| 1 | Promising biological therapies for ulcerative colitis: A review of the literature显示文摘Ulcerative colitis(UC) is a chronic lifelong condition characterized by alternating flare-ups and remission. There is no single known unifying cause, and the pathogenesis is multifactorial, with genetics, environmental factors, microbiota, and the immune system all playing roles. Current treatment modalities for UC include 5-aminosalicylates, corticosteroids, immunosuppressants(including purine antimetabolites, cyclosporine, and tacrolimus), and surgery. Therapeutic goals for UC are evolving. Medical treatment aims to induce remission and prevent relapse of disease activity. Infliximab, an anti-tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α monoclonal antibody, is the first biological agent for the treatment of UC. Over the last decade, infliximab and adalimumab(anti-TNF-α agents) have been used for moderate to severe UC, and have been shown to be effective in inducing and maintaining remission. Recent studies have indicated that golimumab(another anti-TNF-α agent), tofacitinib(a Janus kinase inhibitor), and vedolizumab and etrolizumab(integrin antagonists), achieved good clinical remission and response rates in UC. Recently, golimumab and vedolizumab have been approved for UC by the United States Food and Drug Administration. Vedolizumab may be used as a first-line alternative to anti-TNF-α therapy in patients with an inadequate response to corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressants. Here, we provide updated information on various biological agents in the treatment of UC. | Hirotada Akiho Azusa Yokoyama Shuichi Abe Yuichi Nakazono Masatoshi Murakami Yoshihiro Otsuka Kyoko Fukawa Mitsuru Esaki Yusuke Niina Haruei Ogino | 2015 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pathophysiology2015,6,4: | 8 |
| 2 | Plecanatide and dolcanatide, novel guanylate cyclase-C agonists, ameliorate gastrointestinal inflammation in experimental models of murine colitis显示文摘AIM: To evaluate the effect of orally administeredplecanatide or dolcanatide, analogs of uroguanylin, on amelioration of colitis in murine models.METHODS: The cyclic guanosine monophosphate(cG MP) stimulatory potency of plecanatide and dolcanatide was measured using a human colon carcinoma T84 cellbased assay. For animal studies all test agents were formulated in phosphate buffered saline. Sulfasalazine or 5-amino salicylic acid(5-ASA) served as positive controls. Effect of oral treatment with test agents on amelioration of acute colitis induced either by dextran sulfate sodium(DSS) in drinking water or by rectal instillation of trinitrobenzene sulfonic(TNBS) acid, was examined in BALB/c and/or BDF1 mice. Additionally, the effect of orally administered plecanatide on the spontaneous colitis in T-cell receptor alpha knockout(TCRα-/-) mice was also examined. Amelioration of colitis was assessed by monitoring severity of colitis, disease activity index and by histopathology. Frozen colon tissues were used to measure myeloperoxidase activity.RESULTS: Plecanatide and dolcanatide are structurally related analogs of uroguanylin, which is an endogenous ligand of guanylate cyclase-C(GC-C). As expected from the agonists of GC-C, both plecanatide and dolcanatide exhibited potent cG MP-stimulatory activity in T84 cells. Once-daily treatment by oral gavage with either of these analogs(0.05-0.5 mg/kg) ameliorated colitis in both DSS and TNBS-induced models of acute colitis, as assessed by body weight, reduction in colitis severity(P < 0.05) and disease activity index(P < 0.05). Amelioration of colitis by either of the drug candidates was comparable to that achieved by orally administered sulfasalazine or 5-ASA. Plecanatide also effectively ameliorated colitis in TCRα-/- mice, a model of spontaneous colitis. As dolcanatide exhibited higher resistance to proteolysis in simulated gastric and intestinal juices, it was selected for further studies. CONCLUSION: This is the first-ever study reporting the therapeutic utility of GC-C agonists as a new class of orally delivered and mucosally active drug candidates for the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases. | Kunwar Shailubhai Vaseem Palejwala Krishna Priya Arjunan Sayali Saykhedkar Bradley Nefsky John A Foss Stephen Comiskey Gary S Jacob Scott E Plevy | 2015 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pharmacology and Therapeutics2015,6,4: | 5 |
| 3 | Mucosal healing effect of nilotinib in indomethacin-induced enterocolitis:A rat model显示文摘AIM: To investigate the effects of nilotinib in a rat model of indomethacin-induced enterocolitis.METHODS: Twenty-one Wistar albino female rats obtained from Dokuz Eylul University Department of Laboratory Animal Science were divided into the following three groups: control(n = 7), indomethacin(n = 7) and nilotinib(n = 7). A volume of 0.25 m L of physiological serum placebo was administered to the control and indomethacin groups through an orogastric tube for 13 d. To induce enterocolitis, the indomethacin and nilotinib groups received 7.5 m L/kg indomethacin dissolved in 5% sodium bicarbonate and administered subcutaneously in a volume of 0.5 m L twice daily for three days. Nilotinib was administered 20 mg/kg/d in two divided doses to the nilotinib group of rats for 13 d through an orogastric tube, beginning on the same day as indomethacin administration. For 13 d, the rats werefed a standard diet, and their weights were monitored daily. After the rats were sacrificed, the intestinal and colonic tissue samples were examined. The macroscopic and microscopic pathology scores were evaluated. The pathologist stained all tissue samples using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated d UTP-biotin nick-end labeling method. Mucosal crypts and apoptotic cells were quantified. The plateletderived growth factor receptor(PDGFR) α and β scores assessed by immunohistochemical staining method and tissue and serum tumor necrosis factor(TNF) α levels were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Between days 1 and 13, the rats in the nilotinib and indomethacin groups lost significantly more weight than the controls(-11 g vs +14.14 g, P = 0.013;-30 g vs +14.14 g, P = 0.003). In the small intestinal and colonic tissues, the macroscopic scores were significantly lower in the nilotinib group than in the indomethacin group(1.14 ± 0.38 and 7.29 ± 2.98, P = 0.005; 1.14 ± 0.38 and 7.43 ± 2.64, P = 0.001, respectively), but the values of the nilotinib and indomethacin groups were similar to the control group. In the small intestinal and colonic tissues, the microscopic scores were significantly lower in the nilotinib group than in the indomethacin group(3.43 ± 2.99 and 7.67 ± 3.67, P = 0.043; 2.29 ± 0.76 and 8.80 ± 2.68, P = 0.003, respectively), but the values were similar to the control group. The PDGFR β scores in the small intestine and colon were significantly lower in the nilotinib group than in the indomethacin group(1.43 ± 0.79 and 2.43 ± 0.54, P = 0.021; 1.57 ± 0.54 and 3 ± 0, P =0.001), and the values were similar to controls. The colonic PDGFR α scores were significantly lower in the nilotinib group than in the indomethacin group(1.71 ± 0.49 and 3 ± 0, P = 0.001). The colonic apoptosis scores were significantly lower in the controls than in the nilotinib group(1.57 ± 1.13 and 4 ± 1.29, P = 0.007). Furthermore, the serum and tissue TNF-α levels were similar between the nilotinib and indomethacin groups.C O N C L U S I O N : In the indomethacin-induced enterocolitis rat model, nilotinib has a positive effect on the macroscopic and microscopic pathologic scores, ensuring considerable mucosal healing. Nilotinib decreases PDGFR α and β levels and increases the colonic apoptotic scores, but it has no significant effects on weight loss and the TNF-α levels. | Gozde Dervis Hakim Mujde Soyturk Mehtat Unlu Pinar Ataca Meral Karaman Ozgul Sagol Elif Borekci Osman Yilmaz | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015,21,44: | 0 |
