- W3197103660 abstract "Betulinic acid (BA), a pentacyclic triterpenoid, has been associated with several biological effects, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiviral activities. Previous studies have demonstrated that BA has the ability to alleviate intestinal mucosal damage, however, the potential mechanism associated with the effect has not been reported. This study aimed to investigate the possible protective mechanism of BA against cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced intestinal mucosal damage. Here, we found that BA pretreatment prevented intestinal mucosal barrier dysfuction from CYP-challenged mice by repairing the intestinal physical, chemical, and immune barriers. Moreover, BA treatment suppressed the CYP-induced oxidative stress by activating the nuclear factor erythroid 2 [NF-E2]-related factor (Nrf2) pathway blocked reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation. In addition, BA inhibited CYP-triggered intestinal inflammation through down-regulating the nuclear transcription factor kappa B (NF-κB)/mitogen-activating protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. Furthermore, BA pretreatment reduced intestinal apoptosis by blocking ROS-activated mitochondrial apoptotic pathway. Overall, the current study demonstrated the protective effect of BA against CYP-caused intestinal mucosal damage by regulating the Nrf2 and NF-κB/MAPK signalling pathways, which may provide new therapeutic targets to attenuate intestinal impairment and maintain intestinal health. BA provides protection against CYP-induced intestinal mucosal damage in mice, which may be attributed to its anti-inflammation and antioxidant activities as well as its ability to inhibit apoptosis. In addition, the effects of BA may be mediated by the inhibition of the NF-κB/MAPK signalling pathways and the activation of the Nrf2 signalling pathway. • BA alleviated CYP-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction. • BA inhibited intestinal inflammation by down-regulating NF-κB/MAPK pathway. • BA reduced intestinal oxidative stress by activating Nrf2 blocked ROS accumulation. • BA reduced intestinal apoptosis by inhibiting ROS-activated mitochondrial apoptotic pathway." @default.
