5,2'-dibromo-2,4',5'-trihydroxydiphenylmethanone attenuates LPS-induced inflammation and ROS production in EA.hy926 cells via HMBOX1 induction.

ABSTRACT: Inflammation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) are important factors in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (AS). 5,2'-dibromo-2,4',5'-trihydroxydiphenylmethanone (TDD), possess anti-atherogenic properties; however, its underlying mechanism of action remains unclear. Therefore, we sought to understand the therapeutic molecular mechanism of TDD in inflammatory response and oxidative stress in EA.hy926 cells. Microarray analysis revealed that the expression of homeobox containing 1 (HMBOX1) was dramatically upregulated in TDD-treated EA.hy926 cells. According to the gene ontology (GO) analysis of microarray data, TDD significantly influenced the response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS); it suppressed the LPS-induced adhesion of monocytes to EA.hy926 cells. Simultaneously, TDD dose-dependently inhibited the production or expression of IL-6, IL-1?, MCP-1, TNF-?, VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and E-selectin as well as ROS in LPS-stimulated EA.hy926 cells. HMBOX1 knockdown using RNA interference attenuated the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects of TDD. Furthermore, TDD inhibited LPS-induced NF-?B and MAPK activation in EA.hy926 cells, but this effect was abolished by HMBOX1 knockdown. Overall, these results demonstrate that TDD activates HMBOX1, which is an inducible protective mechanism that inhibits LPS-induced inflammation and ROS production in EA.hy926 cells by the subsequent inhibition of redox-sensitive NF-?B and MAPK activation. Our study suggested that TDD may be a potential novel agent for treating endothelial cells dysfunction in AS.

Project description:Acute inflammation (INF) and apoptosis are induced in monocytes by the generation of several factors, including the products of cytosolic oxygen free radicals (cROS) and the excessive influx of Ca2+ via the stimulation of TRPV1. These are main factors in the etiology of monocyte activation-induced inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. Importantly, the protective action of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) treatment via the inhibition of TRPV1 on the levels of inflammatory factors, cROS, and apoptosis in acute INF (lipopolysaccharide, LPS)-exposed neuronal cells was recently reported. However, the relationships between acute INF via TRPV1 activation and HCQ in monocytes have not been fully clarified yet. The cell membrane of U937 human monocytes contains natural TRPV1. In the study plan, we used U937 cells in four main groups, namely control, HCQ (60 μM for 48 h), INF (1 μg/mL LPS for 16 h), and HCQ + INF. The current data indicate that LPS-induced acute INF caused the upregulation of excessive cytosolic Ca2+ accumulation via the stimulation of TRPV1 in the cells. The treatment of INF additionally upregulated the levels of apoptosis and cytokines (IL6, IL1β, and TNFα), due to upregulated cROS and lipid peroxidation levels as well as upregulated generation of caspase -3 (CAS3) and -9 (CAS9) but a decrease in glutathione and glutathione peroxidase. The expression levels of TRPV1, Bax, CAS3, and CAS9 were also upregulated by the treatment of LPS. However, treatment with HCQ and TRPV1 blocker (capsazepine) modulated the levels of cytokines, caspases, cROS, Ca2+ influx, and apoptosis through the modulation of TRPV1 in the U937 that were stimulated with LPS. In summary, the present data suggest TRPV1 activation through the acute INF (LPS)-induced inflammatory, oxidant, and apoptotic adverse actions in monocyte cells, whereas HCQ prevented adverse actions via the modulation of TRPV1. The results may be significant in the modulation of monocyte activation-caused inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.

Project description:Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) can exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Acute lung injury (ALI) is associated with increased inflammation and influx of proinflammatory cells and mediators in the airspaces and lung parenchyma. In this study, we demonstrate that pterostilbene 4'-?-glucoside (4-PG), the glycosylated form of the antioxidant pterostilbene (PTER), can protect against lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) or Pseudomonas aeruginosa- (P. aeruginosa-) induced ALI when applied as a pretreatment or therapeutic post-treatment, via the induction of HO-1. To determine whether HO-1 mediates the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of 4-PG, we subjected mice genetically deficient in Hmox-1 to LPS-induced ALI and evaluated histological changes, HO-1 expression, and proinflammatory cytokine levels in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. 4-PG exhibited protective effects on LPS- or P. aeruginosa-induced ALI by ameliorating pathological changes in lung tissue and decreasing proinflammatory cytokines. In addition, HO-1 expression was significantly increased by 4-PG in cells and in mouse lung tissues. The glycosylated form of pterostilbene (4-PG) was more effective than PTER in inducing HO-1 expression. Genetic deletion of Hmox-1 abolished the protective effects of 4-PG against LPS-induced inflammatory responses. Furthermore, we found that 4-PG decreased both intracellular ROS levels and mitochondrial (mt) ROS production in a manner dependent on HO-1. Pharmacological application of the HO-1 reaction product carbon monoxide (CO), but not biliverdin or iron, conferred protection in Hmox-1-deficient macrophages. Taken together, these results demonstrate that 4-PG can increase HO-1 expression, which plays a critical role in ameliorating intracellular and mitochondrial ROS production, as well as in downregulating inflammatory responses induced by LPS. Therefore, these findings strongly suggest that HO-1 mediates the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of 4-PG.

Project description:The root bark of Illicium henryi has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat various diseases. Its ethanol extract (EEIH) was found to contain a large number of phenols and possess in vitro antioxidant activities. The present study aimed to investigate its protective effect against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) in mice. BALB/c mice were intraperitoneally pretreated with EEIH for five days, and then LPS injection was applied to induce AKI. Blood samples and kidney tissues were collected and used for histopathology, biochemical assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), and Western blot analyses. EEIH not only significantly dose-dependently attenuated histological damage and reduced renal myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity (from 9.77 ± 0.73 to 0.84 ± 0.30 U/g tissue) but also decreased serum creatinine (from 55.60 ± 2.70 to 27.20 ± 2.39 µmol/L) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) (from 29.95 ± 1.96 to 16.12 ± 1.24 mmol/L) levels in LPS-treated mice. EEIH also markedly dose-dependently inhibited mRNA expression and production of TNF-α (from 140.40 ± 5.15 to 84.74 ± 5.65 pg/mg), IL-1β (from 135.54 ± 8.20 to 77.15 ± 5.34 pg/mg), IL-6 (from 168.74 ± 7.23 to 119.16 ± 9.35 pg/mg), and COX-2 in renal tissue of LPS-treated mice via downregulating mRNA and protein expressions of toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and phosphorylation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65. Moreover, EEIH significantly dose-dependently reduced malondialdehyde (MDA) (from 5.43 ± 0.43 to 2.80 ± 0.25 nmol/mg prot) and NO (from 1.01 ± 0.05 to 0.24 ± 0.05 µmol/g prot) levels and increased superoxide dismutase (SOD) (from 22.32 ± 2.92 to 47.59 ± 3.79 U/mg prot) and glutathione (GSH) (from 6.57 ± 0.53 to 16.89 ± 0.68 µmol/g prot) levels in renal tissue induced by LPS through upregulating mRNA expression of nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2). Furthermore, EEIH inhibited LPS-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production from RAW264.7 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. These results suggest that EEIH has protective effects against AKI in mice through regulating inflammation and oxidative stress.
