Anti-inflammatory and anti-invasive effects of methanol extract of Polyopes lancifolius by suppression of the NFκB pathway
- Abstract
- Purpose: This study aimed to identify the anti-inflammatory and anti-invasive effects of a methanol extract of Polyopeslancifolius(MEPL)inlipopolysaccharide(LPS)-stimulatedBV2microgliacells.
Methods: We investigated the expression of mRNA and protein using RT-PCR and western blot analysis in LPSstimulated BV2 microglial cells. Level of nitric oxide (NO) production was analyzed using Griess reaction. The release of prostaglandin E2(PGE2)andtumornecrosisfactor-α(TNF-α)weredeterminedusingsandwichELISA.NF-κBactivationwasdetectedusingEMSAmethods.
Results: We found that MEPL significantly suppressed NO production in LPS-stimulated BV2 cells without any cytotoxicity. Our results also indicated that MEPL decreased the production of PGE2andTNF-αinLPS-stimulatedBV2cells.Furthermore,pretreatmentwithMEPLresultedinadownregulationofLPS-inducedmRNAandproteinexpressionofinducibleNOsynthase(iNOS),cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2),andTNF-α. Therefore, we investigated the effects of MEPL on nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activity, which is a potential transcriptional factor for regulating inflammatory genes such as iNOS, COX-2, and TNF-α. Our data showed that MEPL substantially inhibited the LPS-induced DNA-binding activity of NF-κB. MEPL also suppressed the LPS-induced degradation and phosphorylation of IκBα, and it consequently blocked p65 translocation from the cytosol to the nucleus.
Conclusion: These data show that MEPL may regulate LPS-induced NO, PGE2, andTNF αproductionbysuppressingNF-κB activity.
