At first, 60 male Wistar rats were induced of gastric lesions with indomethacin(IDM, 30 mg kg^(-1)). The rats were pretreated for 15 consecutive days with saline, sucralfate, or HI(0.4g kg^(-1) d-1, 0.8 g kg^(-1) d^(-1) and 1.6 g kg^(-1) d^(-1)) prior to IDM treatment, followed by evaluations of macroscopic damage and microscopic features; and investigation of the levels of inflammatory cytokines, oxidative stress parameters, gastric mucosal prostaglandin E2(PGE2) and total hexosamine in tissues. The expression of COX-1 and COX-2 m RNA in the gastric tissue were determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction(q PCR). Pathological gastric ulcer indexes, levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines(IL-1β, IL-17, TNF-α) and lipid peroxidation were significantly decreased in HI-treated groups, whereas the levels of protective factors(TGF-β, GSH, SOD activity and PGE2) were significantly elevated especially in the group with HI 1.61 g kg^(-1) d^(-1)(P < 0.05). Furthermore, the expression of COX-2 mRNA decreased significantly in HI groups(P < 0.05). The study investigates that holothurian intestines may act as a kind of marine medicine which have protective effect on IDM-induced gastric ulcer, which could be a dietary preventive agent for the prevention of gastric damage.展开更多
