  • 본 연구에서는 아로니아 열매 추출물(AF-H)의 항염증 활성을 조사하기 위하여 LPS 자극에 의해 유도된 RAW 264.7 macrophage의 염증반응에서 AF-H의 염증매개인자 및 염증성 사이토카인 분비 억제활성과 이에 관련된 세포 내 작용기전 해석을 수행하였다. LPS($1{\mu}g/mL$)로 RAW 264.7 세포를 24시간 자극하는 염증모델에서 세포독성을 나타내지 않는 안전한 농도의 AF-H($0{\sim}500{\mu}g/mL$)를 LPS 처리 12시간 전에 처리하여 NO 및 PGE2의 분비 억제활성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 AF-H 처리에 의해 NO와 PGE2의 생성이 처리 농도에 의존하여 유의하게 억제되었으며, 이들 염증매개인자의 생합성 효소인 iNOS 및 COX-2의 세포 내 발현도 현저하게 억제되는 것으로 관찰되었다. 또한 AF-H의 처리에 의해 염증성 사이토카인인 $TNF-{\alpha}$와 IL-6의 분비도 유의하게 억제되는 것으로 확인하였다. 이러한 AF-H에 의한 항염증 활성의 세포 내 기전을 해석하기 위하여 LPS 자극에 의해 유도되는 MAPK와 $NF-{\kappa}B$ 전사인자의 활성화에 대한 억제 효과를 조사하였다. 그 결과 AF-H는 MAPK의 인산화에는 별다른 영향을 미치지 않고 $NF-{\kappa}B$의 활성화($I{\kappa}B$ 인산화)를 효과적으로 억제하는 것으로 확인되었다. 한편 LPS에 의한 in vivo 패혈증 모델에서 AF-H에 의한 패혈증 억제활성을 측정한 결과 비록 통계학적으로 유의하지는 않으나 AF-H 투여에 의해 생존율과 50% 사망률의 연장 효과가 관찰되었다. 이들 결과를 종합해 보면 아로니아 열매 열수추출물은 $NF-{\kappa}B$의 활성화 억제를 통해 NO, PGE2, $TNF-{\alpha}$ 및 IL-6 등의 염증매개인자와 사이토카인의 생성을 억제하는 항염증 활성을 지니는 것으로 확인되었다.

  • Since, side effects of antibiotics are frequently emphasized these days, their use is gradually diminishing, and alternative drugs are being developed. We have sought to reintroduce them as raw materials for human health as conventional 'weapons' that have been retired after their historical duties. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of lincomycin (LIN), on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Our findings show that LIN potently inhibited production of LPS-induced proinflammatory mediators, such as nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), without cytotoxicity. Consistent with these findings, LIN strongly decreased protein expression levels of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase (COX-2). Furthermore, LIN reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1β. To further elucidate the mechanisms of these inhibitory effects of LIN, we studied LPS-induced IκB-α degradation, and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphorylation. LIN suppressed downregulation of inhibitory κB (IκB-α) degradation, and the phosphorylation of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway. Based on these results, we suggest that LIN may be considered a potential candidate as an anti-inflammatory cosmetic or a medicine for human health.

  • KAI1/CD82, a membrane tetraspanin protein, can prevent various cancers and retinal disorders through its anti-angiogenic and anti-metastatic capacity. However, little is known about its anti-inflammatory effect and molecular mechanism. Therefore, the present study aimed to inLPSvestigate effect of a recombinant protein of the large extracellular domain of human KAI1 (Gly 111-Leu 228, rhKAI1) on lipopolysaccharides (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage-like cells and mouse bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) and to identify its underlying mechanism. Our data showed that rhKAI1 suppressed expression levels of classically macrophages (M1) phenotype-related surface markers F4/80+CD86+ in LPS-stimulated BMDM and RAW264.7 cells. In addition, LPS markedly increased mRNA expression and release levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and mediators such as interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, cyclooxygenase-2, nitric oxide and prostaglandin E2, whereas these increases were substantially down-regulated by rhKAI1. Furthermore, LPS strongly increased expression of NF-κB p65 in the nuclei and phosphorylation of ERK, JNK, and p38 MAPK. However, nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 and phosphorylation of JNK were greatly reversed in the presence of rhKAI1. Especially, rhKAI1 markedly suppressed expression of toll-like receptor (TLR4) and prevented binding of LPS with TLR4 through molecular docking predict analysis. Importantly, Glu 214 of rhKAI1 residue strongly interacted with Lys 360 of TLR4 residue, with a binding distance of 2.9 Å. Taken together, these findings suggest that rhKAI1 has an anti-inflammatory effect on LPS-polarized macrophages by interacting with TLR4 and down-regulating the JNK/NF-κB signaling pathway.

  • Hibiscus syriacus (H. syriacus) as the national flower of Korea has been used as the herbal medicine in Asia. In this study, we evaluated the anti-inflammatory effect of 70% ethanol extracts from the root of Hibiscus syriacus (RHS-E70) and elucidated the potential signaling pathway in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. RHS-E70 dose-dependently suppressed NO production by inhibiting iNOS and IL-${\beta}$ expression in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. RHS-E70 inhibited the phosphorylation and degradation of $I{\kappa}B-{\alpha}$, which contributed to the inhibition of p65 nuclear accumulation and NF-${\kappa}B$ activation. Furthermore, RHS-E70 suppressed the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and p38, which results in the inhibition of ATF2 phosphorylation and subsequent nuclear accumulation. These results indicate that RHS-E70 may exert anti-inflammatory activity by inhibiting NF-${\kappa}B$ and MAPK/ATF2 signaling. From these findings, RHS-E70 has potential to be a candidate for the development of chemopreventive or therapeutic agents for the inflammatory diseases.

  • Antioxidant 1 (ATOX1) protein has been reported to exhibit various protective functions, including antioxidant and chaperone. However, the effects of ATOX1 on the inflammatory response has not been fully elucidated. Thus, we prepared cell permeable Tat-ATOX1 and studied the effects on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- and 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation. Experimental results showed that transduced Tat-ATOX1 protein significantly suppressed LPS-induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Also, Tat-ATOX1 protein markedly inhibited LPS- and TPA-induced inflammatory responses by decreasing cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and further inhibited phosphorylation of mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPKs; JNK, ERK and p38) and the nuclear factor-kappaB ($NF-{\kappa}B$) signaling pathway. These results indicate that the Tat-ATOX1 protein has a pivotal role in inflammation via inhibition of inflammatory responses, suggesting Tat-ATOX1 protein may offer a therapeutic strategy for inflammation.

  • 본 연구에서는 LPS로 자극을 유도한 RAW 264.7 대식세포에서 지칭개 추출물의 항염증 효능을 알아보기 위해 이와 연관된 다양한 인자(NO, PGE2, IL-6, 및 TNF-α)와 MAPK 신호전달 경로에 대해서 조사하였다. 먼저HL 처리에 따른 세포 생존율에 대해 조사한 결과, HL을 농도별로 처리했을 때 저농도인 25 ㎍/mL에서부터 고농도인 100 ㎍/mL까지 모두 90% 이상의 생존율이 나타났으며, LPS를 처리한 RAW 264.7 대식세포에서도 90% 이상의 생존율을 나타내 실험에 사용된 HL의 농도가 RAW 264.7 대식세포에서 무독성임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 무독성 조건에서 HL의 항염증 활성을 확인하기 위하여 염증 매개체(inflammatory mediators)로 잘 알려진 NO와 PGE2의 생성 변화를 확인한 결과, LPS로 염증반응이 유도된 RAW 264.7 대식세포에서 NO와 PGE2의 생성이 농도 의존적으로 억제됨을 확인하였다. HL이 NO와 PGE2를 억제하는 항염증 효과가 있음을 관찰하였고, 이에 전 염증성 사이토카인 분비에도 유의성 있는 효과를 나타낼 것이라 판단되어 전 염증성 사이토카인(IL-6와 TNF-α)에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 조사하였다. HL은 LPS로 유도된 RAW 264.7 대식세포의 염증반응에서 IL-6의 생산을 유의적으로 억제함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 한편 다른 전 염증성 사이토카인인 TNF-α생산에는 아무 영향을 주지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 HL이 전 염증성 사이토카인 중 TNF-α조절에 관여하지 않고, IL-6 생성을 억제하여 염증 매개체의 생성을 억제한다고 추측할 수 있었다. HL이 NO, PGE2, 및 IL-6의 조절에 작용하는 메커니즘이 상위 시그널인 MAPK cascade의 억제를 통해 나타나는 효과인지 알아보기 위해 염증과 관련된 MAPK 시그널인 p38, ERK, 및 JNK의 발현 변화를 관찰하였다. HL은 p38과 ERK의 발현 활성화를 상당히 약화시켰지만 JNK는 p38과 ERK 보다 덜 민감하게 조절함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 LPS로 유도된 RAW 264.7 대식세포에서 HL은 MAPK 신호경로인 JNK 발현에 유의적인 영향을 주지 못해서 JNK와 관련된 TNF-α생산에 영향을 주지 못한 것으로 판단된다. 다른 MAPK 신호경로인 p38과 ERK의 발현을 약화시킴으로써 그 다음 기작인 IL-6, NO, 및 PGE2의 생산을 억제시켜 염증반응을 억제한 것으로 추측되어 진다. 이상의 결과를 종합해 보면 HL이 항염 활성을 가지고 있음을 확인할 수 있었으며, 이를 기반으로 HL의 MAPK 신호경로를 통한 염증성 사이토카인과 염증 매개체와의 연관성에 대한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있는 근거 자료가 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한, 다양한 경로를 통한 염증 조절 기전 연구는 추가적으로 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다.

  • In this study, powder of Orostachys japonicus A. Berger (O. japonicus) was extracted with 95% ethyl alcohol and fractionated using a series of organic solvents, including n-hexane (hexane), dichloromethane (DCM), ethylacetate (EtOAc), n-butanol (BuOH), and water ($H_2O$). We investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of these O. japonicus extracts on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Their effects on the expression of inflammatory mediators and transcription factors were analyzed by Western blotting. DCM fraction significantly inhibited formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) as well as nitric oxide (NO) in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Phosphorylation of the pro-inflammatory transcription factor complex nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-${\kappa}$B) p65 and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), one of its downstream proteins, were also suppressed by DCM fraction. These effects were regulated by upsteam proteins in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathways. Taken together, our data suggest that O. japonicus could be used as a potential source for anti-inflammatory agents.

  • Achyranthoside C dimethyl ester (ACDE)는 우슬에서 분리한 oleanolic acid glycoside이다. 본 연구에서는 RAW264.7 대식세포에서 ACDE의 항염증 효과를 관찰하고 그 작용 기전을 연구하였다. ACDE는 세포에 독성을 유도하지 않으면서 heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1)의 발현을 유도하였다. ACDE 는 HO-1의 발현에 관여하는 전사인자인 nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)를 핵으로 이동시켰다. 또한 ACDE에 의한 HO-1의 발현은 phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K) 및 mitogen activated protein kinases (MAPK) 억제제에 의해 감소되었으며, ACDE가 Akt, c-Jun kinase (JNK), extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK), p38 kinase의 인산화를 유도하였다. 한편 ACDE는 lipopolysaccharide (LPS)로 인한 nitric oxide (NO)의 생성과 inducible NO synthase (iNOS) 발현을 억제하였으며 HO-1 siRNA를 처리했을 때 ACDE가 iNOS의 발현을 억제하지 못하였다. 이상의 결과를 종합해보면, ACDE는 대식세포에서 PI3K/Akt 및 MAPK와 Nrf2 신호전달과정을 통해 HO-1의 발현을 유도함으로써 NO와 같은 염증매개물질의 생성을 억제한다는 것을 알 수 있다. 이러한 연구결과는 ACDE가 항염증제로 사용될 수 있음을 시사한다.

  • Foeniculum vulgare Mill. (fennel) is used to flavor food, in cosmetics, as an antioxidant, and to treat microbial, diabetic and common inflammation. No study to date, however, has assessed the anti-inflammatory effects of fennel in experimental models of inflammation. The aims of this study were to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of fennel in model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury. Mice were randomly assigned to seven groups (n=7~10). In five groups, the mice were intraperitoneally injected with 1% Tween 80-saline (vehicle), fennel (125, 250, $500{\mu}l/kg$), or dexamethasone (1 mg/kg), followed 1 h later by intratracheal instillation of LPS (1.5 mg/kg). In two groups, the mice were intraperitoneally injected with vehicle or fennel ($250{\mu}l/kg$), followed 1 h later by intratracheal instillation of sterile saline. Mice were sacrificed 4 h later, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissues were obtained. Fennel significantly and dose-dependently reduced LDH activity and immune cell numbers in LPS treated mice. In addition fennel effectively suppressed the LPS-induced increases in the production of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-alpha, with $500{\mu}l/kg$ fennel showing maximal reduction. Fennel also significantly and dose-dependently reduced the activity of the proinflammatory mediator matrix metalloproteinase 9 and the immune modulator nitric oxide (NO). Assessments of the involvement of the MAPK signaling pathway showed that fennel significantly decreased the LPS-induced phosphorylation of ERK. Fennel effectively blocked the inflammatory processes induced by LPS, by regulating pro-inflammatory cytokine production, transcription factors, and NO.

  • Objectives: Activated microglia cells play an important role in inflammatory responses in the central nervous system (CNS) which are involved in neurodegenerative diseases. We attempted to determine the anti-inflammatory effects of Cheongnoimyungshin-hwan (CNMSH) in microglia cells. Methods: We examined the effect of CNMSH on the inflammatory responses in BV2 microglia cells induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and explored the mechanism underlying the action of CNMSH. Results: BV2 cells treated with LPS showed an up-regulation of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin $PGE_2(PGE_2)$ and interleukin $1{\beta}(IL-1{\beta})$ release, whereas CNMSH suppressed this up-regulation. CNMSH inhibited the induction of COX-2, iNOS and $IL-1{\beta}$ proteins in LPS-treated BV2 cells and blocked the LPS-induced phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of nuclear factor ${\kappa}B(NF-{\kappa}B$). Furthermore, CNMSH attenuated the LPS-induced phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase and p38 mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK), as well as the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway, but did not inhibit the LPS-induced phosphorylation of c-Jun amino terminal kinase. Conclusions: These results suggest that the inhibitory effect of CNMSH on the LPS-induced production of inflammatory mediators and cytokines in BV2 cells is associated with the suppression of the $NF-{\kappa}B$ and PI3KAkt signaling pathways.
