Objectives: Crohn`s disease (CD) is characterized by a chronic relapsing inflammation of the bowel in which proinflammatory cytokines play an important perpetuating role. Methods: Mice (preventive animal model of gliotoxin) were treated with 5 % 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid (TNBS) at day 1 and day 7. To investigate preventive effects of acupuncture with Gujin at LI11, acupuncture was carried out at day -1, day 1, day 3. And, to investigate therapeutic effects, acupuncture with Gujin was carried out at day 3, day 5, day 7. For the data analysis, we checked weight and width of colon, diarrhea, edema, survival rate, changes of body weight, and myeloperoxygenase (MPO) activity. For analysing protein expression, we carried out immunohistochemical staining and Western blot and we analyzed mRNA expression by RT-PCR. Results: Colon of TNBS treated mice was erosive and shortening compared with the colon of control mice and induced damages of colon epithelial cell Layer and induced infiltration of immune cells in all Layer of colon. Acupuncture of gujin at LI11 in preventive mode suppressed macorscopic damages such as erosive and shortening of colon by TNBS and damages of intestinal epithelial cells and infiltration of immune cells in the colon. The average weight of 5 cm distal colon was increased in TNBS treated mice (758㎍) compared with in control mice (112㎍) and width of distal colon was also increased in TNBS treated mice (4.9mm) compared with in control mice (1.3㎜). Acupuncture with Gujin at LI11 in preventive and therapeutic mode suppressed increase of colon weight and width by TNBS. TNBS induced edema of colon and diarrhea and Acupunctured with Gujin at LI11 in preventive and therapeutic mode ameliorated these symptom by TNBS. In preventive and therapeutic mode, the effects of acupuncture with Gujin at LI11 were increasing the motility, suppressing body weight decreasing, suppressing MPO activity, reducing expressing of TNF-α, IL-1b, and ICAM-1 in colon compared with that by TNBS Conclusions: This study demonstrates that acupuncture with Gujin at LI11 represents a potential therapeutic method of Crohn`s disease.
