Our aim was to investigate the effects of Spirulina on BV-2 microglial cell cytotoxicity and inflammatory genes expression.
BV-2 microglial cells were treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (1 µg/ml) and various concentrations of Spirulina platensis water extract or its active component (C-phycocyanin (C-PC)) for 24 hours. Cytotoxicity (lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release) and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) mRNAs were assayed.
LPS increased LDH production and up-regulated expression of iNOS, COX-2, TNF-α, and IL-6 by BV-2 microglial cells. However, Spirulina platensis water extract and C-PC significantly reduced LPS-induced LDH release, and expression of iNOS, COX-2, TNF-α, and IL-6 mRNAs.
Spirulina can reduce the cytotoxicity and inhibit expression of inflammation-related genes of LPS-stimulated BV-2 microglial cells.
我们的目的是研究螺旋藻对BV - 2小胶质细胞毒性和炎症相关基因表达的影响。
用脂多糖（LPS）（1微克/毫升）和不同浓度的钝顶螺旋藻水提取物或其活性成分（藻蓝蛋白（C - PC））处理BV - 2小胶质细胞24小时。检测细胞毒性（乳酸脱氢酶（LDH）释放）以及诱导型一氧化氮合酶（iNOS）、环氧化酶 - 2（COX - 2）、肿瘤坏死因子 -α（TNF -α）和白细胞介素 - 6（IL - 6）mRNA的表达。
LPS增加了BV - 2小胶质细胞的LDH产生，并上调了iNOS、COX - 2、TNF -α和IL - 6的表达。然而，钝顶螺旋藻水提取物和C - PC显著降低了LPS诱导的LDH释放以及iNOS、COX - 2、TNF -α和IL - 6 mRNA的表达。
螺旋藻可降低LPS刺激的BV - 2小胶质细胞的细胞毒性并抑制炎症相关基因的表达。
