Gastric ulcer (GU), a prevalent digestive disease, has a high incidence and is seriously harmful to human health. Finding a natural drug with a gastroprotective effect is needed. Ocotillol, the derivate of ocotillol-type saponins in the Panax genus, possesses good anti-inflammatory activity. The study aimed to investigate the gastroprotective effect of ocotillol on acetic acid-induced GU rats. The serum levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide (NO), the gastric mucosa levels of epidermal growth factor, superoxide dismutase and NO were assessed. Hematoxylin and eosin staining of gastric mucosa for pathological changes and immunohistochemical staining of ET-1, epidermal growth factor receptors and inducible nitric oxide synthase were evaluated. A UPLC-QTOF-MS-based serum metabolomics approach was applied to explore the latent mechanism. A total of 21 potential metabolites involved in 7 metabolic pathways were identified. The study helps us to understand the pathogenesis of GU and to provide a potential natural anti-ulcer agent.

Recombinant human epidermal growth factor (rhEGF) has been studied and expressed in various expression systems. It has been also commercialized and clinically used, yet limited to topical diseases. However, being naturally expressed in different tissues, the rhEGF is potential to be applied not only for external wound and skin disorders, but also to regenerates internal damaged epidermal cells such found in gastric ulcer. In the recent study, chitosan microparticles were developed to facilitate delivery of the rhEGF and to overcome gastric degradation that majorly interfere protein, particularly rhEGF oral administration. The rhEGF was expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3) and purified using Ni-NTA chromatography. The refolded rhEGF showed proliferation activity on MC7 cells. rhEGF loaded chitosan microparticles were stable in the gastric and specifically released the loaded rhEGF in the high oxidative environment in acidic pH representing gastric ulcer condition.
