Proinflammatory Mediators

Hydrogen (H2), a new antioxidant, was reported to reduce•OH and ONOO−selectively and inhibit certain proinflammatory mediators to product, without disturbing metabolic redox reactions or ROS involved in cell signaling. We herein aim to explore its protective effects on acute renal injury in sodium taurocholate-induced acute pancreatitis and its possible mechanisms. Rats were injected with hydrogen-rich saline (HRS group) or normal saline (SO and SAP group) through tail intravenously (6 mL/kg) and compensated subcutaneously (20 mL/kg) after successful modeling. Results showed that hydrogen-rich saline attenuated the following: (1) serum Cr and BUN, (2) pancreatic and renal pathological injuries, (3) renal MDA, (4) renal MPO, (5) serum IL-1β, IL-6, and renal TNF-α, HMGB1, and (6) tyrosine nitration, IκB degradation, and NF-κB activation in renal tissues. In addition, it increased the level of IL-10 and SOD activity in renal tissues. These results proved that hydrogen-rich saline attenuates acute renal injury in sodium taurocholate-induced acute pancreatitis, presumably because of its detoxification activity against excessive ROS, and inhibits the activation of NF-κB by affecting IκB nitration and degradation. Our findings highlight the potential value of hydrogen-rich saline as a new therapeutic method on acute renal injury in severe acute pancreatitis clinically.

Anti Inflammatory

Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) often results in multiple-organ dysfunction syndrome with high mortality. There is no effective clinical therapy for SAP, yet daphnetin, a coumarin extracted from Dracaena marginata, has analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, and has been used clinically in several diseases. The objective of this study was to investigate the role and underlying mechanisms of daphnetin in a rat SAP model. Male Wistar rats were pretreated with daphnetin via intraperitoneal injection, 30[Formula: see text]min before retrograde infusion of 5% sodium taurocholate into the biliopancreatic duct. Twelve hours after sodium taurocholate administration, rats were sacrificed and tissues and blood were harvested. Then, histological, chemical, and molecular analyses were performed. Daphnetin treatment reduced the levels of serum alanine transaminase and creatinine (CR), increased superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity, and decreased neutrophil infiltration and cell apoptosis of the pancreatic tissues in rat SAP. Daphnetin treatment significantly decreased expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increased expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines in rat SAP. Molecular analyses revealed that daphnetin reduced TLR4 expression and inhibited NF-[Formula: see text]B signaling pathway activation. These findings demonstrate that daphnetin attenuates acute pancreatic injury by regulating the TLR4/NF-[Formula: see text]B signaling pathway and inflammation in rat SAP model. Daphnetin may be a potential therapeutic agent for SAP.

Anti Inflammatory

Panax notoginseng saponins are extracted from Chinese ginseng— Panax notoginseng Ledeb—and are known to have therapeutic anti-inflammatory effects. However, the precise mechanism behind their anti-inflammatory effects remains relatively unknown. To better understand how Panax notoginseng saponins exert their therapeutic benefit, we tested them in a rat model of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Rats received a tail vein injection of Panax notoginseng saponins and were administered 5% sodium taurocholate 2 h later. Pancreatic tissue was then harvested and levels of miR-181b, FSTL1, TREM1, TLR4, TRAF6, IRAK1, p-Akt, p-p38MAPK, NF-κBp65, and p-IκB-α were determined using Western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays were used to determine serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), TREM1, interleukin (IL)-6, ACAM-1, IL-8, and IL-12 and DNA-bound levels of NF-KB65 and TLR4 in pancreatic and ileum tissue. Serum levels of lipase and amylase, pancreatic myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and pancreatic water content were also measured. Hematoxylin and eosin staining was used for all histological analyses. Results indicated upregulation of miR-181b, but negligible levels of FSTL1, p-p38MAPK, TLR4, TRAF6, p-Akt, IRAK1, TREM1, p-NF-κBp65, and p-IκB-α, as well as negligible DNA-bound levels of NF-KB65 and TLR4. We also observed lower levels of IL-8, IL-6, ACAM-1, TNF-α, MPO, and IL-12 in the Panax notoginseng saponin–treated group when compared with controls. In addition, Panax notoginseng saponin–treated rats had significantly reduced serum levels of lipase and amylase. Histological analyses confirmed that Panax notoginseng saponin treatment significantly reduced taurocholate-induced pancreatic inflammation. Collectively, our results suggest that Panax notoginseng saponin treatment attenuated acute pancreatitis and pancreatic inflammation by increasing miR-181b signaling. These findings suggest that Panax notoginseng saponins have therapeutic potential in the treatment of taurocholate-induced SAP.
