Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic molecular actions of gedunin against lipopolysaccharide-induced sepsis in experimental rats.
Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction without effective therapeutic options. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a bacterial endotoxin, is known to induce sepsis. It is associated with oxidative stress, inflammation and multiple organ failure. Gedunin (GN) is a tetranortriterpenoid isolated from the Meliaceae family. Gedunin possesses numerous pharmacological properties, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, and anticancer activities. However, the molecular anti-inflammatory mechanism of GN in sepsis has not been established.
Objectives: The aim of the study was to explore the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory molecular actions underlying the antiseptic activity of GN in an LPS-induced rat model.
Material and methods: Rats were randomized into 4 sets: group 1 (control) was given 1 mL of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) by gavage, group 2 rats were treated with LPS (100 μg/kg body weight (BW), intraperitoneally (ip.)), group 3 rats were given LPS (100 μg/kg BW, ip.)+GN (50 mg/kg BW in DMSO), and rats in the group 4 were given GN (50 mg/kg BW in DMSO) alone. We studied hepatic markers, inflammatory cytokines and antioxidants using specific biochemical kits and analyzed their statistical significance. Histopathology of liver, lungs and kidney tissues was also explored. The mRNA levels and conducted protein investigations were performed using real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blot, respectively.
Results: Our findings revealed that GN significantly (p < 0.05) inhibited oxidative stress, lipid peroxides, toxic markers, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and histological changes, thereby preventing multi-organ impairment. Additionally, GN attenuated the HMGβ1/NLRP3/NF-κB signaling pathway and prevented the degradation of Iκβα.
Conclusions: Gedunin is a promising natural antiseptic agent for LPS-induced sepsis in rats.
期刊介绍：
Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been published by the Wroclaw Medical University since 1992. Establishing the medical journal was the idea of Prof. Bogumił Halawa, Chair of the Department of Cardiology, and was fully supported by the Rector of Wroclaw Medical University, Prof. Zbigniew Knapik. Prof. Halawa was also the first editor-in-chief, between 1992-1997. The journal, then entitled "Postępy Medycyny Klinicznej i Doświadczalnej", appeared quarterly.
Prof. Leszek Paradowski was editor-in-chief from 1997-1999. In 1998 he initiated alterations in the profile and cover design of the journal which were accepted by the Editorial Board. The title was changed to Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine. Articles in English were welcomed. A number of outstanding representatives of medical science from Poland and abroad were invited to participate in the newly established International Editorial Staff.
Prof. Antonina Harłozińska-Szmyrka was editor-in-chief in years 2000-2005, in years 2006-2007 once again prof. Leszek Paradowski and prof. Maria Podolak-Dawidziak was editor-in-chief in years 2008-2016. Since 2017 the editor-in chief is prof. Maciej Bagłaj.
Since July 2005, original papers have been published only in English. Case reports are no longer accepted. The manuscripts are reviewed by two independent reviewers and a statistical reviewer, and English texts are proofread by a native speaker.
The journal has been indexed in several databases: Scopus, Ulrich’sTM International Periodicals Directory, Index Copernicus and since 2007 in Thomson Reuters databases: Science Citation Index Expanded i Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition.
In 2010 the journal obtained Impact Factor which is now 1.179 pts. Articles published in the journal are worth 15 points among Polish journals according to the Polish Committee for Scientific Research and 169.43 points according to the Index Copernicus.
Since November 7, 2012, Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine has been indexed and included in National Library of Medicine’s MEDLINE database. English abstracts printed in the journal are included and searchable using PubMed http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed.
