OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of moxibustion on serum inflammatory factors, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) and nuclear factor Kappa B (NF-kappaB) in colon tissue of rats with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D),so as to explore the mechanism of moxibustion in the treatment of IBS-D.METHODS: Healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group and moxibustion group, with 8 rats in each group. The IBS-D model was established by chronic restraint combined with gavage of Senna-leaf solution. The rats of the moxibustion group was treated with moxibustion at "Tianshu"(ST25)and "Shangjuxu"(ST37)for 30 min, once a day for 7 d. After the intervention, the rate of loose stools and the minimum threshold volume of abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR) induced by colorectal distension were observed. The contents of serum inflammatory factors IL-1beta, TNF-alpha and IL-6 were detected by ELISA. The pathological changes of rat colon were observed by H.E. staining. The average optical density of TLR4 and NF-kappaB (p65) in colon tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. The relative expressions of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-kappaB (p65) mRNAs in colon tissues were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR, and the expression levels of TLR4, MyD88 and NF-kappaB (p65) proteins in colon tissues were detected by Western blot.RESULTS: There was a mild degree of inflammation in colon in rats of the model group. Compared with the blank group, the minimum volume threshold of AWR decreased significantly (P< 0.01), and the rate of loose stools, the contents of IL-1beta, IL-6 and TNF-alpha in serum as well as the expressions of TLR4, MyD88, NF-kappaB (p65) mRNAs and protein in colon tissues were significantly increased in the model group (P
