Abstract Objectives Soybean fiber (SBF) is an insoluble, but highly fermentable dietary fiber. Previous in vitro fermentation studies with human feces have shown that SBF produces 1.5–8 times more acetate, propionate, and butyrate than oat bran, corn bran, or wheat bran fiber. Short chain fatty acids (SCFA) have been reported to play a key role in maintaining colon health and reducing inflammation. The impact of dietary SBF on colonic inflammation has not previously been examined. Our objective was to determine the anti-inflammatory efficacy of dietary supplementation with SBF in a mouse model of acute colonic inflammation. Methods Male C57BL/6 J mice (5 weeks old) were randomized to AIN93G diet (CTL) or diet where 40% of the fiber was replaced with SBF (SBF-Hi). After 2 weeks of pretreatment, mice were given 2% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) as the sole source of drinking fluid for 1 week to induce colonic inflammation. During DSS treatment, mice were maintained on their diet treatments. After DSS treatment, mice were euthanized and colonic inflammation was assessed. Results DSS-treated mice had significantly larger spleens and shorter colons than mice treated with water. SBF-Hi mitigated DSS-induced increases in spleen weight (20% lower) and colon shortening (15% longer). Quantitative, reverse transcriptase PCR analysis showed that DSS-treatment increased colonic mRNA expression of interleukin-6 (Il6) and tumor necrosis factor-a (Tnfa) by 3-fold compared to water-treated mice. Dietary supplementation with SBF blunted these increases in Il6 and Tnfa by 87% and 71%, respectively. Conclusions Our results suggest that dietary supplementation with SBF may be a useful approach to mitigate colonic inflammation. On-going studies are focused on determining fecal levels of SCFA and measuring protein markers of inflammation and gut barrier function. Future studies are needed to evaluate whether the protective effects observed in this study are maintained in situations of more chronic colonic inflammation.

L-theanine is a nonprotein amino acid found in tea leaves and has been widely used as a safe food additive in beverages or foods because of its varied bioactivities. The aim of this study was to reveal the in vitro gastrointestinal protective effects of L-theanine in DSS-induced intestinal porcine enterocyte (IPEC-J2) cell models using molecular and metabolic methods. Results showed that 2.5% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) treatment inhibited the cell proliferation of IPEC-J2 and blocked the normal operation of the cell cycle, while L-theanine pretreatment significantly preserved these trends to exert protective effects. L-theanine pre-treatment also up-regulated the EGF, CDC2, FGF2, Rb genes and down-regulated p53, p21 proliferation-related mRNA expression in DSS-treated cells, in accompany with p53 signaling pathway inhibition. Meanwhile, metabolomics analysis revealed that L-theanine and DSS treated IPEC-J2 cells have different metabolomic profiles, with significant changes in the key metabolites involved in pyrimidine metabolism and amino acid metabolism, which play an important role in nucleotide metabolism. In summary, L-theanine has a beneficial protection in DSS-induced IPEC-J2 cells via promoting proliferation and regulating metabolism disorders.

Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) represents a collection of gastrointestinal disorders resulting from genetic and environmental factors. Microcystin-leucine arginine (MC-LR) is a toxin produced by cyanobacteria during algal blooms and demonstrates bioaccumulation in the intestinal tract following ingestion. Little is known about the impact of MC-LR ingestion in individuals with IBD. In this study, we sought to investigate MC-LR’s effects in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis model. Mice were separated into four groups: (a) water only (control), (b) DSS followed by water (DSS), (c) water followed by MC-LR (MC-LR), and (d) DSS followed by MC-LR (DSS + MC-LR). DSS resulted in weight loss, splenomegaly, and severe colitis marked by transmural acute inflammation, ulceration, shortened colon length, and bloody stools. DSS + MC-LR mice experienced prolonged weight loss and bloody stools, increased ulceration of colonic mucosa, and shorter colon length as compared with DSS mice. DSS + MC-LR also resulted in greater increases in pro-inflammatory transcripts within colonic tissue (TNF-α, IL-1β, CD40, MCP-1) and the pro-fibrotic marker, PAI-1, as compared to DSS-only ingestion. These findings demonstrate that MC-LR exposure not only prolongs, but also worsens the severity of pre-existing colitis, strengthening evidence of MC-LR as an under-recognized environmental toxin in vulnerable populations, such as those with IBD.

Bifico is a probiotic mixture containing Bifidobacterium, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Enterococcus. Studies support that Bifico has a protective effect in experimental colitis (IL-10-deficient and TNBS) models and in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, the mechanism underlying the protective effects of this mixture of probiotic bacteria remains incompletely clear. Here, we investigated the effect of Bifico on intestinal inflammation. In an in vivo experiment, dextran sulfate sodium was used to induce colitis. Bifico treatment significantly attenuated the severity of colitis in this model. Bifico increased the expression of tight junction proteins (TJs). In addition, Bifico increased the number of Tregs, but reduced the number of total CD4+ T cells in the peripheral blood. Furthermore, the expression of colonic CD4 protein was decreased while the level of forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) was upregulated. These results suggested that Bifico exerts beneficial effects on experimental colitis by increasing the expressions of TJs, upregulating the number of Tregs, and reducing the total CD4+ T cell number in both colon and peripheral blood. The intestinal damage in the pretreated + treated-Bifico-colitis group was more severe than that in only the pretreated-Bifico-colitis group. This suggested that Bifico might aggravate intestinal damage when the mucosal barrier is impaired.

The enhanced release of reactive oxygen species from activated neutrophils plays important role in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. We previously reported that radon inhalation activates antioxidative functions in various organs of mice. In this study, we examined the protective effects of radon inhalation on dextran sulfate sodium- (DSS) induced colitis in mice which were subjected to DSS for 7 days. Mice were continuously treated with air only (sham) or radon at a concentration of 2000 Bq/m3from a day before DSS administration to the end of colitis induction. In the results, radon inhalation suppressed the elevation of the disease activity index score and histological damage score induced by DSS. Based on the changes in tumor necrosis factor-alpha in plasma and myeloperoxidase activity in the colon, it was shown that radon inhalation suppressed DSS-induced colonic inflammation. Moreover, radon inhalation suppressed lipid peroxidation of the colon induced by DSS. The antioxidant level (superoxide dismutase and total glutathione) in the colon after DSS administration was significantly higher in mice treated with radon than with the sham. These results suggested that radon inhalation suppressed DSS-induced colitis through the enhancement of antioxidative functions in the colon.

Objective: The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of aqueous extract of unpolished dark purple glutinous Thai rice variety Luem Pua(LP) in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis (UC) in rat and the possible cholinomimetic effects of the extract.Methods: The effect of LP extract (0.5, 1, or 1.5 mg/ml final concentration) on ileum contraction was tested using isolated guinea pig ileum. Certainagonists (acetylcholine, tetramethylammonium, and clonidine) and antagonists (hexamethonium chloride and atropine) were studied to determinethe cholinomimetic effect of the extract. The effects of LP extract (5 g/kg/day) in DSS-induced UC model (drinking water was replaced with 3%DSS in water for 7 days) in rat were evaluated. On each day of treatment, the change of disease activity index (DAI) was recorded. At the end of theexperiments, rats were terminated and disease severity expressed as DAI, colon length, and spleen weight were determined.Results: LP extract at the concentration of 0.5, 1, and 1.5 mg/ml (final concentration) could contract the ileum in a dose-dependent manner and beblocked completely by atropine. Oral administration of LP extract could significantly attenuate the severity of DSS-induced UC as seen by the reductionof DAI, colon length, and spleen weight.Conclusion: Results in isolated guinea pig ileum suggest that LP might contain active substance that could activate muscarinic receptors. In additionto antioxidant activity, through activation of muscarinic receptor, might explain the protective effects of LP extract against DSS-induced UC in rats.
