Luteolin attenuates hepatic and adipocyte fibrosis and insulin resistance by targeting toll-like receptors signaling pathway in diet-induced obese mice

ABSTRACT: The flavonoid luteolin possess a variety of anti-inflammatory properties, but little has known about the detailed mechanisms linked to the anti-metabolic syndrome action of luteolin based on the integration of the transcriptional profile and the phenotype biomarkers. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective role of luteolin on inflammation-mediated metabolic diseases, focusing on its role in modulating toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling pathway triggered up-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Above all, it provides novel insights into the effect of luteolin on the link among adiposopathy, insulin resistance, hepatic steatosis and fibrosis. C57BL/6J mice were fed a normal, high-fat, and high-fat + 0.005% (w/w) luteolin diet for 16 weeks. In this study, (a) luteolin treatment resulted in an improvement in chronic low-grade inflammation by modulating TLR-signaling pathway resulting in reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines and macrophage accumulation; (b) there is a positive relationship of TLR5, MKK4/7, p38 and JNK-related gene expressions and lipogenesis in luteolin-treated obese mice, which is linked to an attenuation of hepatic lipotoxicity with an increased hepatic anti-oxidant system; (c) luteolin prevented hepatic and adipocyte fibrosis by decreasing ECM accumulation and cathepsin gene expressions; (d) Emr1 and Ccl7 genes, important markers inducing low-grade inflammation, are affected by advancing age as well as body weight, and luteolin treatment normalized those gene expressions; (e) luteolin treatment improved insulin resistance by normalizing pancreatic islet dysfunction, and differentially modulating the plasma GLP-1 and GIP levels. Taken together, luteolin ameliorates the deleterious effects of diet-induced obesity and its comorbidity.

Project description:Inflammatory response plays a bidirectional regulatory role in myocardial infarction (MI). TLR signaling pathway plays an important role in the development of inflammation. Additionally, we discovered that CCRR is an anti-arrhythmic lncRNA in a prior work. Here we show, it is decreased in mice with 3-day MI followed by a sharp increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines and activation of the TLR pathway. Overexpression of CCRR could effectively inhibit the inflammatory response, reduce the infarct area, and improve cardiac function. And also reduced hypoxia-induced inflammation in cardiomyocytes and macrophages induced by IFN and LPS. It produced a similar protective effect in cardiomyocytes co-cultured with macrophages. Through microarray analysis, RNA-binding protein immunoprecipitation analysis, and other related experiments verification, TLR2 and TLR4 may be as potential targets of CCRR after MI. Our findings provide the evidence that lncRNA CCRR plays a key cardioprotective role against MI injury by targeting the TLR signaling pathway. nflammatory response plays a bidirectional regulatory role in myocardial infarction (MI).

Project description:Dunster2014 - WBC Interactions (Model1) This is a sub-model of a three-step inflammatory response modelling study. The model includes distinct populations of white blood cells namely, macrophages and active and apoptotic neutrophil populations. Neutrophil apoptosis rate is predicted to be crucial for the qualitative nature of the system. This model is described in the article: The resolution of inflammation: a mathematical model of neutrophil and macrophage interactions. Dunster JL, Byrne HM, King JR. Bull. Math. Biol. 2014 Aug; 76(8): 1953-1980 Abstract: There is growing interest in inflammation due to its involvement in many diverse medical conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, cancer, arthritis and asthma. The traditional view that resolution of inflammation is a passive process is now being superceded by an alternative hypothesis whereby its resolution is an active, anti-inflammatory process that can be manipulated therapeutically. This shift in mindset has stimulated a resurgence of interest in the biological mechanisms by which inflammation resolves. The anti-inflammatory processes central to the resolution of inflammation revolve around macrophages and are closely related to pro-inflammatory processes mediated by neutrophils and their ability to damage healthy tissue. We develop a spatially averaged model of inflammation centring on its resolution, accounting for populations of neutrophils and macrophages and incorporating both pro- and anti-inflammatory processes. Our ordinary differential equation model exhibits two outcomes that we relate to healthy and unhealthy states. We use bifurcation analysis to investigate how variation in the system parameters affects its outcome. We find that therapeutic manipulation of the rate of macrophage phagocytosis can aid in resolving inflammation but success is critically dependent on the rate of neutrophil apoptosis. Indeed our model predicts that an effective treatment protocol would take a dual approach, targeting macrophage phagocytosis alongside neutrophil apoptosis.
