OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Gegenqinlian colon positioning tablet (GGQLJC) on colon tissue PPAR-γ, NF-κB p65 protein expressions of model rabbits with damp-heat type ulcerative colitis (UC). METHODS: 56 rabbits were randomly divided into normal group (normal saline), model group (normal saline), sulfasalazine tablet (SASP) group (positive control, 0.300 g/kg), Gegenqinlian tablet (GGQL) group (0.225 g/kg) and GGQLJC high-dose, medium-dose, low-dose groups (1.036, 0.518, 0.259 g/kg), 8 in each group. Except for normal group, rabbits in other groups were cultured for damp-heat-type UC model, intragastrically administrated in the second day of last administration, once a day, for 14 d. Disease activity index (DAI), colonic mucosal damage index (CMDI), histological damage (TDI) were scored; colon, spleen and thymus indexes were determined; PPAR-γ, NF-κB p65 protein expressions in colon tissue were detected. RESULTS: Compared with normal group, DAI, CMDI, TDI scores and spleen index, colon index, NF-κB p65 protein level in colon tissue in model group were significantly increased (P<0.01); thymus index, PPAR-γ protein level in colon tissue were significantly reduced (P<0.01). Compared with model group, above-mentioned indexes in each administration group were significantly improved (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with GGQL group, DAI and TDI scores, spleen index, colon index, NF-κB p65 protein level in colon tissue in SASP group, GGQLJC high-dose, medium-dose groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05); PPAR-γ protein level in colon tissue in SASP group, GGQLJC high-dose, medium-dose groups were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: GGQLJC has certain improvement effects on model rabbits with damp-heat type UC, which is superior to GGQL. The mechanism may be related to increasing PPAR-γ protein level and decreasing NF-κB p65 protein level in colon tissue.
