Ethnopharmacological relevance
Chaenomeles speciosa fruits have been widely used in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of diseases related to inflammatory reaction. This study aims to identify anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory components of Chaenomeles speciosa fruit and unravel their potential mechanisms.Materials and methods
Ethanolic extract and its n-hexane, chloroform, ethyl acetate and n-butanol fractions, as well as water-soluble polysaccharide, were prepared from dry fruits of Chaenomeles speciosa. The mouse macrophage-like RAW264.7 cells were induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and used as an inflammatory cell model. Production of nitric oxide in the cells was determined by the Griess assay, and cell viability was tested by the MTT method. Cellular apoptosis was evaluated by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Relative quantification of inflammation-related genes was analyzed by real-time PCR.Results
LPS-induced production of nitric oxide in RAW264.7 cells was significantly inhibited by the ethyl acetate fraction (EAF) at 200–800 μg/ml, while Chaenomeles speciosa polysaccharide (CPS) promoted nitric oxide production at 250–750 μg/ml either alone or in an additive fashion with LPS. Both EAF and CPS did not provoke noticeable cytotoxicity and apoptosis at the above effective concentrations. EAF significantly reduced LPS-induced upshift of iNOS mRNA level but showed no significant effect on the induction of IFN-γ and G-CSF, while CPS reduced the gene induction of TNF-α, IFN-γ and G-CSF by LPS.Conclusions
EAF was able to inhibit nitric oxide production by reducing LPS-induced upshift of iNOS mRNA level. CPS was an activator of nitric oxide production through cytokines such as TNF-α, IFN-γ and G-CSF. These results demonstrate the therapeutic effects of both ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Chaenomeles speciosa fruit, a traditional edible medicine used in health maintenance and disease treatment. 相似文献2.

Aim of the study
Fissistigma oldhamii (Hemsl.) Merr, a traditional Chinese herb medicine, is used for treating rheumatoid arthritis in China. In our previous study, an effective compound, 7′-(3′,4′-dihydroxyphenyl)-N-[(4-methoxyphenyl) ethyl] propenamide (Z23), from this herb has showed potent immunosuppressive effects both in vitro and in vivo. However, its anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism is still need to explore.Materials and methods
We examined the in vitro effects of Z23 on the production of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and cytokines by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages.Results
Z23 significantly decreased the production of PGE2, NO, tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNFalpha) and IL6 production. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase2 (COX2) gene expression were also significantly reduced.Conclusions
These results demonstrated that Z23 exerted an anti-inflammatory effect through modulating the synthesis of several mediators and cytokines involved in the inflammatory process. This study provided evidence to understand the therapeutic effects of Fissistigma oldhamii (Hemsl.) Merr and indicated that Z23 has the potential for treatment of various inflammatory diseases where the overproduction of NO, PGE2 and inflammatory cytokines has been shown to play a role, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis. 相似文献3.

Safe and efficient therapeutic agents for bone diseases are required in natural sources. We previously found that edible seaweed‐derived polysaccharide porphyran exhibited anti‐inflammatory effects through the down regulation of nuclear factor‐κB. The aim of this study was to investigate the availability of porphyran as a therapeutic agent for bone diseases. The effects of porphyran on receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL)‐induced osteoclastogenesis in RAW264.7 cells were examined. Porphyran suppressed RANKL‐induced osteoclast formation in a concentration‐dependent manner (6.25–50 μg/ml) without any cytotoxic effects. Furthermore, real‐time polymerase chain reaction analyses indicated that porphyran at 50 μg/ml significantly attenuated the RANKL‐induced increase in the mRNA levels of osteoclastogenesis‐related marker genes such as nuclear factor of activated T cells, tartrate‐resistant acid phosphatase, cathepsin K, and matrix metalloproteinase‐9 in RAW264.7 cells. To our knowledge, this is the first report showing that edible‐seaweed‐derived polysaccharide porphyran can suppress RANKL‐induced osteoclastogenesis. Our results suggest that porphyran can be used as a safe therapeutic agent to improve osteoclast‐related pathological conditions. 相似文献

We have investigated the effect of Juzen-taiho-to (TJ-48) on inducible NO synthase (iNOS) expression and nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW264.7 cells, a murine macrophage cell line. TJ-48-lipopolysaccharide (LPS) combination induced iNOS mRNA expression earlier, stronger and remained longer that paralleled but with a higher NO production compared to LPS stimulation. TJ-48 itself showed no inducible effect either on NO production or iNOS mRNA expression. This phenomenon could be considered to contribute, at least in part, to the beneficial effects of TJ-48 through the iNOS-mediated activation of biodefense mechanism. 相似文献

Kaempferia parviflora Wall. ex Baker, is one of the plants in the Zingiberaceae family, locally known in Thai as kra-chai-dam. The rhizome of this plant has been used for treatment of gout, apthous ulcer and abscesses. Since K. parviflora rhizomes have long been used for treatment of inflammation and possessed marked nitric oxide (NO) inhibitory activity (IC(50)=7.8microg/ml), we thus investigated the inhibitory activity of compounds isolated from this plant against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced NO release in RAW264.7 cells. From bioassay-guided fractionation of K. parviflora, seven methoxyflavones were isolated from the hexane fraction and were tested for their anti-inflammatory effects. Among the isolated compounds, compound 5 (5-hydroxy-3,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavone) exhibited the highest activity against NO release with an IC(50) value of 16.1microM, followed by 4 (IC(50)=24.5microM) and 3 (IC(50)=30.6microM). Compound 5 was also tested on LPS-induced prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) releases from RAW264.7 cells. It was revealed that 5 showed appreciable inhibitory effect on PGE(2) release (IC(50)=16.3microM), but inactive on TNF-alpha (IC(50)>100microM). These findings may support the use in Thai traditional medicine of K. parviflora for treatment of inflammatory-related diseases through the inhibition of NO and PGE(2) releases but partly due to that of TNF-alpha. 相似文献

Nitric oxide (NO) produced by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) has played a crucial role in various pathophysiological processes including inflammation and carcinogenesis. Therefore, the inhibitors of NO synthesis or iNOS gene expression have been considered as potential anti-inflammatory and cancer chemopreventive agents. In our continuous search for iNOS inhibitors from natural products we have evaluated indigenous Korean plant extracts using an assay for inhibition of nitric oxide formation on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated mouse macrophage RAW 264.7 cells. As a result, the methanolic stem extract of Actinodaphne lancifolia showed an inhibitory activity of NO production in a dose-dependent manner (IC50 = 2.5 microg/ml). Additional study demonstrated that the extract of Actinodaphne lancifolia significantly suppressed the iNOS protein and gene expression in a dose-dependent manner. These results suggest that Actinodaphne lancifolia could be a potential candidate for developing an iNOS inhibitor from natural products. Further elucidation of active principles for development of new cancer chemopreventive and/or anti-inflammatory agents could be warranted. 相似文献

Ethnopharmacological relevance
The rhizomes of Kaempferia parviflora Wall. ex Baker have been traditionally used in Thailand to treat abscesses, gout, and peptic ulcers.Aim
Previously, we reported that the chloroform fraction of a Kaempferia parviflora extract had an inhibitory effect on rat paw-edema. In the present study, we isolated the constituents of this fraction and investigated the anti-inflammatory mechanism against nitric oxide (NO) production, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) as well as phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (p-ERK), and phosphorylated c-Jun N-terminal kinase (p-JNK). In addition, effects of trimethylapigenin (4) on the enzyme activities of protein kinases possibly leading to iNOS expression were examined to clarify the targets.Materials and methods
The chloroform fraction was isolated using silica gel column chromatography and HPLC. Isolated compounds were tested against NO and TNF-α using RAW264.7 cells. Cytotoxicity and iNOS, p-ERK and p-JNK expression were also examined.Results
Three active components, 5,7-dimethoxyflavone (2), trimethylapigenin (4), and tetramethylluteolin (5), markedly inhibited the production of NO in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW264.7 cells. Compounds 2, 4, and 5 moderately inhibited production of TNF-α. Compounds 2, 4, and 5 strongly inhibited expression of iNOS mRNA and iNOS protein in a dose-dependent manner, but did not inhibit p-ERK or p-JNK protein expression. The most active compound, 4, did not inhibit the enzyme activity of inhibitor of κB kinases or mitogen-activated protein kinases, but inhibited that of spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK).Conclusion
The mechanism responsible for the anti-inflammatory activity of methoxyflavonoids from the chloroform fraction of the rhizomes of Kaempferia parviflora is mainly the inhibition of iNOS expression, and the inhibition of SYK by 4 may be involved in the suppression of LPS-induced signaling in macrophages. 相似文献17.

Caesalpinia sappan L. is distributed in Southeast Asia and also used as herbal medicine for the treatment of various diseases such as burning sensations, leprosy, dysentery, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The overproduction of IL-6 plays an important role in the prognosis of RA, but the active compounds from the extracts of Caesalpinia sappan L. suppressing IL-6 production remain unknown.Aims of the study
Identifying the main active compounds of Caesalpinia sappan L. extracts inhibiting the IL-6 production in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells by partial least squares (PLS).Materials and methods
Sixty-four samples with different proportions of compounds were prepared from Caesalpinia sappan L. by supercritical CO2 fluid extraction (SCFE) and refluxing. Each of 64 samples was applied to RAW 264.7 cells with LPS to evaluate whether IL-6 production by LPS is affected by addition of each sample. The IL-6 production in medium was determined by ELISA and the inhibitory activity of each sample was analyzed. In addition, the fingerprints of these 64 samples were also established by ultra-performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC–MS). We used the PLS, a simplified method, to evaluate the results from IL-6 production and fingerprints.Results
Each of 64 samples markedly suppressed LPS-induced IL-6 production in RAW cells. The fingerprints by UPLC–MS clearly revealed variations among 64 samples produced in different extract conditions. The PLS analysis with IL-6 production and fingerprints by UPLC–MS suggested that the peaks 71, 93, 150, 157, 168 have more influence on the inhibitory activity of Caesalpinia sappan L. extracts. The peaks 71, 93, 150 are likely representing sappanone A, protosappanin E and neoprotosappanin, respectively. The peaks 157 and 168 are still at large.Conclusion
This is the first report that sappanone A, protosappanin E, neoprotosappanin and two unidentified compounds can be considered as possible active compounds that might inhibit IL-6 production. Further studies are needed to confirm the effectiveness of these five compounds on IL-6 production and possible mechanism. 相似文献18.

The rhizomes of Cyperus rotundus (C. rotundus) have been used in oriental traditional medicines for the treatment of stomach and bowel disorders, and inflammatory diseases. Nitric oxide (NO) and superoxide (O2-) are important mediators in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. This study was undertaken to address whether the metanol (MeOH) extract of rhizomes of C. rotundus could modulate NO and O2- productions by murine macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7 cells. The MeOH extract of rhizomes of C. rotundus showed the inhibition of NO production in a dose-dependent manner by RAW 264.7 cells stimulated with interferon-gamma plus lipopolysaccharide. The inhibition of NO production by the extract was due to the suppression of iNOS protein, as well as iNOS mRNA expression, determined by Western and Northern blotting analyses, respectively. In addition, the MeOH extract suppressed the production of O2- by phorbol ester-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells in dose- and time-dependent manners. Collectively, these results suggest that the MeOH extract of rhizomes of C. rotundus could be developed as anti-inflammatory candidate for the treatment of inflammatory diseases mediated by overproduction of NO and O2-. 相似文献
