Abstract
Background: This study aims to explore the protective role of JB-V-60-a novel synthetic derivative of decur-sin-against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation.
Methods: We examined the effects of JB-V-60 on heme oxygenase (HO)-1, cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in LPS-activated human pulmonary artery endothelial cells (HPAECs). Additionally, we assessed its effects on iNOS, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interleukin (IL)-1β in LPS-exposed mice.
Results: JB-V-60 enhanced HO-1 levels, inhibited NF-κB activation, reduced COX-2/PGE2 and iNOS/NO concentra-tions, and lowered phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1. It also promoted the translocation of Nrf2 into the nucleus, allowing its binding to antioxidant response elements and resulting in reduced IL-1β in LPS-stimulated HPAECs. The reduction in iNOS/NO levels by JB-V-60 was reversed when HO-1 was inhibited via RNAi. In the animal model, JB-V-60 sig-nificantly decreased iNOS expression in lung tissues and TNF-α levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid.
Conclusions: These findings highlight the anti-inflammatory effects of JB-V-60 and its potential as a treat-ment for inflammatory disorders.
