Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an intestinal inflammatory disorder. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are collectively involved in UC. This study is designed to explore the roles of lncRNA (small nucleolar RNA host gene 5) SNHG5 in UC. Gene or microRNA (miRNA) expression was detected using RT-qPCR and western blot, respectively. Cellular functions were analyzed by cell counting kit 8 (CCK8), 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine (EdU) assay, flow cytometry, and the terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase (TDT)-mediated dUTP-digoxigenin nick end labeling (TUNEL) assays. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) content was determined by a cell cytotoxicity assay. The interactions between miR-375 and SNHG5 or Janus kinase-2 () were verified by a luciferase reporter assay. SNHG5 was up-regulated in intestinal mucosa tissues of UC patients as well as tumor necrosis factor alpha-treated (TNF-α-treated) young adult mouse colon (YAMC) cells. Down-regulated SNHG5 promoted cell proliferation and inhibited apoptosis of YAMC cells. miR-375 was verified to be a target of SNHG5 and was suppressed by TNF-α treatment in YAMC cells. Over-expression of miR-375 restored YAMC cellular functions. Additionally, miR-375 targeted , which was up-regulated by TNF-α treated YAMC cells. Up-regulation of induced the dysfunction of YAMC cells. Knockdown of SNHG5 promoted the proliferation and suppressed the apoptosis of YAMC cells via regulating miR-375/ axis. Therefore, knockdown of SNHG5 may be a promising therapy for UC.

Objective: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic non-specific inflammatory disease of the rectum and colon with unknown etiology. A growing number of evidence suggest that the pathogenesis of UC is related to excessive apoptosis and production of inflammatory cytokines. However, the functions and molecular mechanisms associated with UC remain unclear.

Pectic polysaccharides (PPs) could exert functions on ulcerative colitis (UC), which is classified as a nonspecific inflammatory disorder. This study investigated the molecular mechanism of PPs derived from Rauwolfia in UC. First, the dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced mouse colitis models and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated colonic epithelial cell (YAMC) models were established and treated with PP.

Decreases in short-chain-fatty-acids (SCFAs) are linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Yet, the mechanisms through which SCFAs promote wound healing, orchestrated by intestinal stem cells, are poorly understood. We discovered that, in mice with (CR)-induced infectious colitis, treatment with Pectin and Tributyrin diets reduced the severity of colitis by restoring and and by increasing mucus production.

Article Synopsis
- Efficient healing of intestinal wounds is crucial for treating ulcerative colitis (UC), and this study investigates the impact of TGR5 and bile acids, specifically deoxycholic acid (DCA), on this process.
- The researchers found that TGR5 levels were lower in the colonic tissue of both UC patients in remission and mice with colitis, leading to delayed wound healing when exposed to DCA.
- By silencing TGR5 in lab-grown colonic epithelial cells, they demonstrated that DCA's negative effect on healing was linked to AKT signaling, suggesting potential new therapies for improving epithelial recovery in UC patients.
