To investigate the effect of iguratimod (T-614), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, on TNFalpha mRNA expression and TNFalpha production, and on the activity of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) in the rat alveolar macrophage cell line (NR8383) activated by LPS.
NR8383 cells were pretreated with T-614 (13.4, 26.7, 53.4 micromol x L(-1)), then were stimulated with LPS. The production of TNFalpha in the supernatant of NR8383 was assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The TNFalpha mRNA level was determined by a semi-quantitative PCR assay. Assessment of the NF-kappaB DNA binding activity was performed by an ELISA kit.
T-614 inhibited LPS-stimulated mRNA expression and production of TNFalpha in a concentration-dependent manner, as well as the activity of NF-kappaB. The IC50 value of effect of T-614 on TNFalpha level was 26.2 micromol x L(-1).
The inhibitory effect of T-614 on the production of TNFalpha in LPS-stimulated NR8383 cells may be mediated by suppression of NF-kappaB activity.
研究非甾体抗炎药艾拉莫德(T-614)对脂多糖(LPS)激活的大鼠肺泡巨噬细胞系(NR8383)中肿瘤坏死因子α(TNFα)mRNA表达、TNFα产生以及核因子κB(NF-κB)活性的影响。
NR8383细胞先用T-614(13.4、26.7、53.4 μmol·L⁻¹)预处理,然后用LPS刺激。采用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)法检测NR8383细胞上清液中TNFα的产生。通过半定量聚合酶链反应(PCR)测定法确定TNFα mRNA水平。使用ELISA试剂盒评估NF-κB DNA结合活性。
T-614以浓度依赖性方式抑制LPS刺激的TNFα mRNA表达和产生,以及NF-κB的活性。T-614对TNFα水平影响的半数抑制浓度(IC50)值为26.2 μmol·L⁻¹。
T-614对LPS刺激的NR8383细胞中TNFα产生的抑制作用可能是通过抑制NF-κB活性介导的。
