Kaempferol protects ethanol-induced gastric ulcers in mice via pro-inflammatory cytokines and NO.

Abstract:

:Gastric ulcers (GUs) are common pathologies that affect many people around the world. Excessive alcohol consumption is one of the main causes of GUs; however, there are still lack of effective drugs for the prevention or therapy of GUs. In this study, we evaluated the protective effects and possible mechanisms of kaempferol (KAE) against acute ethanol-induced lesions to the gastric mucosa in mice. Fasted mice were orally given vehicle (0.9% saline), omeprazole (20 mg/kg), or KAE (40, 80, or 160 mg/kg) for 1 h in different experimental sets prior to the establishment of the GU model by challenge with absolute ethanol (10 ml/kg). Animals were euthanized 1 h after ethanol intake, and their plasma and stomach tissues were subject to further examination. Macroscopic and microscopic lesions, and immunological and biochemical parameters were observed. The effects of inflammation were investigated using the following indicators: tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, myeloperoxidase (MPO), and nitric oxide (NO). Results showed that KAE significantly decreased the ulcer index, increased the preventive index, completely protected the mucosa from lesions, and preserved gastric mucosal glycoprotein. KAE decreased MPO activity and pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α, and IL-1β) levels, and improved NO levels. The gastroprotective activity of KAE might be attributed to the preservation of gastric mucous glycoproteins levels, thus by inhibiting neutrophil accumulation and MPO activity, adjusting the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and improving NO production.
