The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of tegoprazan (TEGO) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). To this end, compared to methylprednisolone (MP; positive control), we evaluated whether TEGO effectively differentiates LPS-stimulated BMMs into M2-phenotype macrophages. Moreover, the expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines genes influenced by TEGO was measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis. TEGO was found to reduce nitric oxide (NO) production in BMMs significantly. In addition, TEGO significantly decreased and increased the gene expression levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, respectively. In addition, we evaluated the phosphorylated values of the extracellular signal-regulatory kinase (ERK) and p38 in the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signaling pathway through Western blotting. TEGO significantly reduced the phosphorylated values of the ERK and p38. In other words, TEGO suppressed the various pro-inflammatory responses in LPS-induced BMMs. These results show that TEGO has the potential to be used as an anti-inflammatory agent.
本研究旨在探讨替戈拉赞(TEGO)在脂多糖(LPS)刺激的骨髓来源巨噬细胞(BMM)中的抗炎作用。为此,与甲泼尼龙(MP;阳性对照)相比,我们评估了 TEGO 是否能有效将 LPS 刺激的 BMM 分化为 M2 表型巨噬细胞。此外,还通过定量实时聚合酶链反应(qRT-PCR)分析测量了 TEGO 影响的促炎和抗炎细胞因子基因的表达。结果发现 TEGO 可显著减少 BMM 中一氧化氮(NO)的产生。此外,TEGO 还分别显著降低和增加了促炎和抗炎细胞因子的基因表达水平。此外,我们还通过 Western blot 评估了 MAP 激酶信号通路中细胞外信号调节激酶(ERK)和 p38 的磷酸化值。TEGO 显著降低了 ERK 和 p38 的磷酸化值。换句话说,TEGO 抑制了 LPS 诱导的 BMM 中的各种促炎反应。这些结果表明,TEGO 有可能被用作抗炎剂。
