The interplay of the inhibitory effect of nifuroxazide on NF-κB/STAT3 signaling attenuates acetic acid-induced ulcerative colitis in rats.

Abstract:

:Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a disease of increased worldwide prevalence. UC progression is associated with serious complications that leave the patient with considerable health burdens. Nifuroxazide is an oral nitrofuran antibiotic used as antidiarrheal medication. The current study places an emphasis on investigating the potential therapeutic effectiveness of nifuroxazide (10 mg/kg) and (20 mg/kg) against acetic acid (AA)-induced UC. Intra-rectal AA induced a significant colonic injury and impairment of colonic biochemical and functional incidences. Nifuroxazide in a dose-dependent manner significantly corrected UC associated injury. Macroscopic scoring of UC, serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity, C-reactive protein (CRP) titer, colon malondialdehyde (MDA) and total nitric oxide (NOx) contents significantly declined. Meanwhile, serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and colon catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione transferase (GST) activities and reduced glutathione (GSH) concentration significantly increased in a dose-dependent way. Ultimately, histopathological, immunohistochemical and ultramicroscopic analysis of colon specimen revealed significant improvement. To pinpoint the mechanistic pathway underlying the curative effect of nifuroxazide, colon expression of NF-κB, caspase-3 was evaluated along with STAT-3 activation. Nifuroxazide induced a dose-dependent significant suppression of NF-κB and caspase-3 signaling together with STAT3 signaling. In conclusion; nifuroxazide can be proposed as a therapeutic candidate to attenuate UC and its associated symptoms. The potential underlying mechanism involves suppression of NF-κB/STAT-3/caspase- signaling.
