Therapeutic effects of D-cycloserine in mouse models of IBD and CAC: Targeting NLRP3 inflammasome and intestinal barrier integrity
D-Cycloserine (DCS), a broad-spectrum antibiotic and NMDA receptor modulator, exhibits immunomodulatory effects beyond its known neurological and antimicrobial functions. This study investigated DCS's therapeutic potential in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colitis-associated colorectal cancer (CAC) using in vitro and in vivo models. In lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated NCM460 cells, DCS inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activation and restored tight junction protein expression. In dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced murine colitis, both preventive and therapeutic DCS regimens attenuated inflammation, reduced histopathological damage, and preserved intestinal barrier integrity. In azoxymethane (AOM)/DSS-induced CAC, DCS decreased tumor burden and reduced Ki-67+ cell proliferation without systemic toxicity. These findings position DCS as a promising dual-target candidate for IBD and CAC management through NLRP3-caspase-1-GSDMD pathway inhibition and epithelial barrier maintenance.
期刊介绍:
International Immunopharmacology is the primary vehicle for the publication of original research papers pertinent to the overlapping areas of immunology, pharmacology, cytokine biology, immunotherapy, immunopathology and immunotoxicology. Review articles that encompass these subjects are also welcome.
The subject material appropriate for submission includes:
• Clinical studies employing immunotherapy of any type including the use of: bacterial and chemical agents; thymic hormones, interferon, lymphokines, etc., in transplantation and diseases such as cancer, immunodeficiency, chronic infection and allergic, inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.
• Studies on the mechanisms of action of these agents for specific parameters of immune competence as well as the overall clinical state.
• Pre-clinical animal studies and in vitro studies on mechanisms of action with immunopotentiators, immunomodulators, immunoadjuvants and other pharmacological agents active on cells participating in immune or allergic responses.
• Pharmacological compounds, microbial products and toxicological agents that affect the lymphoid system, and their mechanisms of action.
• Agents that activate genes or modify transcription and translation within the immune response.
• Substances activated, generated, or released through immunologic or related pathways that are pharmacologically active.
• Production, function and regulation of cytokines and their receptors.
• Classical pharmacological studies on the effects of chemokines and bioactive factors released during immunological reactions.
