Abstract：The effects of using mixed peptides(fish collagen peptides and mussel peptides)and mixed polysaccharides(Dendrobium officinale polysaccharides and Morinda officinalis polysaccharides)alone and in combination on dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)-induced ulcerative colitis(UC)were compared.UC was induced in C57/BL6 mice by allowing them to drink 3%DSS solution ad libitum for 7 days.A total of 40 mice were randomly divided into five groups:normal group,model group,peptide-treated group,polysaccharide-treated group,and combined intervention group.Combined intervention yielded the best ameliorative effect among the three types of intervention.Compared with the model group,the combined intervention group showed an 8.93%increase in body weight change rate and a 57.14%decrease in disease activity index(DAI)score.In mice in the combined intervention group,the length of the colon increased by 29.64%,while splenomegaly and hepatomegaly were reduced by 26.19%and 20.39%,respectively.The pathological score was decreased by 55.43%,and the levels of the serum inflammatory factors interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)decreased by 24.39%,20.69%,and 26.53%,,respectively.Relative expression levels of tight junction proteins ZO-1,occludin,and claudin 1 increased by 132.61%,79.49%,and 112.77%,respectively.All noted differences were found to be statistically significant(P<0.05).Overall,the combined use of polysaccharides and polypeptides can ameliorate DSS-induced UC in mice and prevent further deterioration due to UC.These findings provide insights into the development of health products to treat UC.
