Bisdemethoxycurcumin Alleviates Dextran Sodium Sulfate-Induced Colitis via Inhibiting NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation and Modulating the Gut Microbiota in Mice.

ABSTRACT: Our previous study showed that bisdemethoxycurcumin (BUR) exerts anti-inflammatory properties in lipopolysaccharide-induced intestinal injury, and studies have revealed that NOD-like receptor superfamily, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of colitis. However, it is not clear whether BUR could attenuate colitis-mediated intestinal inflammation via NLRP3 inflammasome inactivation and modulate the gut microbiota dysbiosis. The results demonstrated that BUR attenuated DSS-induced body weight decrease, histopathological changes, and epithelial apoptosis. BUR significantly improved the intestinal barrier defects and abrogated DSS-induced inflammatory response. Consistently, BUR reduced the expression of NLRP3 family members, confirmi
