摘要: Inflammation is a complex response to diverse pathological conditions, resulting in negative rather than protective effects when uncontrolled. Orientin (Ori), flavonoid component isolated from natural plants, possesses abundant properties. Thus, we aimed discover the potential therapeutic of orientin on lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) induced inflammation RAW 264.7 cells and underlying mechanisms. In our studies, evaluated Ori proinflammatory mediator production stimulated by LPS, including tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-) α, interleukin- (IL-) 6, IL-18, IL-1β, along with prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) NO. Our data indicated that dramatically inhibited levels these mediators. Consistent results, expression cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) were also reduced. Further study demonstrated such inhibitory due suppression nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway nucleotide-binding domain- (NOD-) like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation, which may contribute its anti-inflammatory effects. Together, findings show be an effective candidate for ameliorating LPS-induced inflammatory responses.
