26339273 Herb-Partitioned Moxibustion Regulates the TLR2/NF-kappaB Signaling Pathway in a Rat Model of Ulcerative Colitis. Evid Based Complement Alternat Med. 2015;2015:949065. doi: 10.1155/2015/949065. Epub 2015 Aug 3. 2015 The TLR2/NF-kappaB signaling pathway plays an important role in the pathomechanism of ulcerative colitis (UC); acupuncture and moxibustion can improve the damage in colonic tissues of UC, but the regulatory mechanism remains unknown. This study observed the effect of moxibustion on the TLR2/NF-kappaB signaling pathway at the Tianshu (ST25) and Qihai (CV6) acupuncture points in the UC rat. The result shows that TLR2, IRAK1, and IKK-b mRNA and protein levels in the colonic mucosa were significantly higher in the UC rats than in the control rats. Herb-partitioned moxibustion reduced the expression of TLR2, IRAK1, and IKK-b mRNA and proteins in the UC rats. Similarly, the expression of NF-kappaB was significantly increased and IFN-beta and IL-10 were significantly decreased in the colonic mucosa of UC rats, but herb-partitioned moxibustion reduced the expression of IFN-beta and upregulating the expression of IFN-beta and IL-10 significantly. It indicates that herb-partitioned moxibustion can inhibit the expression of multiple signaling molecules of the TLR2 pathway effectively, and it may modulate the excessive local immune response by inhibiting TLR2 signaling, thereby promoting the repair of damaged colonic mucosa."

Evidence Sentence: Similarly, the expression of NF-kappaB was significantly increased and IFN-beta and IL-10 were significantly decreased in the colonic mucosa of UC rats, but herb-partitioned moxibustion reduced the expression of IFN-beta and upregulating the expression of IFN-beta and IL-10 significantly.
Evidence Sentence: IFN-beta Expression in Rat Colonic Mucosa
Evidence Sentence: As shown in Figures 14 and 15, IFN-beta protein levels in the colonic mucosa were significantly lower in UC rats than in the control rats, as indicated by both the total area of staining and the integrated optical density (P < 0.01 in both cases).
Evidence Sentence: Both herb-partitioned moxibustion and SASP treatments significantly increased IFN-beta protein levels in the colonic mucosa of UC rats by both of these measurements (P < 0.01 in both cases).
Evidence Sentence: Between the two treatment groups, IFN-beta protein levels in the colonic mucosa were significantly higher with herb-partitioned moxibustion than with SASP treatment as indicated by both of these measurements (P < 0.05 in both cases).
