摘要
Recent reports suggest increased incidence and severity of Clostridium difficile-associated diseases. These facts have raised the need for additional clarification of pathogenesis and for a search for new therapeutic strategies. This study evaluated the effects of the polysaccharide fucoidin, an L-selectin blocker, on toxin-A-induced mouse enteritis. Fucoidin (25 mg/kg) or saline (0.1 ml) were injected systemically (ocular plexus) 5 min prior to local challenge with toxin A (5 mu g/ileal loop) or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). Intestinal fluid volume/length and ileal loop weight/length ratios were calculated 3 h later. Ileal tissues were collected for histopathology and measurement of myeloperoxidase and adenosine deaminase activity. Fucoidin significantly (P < 0.05) prevented the toxin-A-induced increase in weight/length and volume/length ratios and reduced mucosal disruption, as shown in histopathology. Fucoidin also significantly (P < 0.05) reduced toxin-A-induced myeloperoxidase and adenosine deaminase activities. In conclusion, fucoidin reduces tissue injury and inflammation in toxin-A-induced mouse enteritis.
