ABSTRACT
Acute gastric mucosal injury is a common gastrointestinal disorder, which influences patients' life quality. It was found that ovotransferrin (OVT) reduces the abundance of Helicobacter pylori associated with gastric disease in the intestine of immunosuppressed mice. To clarify its gastric protective function, the present study investigated the effect of OVT on BALB/c mice with ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury. Results showed that OVT attenuated the ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury. Furthermore, OVT effectively downregulated the expression of inflammatory markers (tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1ß and IL-6) but enhanced the secretion of IL-4, IL-10 and prostaglandin E2. And OVT pretreatment significantly inhibited the activation of the MAPK/NF-κB pathway. Additionally, OVT improved gastric antioxidant ability by increasing superoxide dismutase and glutathione levels and decreasing malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase content. Pretreatment with OVT modulated the equilibrium between B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) and Bcl-2-associated X. The above results indicated that OVT alleviated inflammatory responses, oxidative stress and apoptosis in gastric mucosal injury mice caused by ethanol.
