Eriocalyxin B ameliorated Crohn's disease-like colitis by restricting M1 macrophage polarization through JAK2/STAT1 signalling.
M1 polarization of macrophages in the intestine is an important maintenance factor of the inflammatory response in Crohn's disease (CD). Eriocalyxin B (EriB) is a natural medicine that antagonizes inflammation. Our study aimed to determine the effects of EriB on CD-like colitis in mice, as well as the possible mechanism.. 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) mice and Il-10. EriB treatment reduced body weight loss, DAI score and histological score, demonstrating the improvement of colitis symptoms in mice. In vivo and in vitro experiments both showed that EriB decreased the M1 polarization of macrophages, and suppressed the release of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6) in mouse colons and BMDMs. The activation of Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (JAK2/STAT1) signals could be inhibited by EriB, which may be related to the regulation of EriB on M1 polarization.. EriB inhibits the M1 polarization of macrophages by attenuating the JAK2/STAT1 pathway, which partially explains the potential mechanism by which EriB ameliorates colitis in mice, and provides a new regimen for the clinical treatment of CD.
