PG - 2986097 LID - 10.1155/2019/2986097 [doi] LID - 2986097 AB - The aims of this study were to build an IBD mouse model and further to observe the effects of deoxyschisandrin on IBD and visceral sensitivity and to evaluate the relevance of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) to intestinal hypersensitivity of IBD mice. The results showed that deoxyschisandrin could depress the contraction of isolated smooth muscle, modulate gastrointestinal function, and efficiently decrease the disease activity index (DAI) of IBD mice, which proved that deoxyschisandrin had antidiarrheal effects on the animals. In the colorectal distention (CRD) experiment, visceral sensibility was increased in the model group. However, abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) scores were decreased after deoxyschisandrin intervention, indicating that deoxyschisandrin could reduce the visceral hypersensitivity of IBD mice. Both IHC observation and western blotting analysis showed that BDNF protein expression increased evidently in colon of IBD mice. After the intervention of deoxyschisandrin, colon mucosa BDNF protein expression in IBD mice decreased, indicating that deoxyschisandrin could decrease mouse intestinal sensitivity by reducing colon mucosa BDNF expression. In conclusion, deoxyschisandrin possessed antidiarrheal effects and visceral hypersensitivity inhibitory effects in the mice with IBD induced by TNBS, which was related to the reduction in BDNF expression in the colon.
