Anti-inflammatory Effect of Self-assembling Glycol-Split Glycosaminoglycan-Stearylamine Conjugates in Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Macrophages.

Abstract:

:Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) play important roles in various biological processes such as cell adhesion and signal transduction, as well as promote anti-inflammatory activity. We previously revealed that glycol-split heparin (HP)-aliphatic amine conjugates form self-assembled nanoparticles and suppress the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-1β in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages much more strongly than native HP (J. CONTROL:Release, 194, 2014, Babazada et al.). Considering that HP is not the only GAG to have anti-inflammatory activity, the present study was initiated to examine whether conjugation of GAGs with aliphatic amines is generally effective in their activity augmentation against LPS-stimulated macrophages. We newly synthesized the stearylamine conjugates of chondroitin sulfate (CS), hyaluronic acid (HA), and low-molecular-weight heparin (LH), and investigated the effect of the position and degree of sulfation and molecular weight of GAGs on their anti-inflammatory activity. All of the conjugates formed self-assembled nanoparticles in aqueous solution. The IC50 value for suppression of TNF-α production from the macrophages was the smallest with the derivative of LH, followed by HP, CS, and HA. The degree of sulfation appeared to be important in determining their anti-inflammatory activity, which would correspond to previous results using the derivatives of site-selectively desulfated HP. Comparison of HP and LH derivatives revealed that fractionated smaller heparin has greater anti-inflammatory activity.
