Vladimiria souliei(Franch.)Ling is used as medicine with dried roots, which is a perennial herb in Asteraceae family. It has been generally applied as traditional Chinese medicine with relieving abdominal swelling or pain, and treatment of digestive system disease. However, the pharmacological mechanism of alleviating gastric ulcer (GU) for this herb were still unknown. UPLC-Q-TOF/MS was performed to analyze the main components of Vladimiria souliei extract (VSE). Based on the results of histopathological observation, cytokines assay, and immunohistochemistry staining, the therapeutic effect of VSE on ethanol-induced GU was appraised. Meanwhile, the CCK-8, LDH assay and crystal violet staining were assessed to evaluate the appropriate concentration of VSE in vitro. In GES-1 cells induced by ethanol, the cell viability, ROS and cell membrane damage assay were detected after the interference of VSE. Then, several pivotal proteins relating to necroptosis in GES-1 were evaluated through immunofluorescence staining to illustrate the further pharma-cological mechanisms. As a result, VSE significantly restrained the expansion of ulcer area, reduced the pepsin activity, restored the levels of SOD, decreased the levels of MDA, ROS, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-18, ultimately ameliorated the gastric mucosa injury. Further analysis exhibited that VSE significantly inhibited the cellular necroptosis by down-regulating the levels of RIP1, RIP3 and MLKL. Conclusions: This research clarified that the VSE could improve gastric mucosal injury through inhibition of RIP1-RIP3-MLKL necrosome activation, which might provide scientific evidences on the application of Vladimiria souliei as a ethnic herb to ameliorate GU.
