Sinomenine hydrochloride improves DSS-induced colitis in mice through inhibition of the Notch signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To study the therapeutic effect of sinomenine hydrochloride (SH) on dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in mice as an animal model and the changes of Notch signaling pathway in colon tissue of mice after treatment.

Methods

Twenty-four mice were randomly divided into control group, model group, SH low-dose group (20 mg/kg) and SH high-dose group (60 mg/kg), with 6 mice in each group. Disease activity index (DAI), colonic mucosal injury index and colonic histopathological score were calculated. The expression levels of related genes, proteins in Notch signaling pathway and inflammatory factors were quantified.

Results

SH can significantly reduce the symptoms of colitis mice, and can significantly reduce the DAI score (Model: 3.44 ± 0.27; SH-20: 2.50 ±
