Anthocyanin-rich fractions from red raspberries attenuate inflammation in both RAW264.7 macrophages and a mouse model of colitis.

ABSTRACT: Edible berries have a broad spectrum of biomedical functions, including improving immune responses and reducing risk for chronic diseases. In this study, the anti-inflammatory activities of crude extracts (CEs), anthocyanin-rich fractions (ARFs), and des-anthocyanin fractions (DAFs) from seven berries were evaluated based on their inhibitory effects on nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/IFN-?-activated RAW264.7 macrophages. ARFs from red raspberries (RR-ARFs) exhibited the highest efficiency in suppressing NO synthesis. The anti-inflammatory properties were also demonstrated by reducing the expression levels of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1?) and IL-6 in RAW264.7 cells. The luciferase reporter assay demonstrated that the activities of NF-?B and AP-1 signaling pathways were significantly suppressed by RR-ARFs. Further studies showed that RR-ARFs decreased the phosphorylation of IKK, I?B?, p65 and JNK and the nuclear translocation of p65 in LPS/IFN-?-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. In a mouse colitis model, dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced weight loss and histological damage were significantly ameliorated by RR-ARFs treatment. Taken together, our results indicate that RR-ARFs attenuate inflammation both in vitro and in vivo primarily by inhibiting the activation of NF-?B and MAPKs. The anti-inflammatory of RR-ARFs could be harnessed and applied in animal agriculture, drug and food industries.

Project description:A modified mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation is a highly effective and precise treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), with a significant curative effect. Thus, we aim to examine the efficacy of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α-overexpressing MSC (HIF-MSC) transplantation in experimental colitis and investigate the immunity regulation mechanisms of HIF-MSC through macrophages. A chronic experimental colitis mouse model was established using 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid. HIF-MSC transplantation significantly attenuated colitis in weight loss rate, disease activity index (DAI), colon length, and pathology score and effectively rebuilt the local and systemic immune balance. Macrophage depletion significantly impaired the benefits of HIF-MSCs on mice with colitis. Immunofluorescence analysis revealed that HIF-MSCs significantly decreased the number of M1-like macrophages and increased the number of M2-like macrophages in colon tissues. In vitro, co-culturing with HIF-MSCs significantly decreased the expression of pro-inflammatory factors, C-C chemokine receptor 7 (CCR-7), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (INOS) and increased the expression of anti-inflammatory factors and arginase I (Arg-1) in induced M1-like macrophages. Flow cytometry revealed that co-culturing with HIF-MSCs led to a decrease in the proportions of M1-like macrophages and an increase in that of M2-like macrophages. HIF-MSCs treatment notably upregulated the expression of downstream molecular targets of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-γ (PI3K-γ), including HIF-1α and p-AKT/AKT in the colon tissue. A selected PI3K-γ inhibitor, IPI549, attenuated these effects, as well as the effect on M2-like macrophage polarization and inflammatory cytokines in colitis mice. In vitro, HIF-MSCs notably upregulated the expression of C/EBPβ and AKT1/AKT2, and PI3K-γ inhibition blocked this effect. Modified MSCs stably overexpressed HIF-1α, which effectively regulated macrophage polarization through PI3K-γ. HIF-MSC transplantation may be a potentially effective precision therapy for IBD.
