Improvement of hyperglycemia in a murine model of insulin resistance and high glucose- and inflammasome-mediated IL-1β expressions in macrophages by silymarin.

Abstract:

:Macrophages and inflammasome pathway are involved in high-glucose toxicity and development of insulin resistance. Silymarin (SMR) was known to modulate glucose homeostasis and reduce inflammation. However, it is still unknown whether SMR possess anti-hyperglycemic effects in diabetic-like knockout mice (Hnf-1αkin/-/Ins.cre mice) with insulin resistance and also unclear how SMR regulates LPS induced stress markers and pro-inflammatory cytokines under stresses of high glucose (HG) or NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Current results show that oral administration of SMR (100 mg/kg) reduced hyperglycemia in the mouse model of maturity-onset diabetes of the young type 3-like mice. In cultured macrophages, SMR (5-20 μg/ml) reduces high glucose (HG)-enhanced expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase, nitric oxide generation stimulated by LPS; however, no effects on COX-2 expressions. The enhanced interleukin-1β (ΙL-1β) secretions in the presence of HG or palmitate were also significantly down regulated by SMR in dose-dependent manner in LPS-treated macrophages. Such observations may result from the decreased extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 phosphorylation, while without affecting protein kinase C-α phosphorylation and nuclear factor-κB activation. These findings together show that SMR acts as a protector against HG-related stresses not only by lowering hyperglycemia but also suppressing HG- and inflammasome-mediated IL-1β expressions to improve insulin resistance.
