1 in the liver were measured by Western blot. Compared with normal rats, UC rats had increased plasma concentrations of omeprazole, resulting in an increased AUC0-240 min and decreased CL. DSS treatment decreased the formation rate of 5-OH omeprazole in RLMs but did not change the affinity of the enzymes. The Vmax and CLint of RLMs from UC rats were 62% and 48% those of RLMs from normal rats, respectively. The hepatic CYP1A2 and CYP3A1 protein levels in UC rats were 42.6 and 45.2% lower than those in normal rats, respectively; however, the protein levels of CYP2D1 in the two groups were similar. The activity and expression of some hepatic CYP450 isoforms were decreased by UC, leading to changes in the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole.

Abstract
In this study, UC rat model was established by administration of 5% (w/v) dextran sulfate sodium, and the pharmacokinetics of verapamil and norverapamil were evaluated in normal and UC rats using UPLC-MS/MS after oral administration of 5 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg verapamil.The peak concentration (Cmax) and the area under plasma concentration-time curves (AUC) of verapamil in UC rats after oral administration of 5 mg/kg were significantly greater (2.5 times and 2 times, respectively) than those in normal rats, but the clearance rate (Cl) was significantly lower (by 50%). For norverapamil, Cmax and AUC were significantly greater (2.8 times and 2.5 times, respectively), and Cl was significantly lower (by 45%). But, pharmacokinetic parameters of verapamil and norverapamil after oral administration of 50 mg/kg were no significant differences between UC and normal rats.The better absorption and poor excretion for low-dose verapamil may be attributed to down-regulation of P-gp expression in the intestine and kidney. No significant differences of pharmacokinetic parameters for high-dose verapamil may be explained as the saturation of an efflux mechanism.The findings of this study suggested that in UC patients, doses of verapamil should be decreased when low-dose verapamil was orally administrated.

Abstract
Environmental chemicals originating from human activities, such as persistent organic pollutants (POPs), may interfere with the endocrine system of aquatic organisms. The effect of these chemicals on biota and human populations is of high public concern but remains poorly understood, especially in aquatic environments of South America. The aim of this study was to investigate the bioavailability of POPs and the related effects in caged male tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in four cascading reservoirs of the Iguaçu River, Southern Brazil. POPs including organochlorine pesticides (OCPs), polychlorinated biphenyl (PCBs), and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) were determined in the reservoir water and tissue samples of tilapia after two months of exposure. The PCB levels in water (14.7 ng L-1) were 14 times higher than the limits permitted by the Brazilian legislation in the Salto Santiago (SS) reservoir. Similarly, concentrations of aldrin and its metabolites (6.05 ng L-1) detected in the water sample of the Salto Osório (SO) reservoir were also above the permitted limits. RT-qPCR analysis revealed different transcript levels of cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP1A and CYP3A) in the liver among the four groups, with induced activity in tilapia from the SS reservoir. Quantification of the CYP3A mRNA expression and catalytic activity showed higher values for fish caged at the SS reservoir. The fish from this site also had a higher number of eosinophils observed in the testes. Although overt measurements of endocrine disruption were not observed in caged fish, alteration of CYP enzymes with co-occurrence of organochlorine contaminants in water may suggest bioavailability of contaminants from agricultural sources to biota. Additional studies with feral or caged animals for a longer duration may be necessary to evaluate the risks of the waterways to humans and wildlife.

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation in Experimental Ulcerative Colitis Reveals Associated Gut Microbial and Host Metabolic Reprogramming. Appl Environ Microbiol 2018; 84:AEM.00434-18.

Abstract
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is gaining attention for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC). Data from individual case studies have suggested that FMT may be beneficial for UC, but the detailed microbial and molecular basis remains unknown. Here, we employ 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabolomics to investigate the influence of FMT on gut microbial community composition and host metabolism in the dextran sulfate sodium-induced UC rat model. The findings from this pilot study suggest that FMT from normal donors to UC recipients could alleviate UC symptoms without close resemblance of donor's gut microbial and metabolic pattern. Meanwhile, FMT from UC donors to normal recipient rats triggered UC symptoms, UC-prone microbial shift, and host metabolic adaption. Gut microbiota under normal conditions could maintain stable species richness and diversity upon FMT intervention, but the disturbed gut microbiota under UC conditions could not maintain such homeostasis. Significant correlations between altered bacterial composition and host metabolism could be assigned to the pathological effects of UC (accounting for 8.0 to 16.2% of total variance) and/or the FMT intervention effects (3.9 to 7.0% of total variance). Overall, our study reveals diverse gut microbial shifts in UC related FMT and their association with host metabolic reprogramming.IMPORTANCE This study combined clinical symptoms measurement, 16S rRNA gene microbial profiling and metabolomics to comprehensively investigate the gut bacterial and host metabolic association and reprogramming in FMT-treated experimental UC. These data can advance our understanding of the effect of FMT on UC and the involvement of gut microbial dysbiosis in the development of UC.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Polysaccharides and small molecules commonly co-exist in decoctions of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs). Our previous study outlined that ginseng polysaccharides (GP) could interact with co-existing ginsenosides to produce synergistic effect in an over-fatigue and acute cold stress model via gut microbiota involved mechanisms. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to verify the interactions by examining the impact of GP on oral pharmacokinetics of ginsenoside Rb1 (Rb1), the dominant protopanoxadiol (PPD)-type ginsenoside in Ginseng, on a dextran sulphate sodium (DSS) induced experimental colitis model which was characterized by gut dysbiosis, and to delineate the underlying mechanisms in vitro. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rats received drinking water (normal group), 5% DSS (UC group), or 5% DSS plus daily oral administration of GP (GP group) for 7 days and fecal samples were collected on day -3, 0 and 6. On day 7 all animals received an oral dosage of Rb1 and blood samples were withdrawn for pharmacokinetic study. The in vitro metabolism study of Rb1 in gut microbiota from normal and UC rats and the transport study of Rb1 across Caco-2 cell monolayer were carried out in presence/absence of GP. Rb1 and its bacterial metabolites ginsenoside Rd (Rd), ginsenoside F2 (F2), Compound K (CK) and PPD were determined using LC-MS/MS. Total and target bacteria in fecal samples were determined by using 16S rRNA-based RT-PCR. β-Glucosidase activity was determined by measuring 4-nitrophenol formed from 4-nitrophenyl-β-D-glucopyranoside hydrolysis. RESULTS DSS induction did not alter AUC0-t and Cmax of Rb1, which, however, were doubled together with elevated AUC0-t of the metabolites, in particular Rd and CK, in GP group. GP influenced the microbial composition and showed a prebiotic-like effect. Accordingly, GP treatment could partially restore the β-glucosidase activity which was reduced by DSS induction. The presence of GP resulted in quicker microbial metabolism of Rb1 and higher Rd formation in first 8 h of incubation, while the impact on F2 and CK formation/conversion became obvious after 8 h. More interestingly, GP slightly stimulated Caco-2 cell growth and facilitated Rb1 transport across the Caco-2 monolayer in both directions, increasing the Papp of Rb1 from 10-7 cm/s to 10-6 cm/s. CONCLUSIONS GP alleviated DSS-induced colitis-like symptoms and enhanced the systemic exposure of Rb1 through enhancing microbial deglycosylation and intestinal epithelial absorption of Rb1. These findings further demonstrated the important role of gut microbiota in the multifaceted action of polysaccharides in the holistic actions of traditional decoction of TCMs.

Abstract
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) constitutes an important part of intestinal epithelial barrier and catalyzes glucuronidation of many endogenous compounds and drugs. Downregulation of UGT1A1 in inflammation has been reported, whereas the association with gut dysbiosis is poorly defined. This study verified the involvement of gut microbiota in intestinal UGT1A1 regulation using dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced rat colitis model plus fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT). Generally, both DSS induction and colitis-to-normal FMT suppressed mRNA and protein expressions of UGT1A1 and nuclear xenobiotic receptors (NRs) in colon, but enhanced mRNA and decreased protein of rat UGT1A1/rat NRs in small intestine. Normal-to-colitis FMT alleviated DSS-induced changes. Bacterial outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from colitis rats and rats receiving colitis feces reduced both mRNA and protein of human UGT1A1 (hUGT1A1)/human NRs (hNRs) in Caco-2 cells. Interestingly, using deoxycholate to reduce lipopolysaccharide, normal OMVs upregulated hUGT1A1/hNRs, whereas colitis OMVs decreased, indicating the involvement of other OMVs components in UGT1A1 regulation. The 10- to 50-kDa fractions from both normal and colitis OMVs downregulated hUGT1A1, human PXR, and human PPAR-γ, whereas >50-kDa fractions from normal rats upregulated hUGT1A1 and human CAR. Additionally, the conditioned medium from OMVs-stimulated rat primary macrophages also reduced hUGT1A1/hNRs expression. Both Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 and TLR4 were activated by DSS, colitis-to-normal FMT, and the opposite, whereas only TLR4 was increased in OMVs-treated cells. TLR4 small interfering RNA blocked hUGT1A1/hNRs downregulation and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, and nuclear factor κB phosphorylation evoked by bacterial OMVs. Taken together, this study demonstrated that gut microbiota regulate intestinal UGT1A1 partially through secreting OMVs, which interact with intestinal epithelial cells directly or via activating macrophage.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the tissue distribution of the main active components of Fagopyrum cymosum (FAG) extracts in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced colitis mice.
METHODS LC-MS/MS analytical method was developed to simultaneously determine catechin, epicatechin, procyanidin B1, and procyanidin B2, four main components of FAG extracts, in different mouse biological samples. The method was then validated by specificity, linearity, lower limit of quantification (LLOQ), precision, accuracy, matrix effect, recovery, and stability tests. Ulcerative colitis was then induced in mice by administering 3% DSS in drinking water for 7 d. The plasma, liver, jejunum, and colon samples from normal mice or ulcerative colitis mice were collected to analyze the distribution of the main active components of FAG extracts in mice after oral administration of FAG extracts (2.24 g/kg).
RESULTS The initial method validation indicated that the LC-MS/MS method could be used for determining the concentrations of catechin, epicatechin, procyanidins B1, and procyanidins B2 in mouse biological samples. The plasma exposures of catechin, epicatechin, procyanidins B1, and procyanidins B2 were increased in the DSS induced colitis mice compared with normal mice, but there was no significant difference (P > 0.05). However, in the tissue distribution study, we found that the concentrations of the main components of FAG in different tissue samples were significantly increased when compared with the normal mice. Taking epicatechin as an example, the concentration of epicatechin in the colitis tissue was significantly increased from 4.44 μg/g ± 0.32 μg/g to 5.77 μg/g ± 0.59 μg/g (P = 0.0014).
CONCLUSION Increased systemic exposures of main active components of FAG in ulcerative colitis may be beneficial for the therapeutic effects of FAG on ulcerative colitis.

Chem Biol Interact 2017; 271:48-58. [PMID: 28438436 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2017.04.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2016] [Revised: 03/28/2017] [Accepted: 04/20/2017] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
Dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induced experimental colitis presents a histologic resemblance to human ulcerative colitis (UC). Altered cytochrome P450s (CYPs) have been reported in this model and patients with UC. In this study, six CYPs activities were quantitatively determined in microsomes of liver (RLMs), kidney (RRMs) and intestine (RIMs) from rats with colitis at acute (5% DSS for 7 days, UCA) and remission (7-day DSS treatment followed by 7-day cessation, UCR) phases and compared with normal rats. Generally, CYPs activities varied with isoform, organ, and disease status. Hepatic CYP1A2, 2B1, 2C6/11, 2E1 and 3A1/2 activities were reduced by acute colitis and completely or partially restored after DSS was halted. Although DSS treatment decreased the Vmax of renal CYP2C6/11 and increased that of CYP2D2, their CLint, in vitro were comparable among normal, acute and remission stages. DSS treatment changed the kinetics of CYP3A1/2-mediated nifedipine metabolism in RRMs from biphasic to classical kinetics. Notably, CYP2D2 activity was elevated in liver and kidney in acute UC, while enhanced in liver and decreased in kidney in remission. In intestine, CYP3A1/2 activity was increased in UCA and further enhanced after DSS withdrawal. These findings highlight the necessity of quantifying enzyme activity for precision drug therapy.

Low testosterone in non-responsive coeliac disease: A case series, case-control study with comparisons to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Dig Liver Dis 2016; 48:1155-61. [PMID: 27378706 DOI: 10.1016/j.dld.2016.06.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/24/2016] [Revised: 06/03/2016] [Accepted: 06/06/2016] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adults with coeliac disease (CD) often report persistent fatigue, even when CD appears well controlled for unknown reasons. AIMS To evaluate common indications for testosterone panel (TP) testing and prevalence of low testosterone (T) in CD. METHODS In our case series, we determined common indications for checking TP in CD. Next, we conducted a case-control study to compare TP in CD vs. healthy controls (HC). We compared mean total T (TT), free T (FT) based on serologic, histologic disease activity. Finally, we assessed TT in tissue transglutaminase (tTG)+ vs. tTG- subjects and CD vs. HC obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). RESULTS 53 coeliac males had TP tested. Common indications included osteoporosis and fatigue. Low FT was observed in 7/13 men with osteoporosis and 5/6 with fatigue. In our case-control study (n=26 each), there was no difference in mean TT or FT between CD vs. HC, tTG+ vs tTG- or Marsh 0 vs. Marsh 3 groups. NHANES data showed no difference in mean TT between tTG+ vs tTG- (n=16 each) or CD vs. HC subjects (n=5 each). CONCLUSIONS Low T occurs in CD patients at a similar rate as the general population. Common presentations of low T may mimic non-responsive CD symptoms.
