TIIA attenuates LPS-induced mouse endometritis by suppressing the NF-κB signaling pathway

Publication: Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology
6 May 2015

Abstract

Endometritis is one of the main diseases that harms the dairy cow industry. Tanshinone IIA (TIIA), a fat-soluble alkaloid isolated from Salviae miltiorrhizae, has been reported to have potent anti-inflammatory properties. However, the anti-inflammatory effects of TIIA on a mouse model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced endometritis remain to be elucidated. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of TIIA on LPS-induced mouse endometritis. TIIA was intraperitoneally injected 1 h before and 12 h after perfusion of LPS into the uterus. A histological examination was then performed, and the concentrations of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and nitric oxide (NO) in the uterine tissue were determined. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in a homogenate of the uterus were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The extent of phosphorylation of IκBα and p65 was detected by Western blotting. TIIA markedly reduced the infiltration of neutrophils, suppressed MPO activity and the concentration of NO, and attenuated the expression of TNF-α and IL-1β. Furthermore, TIIA inhibited the phosphorylation of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) p65 subunit and the degradation of its inhibitor IκBα. All the results suggest that TIIA has strong anti-inflammatory effects on LPS-induced mouse endometritis.

Résumé

L’endométrite est une des principales maladies qui nuit à l’industrie laitière. On rapporte que le transhinone IIA (TIIA), un alcaloïde liposoluble isolé de Salviae miltiorrhizae, possède des propriétés anti-inflammatoires puissantes. Cependant, les effets anti-inflammatoires du TIIA dans un modèle d’endométrite induite chez la souris par le lipopolysaccharide (LPS) restent à élucider. Le but de l’étude présente était d’examiner les effets du TIIA sur l’endométrite induite par le LPS chez la souris. Le TIIA a été injecté par voie intra-péritonéale 1 heure avant et 12 h après une perfusion de LPS dans l’utérus. Un examen histologique a alors été réalisé et les concentrations de myéloperoxydase (MPO) et d’oxyde nitrique (NO) dans le tissu utérin ont été déterminées. Les niveaux de facteur nécrosant des tumeurs-α (TNF-α) et d’interleukine-1β (IL-1β) dans un homogénat utérin ont été détectés par essai enzymatique ELISA. Le degré de phosphorylation de IκB-α et de p65 a été détecté par buvardage Western. Le TIIA réduisait de façon marquée l’infiltration des neutrophiles, diminuait l’activité de la MPO et la concentration de NO et atténuait l’expression de TNF-α et d’IL-1β. De plus, le TIIA inhibait la phosphorylation de la sous-unité p65 du facteur nucléaire kappa-B (NF-κB) et la dégradation de son inhibiteur IκBα. Tous ces résultats suggèrent que le TIIA exerce de puissants effets anti-inflammatoires sur l’endométrite induite par le LPS chez la souris. [Traduit par la Rédaction]
