Purpose:From the perspective of inflammation,lipopolysaccharides(LPS)was used to induce human colonic epithelial cells(HCoEpiC)to create UC cellular inflammation model.The pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokine are tested to observe the anti-inflammatory ability of Qingdai.And by detecting the regulation of Qingdai on key molecules in the PI3K/Akt and NF-κB signaling pathway,it is clear that Qingdai can exert its anti-inflammatory effect.Material and method:Selection of the HCoEpiC culture conditions for cellular inflammation model:The frozen HCoEpiC cells were resuscitated,cultured,passaged and frozen,and kept for subsequent experiments.The HCoEpiC cells in the logarithmic growth phase were divided into 4 groups,namely the control group,5μg/mL group,10μg/mL group,and 15μg/mL group.In addition to the control group,the other three groups were added with 10μL of LPS DEME culture medium at concentrations of 5μg/mL,10μg/mL,and 15μg/mL.Use the Enzyme-linked immunoadsordent detects the content of IL-6,calculates the linear regression equation of the standard curve according to the concentration of the standard substance and the corresponding OD value,and then calculates the corresponding IL-6 concentration on the regression equation according to the OD value of the sample to determine the optimal concentration of LPS to induce inflammatory response.Then,HCoEpiC cells in logarithmic growth phase were inoculated into 96-well plates at 1.0×10~8,100μL/well,and cultured for 12h,24h,and48h respectively,and then the cell viability was detected by MTT method to determine the best culture time for cell viability.Preparation of drug-containing serum of rats:SPF-grade healthy male SD rats were divided into 5 groups according to their body weight using the random number table method:control group,SASP group,high-dose Qingdai group,medium-dose Qingdai group,and low-dose Qingdai group,each group has 6 rats.According to the human and rat dosage conversion formula,the rats in each group were given intragastrically,and the intragastric concentrations were 0.024g/mL,0.054g/mL,0.018g/mL,0.009g/mL,and the intragastric dose was 3mL/d.In the control group,the same volume of distilled water was given by gavage.After continuous gavage for 5 days,5%chloral hydrate0.7mL/100g was injected intraperitoneally for anesthesia,and blood was taken from the abdominal aorta.After the blood was taken,the serum was separated to form rat drug-containing serum,which was placed in a refrigerator at-80°C for later use.The detection of pro-inflammatory cytokines and anti-inflammatory cytokines:HCoEpiC cells in logarithmic growth phase were inoculated into 96-well plates at 1.0×10~8,100μL/well,and divided into 6 groups:control group,model group,SASP group,Qingdai high group,Qingdai middle group,Qingdai low group.The control group was added with 10%calf serum+DEME culture medium,the model group was added with10μg/mL LPS on the basis of the control group,and the SASP group was added with rat serum containing SASP on the basis of the model group.Qingdai high,medium and low group was added with rat serum containing high,medium and low doses of Qingdai on the basis of the model group.After 24 hours of culture,the ELISA method was used to detect the changes of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6,TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-12 and the anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4 and IL-10 in the serum.The effects of Qingdai on inflammatory cytokines were tested in two aspects:pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory.The influence of Qingdai on PI3K/Akt signaling pathway:The establishment and grouping of HCoEpiC cellular inflammation model are the same as above,the relative expression of PI3K and AktmRNA in HCoEpiC cells was detected by QPCR method,and PI3K,Akt,p-Akt protein was detected by Western Blot.The influence of Qingdai on the NF-κB signaling pathway:The establishment and grouping of HCoEpiC cellular inflammation model are the same as

the inhibition of key signaling molecules of PI3K and Akt.By inhibiting the expression of PI3K and Akt,the downstream inflammatory cytokines can be inhibited.4.In the process of regulating inflammatory cytokines,Qingdai is related to the inhibition of the related activities of IKK,IκB and NF-κB in NF-κB,a key pathway of inflammation regulation. |
