چکیده    Ulcerative colitis (uc) involves chronic inflammation of the large intestine. several agents are used to treat uc,but adverse side effects are remaining problems. we examined the effect of tropisetron as a new type of drug for uc using a dextran sulfate sodium (dss)-induced model of colitis in mice. we developed a dss-induced model of colitis and calculated the disease activity index and colon length. we measured myeloperoxidase activity and determined the protein level and mrna level of cytokines in the colon. dss-induced colitis was ameliorated by administration of tropisetron and pnu282987. preadministration of methyllycaconitine diminished the suppressive effect of tropisetron upon dss-induced colitis. these findings suggested that α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7 nachrs) were related to the suppressive effect of tropisetron on dss-induced colitis. additionally,stimulation of α7 nachrs decreased the colon level of interleukin-6 and interferon-γ upon dss administration. furthermore,stimulation of α7 nachrs decreased macrophage infiltration,with expression of α7 nachr increased by dss administration. these results suggest that the underlying mechanism of this suppressive effect on dss-induced colitis is via stimulation of α7 nachrs and involves suppression of expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines. tropisetron could be a new type of therapeutic agent for uc. © 2015 the authors. production and hosting by elsevier b.v. on behalf of japanese pharmacological society.
