【 摘 要 】

The control of inflammation, which arises from complex biological responses to harmful stimuli, is an important determinant of both clinical outcomes and patient comfort. However, the side effects of many current therapies such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs mean that new safe treatments are required. We previously reported that 12.5 µg/ml hydroxytyrosol (HT) suppressed gene expression of the inducible nitric oxide (NO) synthase (iNOS) isoform and NO production, in mouse peritoneal macrophages treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), where nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) gene expression was not altered. The present study evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of various concentrations of HT in LPS-induced RAW264.7 mouse macrophages. HT suppressed NF-κB signaling and downregulated LPS-mediated expression of iNOS, cyclooxygenase-2, tumor necrosis factor alpha, and interleukin-1β at 12.5 µg/ml, resulting in reduced production of NO and prostaglandin E2. At lower concentrations, HT seemed to act via another signaling pathway to regulate the inflammatory response. In contrast, HT did not suppress LPS-induced expression of phosphorylated p44/42 mitogen-activated protein kinase. This study showed that HT had anti-inflammatory effects on LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. HT is already available as a nutritional supplement and no toxic effects have been reported. Hence, HT represents a potential novel anti-inflammatory agent.
