Effect of argatroban on trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid‐induced colitis

Abstract: The colonic wet weight was similar among the four groups while the macroscopic damage score, histological score, mucosal myeloperoxidase activity and the mucosal LTB4 level were significantly decreased in the TNB-A and TNB-H groups. Argatroban, as well as heparin may be effective for treatment of TNB-induced colitis.

“…[3][4][5] These changes in coagulant-anticoagulant factors are accompanied by enhanced thrombus formation in microvessels of organs distant to the colon, such as skeletal muscle. 3,6,7 Although the contributions of different pro-(tissue factor, thrombin) and anti-(activated protein C) coagulants to colitis-enhanced extra-intestinal thrombosis have been evaluated, 3,6,7 the chemical and/or cellular signal produced by the inflamed colon that promotes thrombosis at distant sites remain undefined.…”

“…The influence of anticoagulant strategies on the severity of gut inflammation has been examined previously in animal models of IBD. For example, the thrombin-directed drugs, heparin and argatroban, have significantly reduced macroscopic and histological damage, mucosal MPO activity and mucosal leukotriene B 4 levels (as a proinflammatory mediator) in rats with TNBS-induced colitis [ 14 , 15 ]. Similar protection against gut inflammation has been demonstrated following intracolonic administration of the low-molecular-weight heparin, CB-01-05, in rats with dinitrobenzene-induced colitis [ 16 ].…”

“…However, emerging evidence from rodent models of chemically induced colitis (e.g., DSS, TNBS) suggest that the balance between anticoagulant and procoagulant factors is tipped in favor of coagulation and thrombosis. For example, thrombocytosis and increased plasma fibrinogen levels, along with a corresponding reduction in antithrombin III concentration, has been reported in rats with TNBS‐induced colitis 44. Similarly, thrombin‐antithrombin (TAT) complexes are 3 times higher in mice with DSS colitis compared to their control (noncolitic) counterparts, implicating an accelerated production of thrombin in the diseased mice 45.…”

“…The view that coagulation and inflammation are interdependent processes that propagate and amplify each other is also supported by studies that examined the influence of anticoagulant strategies on the severity of gut inflammation in animal models of IBD. For example, the thrombin‐directed drugs heparin and argatroban (interferes with the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin by thrombin) have been shown to significantly reduce macroscopic and histologic damage, mucosal myeloperoxidase activity (a measure of neutrophil accumulation), and mucosal LTB4 levels in rats with TNBS‐induced colitis 44, 66. Similar protection against gut inflammation was recently demonstrated following intracolonic administration of the low‐molecular‐weight heparin CB‐01‐05 in rats with dinitrobenzene‐induced colitis 67.…”
