摘要
Background: Saposhnikovia divaricate(Fangfeng), a traditional Chinese medicine, has been commonly used for some chronic inflammatory diseases such as arthritis. However, the underlying functional mechanism is still unknown. Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of Saposhnikovia divaricate ethylacetate extract(SDE) on the production of IL-, IL-6 and NLRP3 in LPS-induced U937 Cells. Methods: Saposhnikovia divaricate has been extracted with ethylacetate(Et OAc). U937 cells were pre-treated with different concentrations(0, 3.125, 6.25 12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200 μg/ml) of SDE after being induced with PMA(10 ng/ml) for 48 h into macrophages. The cell viability was determined by CCK-8 assay. Furthermore, U937 cells induced by PMA were stimulated with LPS(1 μg/ml) for 48 h with or without the indicated concentration(25 μg/ml) of SDE for 2 h, followed by ATP(5 m M) treatment for 45 min. The mRNA levels of IL-, IL-6 and NLRP3 in the cells and the protein levels of these factors in the supernatant were assessed by real-time PCR and ELISA, respectively.Results: Our results showed that SDE didn't exhibit obvious cytotoxicity at the concentration of 3.125, 6.25 12.5 and 25 μg/ml. Subsequently, 25 μg/ml SDE was used for the further experiments. We found that IL-, IL-6 and NLRP3 mRNA levels in cells and protein levels in supernatant were all significantly increased in LPS combined with ATP-stimulated U937 cells compared to the control group. SDE could significantly downregulate the mRNA and protein levels of IL-, IL-6 and NLRP3 in SDE-treated groups compared to the LPS combined with ATP-stimulated group. Conclusion: These results showed that SDE could inhibit the production of IL-, IL-6 and NLRP3 in LPS combined with ATP-stimulated U937 cells.
