Abstract:
:Dihydrofisetin is a flavanonol derived from some edible wild herbs and traditional Chinese medicines. It has been found to possess many biological activities. However, the anti-inflammatory potential of Dihydrofisetin remains uncharacterized. The aim of the present study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory activity of Dihydrofisetin and its underlying mechanisms. We found that Dihydrofisetin dose-dependently inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced productions of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in RAW 264.7 macrophages, probably through suppressing the protein expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). The expressions of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP-1) were also suppressed. We further demonstrated that Dihydrofisetin inhibited the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) pathway and phosphorylation of IκB-α whereas upregulated the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). The in vivo carrageenan-induced mice paw edema study also indicated that treatment with 100 mg/kg of Dihydrofisetin could significantly inhibit carrageenan induced paw edema, decrease the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and MDA, and increase the activity of GSH-Px in paw tissues. Taken together, Dihydrofisetin may act as a natural agent for treating inflammatory diseases by targeting MAPK, NF-κB and HO-1 pathways.
