Palmatine (Pal), a plant-based isoquinoline alkaloid, was initially isolated from Coptidis Rhizoma (CR, Huanglian in Chinese) and considered to be a potential non-antibiotic therapeutic agent that can safely and effectively improve Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) induced chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG). However, underlying mechanisms are unclear. In this study, we explored the protective effect of Pal on H. pylori induced CAG in vivo and in vitro. As a result, Pal alleviated the histological damage of gastric mucosa and the morphological changes of gastric epithelial cell (GES-1) caused by H. pylori. Furthermore, Pal significantly inhibited the expression of EGFR-activated ligand genes, including a disintegrin and metalloproteinase 17 (ADAM17) and heparin-binding epidermal growth factor-like growth factor (HB-EGF), and the proinflammatory factors, such as chemokine 16 (CXCL-16) and interleukin 8 (IL-8), were suppressed. In addition, Pal attenuated inflammatory infiltration of CD8(+) T cells while promoted Reg3a expression to enhance host defense. Taken together, we concluded that Pal attenuated the MMP-10 dependent inflammatory response in the gastric mucosa by blocking ADAM17/EGFR signaling, which contributed to its gastrointestinal protective effect.
