The invention discloses application of fraxinellone as a cGAS-STING
signal channel inhibitor in preparation of a
medicine for treating
inflammatory bowel disease, and belongs to the technical field of biological
medicine. Aiming at the problem that the specific action mechanism between fraxinellone and the
inflammatory bowel disease is not clear, the invention researches the specific action mechanism of fraxinellone for exerting the treatment and protection effects on the
inflammatory bowel disease from the in-vivo and in-vitro aspects. Results show that the FRA can significantly inhibit the increase of the ROS level of IEC-6 cells caused by LPS, improve the mitochondrial
membrane potential, significantly improve the
pathological characteristics of DSS-induced mouse
weight loss, DAI index increase, red, swollen and shortened colon, damaged
colon tissue structure and the like, and inhibit the expression level of
inflammatory factors. According to the present invention, it is found that the FRA can up-regulate the TJ
tight junction protein and recover the intestinal
barrier function by regulating the expression of cGAS-STING
signal channel related proteins such as cGAS, STING, p-TBK1, NF-kappa B and the transcriptional level of mRNA, such that the IBD
treatment effect is provided, and the basic basis is provided for the development of the new IBD treatment
drug or strategy.
