Dai-Huang-Fu-Zi-Tang Alleviates Intestinal Injury Associated with Severe Acute Pancreatitis by Regulating Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore of Intestinal Mucosa Epithelial Cells

الملخص EN

Objective.

The aim of the present study was to examine whether Dai-Huang-Fu-Zi-Tang (DHFZT) could regulate mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) of intestinal mucosa epithelial cells for alleviating intestinal injury associated with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).

Methods.

A total of 72 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (sham group, SAP group, and DHFZT group, n=24 per group).

The rats in each group were divided into 4 subgroups (n=6 per subgroup) accordingly at 1, 3, 6, and 12 h after the operation.

The contents of serum amylase, D-lactic acid, diamine oxidase activity, and degree of MPTP were measured by dry chemical method and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

The change of mitochondria of intestinal epithelial cells was observed by transmission electron microscopy.

Results.

The present study showed that DHFZT inhibited the openness of MPTP at 3, 6, and 12 h after the operation.

Meanwhile, it reduced the contents of serum D-lactic acid and activity of diamine oxidase activity and also drastically relieved histopathological manifestations and epithelial cells injury of intestine.

Conclusion.

DHFZT alleviates intestinal injury associated SAP via reducing the openness of MPTP.

In addition, DHFZT could also decrease the content of serum diamine oxidase activity and D-lactic acid after SAP.
