Imperatorin suppresses IL-1β-induced iNOS expression via inhibiting ERK-MAPK/AP1 signaling in primary human OA chondrocytes.

Abstract:

:Joint inflammation is a key player in the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA). Imperatorin, a plant-derived small molecule has been reported to have anti-inflammatory properties; however, its effect on chondrocytes is not known. Here, we investigated the effects of Imperatorin on interleukin-1β (IL-1β) induced expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and nitric oxide production in primary human OA chondrocytes and cartilage explants culture under pathological conditions and explored the associated signaling pathways. We pretreated chondrocytes or explants with Imperatorin (50 μM) followed by IL-1β (1 ng/ml), and the culture supernatant was used to determine the levels of nitrite production by Griess assay and chondrocytes were harvested to prepare cell lysate or RNA for gene expression analysis of iNOS by Western blot or qPCR and in explants by immunohistochemistry (IHC). Pretreatment of primary chondrocytes and cartilage explants with Imperatorin suppressed IL-1β induced expression of iNOS and NO production. Imperatorin blocked the IL-1β-induced phosphorylation of ERK-MAPK/AP1 signaling pathway to suppress iNOS expression. The role of ERK in the regulation of iNOS expression was verified by using ERK inhibitor. Interestingly, we also found that Imperatorin binds to iNOS protein and inhibits its activity in vitro. Our data demonstrated that Imperatorin possess strong anti-inflammatory activity and may be developed as a therapeutic agent for the management of OA.
