(Bignoniaceae) is widely distributed throughout Korea, China, and Japan. This study investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of catalpalactone isolated from in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 cells. Catalpalactone significantly inhibited nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible NO synthase (iNOS) expression in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. The levels of cytokines such as interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α were reduced under catalpalactone exposure in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells. Additionally, catalpalactone suppressed signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT-1) protein expression and interferon-β (IFN-β) production. Treatment with catalpalactone prevented interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation. Taken together, these results suggest that the anti-inflammatory effects of catalpalactone are associated with the suppression of NO production and iNOS expression through the inhibition of IRF3, NF-κB, and IFN-β/STAT-1 activation.
梓属(Bignoniaceae)广泛分布于韩国、中国和日本。本研究探讨了从梓属中分离得到的梓醇内酯对脂多糖(LPS)诱导的 RAW264.7 细胞的抗炎作用。梓醇内酯显著抑制 LPS 诱导的 RAW264.7 细胞中一氧化氮(NO)的产生和诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)的表达。在 LPS 诱导的 RAW264.7 细胞中,梓醇内酯暴露后细胞因子如白细胞介素-6 和肿瘤坏死因子-α的水平降低。此外,梓醇内酯抑制信号转导和转录激活因子 1(STAT-1)蛋白表达和干扰素-β(IFN-β)的产生。梓醇内酯处理可防止干扰素调节因子 3(IRF3)和核因子-κB(NF-κB)的激活。综上所述,这些结果表明,梓醇内酯的抗炎作用与通过抑制 IRF3、NF-κB 和 IFN-β/STAT-1 激活来抑制 NO 产生和 iNOS 表达有关。
