Abstract Objective: To explore the effect of paeoniflorin (PAE) on necroptosis in chronic colitis rats by regulating the receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1)/receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIP3)/mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) signaling pathway. Methods: Healthy SD rats were randomly divided into six groups, with six rats per group: Control group, Model group, and three treatment groups with low, medium, and high doses of PAE administered via gavage for 7 days (1.25g·kg-1·d-1 PAE-L group, 2.5g·kg-1·d-1 PAE-M group, 5g·kg-1·d-1 PAE-H group), and a combination group with high-dose PAE gavage for 7 days plus tail vein injection of RIP1 activator for 7 days (5g·kg-1·d-1 PAE-H + 1.5mg·kg-1·d-1 Z-VAD-fmk group). A chronic colitis model was established, and after successful modeling, blood was collected from the rats via the orbital vein. Colonic mucosa tissues were collected for HE staining to observe the morphology of colon tissues; colonic mucosal damage index (CMDI) scores were analyzed; TUNEL assay was used to detect apoptosis in colon tissues; immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-1, MMP-2) in colon tissues; ELISA was used to detect serum levels of inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α); and western blotting was used to detect the expression of RIP1/RIP3/MLKL signaling pathway proteins in colon tissues. Results: Compared with the Control group, the Model group exhibited colonic mucosal erosion, edema, and inflammatory cell infiltration, with increased CMDI scores, apoptosis rate, IL-6, TNF-α levels, and upregulated expression of MMP-1, MMP-2, p-RIP1/RIP1, p-RIP3/RIP3, and p-MLKL/MLKL proteins (P<0.05). Compared with the Model group, the PAE-L, PAE-M, and PAE-H groups showed a gradual reduction in inflammatory cell infiltration in colonic mucosa tissues, decreased CMDI scores, apoptosis rate, IL-6, TNF-α levels, and downregulated expression of MMP-1, MMP-2, p-RIP1/RIP1, p-RIP3/RIP3, and p-MLKL/MLKL proteins (P<0.05). Compared with the PAE-H group, the PAE-H + Z-VAD-fmk group showed exacerbated inflammation in colonic mucosa tissues, with increased CMDI scores, apoptosis rate, IL-6, TNF-α levels, and upregulated expression of MMP-1, MMP-2, p-RIP1/RIP1, p-RIP3/RIP3, and p-MLKL/MLKL proteins (P<0.05). Conclusion: Paeoniflorin can alleviate necroptosis in chronic colitis rats by inhibiting the RIP1/RIP3/MLKL signaling pathway.
