Background: The present study aims to observe the effects of ischemia-reperfusion (IR) on small intestines at a molecular level and to prospectively assess the potential preventive role of adalimumab (ADA) and antioxidants.

Methods: A total of 24 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups-a control group, an IR group and an IR+ADA group.

Results: Although there was no change in SOD levels in the small bowel tissue of the IR group, we observed increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and increased numerical density of caspase-3 and TNF-α positive enterocytes p=0.00 and p=0.00, respectively). We also observed that IR caused the degeneration of villus crypt structures.

Conclusion: We found that ADA treatment reduced MDA levels and decreased the numerical density of caspase-3 and TNF-α positive enterocytes compared to the IR group (p=0.00; p=0.011; p=0.00, respectively). We conclude that ADA can be beneficial in preventing intestinal injury that arises from IR.

Plasticity is needed during development and homeostasis to generate diverse cell types from stem and progenitor cells. Following differentiation, plasticity must be restricted in specialized cells to maintain tissue integrity and function. For this reason, specialized cell identity is stable under homeostatic conditions; however, cells in some tissues regain plasticity during injury-induced regeneration.
