AI Article Synopsis
- Corticosteroids are effective anti-inflammatory agents, but their long-term use can cause side effects, highlighting the need for safer alternatives.
- This study explored the anti-inflammatory properties of a natural compound, (Siebold & Zucc.) Endl. leaf extract (70COLGA), which was fermented to reduce cytotoxicity in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells.
- Results showed that 70COLGA significantly inhibited the production of nitric oxide, inflammatory cytokines, and activation of inflammatory pathways, suggesting it could be a promising treatment for inflammatory diseases.
Article Abstract
Corticosteroids are commonly used anti-inflammatory agents. However, their prolonged use can lead to side effects. Therefore, the development of natural compounds with minimal side effects is necessary. This study was performed to investigate the anti-inflammatory effects and mechanisms of action of (Siebold & Zucc.) Endl. leaf (COL), bioconverted using () in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells. The COL 70% EtOH extract fermented by (70COLGA) improved the high cytotoxicity of 70% EtOH extracts (70COL). When RAW264.7 cells were pre-treated with 100 and 200 μg/mL of 70COLGA for 2 h and then treated with LPS for 16 h, LPS induced the production of nitric oxide (NO), and the expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) were significantly inhibited. When RAW264.7 cells were pre-treated with 100 and 200 μg/mL of 70COLGA for 2 h and then treated with LPS for 4 h, the phosphorylation of signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) was markedly decreased. In addition, 70COLGA markedly suppressed the production of the inflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. Analysis of pro-inflammatory molecules using cytokine arrays showed that macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP)-2, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and IL-27 expressions were also suppressed by 200 μg/mL of 70COLGA in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. These results demonstrate that 70COLGA significantly prevented inflammatory responses by inhibiting the secretion of pro-inflammatory molecules in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. When RAW264.7 cells were pre-treated with 100 and 200 μg/mL of 70COLGA for 2 h and then treated with LPS-conditioned medium (LPS-CM) for 30 min, 70COLGA directly inhibited STAT activation. In summary, our findings suggest that 70COLGA has therapeutic potential for the treatment of inflammatory diseases.

Acute lung injury (ALI) is a prevalent and severe clinical condition characterized by inflammatory damage to the lung endothelial and epithelial barriers, resulting in high incidence and mortality rates. Currently, there is a lack of safe and effective drugs for the treatment of ALI. In a previous clinical study, we observed that Jinyinqingre oral liquid (JYQR), a Traditional Chinese Medicine formulation prepared by the Taihe Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Hubei University of Medicine, exhibited notable efficacy in treating inflammation-related hepatitis and cholecystitis in clinical settings.

Background & Aims: Fasting and calorie restriction are associated with a prolonged life span and an increased resistance to stress. The protective effects of fasting have been exploited for the mitigation of ischemic organ injury, yet the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Here, we investigated whether fasting protects liver against ischemia reperfusion (IR) through energy-preserving or anti-inflammatory mechanisms.

Macrophages can be activated through TLRs for a variety of innate immune responses. In contrast with the wealth of data existing on TLR-dependent gene expression and resultant cytokine production, very little is known on the mechanisms governing TLR-mediated arachidonic acid (AA) mobilization and subsequent eicosanoid production. We have previously reported the involvement of both cytosolic group IVA phospholipase A(2) (cPLA(2)) and secreted group V phospholipase A(2) (sPLA(2)-V) in regulating the AA mobilization response of macrophages exposed to bacterial LPS, a TLR4 agonist.
