Oleacein Attenuates Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammation in THP-1-Derived Macrophages by the Inhibition of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB Pathway.

ABSTRACT: It is known that plant phenolic compounds exert anti-inflammatory activity through both anti-oxidant effects and modulation of pivotal pro-inflammatory factors. Recently, Olea europaea has been studied as a natural source of bioactive molecules; however, few studies have focused on the biological effect of oleacein (OLC), the most abundant secoiridoid. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the potential anti-oxidant activity of OLC, as well as to study its anti-inflammatory effect in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated THP-1-derived macrophages. LPS brought a dramatic increase of both release and gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α), as well as a decrease of anti-inflammatory ones (IL-10), the effects of which are reverted by OLC. Moreover, it reduced the levels of COX-2, NO and PGE2 elicited by LPS exposure in THP-1 macrophages. Interestingly, OLC modulated inflammatory signaling pathways through the inhibition of CD14/TLR4/CD14/MyD88 axis and the activation of NF-κB. Finally, OLC showed relevant anti-oxidant capability, assessed by abiotic assays, and reduced the intracellular amount of ROS generated by LPS exposure in THP-1 macrophages. Overall, these results suggest that the anti-oxidant activity and anti-inflammatory effect of OLC may cooperate in its protective effect against inflammatory stressors, thus being a possible alternative pharmacological strategy aimed at reducing the inflammatory process.

Project description:BackgroundNeutrophilic airway inflammation is a challenge in asthma management and is associated with poor patient prognosis. Mucin 1 (MUC1), which contains a cytoplasmic tail (MUC1-CT), has been found to mediate glucocorticoid sensitivity in asthma; however, its role in modulating neutrophilic airway inflammation in asthma remains unknown.MethodsHuman-induced sputum cells were collected from healthy participants (n = 12), patients with mild-to-moderate asthma (n = 34), and those with severe asthma (n = 18). In vitro human lung bronchial 1 epithelial cell line (BEAS-2B) was transfected with small interfering RNA against MUC1 (MUC1-siRNA) and then stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), where some cells were pretreated with a TLR4 inhibitor (TAK-242). In vivo mouse model of asthmatic neutrophil airway inflammation was induced by ovalbumin (OVA)/LPS. Some groups were intraperitoneally injected with MUC1-CT inhibitor (GO-203) and/or TAK-242 .ResultsThe mRNA expression of MUC1 was downregulated in the induced sputum of patients with asthma and correlated with asthmatic neutrophilic airway inflammation. The mRNA expressions of TLR4, MyD88, nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3), caspase-1, interleukin (IL)-18, and IL-1β in induced sputum cells of patients with asthma were upregulated and related to the mRNA expression of MUC1. LPS activated the TLR4 pathway and NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis in BEAS-2B cells in vitro, which were significantly aggravated after MUC1-siRNA transfection. Furthermore, MUCl-CT interacted with TLR4, and the interaction between TLR4 and MyD88 was significantly increased after MUCl-siRNA transfection. Moreover, TAK-242 ameliorated TLR4/MyD88/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) pathway activation, NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis, and neutrophilic inflammation exacerbated by MUC1 downregulation. GO-203 exacerbated TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway activation in vivo, and NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis reduced in a mouse model of asthmatic neutrophil airway inflammation induced by OVA/LPS; these pathological changes were partially alleviated after TAK-242 application.ConclusionThis study revealed that MUC1 downregulation plays an important role in asthmatic neutrophilic airway inflammation. MUC1-CT reduces NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis by inhibiting the activation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB pathway, thereby attenuating neutrophil airway inflammation in patients with asthma.

Project description:Rotavirus enteritis (RVE) is a common acute intestinal infectious disease caused by rotavirus infection. It is an important cause of death in children younger than 5 years worldwide. Shenling baizhu powder (SBP), a classic traditional Chinese formulation, is one of the most popularly prescribed medicines for digestive diseases. Clinical studies have revealed the protective effects of SBP on RVE. However, the potential mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the anti-rotavirus effect of SBP and its mechanism, focusing on the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway. Our results demonstrated that, based on the inhibition of the virus-induced cytopathic effect in Caco-2 cells, the concentration for 50% of maximal effect (EC50) and selectivity index (SI) of SBP for RV-SA11 in the serum were 5.911% and 11.63, respectively. A total of 219 active compounds with oral bioavailability ≥30% and drug-likeness ≥ 0.18 were selected from the 10 ingredients present in the formulation of SBP, which acted on 471 potential targets. A total of 226 target genes of RVE were obtained from the GeneCards database. The protein-protein interaction (PPI) network showed that there was a close interaction between 44 common targets of SBP and RVE. The results of Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis showed that SBP acted on RVE through various inflammatory pathways and the intestinal immune network. Subsequently, we investigated the effect of SBP on TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway in vitro. After infection with RV- SA11, the expression of TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB mRNA and protein increased significantly, which could be abolished by SBP treatment. In addition, the IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6, and IFN-β levels increased markedly in Caco-2 cells infected with RV-SV11. Treatment with SBP partly reversed the changes of IL-1β, TNF-α, and IL-6, while further increased the level of IFN-β. In conclusion, our study revealed that SBP can significantly inhibit rotavirus replication and proliferation in vitro. The antiviral effect may be related to the regulation of the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway, followed by the down regulation of inflammatory cytokines and up regulation of IFN-β induced by rotavirus.
