- Acacetin, a flavonoid derived compound has been recognized for its diverse biological activities, such as anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe condition characterized by respiratory insufficiency and tissue damage, commonly triggered by pneumonia and severe sepsis. These conditions induce an inflammatory response via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling activation. This study explored acacetin's therapeutic potential against lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced ALI in mice, focusing on its ability to modulate the NF-κB pathway via regulation of the Nod-like receptor family CARD domain containing 3 (NLRC3), a signal sensor that plays an important role in the regulation of inflammation and the maintenance of homeostasis. Our findings revealed that high-dose acacetin reduced the mortality rate of ALI mice, significantly ameliorated LPS-induced lung pathological changes, reduced lung edema, and decreased the expression of inflammatory mediators in lung tissues. This protective impact of acacetin appears to stem form its capacity to enhance NLRC3 expression, which, intern, can inhibit the activation of NF-κB and subsequently inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators. NLRC3 deficiency inhibits the protective effect of acacetin on ALI mice. Molecular docking also verified that acacetin tightly bound acacetin to NLRC3. Additionally, acacetin was found to influence macrophage recruitment dynamics via NLRC3, inhibiting the overactivation of NLRC3-NF-κB related pathways. Taken together, our results indicate that acacetin inhibited LPS-induced acute lung injury and macrophage overrecruitment to the lungs in mice by upregulating NLRC3. - Source: PubMed

Xiao YingchouZhang BoHou ShiyuanShen XingWu XinganLiu RongrongLuo Ying - There is accumulating evidence that selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), clinically used as antidepressants, have a beneficial effect on inflammatory diseases such as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We previously compared the inhibitory effects of five U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved SSRIs on the production of an inflammatory cytokine, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and concluded that fluoxetine (FLX) showed the most potent anti-inflammatory activity. Here, we investigated the structure-activity relationship of FLX for anti-inflammatory activity towards J774.1 murine macrophages. FLX suppressed IL-6 production induced by the TLR3 agonist polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly(I : C)) with an IC of 4.76 µM. A derivative of FLX containing chlorine instead of the methylamino group lacked activity, suggesting that the methylamino group is important for the anti-inflammatory activity. FLX derivatives bearing an N-propyl or N-(pyridin-3-yl)methyl group in place of the N-methyl group exhibited almost the same activity as FLX. Other derivatives showed weaker activity, and the N-phenyl and N-(4-trifluoromethyl)benzyl derivatives were inactive. The chlorine-containing derivative also lacked inhibitory activity against TLR9- or TLR4-mediated IL-6 production. These derivatives showed similar structure-activity relationships for TLR3- and TLR9-mediated inflammatory responses. However, the activities of all amino group-containing derivatives against the TLR4-mediated inflammatory response were equal to or higher than the activity of FLX. These results indicate that the substituent at the nitrogen atom in FLX strongly influences the anti-inflammatory effect. - Source: PubMed

Xiao LingYe Gang - Acute lung injury (ALI) remains a significant clinical challenge due to the absence of effective treatment alternatives. This study presents a new method that employs a screening platform focusing on MyD88 affinity, anti-inflammatory properties, and toxicity. This platform was used to evaluate a 300-compound library known for its anti-inflammatory potential. Among the screened compounds, Bicyclol emerged as a standout, exhibiting MyD88 binding and a significant reduction in LPS-stimulated pro-inflammatory factors production in mouse primary peritoneal macrophages. By targeting MyD88, Bicyclol disrupts the MyD88/TLR4 complex and MyD88 polymer formation, thereby mitigating the MAPKs and NF-κB signaling pathways. In vivo experiments further confirmed Bicyclol's efficacy, demonstrating alleviated ALI symptoms, decreased inflammatory cytokines level, and reduced inflammatory cells presence in lung tissues. These findings were associated with a decrease in mortality in LPS-challenged mice. Overall, Bicyclol represents a promising treatment option for ALI by specifically targeting MyD88 and limiting inflammatory responses. - Source: PubMed

Fu LiliCheng LintingLu JunliangYe QianruShu CongSun ChuchuLiu ZhiguoLiang GuangZhao Weixin - Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an idiopathic and chronic autoimmune disease for which there are currently no effective treatments. Oxypeucedanin hydrate (OXH) is a natural coumarin known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties. However, further investigations are needed to determine its therapeutic efficacy in treating RA. In this study, we evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of OXH by treating LPS-induced RAW264.7 macrophages. Our results show that OXH treatment reverses the changes in iNOS, COX-2, IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α levels. Additionally, OXH reduces ROS production. Further analysis reveals that OXH suppresses the activation of the NF-κB/MAPK pathway. CETSA results show that OXH competes with LPS for binding to the TLR4/MD2 complex. MST experiments demonstrate the specific affinity of OXH for the TLR4/MD2 complex, with a Kd value of 33.7 μM. Molecular docking analysis suggests that OXH binds to the pocket of the TLR4/MD2 complex and interacts with specific amino acids, such as GLY-343, LYS-388, and PHE-345. Molecular dynamics simulations further confirm this conclusion. Finally, we investigate the potential of OXH in treating RA using a collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) model in rats. OXH effectively ameliorates the symptoms of CIA, including improving body weight, reducing swelling and redness, increasing talus volume, and decreasing bone erosion. OXH also decreases the mRNA levels of pro-inflammatory factors in synovial tissue. Transcriptome enrichment analysis and western blot analysis confirm that OXH suppresses the NF-κB/MAPK pathway, which is consistent with our findings. - Source: PubMed
