Cucurbitacin IIa Alleviates Colitis via Promoting the Release of Host-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Encapsulating microRNA-30b-5p by Zhao Y, Jiang B, Zuo S

“…However, the underlying mechanisms by which cucurbitacins affect colitis remain largely unknown.Methods: In this study, we investigated the impact of cucurbitacin IIa on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in rats and the alterations in intestinal extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs were isolated and characterized, followed by analysis of the small RNAs and proteins encapsulated within them using small RNA sequencing and proteomics, respectively.Results: Our results revealed that cucurbitacin IIa alleviated colitis symptoms in DSS-treated rats, along with changes in the morphology and composition of intestinal EVs. …”
