Sodium formate induces development-dependent intestinal epithelial injury via necroptosis and apoptosis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a common and sometimes fatal disease affecting premature infants. Elevated formate has been found in the stool of patients with NEC. Sodium formate (NaF) is used to explore the role of formate in the intestinal epithelial injury.

Methods

In this study, 150 mM NaF solution was intraluminally injected in 14-day-old and 28-day-old mice. Mice were sacrificed after 24 h of feces collection, and the blood and small intestinal tissues were collected to detect the pathological damage of intestinal tissue, intestinal permeability, oxidative stress indicators including SOD, HO-1, MDA, and 4-HNE, inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6, mitochondrial function such as ATP and PGC-1α in mice intestinal tissue, indicators of the
