| Description | Levels of type 2 cytokines are elevated in the blood and intestinal tissues of ulcerative colitis (UC) patients in the active phase; this phenomenon indicates the participation of type 2 immune response in UC progression. The beneficial effects of melatonin in dextran sodium sulfate (DSS) and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS) colitis models have been illustrated, but its role in the oxazolone (Oxa)-induced colitis model (driven by type 2 immune response) remains relatively unknown. We investigated the relationship between melatonin concentration and the severity of UC, revealing a significantly negative correlation. Subsequently, we investigated the effects of melatonin in Oxa-induced colitis mice and the potential underlying mechanisms. Administration of melatonin significantly counteracted body weight loss, colon shortening, and neutrophil infiltration in Oxa-induced colitis mice. Melatonin treatment mitigated Oxa-induced colitis by suppressing type 2 immune response. In addition, melatonin attenuated intestinal permeability by enhancing the expression of ZO-1 and occludin in colitis mice. Interestingly, the protective effect of melatonin was abolished when the mice were co-housed, indicating that the regulation of gut microbiota by melatonin was critical in alleviating Oxa-induced colitis.

| Abstract | Abstract Type 2 cytokines increase in the blood and intestinal tissues of UC patients in active phase, indicating the participation of type 2 immune response in the UC progression. The beneficial effects of melatonin on DSS and TNBS colitis model have been illustrated, but its role in oxazolone (Oxa)-induced colitis model driven by type 2 immune response remains elusive. We investigated the relationship between the concentration of melatonin and the severity of ulcerative colitis, which showed a significant negative correlation. Subsequently, we detected the effect and potential mechanisms of melatonin in Oxa-induced colitis mice. Administration of melatonin significantly reduced body weight loss, colon shortening, as well as neutrophil infiltration in Oxa-induced colitis mice. Melatonin treatment also mitigates Oxa-induced colitis by suppressing type 2 immune response. In addition, we used western blotting assays and found that melatonin attenuated intestinal permeability by enhancing the expression of ZO-1 and Occludin in colitis mice. Interestingly, the protection by melatonin was abolished when mice were co-housed, indicating that the regulation of gut microbiota by melatonin was critical in alleviating Oxa-induced colitis. Afterwards, 16S rRNA sequencing was performed to explore the microbiota composition, which showed a decreased richness and diversity of intestinal microbiota on OTU level after melatonin treatment. Melatonin also caused elevation of Bifidobacterium, a kind of well-known probiotics, and reduction of several harmful bacterial genus, such as Desulfovibrio, Peptococcaceae and Lachnospiraceae. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) was used to explore the necessity of microbiota for the function of melatonin in Oxa-induced colitis. We noticed that Microbiota transplantation from melatonin-treated mice alleviated Oxa-induced colitis, suggesting microbiota was required for the relief of Oxa-induced colitis by melatonin. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that melatonin ameliorates Oxa-induced colitis in microbiota-dependent manner, suggesting the therapeutic potential of melatonin in UC by targeting type 2 immune response. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
