Abstract
Biotechnological advancements require the physicochemical alteration of molecules to enhance their biological efficacy for the effective treatment of gastric ulcers. The study aimed to produce a polyelectrolytic compound from red angico gum (AG) by carboxymethylation, evaluate its physicochemical characteristics and investigate gastric protection against ethanol-induced ulcers. AG and carboxymethylated angico gum (CAG) were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, determination of the degree of substitution and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and 13C NMR techniques. The results demonstrated that the modification of the polymer was satisfactory, presenting conformational changes e improving the interaction with the gastric mucosa. AG and CAG reduced macroscopic and microscopic damage such as edema, hemorrhage and cell loss caused by exposure of the mucosa to alcohol. Both demonstrated antioxidant activity in vitro, and in vivo, pretreatment with gums led to the restoration of superoxide dismutase and glutathione levels compared to the injured group. Concurrently, the levels of malondialdehyde and nitrite decreased. Atomic force microscopy showed that CAG presented better conformational properties of affinity and protection with the gastric mucosa compared to AG in the acidic pH. Based on our findings, it is suggested that this compound holds promise as a prospective product for future biotechnological applications.

Mechanism of preservation of the intestinal mucosa architecture and NF-κB/PGE2 reduction by hydrogen sulfide on cholera toxin-induced diarrhea in mice. Life Sci 2021; 284:119869.

Abstract
AIMS Investigate the involvement of Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in inflammatory parameters and intestinal morphology caused by cholera toxin (CT) in mice. MAIN METHODS Mice were subjected to the procedure of inducing diarrhea by CT in the isolated intestinal loop model. The intestinal loops were inoculated with H2S donor molecules (NaHS and GYY 4137) or saline and CT. To study the role of EP2 and EP4 prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) receptors in the H2S antisecretory effect, PAG (DL-propargylglycine - inhibitor of cystathionine-γ-lyase (CSE)), PF-04418948 (EP2 antagonist) and ONO-AE3-208 (EP4 antagonist) were used. The intestinal loops were evaluated for intestinal secretion, relation of the depth of villi and intestinal crypts, and real-time PCR for the mRNA of the CXCL2, IL-6, NOS-2, IL-17, NF-κB1, NF-κBIA, SLC6A4 and IFN-γ genes. KEY FINDINGS H2S restored the villus/crypt depth ratio caused by CT. NaHS and GYY 4137 increased the expression of NF-κB1 and for the NF-κBIA gene, only GYY 4137 increased the expression of this gene. The increased expression of NF-κB inhibitors, NF-κB1 and NF-κBIA by H2S indicates a possible decrease in NF-κB activity. The pretreatment with PAG reversed the protective effect of PF-04418948 and ONO-AE3-208, indicating that H2S probably decreases PGE2 because in the presence of antagonists of this pathway, PAG promotes intestinal secretion. SIGNIFICANCE Our results point to a protective activity of H2S against CT for promoting a protection of villus and crypt intestine morphology and also that its mechanism occurs at least in part due to decreasing the activity of NF-κB and PGE2.

Abstract
The transient receptor potential vanilloid channel 4 (TRPV4) is associated with the development of several pathologies, particularly gastric disorders. However, there are no studies associating this receptor with the pathophysiology of gastric erosions. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of TRPV4 in the development of ethanol-induced gastric damage in vivo. Gastric lesions were induced by ethanol in Swiss mice pretreated with TRPV4 antagonists, GSK2193874 (0.1; 0.3 and 0.9 mg/kg) or Ruthenium red (0.03; 0.1 or 0.3 mg/kg) or its agonist, GSK1016790A (0.9 mg/kg). Gastric mucosal samples were taken for histopathology, immunohistochemistry, atomic force microscopy and evaluation of antioxidant parameters. The gastric mucus content and TRPV4 mRNA expression were analyzed. Ethanol exposure induced upregulation of gastric mRNA and protein expression of TRPV4. TRPV4 blockade promoted gastroprotection against ethanol-induced injury on macro- and microscopic levels, leading to reduced hemorrhage, cell loss and edema and enhanced gastric mucosal integrity. Moreover, an increase in superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione (GSH) activity was observed, followed by a decrease in malondialdehyde (MDA) levels. TRPV4 blockade during alcohol challenge reestablished gastric mucus content. The combination of TRPV4 agonist and ethanol revealed macroscopic exacerbation of gastric damage area. Our results confirmed the association of TRPV4 with the development of gastric injury, showing the importance of this receptor for further investigations in the field of gastrointestinal pathophysiology and pharmacology.
