Dehydroevodiamine Alleviates Ulcerative Colitis by Inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/NF-κB Signaling Pathway via Targeting AKT1 and Regulating Gut Microbes and Serum Metabolism.

ABSTRACT: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a typical inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), impairing the quality of life of patients. Dehydroevodiamine (DHE) is an active alkaloid isolated from Tetradium ruticarpum that exerts significant anti-inflammatory effects in gastrointestinal diseases. However, the effect and mechanisms of DHE on UC remain unclear. We performed a DSS-induced experimental UC rat model to reveal the efficacy and potential mechanisms of DHE on UC. HE and AB-PAS staining were used for the evaluation of pathologies, and 16S rRNA sequencing was used to detect changes in gut microbes. Metabolomics was used to detect changes in serum metabolites. Network pharmacology and transcriptomics were conducted to reveal the underlying mechanisms of DHE for UC. HuProt proteome microarrays, molec
