Effects of extracts from Euphorbiae Semen before and after frosting on the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway
To investigate the effects of the extracts from Euphorbiae Semen before and after frosting on the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB)/NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) signaling pathway.
Methods
2
According to the body weight
42 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into a blank control group
Euphorbiae Semen low-
medium-
and high- dose groups (10.49
20.98
and 41.96 g/kg
respectively) and Euphorbiae Semen Pulveratum low-
medium-
and high- dose groups (10.49
20.98
and 41.96 g/kg
respectively)
with six mice in each group. Mice received continuous gavage for 7 d. The contents of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum of mice were determined by enzyme linked immune sorbent assay. The protein and the mRNA expression of TLR4
NF-κB p65
and NLRP3 in colon tissues of mice were detected by Western blotting and real-time PCR. According to the body weight
30 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into a blank control group
Euphorbiae Semen group
Euphorbiae Semen + TAK-242 group
Euphorbiae Semen Pulveratum group
and Euphorbiae Semen Pulveratum+ TAK-242 group
with six mice in each group. The administration groups were respectively given 20.96 g/kg of Euphorbiae Semen or Euphorbiae Semen Pulveratum
and the continuous gavage time was 7 d. The Euphorbiae Semen + TAK-242 group and Euphorbiae Semen Pulveratum+ TAK-242 group were intraperitoneally injected with TAK242 (3 mg/kg) 30 min before and on Day 1
5
6
and 7 of administration. The protein expression of NLRP3 and NF-κB p65
and the mRNA expression of NLRP3 and IL-1β in colon tissues of mice were assessed by Western blotting and real-time PCR.
Results
2
Euphorbiae Semen not only significantly promoted the release of IL-1β and TNF-α
but it also significantly increased the protein and the mRNA expression of TLR4
NF-κB p65 and NLRP3 (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). However
upregulation of IL-1β and TNF-α secretion
and the protein and mRNA expressions of TLR4
NF-κB p65
NLRP3 were decreased by Euphorbiae Semen Pulveratum (
P
<
0.05
P
<
0.01). NLRP3 and NF-κB p65 protein expression and NLRP3 and IL-1β mRNA expression were inhibited after the intervention with the TLR4 inhibitor TAK-242 (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion
2
Euphorbiae Semen could induce an inflammatory response of the colon tissue by activating the TLR4-mediated NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway
thus promoting the release of TNF-α and IL-1β. However
upregulation of the TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway and pro-inflammatory factor secretion were significantly alleviated by Euphorbiae Semen Pulveratum
indicating that the detoxification mechanism of Euphorbiae Semen frosting may be related to the decreased ability to cause inflammation and the intervention of TLR4/NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway.
