Isorhynchophylline inhibits inflammatory responses in endothelial cells and macrophages through the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of arterial wall, which is closely related to inflammatory reaction. In this study, the anti-inflammatory effect of isorhynchophylline was studied by NF- κB / NLRP3 pathway.

Methods

(1) ApoE^-/- mice were fed with high-fat diet to establish atherosclerotic model, while C57 with the same genetic background was fed with common diet as control group. Body weight was recorded and blood lipids were detected. The expression of NLRP3, NF-κB, IL-18 and Caspase-1 in aorta was detected by Western-Blot and PCR, and plaque formation was detected by HE and oil red O staining. (2) Lipopolysaccharide interfered with Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) and RAW264.7 to form inflammatory model, and was treated with isorhynchophylline. The expression of NLRP3, NF-κB, IL-18 and Caspase-1 in aorta was detected by Western-Blot and PCR, and the ability of cell migration was detected by Transwell and scratch test.

Results

(1) the expression of NLRP3, NF- κB, IL-18 and Caspase-1 in aorta of model group was higher than that of control group, and plaque formation was obvious. (2) the expressions of NLRP3, NF- κB, IL-18 and Caspase-1 in HUVECs and RAW264.7 model groups were higher than those in control group, while isorhynchophylline decreased their expression and enhanced cell migration ability.

Conclusion

Isorhynchophylline can reduce the inflammatory reaction induced by lipopolysaccharide and promote the ability of cell migration.

Project description:BackgroundGlaucocalyxin B (Gla B) is a type of sesquiterpenoids. At present, there are rare studies on the pharmacological effects and targets of sesquiterpenoids, while multiple sesquiterpenoids have good anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the mechanism of Gla B on macrophages and rheumatoid arthritis.MethodsLPS/IFN-γ was used to induce M1 polarization of synovial macrophage (SMG) in vitro, followed by Gla B pretreatment (5 μM and 15 μM). Afterwards, flow cytometry was performed to detect the proportion of M1 cells (F4/80+CD86+), enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the expression levels of M1 cell markers (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, iNOS and IL-12) as well as M2 cell markers (IL-10 and TGF- β1), immunofluorescence (IF) staining was utilized to measure the expression of CD86, the level of ROS was assessed by probe and Western blot was conducted to detect the expression of P65 and p-P65. M1 polarization was detected in SMG cells with P65 silencing after 15 μM Gla B intervention. The culture medium from M1 cell was used to culture cartilage cells in vitro, followed by detection of cartilage cell injury. In animal models, collagen antibodies and LPS were combined to induce RA mouse model. Afterwards, H and E staining was performed to detect pathological changes in mouse joint synovium, safranin O-fast green staining was used to determine cartilage injury, and immunohistochemistry was utilized to detect CD86 and P65 expression. Small molecule-protein docking and co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP) were used to verify the targeted binding relationship between Gal B and P65.ResultsLPS and IFN-γ could induce M1 polarization in SMG. Gal B could inhibit M1 polarization, decrease the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, iNOS and IL-12, inhibit the expression of P65 and p-P65 while did not affect the expression of IL-10 or TGF-β1. Gal B had no significant effect in SMG cells with P65 silencing. The small molecule-protein docking and Co-IP both showed that Gal B had a targeted binding relationship with P65, and Gal B could inhibit joint injury and inflammation in mice.ConclusionGal B could target the P65 protein. Moreover, Gal B could inhibit the inflammatory injury of articular cartilage in RA by regulating M1 polarization of SMG through inhibiting the NF-κB signaling.
