Galangin inhibits the pyroptosis of macrophages mediated by NOD-like receptor proteins 3
Objective To investigate the effect of Galangin on pyroptosis of bone marrow derived macrophages(BMDMs).Methods BMDMs were cultured in vitro and divided into blank control group,model group and Galangin group with different concentrations.Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)and adenosine triphosphate(ATP)were used to construct the pyroptosis model.The effect of different concentrations of Galangin on the proliferation of BMDMs was detected by cell counting Kit-8(CCK-8).The level of cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-1 p10 subunit(caspase-1 p10),interleukin-1β(IL-1β)in supernatant and intracellular nucleotide NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)were detected by Western blotting.IL-1β in supernatant was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The cell death was observed by propidium iodide(PI)staining.High-throughput sequencing was used to compare the gene expression in the model group and Galangin groups at 20 μmol/L.Results There was no statistically significant difference between the 5,10,20,40,60,80 μmol/L Galangin groups on the proliferation level of BMDMs(all P>0.05),indicating that no significant effect of Galangin at 5,10,20,40,60,80 μmol/L was observed on the proliferation of BMDMs.So we selected Galangin at 5,10,20 μmol/L and treatment for 1,2 and 4 hours as the effects of different concentrations and time on the pyroptosis of BMDMs.Compared with blank control group,the expression of caspase-1 p10 and mature IL-1β protein and IL-1β in supernatant in model group were significantly increased(all P<0.05).Compared with model group,the expression of caspase-1 p10 and mature IL-1β protein and IL-1β in supernatant of Galangin at 5,10 and 20 μmol/L were significantly decreased[IL-1β protein expression(gray value):0.155±0.006,0.113±0.006,0.111±0.007 vs.1.000±0.000,caspase-1 p10 protein expression(gray value):0.207±0.044,0.160±0.008,0.082±0.008 vs.1.000±0.000,IL-1β(μg/L):99.80±10.36,85.21±8.78,26.53±4.56 vs.494.10±35.47,all P<0.05].There was no significant difference between the different concentration groups(all P>0.05),but with the extension of treatment time of Galangin,the inhibitory effect was enhanced.The inhibitory effect of Galangin at 20 μmol/L for 4 hours was the most obvious[IL-1β protein expression(gray value):0.186±0.004 vs.1.000±0.000,caspase-1 p10 protein expression(gray value):0.247±0.009 vs.1.000±0.000,IL-1β(μg/L):173.80±10.56 vs.653.80±76.02,all P<0.05].Treatment with 20 μmol/L Galangin for 4 hours could reduce the number of pyroptotic cell deaths(number of view:23.00±3.61 vs.67.67±15.63,P<0.05)and inhibited the expression of NLRP3 protein(gray value:0.178±0.025 vs.0.406±0.066,P<0.05).High-throughput sequencing showed that,compared with the model group,Galangin down-regulated the genes of Nlrp3,Nod2,IL-1β and up-regulated genes of Skp2(also known as Fbxl1),Fbxl20,Fbxl4,Fbxo32 and Fbxw7.Conclusion Galangin inhibited pyroptosis mediated by NLRP3 inflammasome in macrophages.
