Protective Effects of Aminooxyacetic Acid on Colitis Induced in Mice with Dextran Sulfate Sodium.

ABSTRACT: As a known inhibitor of pyridoxal phosphate-dependent transaminase glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 1 (GOT1), aminooxyacetic acid (AOAA) has been pointed out to have potential pharmacological effects in antiepileptic, anticonvulsant, antibacterial, cancer cell proliferation inhibition, and acute myocardial infarction (MI) relief. However, its role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has not been reported. Through the in vivo experiment of dextran sulfate sodium- (DSS-) induced colitis in mice, it was found that AOAA significantly attenuated the symptoms, signs, and pathological changes of colitis. In addition, AOAA treatment prevented gut barrier damages by enhancing the expression of zona occludens- (ZO-) 1, occludin, claudin-1, and E-cadherin and recovering the upregulation of the most
