Gut barrier disruption is often implicated in pathogenesis associated with burn and other traumatic injuries. In this study, we examined whether therapeutic intervention with mesalamine (5-ASA), a common anti-inflammatory treatment for patients with inflammatory bowel disease, reduces intestinal inflammation and maintains normal barrier integrity after burn injury. Male C57BL/6 mice were administered an ~20% total body surface area dorsal scald burn and resuscitated with either 1mL normal saline or 100mg/kg of 5-ASA dissolved in saline. We examined intestinal transit and permeability along with levels of small intestine epithelial cell pro-inflammatory cytokines and tight junction protein expression one day after burn injury in the presence or absence of 5-ASA. A significant decrease in intestinal transit was observed one day after burn injury, which accompanied a significant increase in gut permeability. We found a substantial increase in the levels of IL-6 (by ~1.5 fold) and IL-18 (by ~2.5 fold) in small intestine epithelial cells one day after injury. Furthermore, burn injury decreases expression of the tight junction proteins claudin-4, claudin-8, and occludin. Treatment with 5-ASA after burn injury prevented the burn induced increase in permeability, partially restored normal intestinal transit, normalized levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-18, and restored tight junction protein expression of claudin-4 and occludin to that of sham levels. Together these findings suggest that 5-ASA can potentially be used as treatment to decrease intestinal inflammation and normalize intestinal function after burn injury.
