Bioactive constituents of Mosla chinensis-cv. Jiangxiangru ameliorate inflammation through MAPK signaling pathways and modify intestinal microbiota in DSS-induced colitis mice

BackgroundMosla chinensis Maxim. cv. Jiangxiangru (JXR), a traditional Chinese medicine, commonly used for the therapy of cold, fever, diarrhea, digestive disorders, and other diseases. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic disorder of the human gastrointestinal tract. Research about the effect of JXR on IBD and the active ingredient composition of JXR remains deficiency.PurposeThis study aims to determine the phytochemical composition and the anti-inflammatory property of JXR, as well as the possible anti-inflammatory mechanisms.MethodsThe bioactive profile of JXR extracts was determined by UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap-MS. A DSS induced colitis mouse model was applied to explore the anti-inflammatory activity of JXR. The body weight, colon length and histopathological status of colon tissue were evaluated. The content of inflammatory mediators (nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂)) and cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β)), corresponding mRNA and protein expression levels were analyzed. Oxidation pressure and gut microbial composition were also explored.ResultsTotally 63 constitutes were identified from JXR, among them, phenolic acids and flavonoids comprised a large part, and rosmarinic acid (RA) was the main compound. The results of DSS-induced colitis mice model indicated that JXR effectively ameliorated inflammation, restore the redox balance in the gut. JXR treatment significantly reduced the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), increased the activity of antioxidative enzyme, suppressed the secretion of inflammatory mediators (NO, PGE₂) and cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β). JXR also restrained the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) signaling pathway. Furthermore, JXR could restore the microbial diversity by suppressing Bacteroidaceae, increasing Bifidobacteriales and Melainabacteria in DSS colitis mouse model.ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that JXR composed with various bioactive compounds, effectively ameliorated colitis, restored the redox balance and regulated gut microbiota. Results from the present study provide an insight of therapeutic potential of JXR in IBD based on its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, also provide a scientific basis for using JXR as a functional ingredient to promote colon health.     

Anti-arthritogenic effect of Saponin-1 by alteration of Th1/Th2 cytokine paradigm in arthritic mice

Objective & designInvestigation was carried out on Saponin 1 (SAP-1), a novel molecule isolated from Parthenium hysterophorus, on proinflammatory (Th1) & anti-inflammatory (Th2) cytokines in blood of arthritic balb/c mice.MethodsAdjuvant induced developing inflammatory arthritis was induced in mice which were treated with SAP-1 in graded oral doses. The molecular markers were determined using Flow Cytometry which uses sensitivity of amplified fluorescence detection to measure soluble analytes in particle based immune assay. The T-helper (Th1) deviated cells produce detectable level of Tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha), interleukin-2 (IL-2) & interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), while the Th2 deviated cells produce significant amount of interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-5 (IL-5).ResultsSAP-1 at graded oral doses inhibited expression of IFN-gamma & TNF-alpha in serum & correspondingly increased expression of IL-4 significantly. SAP-1 also inhibited IL-17 and CD4⁺CD25⁺ cell population showing to have suppressive effect on Th-17 pathway as well as T-regulatory cells. It also suppressed the increased levels of pro-inflammatory mediators like IL-1β and NO. Inhibitors of Cox-2 and MCP-1 provide effective improvements in signs and symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis. SAP-1 decreased the elevated concentration of both COX-2 and MCP-1 in arthritic animals.ConclusionsSAP-1 diminishes Th1 immunity activation, a primary cause of arthritis, in favour of Th2 dominance, which reduces arthritic condition in mice displaying immune-modulatory potential.

Anti-Inflammatory Activities of Methanol Extract of Mastixia arborea C.B. Clarke as to Mouse Macrophage and Paw Edema

The biological activity of Mastixia arborea (MA) relates to inflammation, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. We confirmed the anti-inflammatory effects of a methanol extract of MA extract on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 mouse macrophage cells and carrageenan-induced mice paw edema. The MA extract significantly inhibited nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and IL-6 production in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. In vitro expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) was suppressed by the extract. The extract attenuated acute inflammatory responses in carrageenan-induced mice paw edema. A mechanism study indicated that translocation of the NF-κB (p65) subunit into the nucleus and phosphorylation of ERK and JNK were inhibited by the extract. These results indicate that the extract is an effective suppressor of the inflammatory response, blocking the phosphorylation of ERK and JNK and the translocation of NF-κB in macrophages, thereby producing an anti-inflammatory effect in vivo.     

Salvianolic acid A alleviated inflammatory response mediated by microglia through inhibiting the activation of TLR2/4 in acute cerebral ischemia-reperfusion

BackgroundToll-like receptor 2 and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR2/4) on microglia have been found as important regulators in the inflammatory response during cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). In China, traditional Chinese medicine Salvia miltiorrhiza (danshen) and its some components are considered to be effective in rescuing cerebral I/R injury through clinical practice.Hypothesis/PurposeHere we examined the effect of Salvianolic acid A (SAA), a monomer compound in the water extract of Salvia miltiorrhiza, on TLR2/4 of microglia and its mediated inflammatory injury during cerebral I/R in vivo and in vitro.Study DesignFor exploring the effect of SAA on cerebral I/R and TLR2/4, classic middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model and oxygen glucose deprivation / reoxygenation (OGD/R) model of co-culture with primary hippocampal neurons and microglia in vitro were used. Signal pathway research and gene knockout have been applied to further explain its mechanism.MethodsThe evaluation indexes of I/R injury included infarct size, edema degree and pathology as well as primary hippocampal neurons and microglia culture, ELISA, western, RT-PCR, HE staining, immunofluorescence, flow cytometry, siRNA gene knockout were also employed.ResultsSAA significantly improved the degree of brain edema and ischemic area in I/R rats accompanied by decreases in levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α). Pathological staining revealed that SAA could reduce inflammatory cell infiltration and mcirogila activation after reperfusion. Both protein and gene expression of TLR2 and TLR4 in ischemic hemisphere were obviously inhibited by SAA treatment while changes were not found in the non-ischemic hemisphere. In order to further study its mechanism, OGD/R model was used to mimic inflammatory damage of ischemic tissue by co-culturing primary rat hippocampal neurons and microglial cells. It was found that SAA also inhibited the protein and gene expression of TLR2 and TLR4 after OGD/R injury in microglia. After TLR2/4 knockout, the inhibitory effect of SAA on IL-1β and TNF-α levels in cell supernatant and neuron apoptosis were significantly weakened in each dose group. Moreover, expression levels of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), NFκB, IL-1β and IL-6 in TLR2/4 mediated inflammatory pathway were reduced with SAA treatment.ConclusionSAA could significantly reduce the inflammatory response and injury in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in vivo and in vitro, and its mechanism may be through the inhibition of TLR2/4 and its related signal pathway.     

Sex Differences in the Association of Adiponectin and Low-Grade Inflammation With Changes in the Body Mass Index From Youth to Middle Age

BackgroundThere are sex differences in low-grade inflammation markers in obesity-related disorders. Little is known, however, about a possible sex-specific association of relative weight change from youth to adulthood with actual low-grade inflammation.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to identify possible sex differences in adiponectin, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-1Ra (IL-1Ra), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels with respect to the relative change in body mass index (BMI) from youth to middle age.MethodsThe study population consisted of 403 men and 500 women from 1 Finnish town. Weight, height, and adiponectin, IL-1β, IL-1Ra, and hs-CRP levels were measured in 2003 at a mean age of 46 years. Self-reported weight at the age of 20 years was recorded.ResultsIn women, even after adjustment for BMI in adulthood, a statistically significantly negative linear association was observed between the quartiles of relative change in BMI and adiponectin levels (P < 0.001 for linearity). Significantly positive linear associations were also observed between the change in BMI and IL-1Ra (P = 0.032 for linearity) and hs-CRP (P = 0.029 for linearity) levels. In men, there was no statistically significant association among the quartiles of relative change in BMI and measured inflammatory markers after adjustment for BMI in adulthood.ConclusionsA relative increase in weight may be more harmful in women than in men with respect to adiponectin and inflammatory markers.     

Physical activity and alpha-lipoic acid modulate inflammatory response through changes in thiol redox status

α-Lipoic acid (αLA), as an inductor of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and nitrogen oxide (NO) generation and modulator of thiol redox status, plays an important role in cell signalling pathways. The study was designed to observe the effect of αLA on inflammatory response through changes in H₂O₂ and NO levels as well as thiol redox status. Sixteen physically active males were randomly assigned to one of two groups: placebo or αLA (1,200 mg?d^?1 for 10 days prior to exercise). The exercise trial involved a 90-min run at 65 % VO₂max (0 % gradient) followed by 15-min eccentric phase at 65 % VO₂max (?10 % gradient). Blood samples were collected before the exercise trial and then again 20 min, 24, and 48 h after. αLA significantly elevated H₂O₂ but reduced NO generation before or after exercise. Thiol redox status (GSH_total-2GSSG/GSSG) increased by >50 % after αLA and exercise (ANOVA, P?<?0.05) and correlated with changes in cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6) (r?=??0.478, P?<?0.05) and IL-10 (r?=??0.455, P?<?0.05). This was caused by strong effect of αLA on GSSG concentration. αLA elevated IL-6 and IL-10 levels at 20 min after exercise and decreased in interleukin-1β and tumor necrosis factor α before and after exercise. This enhanced the regeneration of injured muscles. Creatine kinase activity tended to lower values after αLA intake. The study suggests that the combination of intense exercise with α-lipoic acid intake might be useful to improve the skeletal muscle regeneration through changes in inflammatory response which are associated with H₂O₂ and NO generation as well as thiol redox status.
