Immunostimulatory effect of dried bonito extract on mouse macrophage cell lines and mouse primary peritoneal macrophages.

ABSTRACT: Dried bonito is a preserved food used in Japan, which contains abundant flavor ingredients and functional substances. We focused on the immunostimulatory effect of dried bonito extract (DBE) on mouse macrophage-like J774.1 cells, RAW264.7 cells, and mouse primary peritoneal macrophages. DBE significantly stimulated the production of tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) by both J774.1 cells and peritoneal macrophages by enhancing the cytokine gene expression levels. In addition, DBE stimulated nitric oxide production by enhancing the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase in RAW264.7 cells. DBE also increased the phagocytosis activity of J774.1 cells. Immunoblot analysis revealed that DBE has an immunostimulatory effect on macrophages through activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase and nuclear factor-?B cascades. TNF-? production enhanced by DBE was partially inhibited by treatment with TLR4 inhibitor TAK-242, whereas IL-6 production enhanced by DBE was almost inhibited. These results suggested that DBE is thought to strongly stimulate the TLR4 signaling pathway for macrophage activation, and its activation is also involved in other signaling. Finally, the phagocytosis activity of peritoneal macrophages from DBE-administered BALB/c mice increased significantly, suggesting that DBE has the potential to stimulate macrophage activity in vivo. In conclusion, these data indicated that DBE contributes to activating host defense against pathogens by activating innate immunity.

We focused on the immunostimulatory effect of dried bonito extract (DBE) on mouse macrophage-like J774.1 cells, RAW264.7 cells, and mouse primary peritoneal macrophages. DBE significantly stimulated the production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) by both J774.1 cells and peritoneal macrophages by enhancing the cytokine gene expression levels.

Project description:Chronic inflammation is crucial in developing insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Previous studies have shown that a leaf extract of Eucalyptus tereticornis, with ursolic acid (UA), oleanolic acid (OA), and ursolic acid lactone (UAL) as the main molecules (78 %) mixed with unknown minor metabolites (22 %), provided superior anti-inflammatory, hypoglycemic, and hypolipidemic effects than reconstituted triterpenoid mixtures in macrophage cell lines and a pre-diabetic mouse model. Further identification of the molecular mechanisms of action of this mixture of triterpenes is required. This study aims to analyse the RNA expression profiles of mouse and human macrophage cell lines treated with the natural extract and its components. Activated macrophage cell lines were treated with the natural extract, UA, OA, UAL or a triterpene mixture (M1). RNA was extracted and sequenced using the DNBseq platform and the EnrichR software to perform gene enrichment analysis using the Gene Ontology database, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes, and Reactome. To conduct clustering analysis, we standardised the normalised counts of each gene and applied k-means clustering. The combination of molecules in the natural extract has an additive or synergic effect that affects the expression of up-regulated genes by macrophage activation. Triterpenes (M1) regulated 76 % of human and 68 % of mouse genes, while uncharacterised minority molecules could regulate 24 % of human and 32 % of mouse genes. The extract inhibited the expression of many cytokines (IL6, IL1, OSM), chemokines (CXCL3), inflammatory mediators (MMP8 and MMP13) and the JAK-STAT signalling pathway in both models. The natural extract has a more powerful immunomodulatory effect than the triterpene mixture, increasing the number of genes regulated in mouse and human models. Our study shows that Eucalyptus tereticornis extract is a promising option for breaking the link between inflammation and insulin resistance.
