[Abstract]
Objective To explore the efficacy and mechanism of action of Scutellaria Baicalensis stem-leaf total flavonoids (SSTF) in the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) complicated with anemia. Methods The flavonoid components and their target sites in the stems and leaves of Scutellaria baicalensis were obtained through literature review and the Swiss Target Prediction database. The target sites of ulcerative colitis (UC) combined with anemia were collected from the GeneCards, OMIM and TTD databases. The Venny 2.1 drawing software was used to obtain the intersection target sites of drugs and diseases. The intersection target sites were imported into the STRING database to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. The Metascape data platform was used for gene ontology (GO) functional and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis. The AutoDock 1.5.7 software was used for molecular docking of the main active components and key target sites. The UC mouse model was established by using oxazolone. The successfully modeled mice were randomly divided into the model group, the solvent (0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose sodium) group, the sulfasalazine enteric-coated tablet (SASP, positive drug, 450 mg·kg−1) group and the SSTF low, medium and high dose (26, 52, 104 mg·kg−1) groups, with 15 mice in each group. Another 15 mice were set as the control group without modeling. The treatment groups were given the corresponding drugs by intragastric administration from the 9th day, while the control group and the model group were given 0.9% sodium chloride solution once a day for seven consecutive days. The body weight of the mice was measured every day from the 8th day, and the disease activity index (DAI) score was evaluated. After drug administration, the colon length was measured, the spleen tissue was weighed and the spleen index was calculated. The colon tissue was stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) for histopathological examination. The levels of serum tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 10 (IL-10), erythropoietin (EPO), iron (SI), ferritin (SF), hepcidin and soluble transferrin receptor (sTfR) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits. The mRNA expressions of erythropoietin receptor (EPOR), erythroferrone (ERFE), ferroportin (FPN/SLC40A1) in spleen tissue and hepcidin, FPN and Hepcidin in liver tissue were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR). Results The results of network pharmacology indicated that 27 flavonoid components in SSTF could act on 25 intersection targets such as EPO and EPOR, and regulate signaling pathways such as JAK/STAT. The results of molecular docking showed that the main active components, baicalin, wogonin, luteolin, scutellarein, and apigenin, had stable binding with key targets. The in vivo experiments demonstrated that compared with the model group, the body weight of mice in the SSTF group significantly increased, the DAI score significantly decreased, the spleen index significantly decreased, and the colon length significantly increased (P < 0.05, 0.01); the pathological damage of colon tissue was significantly improved; the levels of Hepcidin, sTfR, and TNF-α in serum significantly decreased (P < 0.05, 0.01), while the levels of SF, SI, HGB, EPO, and IL-10 in serum significantly increased (P < 0.05, 0.01); the mRNA expression levels of EPOR, ERFE, and FPN in spleen tissue and FPN in liver tissue significantly increased (P < 0.05, 0.01), and the mRNA expression level of Hepcidin in liver tissue significantly decreased (P < 0.05). Conclusion SSTF can treat UC combined with anemia by regulating the EPOR/ERFE/FPN signaling axis.
