Background. Huangkui capsule (HKC) comprises the total flavonoid extract of flowers of Abelmoschus manihot (L.) Medicus. This study aimed to explore the effects of HKC on lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice and LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. Methods. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, histopathology, spectrophotometry, and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction were used for the assessments. Statistical analysis was performed using a one-way analysis of variance. Results. LPS significantly increased lung inflammation, neutrophil infiltration, and oxidative stress and downregulated lung miR-451 expression. Treatment with HKC dramatically attenuated the lung wet/dry weight ratio, reduced the total cell count in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and inhibited myeloperoxidase activity in the lung tissues 24 h after LPS challenge. Histopathological analysis demonstrated that HKC attenuated LPS-induced tissue oedema and neutrophil infiltration in the lung tissues. Additionally, the concentrations of tumour necrosis factor- (TNF-) α and interleukin- (IL-) 6 in BALF and IL-6 in the plasma reduced after HKC administration. Moreover, HKC could enhance glutathione peroxidase and catalase activities and upregulate the expression of miR-451 in the lung tissues. In vitro experiments revealed that HKC inhibited the production of nitric oxide, TNF-α, and IL-6 in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells and mouse primary peritoneal macrophages. Additionally, HKC downregulated LPS-induced transcription of TNF-α and IL-6 in RAW 264.7 cells. Conclusions. These findings suggest that HKC has anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects that may protect mice against LPS-induced ALI and macrophage activation.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a common chronic remitting disease driven through altered immune responses with production of inflammatory cytokines. Oxidant/antioxidant balance is also suggested to be an important factor for the recurrence and progression of UC. Maggots are known as a traditional Chinese medicine also known as “wu gu chong.” NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) transcription factor regulates the oxidative stress response and also represses inflammation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of maggot extracts on the amelioration of inflammation and oxidative stress in a mouse model of dextran sulfate sodium- (DSS-) induced colitis and evaluate if the maggot extracts could repress inflammation and oxidative stress using RAW 264.7 macrophages stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). In the present study, we found that the maggot extracts significantly prevented the loss of body weight and shortening of colon length in UC induced by DSS. Furthermore, DSS-induced expression of proinflammatory cytokines at both mRNA and protein levels in the colon was also attenuated by the maggot extracts. In addition, the maggot extracts could significantly suppress the expression of interleukin- (IL-) 1β, IL-6, TNF-α, NFκB p65, p-IκB, p22-phox, and gp91-phox in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells and colonic tissues. The maggot extracts increased the level of Nrf2 and prevented the degradation of Nrf2 through downregulating the expression of Keap1, which resulted in augmented levels of HO-1, SOD, and GSH-Px and reduced levels of MPO and MDA. However, after administering an Nrf2 inhibitor (ML385) to block the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, we failed to observe the protective effects of the maggot extracts in mice with colitis and RAW 264.7 cells. Taken together, our data for the first time confirmed that the maggot extracts ameliorated inflammation and oxidative stress in experimental colitis via modulation of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. This study sheds light on the possible development of an effective therapeutic strategy for inflammatory bowel diseases.

Despite its deleterious effects on living cells, oxidative stress plays essential roles in normal physiological processes and provides signaling molecules for cell growth, differentiation, and inflammation. Macrophages are equipped with antioxidant mechanisms to cope with intracellular ROS produced during immune response, and Nrf2 (NF-E2-related factor 2)/HO-1 (heme oxygenase-1) pathway is an attractive target due to its protective effect against ROS-induced cell damage in inflamed macrophages. We investigated the effects of ethanol extract of A. villosum (AVEE) on lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) stimulated inflammatory responses generated via the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in murine peritoneal macrophages and RAW 264.7 cells. AVEE was found to suppress the NF-κB signaling pathway, thus, to reduce proinflammatory cytokine, nitric oxide, and prostaglandin levels in peritoneal macrophages and Raw 264.7 cells treated with LPS, and to enhance HO-1 expression by activating Nrf2 signaling. Furthermore, these anti-inflammatory effects of AVEE were diminished when cells were pretreated with SnPP (a HO-1 inhibitor). HPLC analysis revealed AVEE contained quercetin, a possible activator of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. These results show A. villosum ethanol extract exerts anti-inflammatory effects by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in LPS-stimulated macrophages.

ABSTRACT Serum glycosylphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase D (GPI-PLD) activity is reduced over 75% in systemic inflammatory response syndrome. To investigate the mechanism of this response, expression of the GPI-PLD gene was studied in the mouse monocyte-macrophage cell line RAW 264.7 stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 0.5 to 50 ng/ml). GPI-PLD mRNA was reduced approximately 60% in a time- and dose-dependent manner. Oxidative stress induced by 0.5 mM H2O2 or 50 μM menadione also caused a greater than 50% reduction in GPI-PLD mRNA. The antioxidant N-acetyl-l-cysteine attenuated the down-regulatory effect of H2O2but not of LPS. Cotreatment of the cells with actinomycin D inhibited down-regulation induced by either LPS or H2O2. The half-life of GPI-PLD mRNA was not affected by LPS, or decreased slightly with H2O2, indicating that the reduction in GPI-PLD mRNA is due primarily to transcriptional regulation. Stimulation with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) resulted in ∼40% reduction in GPI-PLD mRNA in human A549 alveolar carcinoma cells but not RAW 264.7 cells, suggesting that alternative pathways could exist in different cell types for down-regulating GPI-PLD expression during an inflammatory response and the TNF-α autocrine signaling mechanism alone is not sufficient to recapitulate the LPS-induced reduction of GPI-PLD in macrophages. Sublines of RAW 264.7 cells with reduced GPI-PLD expression exhibited increased cell sensitivity to LPS stimulation and membrane-anchored CD14 expression on the cell surface. Our data suggest that down-regulation of GPI-PLD could play an important role in the control of proinflammatory responses.

Abstract Background Inflammation is a response to tissue injuries, which is indispensable and important for human health, but excessive inflammation can potentially cause damage to the host organisms. Camellia nitidissima Chi, one traditional medicinal and edible plant in China, was reported to exhibit anti-inflammation capability. Hence, this study was conducted to isolate the bioactive compounds from the flowers of C. nitidissima Chi and evaluate their anti-inflammatory activity. Methods The phytochemicals from the flowers of C. nitidissima Chi were isolated and purified by silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 gel, C18 reversed silica gel, semi-preparative HPLC, and identified by the spectrum technologies. The anti-inflammatory activity of isolated compounds was evaluated using cultured macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. Whereafter the potential metabolic mechanism of the anti-inflammatory activity of the bioactive compound was investigated by a 1H-NMR based metabolomics approach. The metabolites in 1H-NMR spectra were identified by querying the Human Metabolome Database and Madison Metabolomics Consortium Database online. And the multivariate statistical analysis was performed to evaluate the variability of metabolites among samples and between sample classes. Results The compound isolated from the flowers of C. nitidissima Chi was identified as 3-cinnamoyltribuloside (3-CT). 3-CT could inhibit the NO production and the mRNA expression of iNOS involved in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.7 cells. Moreover, 3-CT could inhibit the expression of a series of inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, both at the mRNA level and protein level. The 1H-NMR based metabolomics approach was applied to investigate the potential metabolic mechanism of the anti-inflammatory activity of 3-CT. Thirty-five metabolites were identified and assigned. Orthogonal signal correction partial least-squares discriminant analysis (OSC-PLS-DA) of the 1H-NMR data showed 3-CT could balance the significant changes in many endogenous metabolites (e.g., choline, glucose, phenylalanine) induced by LPS in RAW 264.7 cells, which related to cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, oxidative stress, energy metabolism, and amino acids metabolism. Conclusion 3-CT, isolated from the flowers of C. nitidissima Chi, had potent anti-inflammatory activity in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells. Furthermore, our results indicated that 3-CT had effects on the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, oxidative stress, energy metabolism, and amino acids metabolism in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells.
