Bitter melon is widely used as a food and a traditional herbal medicine for the treatment of diabetes; it also possesses antioxidant, anti-tumour, anti-bacterial, anti-obesity, and anti-hypertension activities. The aim of this work was to study the in vitro anti-inflammatory effects of different solvent extracts of the seeds and fruits of new varieties of bitter melon. Of the 30 bitter melon extracts tested, the ethyl acetate extract of the fruit of Momordica charantia MDS72 (EAEF-MCMDS72) exhibited the strongest anti-inflammatory activity. EAEF-MCMDS72 significantly inhibited the production of NO, IL-6, PGE2, TNF-α, and MCP-1 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW 264.7 cells. The expression levels of the iNOS and COX-2 proteins in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells were inhibited by EAEF-MCMDS72. Real-time RT-PCR analysis indicated that the mRNA expression levels of iNOS, COX-2, IL-6, and TNF-α were suppressed by EAEF-MCMDS72. Moreover, four known triterpene compounds including (23E)-cucurbita-5,23,25-triene-3β,7β-diol (1), (23E)-25-methoxycucurbit-23-ene-3β,7β-diol (2), (23E)-5β,19-epoxycucurbita-6,23-diene-3β,25-diol (3), and 3,7-dioxo-23,24,25,26,27-pentanorcucurbit-5-en-22-oic acid (4) were isolated from the fruit of M. charantia MDS72. Compounds 2, 3, 4 suppressed the LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, the present study may contribute to our understanding of the anti-inflammatory effects of EAEF-MCMDS72 and its triterpene compounds.  相似文献

In our previous work, Asterina pectinifera was fermented with Cordyceps militaris mycelia to improve its bioactivities and was reported to have strong antioxidant activities. The aim of the current study was to investigate its anti-inflammatory effect and mechanisms of action. In this study, we observed the inhibitory effect of the extract from fermented A. pectinifera with C. militaris mycelia (FACM) on nitric oxide (NO) production and its molecular mechanism in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. FACM could decrease LPS-induced NO production. Western blot analysis showed that FACM could down-regulate LPS-induced expression of inducible NO synthase without affecting cyclooxygenase-2. Moreover, FACM exhibited anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-induced RAW264.7 mouse macrophage cells through proinflammatory mediators including TNF-α and IL-6 via nuclear factor kappa B pathway. FACM inhibited LPS-induced phosphorylation of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase expression. Our results suggest that FACM may be a potential candidate for inflammation therapy by attenuating the generation of cytokines, production of NO, and generation of ROS in RAW264.7 cells.  相似文献

Chrysanthemum zawadskii var. latilobum (CZ) has been widely used as a tea in Korea. In this study, we investigated the involvement of anti-inflammatory haem oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in the inhibitory activity of a CZ leaf extracts on nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. At the highest concentration of CZ leaf extract (50 μg/mL), NO production was 10% of that in LPS-stimulated macrophages, whereas iNOS protein expression was 5% of that in LPS-stimulated macrophages. CZ leaf extract also inhibited iNOS mRNA expression in a concentration-dependant manner, and at 50 μg/mL, iNOS mRNA expression was approximately 15% of that in LPS-stimulated cells. The CZ leaf extract induced HO-1 expression in a dose-dependent manner, and blocking HO-1 activity abolished the anti-inflammatory effect of CZ leaf extract. These results suggest that CZ leaf extract has a potent anti-inflammatory activity in RAW264.7 cells through the induction of HO-1.  相似文献

为研究酱香型白酒中吡嗪类物质的体外抗炎活性及其作用机制,采用脂多糖(LPS)诱导RAW264.7细胞建立炎症模型,并通过酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)测定细胞上清液中一氧化氮(NO)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)及肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)的含量,进而检测诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)、环氧化酶-2(COX-2)、血红素氧合酶-1(HO-1)、白细胞介素-1(IL-1)、IL-6、TNF-α的信使核糖核酸(mRNA)的表达及对花生四烯酸代谢通路中与生成前列腺素E2(PGE2)有关的关键酶的影响。结果表明,2,3,5-三甲基吡嗪(BQ-5)可抑制细胞上清液中NO上升,抑制磷脂酶A2(PLA2)及COX-2活性,下调LPS诱导的iNOS、COX-2、IL-1、IL-6及TNF-α的mRNA的表达。由此可见,酱香型白酒中含有的吡嗪类物质具有一定的抗炎活性,其中BQ-5可减少炎症介质(IL-1、IL-6、TNF-α)的表达,抑制iNOS基因的表达从而抑制NO的产生,抑制花生四烯酸代谢途径中PGE2合成的关键酶而发挥抗炎作用。  相似文献

Many reports suggest that phloretin and phlorizin have antioxidant properties and can inhibit glucose transportation, the anti-inflammatory effects and mechanism of phloretin and phlorizin remain unclear. This study aims to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of phloretin and phlorizin in LPS-stimulated murine RAW264.7 macrophages. RAW264.7 cells were pretreated with various concentrations of phloretin or phlorizin (3–100 μM) and cell inflammatory responses were induced with LPS. Pretreated with 10 μM phloretin significantly inhibited the levels of NO, PGE2, IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS and COX-2. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that phloretin suppressed the nuclear translocation of NF-κB subunit p65 proteins, and decreased phosphorylation in MAPK pathways. Surprisingly, phlorizin did not suppress the inflammatory response in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. These results suggest that phloretin has an anti-inflammatory effect that reduces levels of proinflammatory cytokines and mediators in RAW264.7 cells.  相似文献

We investigated the anti-inflammatory effect of the hexane fraction from Orostachys japonicus (OJH) in LPS (lipopolysaccharide)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Pretreatment with OJH dose-dependently reduced the cellular NO (nitric oxide) concentration and also inhibited expression of iNOS (inducible nitric oxide synthase) protein and mRNA. By the prevention of IκBα (inhibitory factor kappa B alpha) phosphorylation and degradation, OJH inhibited LPS-induced NF-κB (nuclear factor-kappa B) activation. OJH had no effect on the LPS-induced phosphorylation of ERK (extracellular signal-regulated kinase), JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase), or p38, whereas it attenuated the phosphorylation of Akt in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, OJH suppressed the LPS-induced expression of LPS receptors CD14 and TLR4 (toll like receptor 4). These results suggest that OJH may interrupt LPS-induced pro-inflammatory cascades through inhibition of NF-κB and Akt activation.  相似文献

Aim of the study is to evaluate the antiinflammatory effects of ethanolic extract of the marine brown alga Sargassum sagamianum collected from Yeonhwari coast of Korea. Ethanolic extract of S. sagamianum (SA-E extract) inhibited expression of nitric oxide (NO) and cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α) as well as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells without affecting cell viability. In addition, the expression of nuclear factor (NF)-κB p65 was suppressed by SA-E extract. Furthermore, the rate of formation of edema in the mouse ear was reduced by 46% at the highest dose tested (250 mg/kg) compared to that in the control. This study suggests that SA-E extract exerts potent inhibitory effects on LPS-induced expression of inflammatory mediators such as NO, iNOS, COX-2, and cytokines in macrophages through suppression of the NF-κB p65 pathway. SA-E extract might have potential clinical applications as an anti-inflammatory agent.  相似文献

本实验在体外应用脂多糖(lipopolysaccharides,LPS)诱导小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞建立炎症模型的基础上,探讨沙葱总黄酮水洗组分的体外抗炎活性。应用CCK-8法检测0、50、100、200、400、800 μg/mL沙葱总黄酮水洗组分对小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞增殖活力的影响;将细胞分为空白对照组、LPS应激模型组及不同质量浓度沙葱总黄酮水洗组分预处理组,采用Griess法及酶联免疫吸附测定法分别测定各处理组细胞上清液中NO浓度和肿瘤坏死因子-α(tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α)、白细胞介素(interleukin,IL)-1β、IL-6、IL-10的质量浓度,反转录实时荧光定量聚合酶链式反应法检测各处理组细胞中诱导型一氧化氮合酶(inducible nitric oxide synthase,iNOS)、TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-6、IL-10、髓样分化蛋白(myeloid differential protein,MyD)88、核因子 κB(nuclear factor κB,NF-κB)mRNA的表达水平。结果显示:与对照组相比,沙葱总黄酮水洗组分在50~800 μg/mL时对小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞无明显细胞毒性作用。与LPS应激模型组相比,沙葱总黄酮水洗组分能够极显著抑制促炎介质NO、TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-6质量浓度及其mRNA的表达(P<0.01或P<0.001);高度显著提高抗炎细胞因子IL-10质量浓度及其mRNA的表达(P<0.001),且呈剂量依赖效应;极显著降低MyD88、NF-κB mRNA的表达水平(P<0.01或P<0.001)。由此得出,沙葱总黄酮水洗组分对LPS诱导的小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞具有抗炎作用,其抗炎活性可能是通过抑制促炎性介质NO、TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-6的分泌并提高抗炎性细胞因子IL-10的质量浓度实现的,其作用机制可能与NF-κB信号通路有关。  相似文献

A novel lotus plumule polysaccharide (LPPS) was administered to non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice for 15 weeks to evaluate the protective effects of LPPS on type 1 diabetes. After the 15-week feeding experiment, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 expressions in the spleen, liver and kidney of the experimental mice were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction assay. The results showed that LPPS significantly (p < 0.05) decreased the absolute weights of the enlarged spleens in the NOD mice in a dose-dependent manner, inhibited pro-inflammatory TNF-α and IL-6 cytokine production and decreased the secretion ratio of IL-6/IL-10 in splenocyte cultures. LPPS markedly decreased the relative expression of pro-/anti-inflammatory cytokine genes (TNF-α/IL-10 and IL-6/IL-10) in the livers of NOD mice. Our results suggest that LPPS protected the spleen and liver from spontaneous inflammation in NOD mice by modulating pro-/anti-inflammatory cytokine gene expression.  相似文献

Blueberries (BB) have been reported to attenuate atherosclerosis in apoE-deficient (ApoE(-/-) ) mice. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of BB in reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production in mouse macrophages. ApoE(-/-) mice were fed AIN-93G diet (CD) or CD formulated to contain 1% freeze-dried BB for 5 wk. TNF-α and IL-6 were lower in serum of BB-fed mice and TNF-α expression in aorta was down-regulated with BB feeding. Protein level and mRNA expression of TNF-α and IL-6 were significantly lower in the peritoneal macrophages from mice fed BB without or with LPS or oxLDL stimulation. RAW264.7 macrophages were treated with polyphenol-enriched extracts made from the sera of rats fed CD (SEC) or CD containing 10% BB (SEB). SEB significantly inhibited LPS-induced mRNA expression and protein levels of TNF-α and IL-6. Furthermore, SEB inhibited the phosphorylation of IκB, NF-κB p65, MAPK p38 and JNK. All of these are important signaling pathways involved in the production of TNF-α and IL-6.  相似文献

Dichondra repens (DR) is the main constituent in herbal beverages and consumed daily as a nutrition supplement for the liver in Taiwan. This study investigated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of D. repens ethanol extract (EDR) and its reference compounds ex vivo and in vivo. Fingerprint chromatograms (from HPLC) indicated that EDR contained vanillin, umbelliferone and scopoletin. EDR was evaluated for its antioxidant effects and LPS-induced NO production in RAW 264.7 cells. EDR decreased the LPS-induced NO production and expressions of iNOS and COX-2 in RAW 264.7 cells. In vivo anti-inflammatory activities of EDR were assessed in mouse paw oedema, induced by λ-carrageenan (Carr). We investigate the antioxidant mechanism of EDR via studies of the activities of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in the liver and the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitrite oxide (NO) in the oedematous paw. Serum NO and TNF-α were also measured. EDR exerts anti-inflammatory effects by suppressing TNF-α, NO, and might be related to the decrement of the level of MDA in the oedema paw via increasing the activities of CAT, SOD and GPx in the liver. The results show that EDR might be a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.  相似文献

Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic activities of standardised pomegranate rind extract (SPRE) containing 13% w/w ellagic acid were studied in vitro. The antibacterial activity of SPRE was determined using the disc diffusion and broth microdilution methods. SPRE exhibited a potent bacteriostatic effect against Propionibacterium acnes, a Gram-positive anaerobe, with a MIC of 15.6 μg/ml, and Gram-positive facultative anaerobic bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, with MICs of 7.8–15.6 μg/ml. Anti-inflammatory activity of SPRE was evaluated by measuring the inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production by murine macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells. SPRE exhibited a potent NO inhibitory effect, with an IC50 of 10.7 μg/ml. Evaluation of the anti-allergic activity showed that SPRE inhibited the release of β-hexosaminidase from antigen-stimulated rat basophilic leukemia (RBL-2H3) cells with an IC50 of 20.9 μg/ml. In addition, SPRE exhibited only moderate cytotoxicity on human keratinocyte cells, with CC50 of 33.6 μg/ml. These findings support the potential use of SPRE as a nutraceutical for antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic proposes.  相似文献

Anti-inflammation-guided fractionation and purification were used to evaluate the bioactivity and components of adlay (Coix lachryma-jobi L. var. ma-yuen Stapf) bran. Results showed that the fraction with high phenolic and flavonoid contents from the ethanol extracts of adlay bran suppressed LPS-stimulated IL-6 and TNF-α secretions in a concentration-dependent manner in RAW 264.7 cells and murine peritoneal macrophages. Fifteen compounds, including a novel aurone derivative, two chromones, one dihydrochalcone, one chalcone, four flavanones, five flavones and one isoflavone, were isolated from the active fraction. The structure of the new compound was elucidated by spectroscopic methods, including 1D and 2D NMR and MS. All of the isolates are reported for the first time from adlay except naringenin. LC/MS was also provided as an analytical platform. Our results suggest that flavonoids in adlay bran, partially at least, contribute to its anti-inflammatory effect. Thus, adlay bran may be beneficial to the health of consumers.  相似文献

Colitis severely affects the quality of life of patients, and lactic acid bacteria have been reported to be able to improve or treat colitis. In this study, we selected a strain of Lactobacillus fermentum (CQPC04) with good resistance in vitro to evaluate its effect on improvement in mice with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)–induced colitis. We analyzed the effects of L. fermentum CQPC04 on mice with colitis macroscopically via colon length and histopathology. We also used conventional biochemical and ELISA kits, real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), and Western blotting to analyze microscopically the effects of L. fermentum CQPC04 on related oxidant indices and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines in serum and colon tissue of mice. The results indicated that L. fermentum CQPC04 notably increased colon length and ameliorated pathological damage of colon tissue in colitic mice. Serum indices showed that L. fermentum CQPC04 increased the enzyme activity of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) and catalase (CAT) and decreased the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and the activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO). In addition, it inhibited the release of the pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-12, and increased the release of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in serum. The RT-qPCR experiments confirmed that L. fermentum CQPC04 downregulated the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokine nuclear factor-κB-p65 (NF-κBp65), NF-κB inhibitor-α (IκB-α), TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-6, cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and upregulated the expression of IL-10 in colon tissue. Western blot analysis indicated that L. fermentum CQPC04 significantly reduced expression of NF-κBp65, TNF-α, IL-1β, COX-2, and iNOS in mouse colon tissues, and increased expression of IκB-α and superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2). Thus, L. fermentum CQPC04 could effectively alleviate the symptoms of DSS-induced colitis mice and is a potential probiotic for human experiments.  相似文献
