Figure Legend Snippet: Acacetin improves gastrointestinal motility in loperamide‐induced constipation model. A loperamide‐induced constipation model was established in mice, different doses of acacetin were administered to the mice by oral gavaging (YWL‐high: 50 mg/kg/day; YWL‐medium: 25 mg/kg/day; YWL‐low: 10 mg/kg/day). The following parameters were monitored in an activated charcoal test after fasting treatment. (A‐D) Defecation initiation time; Fecal pellet counts at 8 h; Fecal water content; and intestinal propulsion rates. (E) Small intestine length measurements. (F) Gastrointestinal transit rates determined by activated charcoal propulsion. N = 6 animals in each group. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001.
Techniques Used:
Figure Legend Snippet: YWL extract and acacetin protect against loperamide‐induced apoptosis in colonic mucosal epithelial cells. (A) Cell viability after treatment with increasing doses of YWL extract. (B) Cell viability after treatment with increasing doses of acacetin. (C) Cell viability rescue by YWL extract and acacetin against loperamide‐induced toxicity. (D) TUNEL staining showing suppression of loperamide‐induced apoptosis by YWL and acacetin. (E) Immunoblots of cleaved caspase‐3 and Bax levels. (F) Immunoblots of phospho‐ and total P53 and AKT1 levels. (G) P53 transcriptional activity analysis. N = 3 independent experiments. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001.
Techniques Used: TUNEL Assay, Staining, Western Blot, Activity Assay
Figure Legend Snippet: Activating P53 signaling abrogates the protection of acacetin against loperamide‐induced apoptosis. (A) P53 transcriptional activity analysis after Nutlin‐3a treatment. (B) Immunoblotting of phospho‐P53 and phospho‐AKT1 levels. (C) Cell viability analysis by CCK‐8 assay showing abrogation of the protective effect of acacetin by Nutlin‐3a. (D) TUNEL staining demonstrating Nutlin‐3a abolishes the suppression of acacetin on loperamide‐induced apoptosis. N = 3 independent experiments. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001.
