Application of apigenin in preparation of medicines for treating inflammation
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medical application, and particularly relates to application of apigenin in preparation of a medicament for treating inflammation.
Background
Ulcerative colitis is a complex, idiopathic, inflammatory gastrointestinal disease of the colon, the main target organ of which is colorectal, and typical manifestations of the clinic include bloody diarrhea with or without mucus, rectal urgency, tenesmus, and varying degrees of abdominal pain, as well as possibly involvement of the upper digestive tract, with complications in esophageal, gastric, and duodenal mucosal lesions. UC is considered a global disease and is of bimodal age distribution, with high incidence in children aged 2-3 years, followed by 50-80 middle aged and elderly people. The prevalence and incidence of UC has increased since the middle of the twentieth century, and the incidence has increased more rapidly in specific populations (children). The ulcerative colitis has low mortality rate, is easy to relapse and is difficult to cure, and the clinical medicines for treating the ulcerative colitis at the present stage mainly comprise aminosalicylate, corticosteroid, immunomodulator, oral micromolecule and biological agents, have certain defects and shortages or bring burden to the economy of patients. The pathogenesis of UC is multifactorial, such as genetic abnormalities, altered dietary patterns, intestinal barrier dysfunction, dysregulation of microbiota, and abnormal host immune response, among others. Currently, the clinical treatment of UC is mainly directed to immune responses and pro-inflammatory factors, alleviating symptoms. Exploring effective interventions for other factors may help develop new therapeutic approaches. Therefore, searching for a target for UC treatment and performing more effective and safer treatment on patients are extremely important.

(2) Treatment of mice of each group, once daily, was performed by administering 5% DSS aqueous solution induction and gastric lavage intervention treatment daily starting from modeling:
a) Negative control group: each mouse was perfused with 0.2mL of saline, and the mice were weighed and scored for disease activity index prior to intragastric administration.
b) Ulcerative colitis model group: each mouse was perfused with 0.2mL of saline, and the mice were weighed and scored for disease activity index prior to intragastric administration.
c) Apigenin group: each mouse was perfused with 0.2mL of physiological saline containing 10mg/kg, 20mg/kg or 40mg/kg apigenin, and the mice were weighed and scored for disease activity index prior to lavage.
d) Sulfasalazine group (positive drug group): each mouse was gavaged with 0.2mL of 100mg/kg sulfasalazine solution, and the mice were weighed and scored for disease activity index prior to gavage.
3. Observation index
Macro scoring: after modeling day 6, diarrhea and hematochezia were observed for each group of mice and scores were recorded separately. The raters used a single blind method for the observation and evaluation of mice.
Colon tissue of mice is obtained: after killing the mice by cervical dislocation, fixing the mice on an anatomical plate, spraying 75% alcohol on the abdomen of the mice, cutting off the abdominal cavity of the exposed mice along the midline of the abdomen of the mice, finding out the colon of the mice, performing blunt separation, retaining the cecum, and completely cutting off the colorectal part of the mice to obtain colon tissue materials of the mice.
Measuring colon length: after the colon of the mouse was taken out, the length of the colon of the mouse was measured using a vernier caliper.
Detection of the activity of the MPO in the colon of the mice: colon was collected with dead mice on day 6 into 1.5ml EP tubes, weighed, and appropriate amounts of HTAB buffer were added based on tissue weight. Pre-chilled homogenised steel balls were added to the EP tube, homogenized at 70Hz for 10 minutes using a tissue homogenizer, 4 ℃,13400xg, centrifuged for 6 minutes and the supernatant collected. Freezing and preserving at-80 ℃ for standby. The activity of MPO in colon tissue of mice was examined according to a specific procedure.
Colon tissue staining of mice: a section of the colon at the distal end of the mouse colon was taken, treated to form a coil, fixed, and then immersed in 4% paraformaldehyde at 4℃for 24 hours. Washing with running water for 12h, dehydrating by a dehydrator, immersing paraffin into paraffin tissue blocks, and slicing the section of the sausage with the thickness of 5 μm for subsequent tissue staining.

Related pharmacological activity experiments of API on UC mice:
1. disease Activity index determination
From the beginning of the first day of modeling to the end of modeling (sixth day), the mice were scored for 3 aspects of stool morphology, hematochezia, and weight loss by the method described in the literature references (Cho E J, shin J S, noh Y S, et al, anti-inflammatory effects of methanol extract of in mice with ulcerative colitis [ J ]. Journal of Ethnopharmacology,2011,136 (3): 428-35.), the scoring criteria being shown in Table 1, and the results being shown in FIG. 1. The disease activity index on the sixth day of modeling was counted and the results are shown in fig. 2.
Table 1: DAI scoring criteria
Results are expressed as mean ± SEM of 6 mice per group. * P is p<0.05,**p<0.01vs UC model group; ### p<0.001vs NOR。
effect of API on hematochezia and diarrhea in UC mice
Diarrhea, hematochezia are typical clinical symptoms of UC. The effect of the API on improving inflammatory symptoms of ulcerative colitis in UC mice was examined by observing and evaluating changes in diarrhea and hematochezia in UC mice before and after API intervention treatment, and the results are shown in fig. 3 (a), (b) and (c).
The diarrhea and hematochezia conditions of each group of mice were observed and recorded on the sixth day of the modeling, and scored according to a macro scoring table (table 2), and the results are shown in table 3, wherein the macro scoring (a) of the mice in the negative control group, the UC model group, the sulfasalazine (positive drug) group, the 10mg/kg API group, the 20mg/kg API group, and the 40mg/kg API group is 0.000± 0.000,5.333 ± 0.667,1.333 ± 0.333,2.667 ± 0.333,1.333 ± 0.494,1.333 ±0.422, respectively. Diarrhea and hematochezia conditions were significantly elevated (P < 0.001) in the UC model group compared to the negative control group, showing significant ulcerative colitis symptoms. The diarrhea and hematochezia conditions were significantly improved for both the API dosed and sulfasalazine groups at each concentration compared to the UC model group, with statistical differences (P < 0.001). Macroscopic scoring results indicate that the API has the effect of alleviating the symptoms of ulcerative colitis. The results are shown in Table 3:
table 2: macroscopic scoring criteria
Table 3: macroscopic scoring results
Results are expressed as mean ± SEM of 6 mice per group. * P<0.001vs UC model group; ### p<0.001vs NOR。
effect of API on the colon Length of UC mice
The disease severity of each group of mice was observed by measuring the colon length of the mice, and the results are shown in fig. 4, and compared with the negative control group (8.53+ -0.340 cm), the MPO activity (5.90+ -0.260 cm) in the colon tissue of the mice in the UC model group was significantly shortened, and the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001), indicating that the construction of the UC mouse model was successful. MPO activities of the 10mg/kg API group, the 20mg/kg API group and the 40mg/kg API group are 6.782 +/-0.081 cm, 6.765+/-0.124 cm and 6.704 +/-0.160 cm respectively, which are obviously lower than that of the UC model group (P < 0.05), and the MPO intervention treatment can obviously relieve colon shortening of UC mice.
Effect of API on MPO Activity in the colon of UC mice
The MPO activity in the colon of each group of mice is detected by a specific detection method, and the result is shown in figure 5, compared with a negative control group (0.377+/-0.069U/mg), the MPO activity (1.644 +/-0.216U/mg) in the colon tissue of the mice in the UC model group is obviously increased, and the difference has statistical significance (P < 0.001), so that the construction of the UC mouse model is successful. MPO activities of the 10mg/kg API group, the 20mg/kg API group and the 40mg/kg API group are 0.691+/-0.135U/mg, 0.687+/-0.080U/mg and 0.540+/-0.131U/mg respectively, which are obviously lower than those of the UC model group (P < 0.001), and the inhibition effect of the API on MPO is gradually enhanced with the increase of the dosage of the drug.
Effect of API on pathological changes in the colon tissue of UC mice
After observing API intervention treatment through HE staining, the pathological changes of colon tissues of UC mice are observed. In FIG. 6, (a) - (f) are in order a negative control group, a UC model group, a sulfasalazine (positive drug) group, a 10mg/kg API group, a 20mg/kg API group, a 40mg/kg API group. The colon structure of apigenin group is more complete, the tissue injury is slight, the mucosal epithelium structure is more complete, and the crypt structure is basically complete and regular. The results indicate that the API dose-dependently inhibits colon pathological changes of mice with UC model.
Effect of API on mast cell activation in the colon of UC mice
Mast cells, upon activation, modulate inflammatory responses by releasing specific cytokines and enzymes. The status of mast cell activation in the colon of UC mice was studied by detecting the level of CPA3 (mast cell release) and ADM (a precursor substance that generates the MRGPRX2 ligand PAMP-12 after hydrolysis of CPA 3) in the colon of mice. At the same time, the infiltration condition of mast cells in the colon of the mouse is observed by immunofluorescence staining
The results are shown in FIG. 7, wherein the analysis results in the graph (a) show that the CPA3 content in colon tissues of the mice in each concentration API administration group is significantly lower than that in the UC model group (P <0.01, P < 0.001); the analysis result in the graph (b) shows that the ADM content in colon tissues of the mice in the concentration API administration groups is significantly lower than that in the UC model group (P <0.05, P < 0.01); the above results indicate that the API can inhibit the expression levels of CPA3 and ADM, and act as an inhibitor of mast cell activation. In the figure, (c) shows the immunofluorescence staining results of the negative control group, the UC model group, the sulfasalazine (positive drug) group, the 10mg/kg API group, the 20mg/kg API group and the 40mg/kg API group in sequence. It was found that an increased number of mast cells and degranulation were observed in the colon tissue of UC mice, whereas API significantly antagonizes activated mast cells in UC.
Thus, diarrhea, hematochezia and symptoms of the mice are obviously reduced after apigenin intervention, and macroscopic scores are statistically different from model groups. DSS-induced diarrhea in UC, hematochezia, increased MPO activity, and shortened colon. API treated mice exhibited reduced diarrhea and hematochezia, reduced MPO activity and improved colon shortening. Reduced levels of CPA3 and ADM in the colon tissue of the mice and improved mast cell infiltration and degranulation. This study showed that the levels of CPA3 and ADM were reduced and that CPA3 hydrolyzed the ligand PAMP-12 produced by ADM to activate mast cells; the API is likely to reduce DSS-induced symptoms of UC inflammation. Therefore, the receptor MRGPRX2 of PAMP-12 on the mast cells can be used as a target point for treating ulcerative colitis, and apigenin can be used for preparing medicines for treating ulcerative colitis.
