AIM: To evaluate the effects of butein on inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9), andcolitis in interleukin(IL)-10-/- mice.METHODS: To synchronize colitis, 8- to 10-wk-old IL-10-/- mice were fed pel...AIM: To evaluate the effects of butein on inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9), andcolitis in interleukin(IL)-10-/- mice.METHODS: To synchronize colitis, 8- to 10-wk-old IL-10-/- mice were fed pellet-chow containing piroxicam for 2 wk. Subsequently, phosphate-buffered saline or butein(1 mg/kg per day, ip) was injected for 4 wk. Histologic scores, inflammatory cytokines, MMP-9 and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(p STAT3) expressions were analyzed in IL-10-/- mice and in Colo 205 cells.RESULTS: Butein reduced the colonic inflammatory score by > 50%. Expression levels of IL-6, IL-1β, interferon(IFN)-γ and MMP-9 were decreased in the colons of mice exposed to butein, whereas other inflammatory cytokines(IL-17 A, IL-21 and IL-22) were unchanged. Immunohistochemical staining for p STAT3 and MMP-9 was significantly decreased in the buteintreated groups compared with the controls. Butein inhibited IL-6-induced activation of STAT3 in Colo 205 cells.CONCLUSION: Butein ameliorated colitis in IL-10-/-mice by regulating IL-6/STAT3 and MMP-9 activation.展开更多
