This study investigated the protective effects of cordycepin against gut inflammation induced by Cadmium (Cd) exposure. The results showed that cordycepin significantly reduced Cd-induced embryotoxicity and oxidative stress. It also normalized the levels of liver-related biomarkers affected by Cd exposure and downregulated the expression of inflammatory genes.
Cadmium (Cd) exposure is known to cause gut inflammation. In this study, we investigated the protective effects of cordycepin, a natural compound with pharmacological properties, against gut inflammation induced by Cd exposure. Using zebrafish larvae and colon cell line models, we examined the impact of cordycepin on Cd-induced toxicity and inflammation. Zebrafish larvae were exposed to Cd (2 & mu;g/mL) and treated with different concentrations of cordycepin (12.5, 25 and 50 & mu;g/mL). Cordycepin treatment significantly reduced Cd-induced embryotoxicity in zebrafish larvae. It also alleviated Cd-induced oxidative stress by reducing reactive oxygen species (ROS), lipid peroxidation and apoptosis. Furthermore, cordycepin treatment normalized the levels of liver-related biomarkers affected due to Cd exposure. Additionally, cordycepin (50 & mu;g/mL) demonstrated a significant reduction in Cd bioaccumulation and downregulated the expression of inflammatory genes in both zebrafish larval gut and colon cell lines. These findings suggest that cordycepin could be an effective agent against Cd-induced gut inflammation.
