Cyanidin-3-O-Glucoside Attenuates Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Inflammation in Human Corneal Epithelial Cells by Inducing Let-7b-5p-Mediated HMGA2/PI3K/Akt Pathway.

Abstract：

:The bacterial keratitis causes viability loss and apoptosis in the corneal epithelial cells (CECs). The cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (C3G) benefits visual system and also possess anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory potentials. In the current study, the effects of C3G on human CECs (HCECs) against bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced disorders were assessed, and the mechanism driving the protective effect was explored by focusing on let-7b-5p-mediated HMGA2/PI3K/Akt pathway. The HCECs were incubated LPS of P. aeruginosa to induce inflammation and apoptosis, and then treated with C3G. The changes in cell viability, apoptosis, and inflammation were detected. Moreover, the effects of LPS and C3G on let-7b-5p level and HMGA2/PI3K/Akt pathway activity were also assessed. Thereafter, the HCECs were further transfected with let-7b-5p inhibitor to confirm its role in the vision-protective effects of C3G. The interaction between let-7b-5p and HMGA2 was verified with dual luciferase assay. The LPS treatment suppressed viability and induced apoptosis and inflammation in HCECs, which was associated with the down-regulated let-7b-5p level and up-regulated HMGA2/PI3K/Akt pathway activity. The impairments of LPS on HCECs were attenuated by C3G: the compound increased cell viability and inhibited apoptosis and inflammation. The C3G also induced let-7b-5p level and inactivated HMGA2/PI3K/Akt pathway. However, after the inhibition of let-7b-5p, the protective effects of C3G on HCECs against LPS were blocked. The results of dual luciferase assay showed the direct binding let-7b-5p to the promoter of HMGA2 gene. It was inferred that the C3G could ameliorate the LPS-induced disorders in HCECs. The effect depended on the induced level of let-7b-5p, which then inhibited HMGA2/PI3K/Akt pathway.
