To investigate the protective effect and intervention mechanism of arctigenin on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)combined with adenosine triphosphate(ATP)-stimulated pyroptosis in RAW264.7 cells.
CCK8 assay was used to detect the effects of different concentrations of arctigenin on the viability of RAW264.7 cells;CCK8 assay was used to detect the effects of intervention of arctigenin(20,40,80μmol/L)on the viability of RAW264.7 cells induced by LPS+ATP;LDH release was used to detect the cellular membrane damage;ELISA was used to detect tumour necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6)and IL-1βin cell supernatant;Western blotting was used to detect intracellular NLRP3,Caspase-1 p20,Caspase-1 p45,GSDMD-N and GSDMD-FL protein expression;the number of positive cells stained with propidium iodide(PI)was observed by forward and inverted fluorescence microscopy.
Arctigenin concentration less than 160μmol/L had little effect on cell viability;arctigenin(20,40,80μmol/L)intervention reversed the LPS+ATP-induced decrease in cell viability;arctigenin reduced LPS+ATP-induced release of LDH from pyroptosis cells as well as the number of PI-positive cells;arctigenin reduced LPS+ATP-induced LDH release from pyroptosis cells as well as the number of PI-positive cells;arctigenin inhibited the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1βby pyroptosis cells;arctigenin inhibited the expression of NLRP3,Caspase-1 p20,Caspase-1 p45,GSDMD-N and GSDMD-FL proteins in pyroptosis cells that inhibited the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome.
Arctigenin inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation to improve pyroptosis and alleviate inflammatory responses.
