[Abstract]
Objective To explore the feasibility of establishing a mouse model with ulcerative colitis (UC) of dampheat accumulation in the intestines syndrome type by comparing the disease model of UC induced by Dextran Sulfate Sodium (DSS),the damp-heat accumulation in the intestines syndrome type of UC mouse model induced by a high-fat diet, and their combined model. Methods A damp-heat accumulation in the intestines syndrome model was established by feeding mice a high-fat diet,and a UC model was induced by DSS. A combined model of damp-heat accumulation in the intestines type of UC was established by combining a high-fat diet with DSS. The syndrome manifestations and serum biochemical indicators of each group were compared,and damp-heat symptom scores were assessed. Body mass,colon length,disease activity index (DAI) scores,and spleen mass were compared to evaluate the severity of UC. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining of the colon was performed to assess pathological changes. The proportion of M1/M2 macrophages in the colon was detected by flow cytometry, and the expression of inflammatory factors (TNF-α,IL-1β) in the colon was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to evaluate the degree of inflammation. Results (1) During the establishment of the damp-heat accumulation in the intestines syndrome model, compared with the normal group, the body mass of the damp-heat accumulation in the intestines group significantly increased (P<0.01),with manifestations such as greasy and dirty fur,hunched posture,anal burning,loose stools,and reduced urine output. After DSS induction,compared with the normal group,the body mass and colon length of the UC group and the damp-heat accumulation in the intestines of UC group significantly decreased (P<0.01, P<0.001), and damp-heat accumulation in the intestines syndrome manifestations were evident, indicating the successful establishment of the damp-heat accumulation in the intestine type of UC model. (2)Compared with the normal group,the UC group showed a significant decrease in body mass (P<0.01),shortened colon length,increased spleen index (P<0.01),and significantly elevated DAI scores (P<0.001). Compared with the UC group,the damp-heat accumulation in the intestines type of UC group exhibited a further decrease in body mass (P<0.01), shortened colon length, increased spleen index (P<0.05), and significantly higher colon histopathological scores and DAI scores (P<0.05,P<0.01). (3) Compared with the normal group,the UC group showed a significant increase in the M1/M2 macrophage ratio in colon tissues (P<0.05) and elevated expression of inflammatory factors (P<0.05,P<0.01). Compared with the UC group,the damp-heat accumulation in the intestine tpye of UC group exhibited a further increase in the proportion of M1 macrophages and inflammatory factor expression (P<0.05). Conclusion The high-fat diet combined with DSS-induced damp-heat accumulation in the intestine type of UC mouse model exhibits both traditional Chinese medicine manifestations of damp-heat accumulation in the intestines and clinical features of UC,making it an effective disease-syndrome combined animal model. This model provides a reference for future research on the pathological and pharmacological mechanisms of damp-heat accumulation in the intestine type of UC and the evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine efficacy.
