“…Furthermore, p38 deficient mice showed LPS-induced cytokine production and remained susceptible to inflammatory diseases [10]. Additionally, several evidence suggest that hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1), which is tightly regulated by the activation of MAPK-mediated nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling, has a crucial role in inhibiting the production of ROS and pro-inflammatory cytokines in LPS-stimulated macrophages [11,12]. Therefore, scavenging of ROS and activating cellular anti-oxidation systems are thought to be strategies for defeating inflammation.…”

As part of our continuous effort to find potential anti-inflammatory agents from endophytic fungi, a Fusarium solani strain, isolated from the plant Aponogeton undulatus Roxb., was investigated. Cerevisterol (CRVS) was identified from endophytic fungi, a Fusarium solani strain, and moreover exhibited anti-inflammatory activity. However, the underlying mode of action remains poorly understood. The aim of this study is to reveal the potential mechanisms of CRVS against inflammation on a molecular level in LPS-activated RAW 264.7 peritoneal macrophage cells. CRVS was isolated from F. solani and characterized based on spectral data analysis. The MTT assay was performed to measure cell viability in CRVS-treated macrophages. Anti-inflammatory activity was assessed by measurement of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels, as well as the production of various cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and -6 (IL-6) in LPS-stimulated macrophages. RT-PCR and immunoblotting analyses were done to examine the expression of various inflammatory response genes. A reporter gene assay was conducted to measure the level of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and activator protein-1 (AP-1) transactivation. CRVS suppresses the LPS-induced production of NO and PGE2, which is a plausible mechanism for this effect is by reducing the expression of iNOS and COX-2. CRVS also decreases the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β. CRVS halted the nuclear translocation of NF-κB by blocking the phosphorylation of inhibitory protein κBα (IκBα) and suppressing NF-κB transactivation. The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) signaling pathways are also suppressed. CRVS treatment also inhibited the transactivation of AP-1 and the phosphorylation of c-Fos. Furthermore, CRVS could induce the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) by down-regulating Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap-1) and up-regulating hemeoxygenases-1 (HO-1) expression. The results suggest that CRVS acts as a natural agent for treating inflammatory diseases by targeting an MAPK, NF-κB, AP-1, and Nrf2-mediated HO-1 signaling cascade.

“…Based on the ethnopharmacological evidence of DA, many researchers have investigated its protective effect against bone loss [21,22]. Recent studies have shown other properties of DA such as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects [23,24,25,26]. DA has protective effects against collagen-induced arthritis in mice amd LPS-induced inflammation in RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages [23,26].…”

Dipsacus asperoides C. Y. Cheng et T. M. Ai (DA) has been used in China as a traditional medicine to treat lumbar and knee pain, liver dysfunction, and fractures. We explored the suppressive effect of DA on allergic asthma using an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma model. In the asthma model, female Balb/c mice were sensitized to OVA on day 0 and 14 to boost immune responses and then exposed to OVA solution by using an ultrasonic nebulizer on days 21 to 23. DA (20 and 40 mg/kg) was administered to mice by oral gavage on days 18 to 23. Methacholine responsiveness was determined on day 24 using a plethysmography. On day 25, we collected bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, serum, and lung tissue from animals under anesthesia. DA treatment effectively inhibited methacholine responsiveness, inflammatory cell infiltration, proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-5 and IL-13, and immunoglobulin (Ig) E in OVA-induced asthma model. Reductions in airway inflammation and mucus hypersecretion, accompanied by decreases in the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and the phosphorylation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB), were also observed. Our results indicated that DA attenuated the asthmatic response, and that this attenuation was closely linked to NF-κB suppression. Thus, this study suggests that DA is a potential therapeutic for allergic asthma.

“…JNK and p38 strengthen the translation of TNF-α mRNA and maintain the stability of the transcriptional process. Moreover, ERK1/2 promotes the transport of TNF-α mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm [37,38]. EP2 treatment promoted the phosphorylation of JNK, ERK1/2, and p38, which was supported by the increased level of TNF-α.…”

The water-soluble polysaccharide EP2, from Enteromorpha prolifera, belongs to the group of polysaccharides known as glucuronoxylorhamnan, which mainly contains glucuronic acid (GlcA), xylose (Xyl), and rhamnose (Rha). The aim of this study was to detect the immunomodulatory effects of EP2 on RAW 264.7 macrophages and cyclophosphamide (CYP)-induced immunosuppression mouse models. The cells were treated with EP2 for different time periods (0, 0.5, 1, 3, and 6 h). The results showed that EP2 promoted nitric oxide production and up-regulated the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α, in a time-dependent manner. Furthermore, we found that EP2-activated iNOS, COX2, and NLRP3 inflammasomes, and the TLR4/MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway played an important role. Moreover, EP2 significantly increased the body weight, spleen index, thymus index, inflammatory cell counts, and the levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in CYP-induced immunosuppression mouse models. These results indicate that EP2 might be a potential immunomodulatory drug and provide the scientific basis for the comprehensive utilization and evaluation of E. prolifera in future applications.
