IL-10 alleviates lipopolysaccharide-induced skin scarring via IL-10R/STAT3 axis regulating TLR4/NF-?B pathway in dermal fibroblasts.

ABSTRACT: Hypertrophic scar (HS) is a severe fibrotic skin disease. It has always been a major problem in clinical treatment, mainly because its pathogenesis has not been well understood. The roles of bacterial contamination and prolonged wound inflammation were considered significant. IL-10 is a potent anti-inflammatory cytokine and plays a pivotal role in wound healing and scar formation. Here, we investigate whether IL-10 alleviates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response and skin scarring and explore the possible mechanism of scar formation. Our results showed that the expression of TLR4 and pp65 was higher in HS and HS-derived fibroblasts (HSFs) than their counterpart normal skin (NS) and NS-derived fibroblasts (NSFs). LPS could up-regulate the expression of TLR4, pp65, Col I, Col III and ?-SMA in NSFs, but IL-10 could down-regulate their expression in both HSFs and LPS-induced NSFs. Blocking IL-10 receptor (IL-10R) or the phosphorylation of STAT3, their expression was up-regulated. In addition, in vitro and in vivo models results showed that IL-10 could alleviate LPS-induced fibroblast-populated collagen lattice (FPCL) contraction and scar formation. Therefore, IL-10 alleviates LPS-induced skin scarring via IL-10R/STAT3 axis regulating TLR4/NF-?B pathway in dermal fibroblasts by reducing ECM proteins deposition and the conversion of fibroblasts to myofibroblasts. Our results indicate that IL-10 can alleviate the LPS-induced harmful effect on wound healing, reduce scar contracture, scar formation and skin fibrosis. Therefore, the down-regulation of inflammation may lead to a suitable scar outcome and be a better option for improving scar quality.

Project description:BackgroundAtherosclerosis is a chronic degenerative disease of the arteries and is thought to be one of the most common causes of death globally. In recent years, the functions of adventitial fibroblasts in the development of atherosclerosis and tissue repair have gained increased interests. LPS can increase the morbidity and mortality of atherosclerosis-associated cardiovascular disease. Although LPS increases neointimal via TLR4 activation has been reported, how LPS augments atherogenesis through acting on adventitial fibroblasts is still unknown. Here we explored lipid deposition within adventitial fibroblasts mediated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to imitate inflammatory conditions.ResultsIn our study, LPS enhanced lipid deposition by the up-regulated expression of adipose differentiation-related protein (ADRP) as the silencing of ADRP abrogated lipid deposition in LPS-activated adventitial fibroblasts. In addition, pre-treatment with anti-Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) antibody diminished the LPS-induced lipid deposition and ADRP expression. Moreover, LPS induced translocation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), which could markedly up-regulate lipid deposition as pre-treatment with the NF-κB inhibitor, PDTC, significantly reduced lipid droplets. In addition, the lowering lipid accumulation was accompanied with the decreased ADRP expression. Furthermore, LPS-induced adventitial fibroblasts secreted more monocyte chemoattractant protein (MCP-1), compared with transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1).ConclusionsTaken together, these results suggest that LPS promotes lipid accumulation via the up-regulation of ADRP expression through TLR4 activated downstream of NF-κB in adventitial fibroblasts. Increased levels of MCP-1 released from LPS-activated adventitial fibroblasts and lipid accumulation may accelerate monocytes recruitment and lipid-laden macrophage foam cells formation. Here, our study provides a new explanation as to how bacterial infection contributes to the pathological process of atherosclerosis.

Project description:BackgroundPapaver nudicaule belongs to the Papaveraceae family, which is planted as an annual herbaceous species generally for ornamental purpose. Papaver rhoeas in the same family has been reported to have various pharmacological activities such as antioxidant and analgesic effects. In contrast, little is known about the pharmacological activity of Papaver nudicaule. In this study, the anti-inflammatory activity of Papaver nudicaule extracts and the action mechanisms were investigated in RAW264.7 macrophage cells.MethodsTo investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of five cultivars of Papaver nudicaule with different flower color, samples were collected from their aerial parts at two growth stages (60 and 90 days) and their ethanol extracts were evaluated in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW264.7 cells by measuring nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels. Interleukin 1-beta (IL-1β), Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) production were also analyzed by RT-PCR and multiplex assays. Nuclear Factor-kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathways were examined using western blotting and luciferase reporter assays to reveal the action mechanism of Papaver nudicaule extracts in their anti-inflammatory activity.ResultsAll of the Papaver nudicaule extracts were effective in reducing the LPS-induced NO, which is an important inflammatory mediator, and the extract of Papaver nudicaule with white flower collected at 90 days (NW90) was selected for further experiments because of the best effect on reducing the LPS-induced NO as well as no toxicity. NW90 lowered the LPS-induced PGE2 level and decreased the LPS-induced Nitric oxide synthase 2 (NOS2) and Cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2). In addition, NW90 reduced the LPS-induced inflammatory cytokines, IL-1β and IL-6. Furthermore, NW90 inhibited the LPS-induced activation of NF-κB and STAT3.ConclusionsThese results indicate that NW90 may restrain inflammation by inhibiting NF-κB and STAT3, suggesting the potential therapeutic properties of Papaver nudicaule against inflammatory disease.

Project description:Osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease. Long non‑coding RNA plasmacytoma variant translocation 1 (PVT1) is involved in the progression of osteoarthritis and exosomes serve a central role in intercellular communication. However, whether PVT1 can be mediated by exosomes in osteoarthritis has not been reported. Whole blood was drawn from osteoarthritis patients and healthy volunteers. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) was used to stimulate human normal chondrocytes (C28/I2) to construct a cell damage model in vitro. Protein levels were examined via western blot analysis. eThe expression of PVT1, microRNA (miR)‑93‑5p and high mobility groupprotein B1 (HMGB1) was evaluated through reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR. Cell viability and apoptosis were determined through CCK‑8 or flow cytometric assay. Inflammatory cytokines were measured via ELISA. The relationship between PVT1 or HMGB1 and miR‑93‑5p was confirmed by dual‑luciferase reporter assay. PVT1, HMGB1 and exosomal PVT1 were upregulated while miR‑93‑5p was downregulated in osteoarthritis patient serum and LPS‑induced C28/I2 cells. Exosomes from osteoarthritis patient serum and LPS‑treated C28/I2 cells increased PVT1 expression in C28/I2 cells. PVT1 depletion reversed the decrease of viability and the increase of apoptosis, inflammation responses and collagen degradation of C28/I2 cells induced by LPS. PVT1 regulated HMGB1 expression via sponging miR‑93‑5p. miR‑93‑5p inhibition abolished PVT1 silencing‑mediated viability, apoptosis, inflammation responses and collagen degradation of LPS‑stimulated C28/I2 cells. HMGB1 increase overturned miR‑93‑5p upregulation‑mediated viability, apoptosis, inflammation responses and collagen degradation of LPS‑stimulated C28/I2 cells. Furthermore, PVT1 modulated the Toll‑like receptor 4/NF‑κB pathway through an miR‑93‑5p/HMGB1 axis. In summary, exosome‑mediated PVT1 regulated LPS‑induced osteoarthritis progression by modulating the HMGB1/TLR4/NF‑κB pathway via miR‑93‑5p, providing a new route for possible osteoarthritis treatment.

Project description:Subacute rumen acidosis (SARA) will cause an increase in endotoxin, which will have a negative effect on the bovine rumen epithelial cells (BREC). Flavonoids are effective in treating inflammation caused by endotoxin. Quercetin is a vital flavonoid widely occurring in fruits and vegetables and has received significant interest as a prospective anti-inflammatory antioxidant. Nonetheless, quercetin's protective machinery against such damage to BREC induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) remains unclear. A combined quercetin and LPS-induced BREC inflammation model was utilized to elucidate the effect of quercetin protecting BREC from LPS-induced injury. After treating BREC with different doses of LPS (1, 5, and 10 μg/mL) for 6 h or 24 h, the mRNA expression of inflammatory factors was detected. Our experimental results show the establishment of the BREC inflammation model via mRNA high expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in BREC following 6 h treatment with 1 µg/mL LPS. The promotive effect of 80 μg/mL quercetin on BREC growth via the cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) assay was observed. The expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, notably tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), Interleukin 1β (IL-1β), IL-6, CC-motif chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), CCL20, CCL28, and CXC motif chemokine 9 (CXCL9), etc., was significantly reduced by quercetin supplementation. We also analyzed the mRNA detection of related pathways by qRT-PCR. Our validation studies demonstrated that quercetin markedly curbed the mRNA expression of the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and myeloid differentiation primary response protein (MyD88) and the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) in LPS-treated BREC. In addition, western blot result outcomes confirmed, as expected, that LPS significantly activated phosphorylation of p44/42 extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK1/2) and NF-κB. Unexpectedly, this effect was reversed by adding quercetin. To complement western blot results, we assessed p-ERK1/2 and p-p65 protein expression using immunofluorescence, which gave consistent results. Therefore, quercetin's capacity to bar the TLR4-mediated NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways may be the cause of its anti-inflammatory effects on LPS-induced inflammatory reactions in BREC. According to these results, quercetin may be utilized as an anti-inflammatory medication to alleviate inflammation brought on by high-grain feed, and it also lays out a conceptual foundation regarding the development and utilization of quercetin in the later stage.
