Objective: Intestinal brosis is a common complication of in ammatory bowel disease and is characterized by tissue stiffening and luminal narrowing. Dihydromyricetin (DHM) can alleviate liver brosis and renal interstitial brosis by inducing autophagy. However, whether DHM can alleviate intestinal brosis remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the role and mechanism of action of DHM in in ammatory bowel disease-associated intestinal brosis .Methods: Mice were administered Dextran sulphate Sodium (DSS) in drinking water to induce in ammatory bowel disease-associated intestinal brosis. HE staining, qPCR and Western blotting were used to analyze colon in ammation. Masson' s trichrome staining, qPCR, Western blotting and immuno uorescence staining were used to evaluate the severity of brosis. Transmission electron microscopy and Western blotting were used to assess the activation of autophagosomes. The human colonic broblast line CCD-18Co, was cultured in the presence of TGF-β1 to develop a brotic phenotype.Immuno uorescence staining, Western blotting and qPCR were used to assess the alteration of brosis markers and used to investigate whether DHM-induced autophagy was involved in the inactivation of CCD-18Co cells. Additionally, the role of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway was investigated.Results: DHM alleviated intestinal in ammation and inhibited the progression of intestinal brosis. Additionally, DHM induced the activation of autophagy, thereby alleviating intestinal brosis, and downregulated the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in vitro.Conclusions: Overall, this study demonstrated that DHM can inhibit the progression of intestinal brosis and activation of colonic broblasts by inducing autophagy through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, thereby playing a preventive and therapeutic role in intestinal brosis.
