Decursinol angelate relieves inflammatory bowel disease by inhibiting the ROS/TXNIP/NLRP3 pathway and pyroptosis by Yudi Wang, Yudi Wang, Jiamin Wang, Yonghu Chen, Xuezheng Li, Xuezheng Li, Zhe Jiang, Zhe Jiang

“…Molecular docking technique and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) method assay were applied to evaluate the targeting effect of DA on NLRP3 proteins, and MCC950, a specific inhibitor of NLRP3, was used as a positive control for validation.ResultsOur research indicates that DA’s distinctive molecular mechanism could entail binding to the NLRP3 protein, thereby suppressing the activation of the NLRP3 pathway and diminishing the assembly and activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, thus functioning as an anti-inflammatory agent.ConclusionDA may play a role in improving BD by inhibiting the activation of the ROS/TXNIP/NLRP3 signaling pathway and the release of inflammatory mediators, and by repairing the intestinal barrier function.…”
