Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) has known anti-inflammatory effects. However, the role of ANP in Ulcerative colitis (UC) remains unclear. This study aimed to explore the expression and function of ANP in UC, and its potential regulatory role in the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) pathway. Human colon biopsy and serum samples were collected between September 2018 and December 2019 at Wuhan Union Hospital. Levels of ANP and its receptors and STING pathway components were detected in people with UC and mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. These mice and HT-29 cells were treated with ANP and an agonist of the STING pathway. The level of inflammation, STING pathway, gut barrier, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress-induced autophagy were measured. We found that the levels of ANP and its receptor decreased and the STING pathway activated statistically in people with UC and the mouse model of colitis. ANP treatment attenuated DSS-induced colitis and inhibited STING pathway phosphorylation in colonic tissue and epithelial cells. An interaction between cGAS and NPR-A was verified. ANP repaired the gut barrier and inhibited ER stress-induced autophagy via the STING pathway. ANP may thus alter colonic barrier function and regulate ER stress-induced autophagy as a promising therapy for UC. |
