OBJECTIVE To explore the characteristics of the inhibitory effect of low concentrations of deguelin on the proliferation of activated T cells. METHODS Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated by Ficoll-Hypaque density gradient centrifugation, human T cells were purified using immunomagnetic beads, and T cells were activated with Anti-CD3/CD28 antibodies. Flow cytometry was used to detect T cell survival rate, proliferation index, apoptosis progression, CD25 expression level, and cell division ratio; ELISA was used to detect cytokines IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-17, and IFN-γ secretion levels. RESULTS Low concentrations of deguelin inhibit T cell proliferation activated by anti-human CD3/CD28 antibodies, with an IC50 of (73±12) nmol·L-1, and a concentration of 400 nmol·L-1 has no cytotoxicity. Low concentrations of deguelin do not affect the expression of CD25 and secretion of IL-2 in activated T cells but increases the proportion of G0/G1 phase cells. Low concentrations of deguelin promote the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-4 and inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-17, and IFN-γ in T cells. CONCLUSION Low concentrations of deguelin significantly inhibit T cell proliferation in the G0/G1 phase and effectively suppress the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, suggesting its potential role in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.
