Abstract
The anti-inflammatory effect of cyanidin-3-O-lathyroside was investigated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages by examining cell morphology and quantifying pro-inflammatory cytokine expression by qPCR. Extracellular cytokine levels and the activity of inflammatory mediators were measured using ELISA and nitric oxide (NO) assays. Immunoblotting of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway targets and immunofluorescent staining of p65 were performed to elucidate the inhibitory mechanism. Treatment with cyanidin-3-O-lathyroside consistently reduced macrophage activation, as well as the mRNA and protein expression of cytokines (including tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β), and interleukin-6 (IL-6)) and inflammatory mediators such as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). The phosphorylation of IκB-α and the nuclear translocation of p65 were also effectively inhibited by cyanidin-3-O-lathyroside at higher concentrations. Overall, the results demonstrate a dose-dependent suppression of LPS-induced inflammation in RAW 264.7 cells, supporting the potential of cyanidin-3-O-lathyroside as a natural anti-inflammatory agent.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
