Effect of polydatin on lipopolysaccharide-induced leucocyte chemotaxis]

OBJECTIVE: To understand the action mechanisms of polydatin (PD) in the treatment of septic shock in view of its effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced chemotaxis of the leucocytes. METHOD: Chemotactic chamber assay was used to investigate the regulative role of PD in chemotaxis of the neutrophils in response to LPS stimulation. RESULTS: The chemotactic index of normal neutrophils was 4.96+/-0.69, which was significantly increased by LPS stimulation. LPS stimulation at the doses of 10, 100, and 1000 ng/ml resulted in the elevation of the chemotactic index of the neutrophils to 8.94+/-1.73, 10.31+/-1.180 and 7.12+/-1.46 respectively (P<0.05), an effect potently reversed by the application of PD at the concentrations ranging from 0.008 to 0.8 mg/ml, of which 0.08 mg/ml was the most effective concentration that produced a decrease of the chemotactic index to 1.95+/-0.17. In addition, PD exhibited obvious anti-LPS effect after treatment for 5 to 60 min (P<0.05), while showing no influence on the chemotaxis of normal neutrophils (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: PD can regulate neutrophil chemotaxis in inflammatory reactions and may play a crucial role in the treatment of infections and inflammation.
