Single nuclei sequencing to understand mechanism of action of the melanocortin 1 receptor agonist Pl8177 in Dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in rats


ABSTRACT: PL8177 is a potent and selective agonist of the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R). PL8177 has shown efficacy in reversing intestinal inflammation in a cannulated rat ulcerative colitis model. To facilitate oral delivery, a novel, polymer-encapsulated formulation of PL8177 was developed and tested in dextran sulfate sodium induced rat ulcerative colitis model. Rats treated with 50 µg oral PL8177 demonstrated significantly lower macroscopic colon damage scores and improvement in colon weight, stool consistency, and fecal occult blood vs the vehicle without active drug. We used single nuclei RNA sequencing of colon tissues to characterize the mechanism of action and identify relative cell population and key gene expression changes between treated, healthy and vehicle.
