    Abstract:
    Linarin is a natural flavonoid compound found in Chrysanthemum indicum, Mentha species and other plants with various biological activities. The study aimed to investigate the protective effect of linarin supplementation on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in C57BL/6J mice and its potential mechanisms. The results showed that doses of linarin at 25 and 50 mg kg-1 day-1 alleviated the DSS-induced histopathological damage, and improved the mucosal layer and intestinal barrier function. Importantly, Linarin significantly suppressed the levels of myeloperoxidase activity and pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-1β) in the colon, and enhanced the mRNA level of anti-inflammatory cytokine (IL-10). Moreover, 50 mg kg-1 day-1 linarin reversed the gut microbiota damaged by DSS, including Alistipes, Rikenella and Clostridia UCG-014_norank. Linarin also partly increased the relative abundance of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)-producing bacteria, including Lactobacillus, Roseburia, Parabacteroides and Blautia, and elevated the contents of SCFAs. Collectively, linarin attenuates DSS-induced colitis in mice, suggesting that linarin may be a promising nutritional strategy for reducing inflammatory bowel disease.
