Abstract
Exposure to xenobiotics can increase the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). When detoxification organs such as the intestines and liver cannot neutralise these xenobiotics, it can induce oxidative stress and cause damage to tissues. Therefore, cell-based bioassays that indicate intracellular ROS production are a useful screening tool to evaluate the effect of these chemicals. Although flow cytometry is commonly used to measure ROS in cells, many research laboratories in the Global South do not always have access to such specialised instrumentation. Therefore, we describe a sensitive but low-cost method that can easily be used to determine ROS production in vitro. This method employs the fluorogenic dye, 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCF-DA), which emits fluorescence after being oxidised to a fluorescent derivative. Since the H2DCF-DA bioassay indicates non-specific ROS production it can be used as a marker of overall oxidative stress. This method was validated by exposing human duodenum epithelial adenocarcinoma (HuTu-80) and rat liver epithelial hepatoma (H4IIE-luc) cells to agricultural soil samples.•Production of ROS can be determined in vitro in intestinal and liver cells.•This method is inexpensive and can be easily performed in standard laboratories.•The method provides a tool for the high-throughput screening of environmental samples.

NSAID-Associated Small Intestinal Injury: An Overview From Animal Model Development to Pathogenesis, Treatment, and Prevention. Front Pharmacol 2022; 13:818877. [PMID: 35222032 PMCID: PMC8864225 DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.818877] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2021] [Accepted: 01/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
With the wide application of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), their gastrointestinal side effects are an urgent health burden. There are currently sound preventive measures for upper gastrointestinal injury, however, there is a lack of effective defense against lower gastrointestinal damage. According to a large number of previous animal experiments, a variety of NSAIDs have been demonstrated to induce small intestinal mucosal injury in vivo. This article reviews the descriptive data on the administration dose, administration method, mucosal injury site, and morphological characteristics of inflammatory sites of various NSAIDs. The cells, cytokines, receptors and ligands, pathways, enzyme inhibition, bacteria, enterohepatic circulation, oxidative stress, and other potential pathogenic factors involved in NSAID-associated enteropathy are also reviewed. We point out the limitations of drug modeling at this stage and are also pleased to discover the application prospects of chemically modified NSAIDs, dietary therapy, and many natural products against intestinal mucosal injury.
