Inflammatory Effect

Artepillin C (3,5-diprenyl-4-hydroxycinnamic acid) is the main bioactive component of Brazilian green propolis. The aim of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of artepillin C on LPS + IFN-γ- or PMA-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. The cell viability was evaluated by MTT and LDH assays. The radical scavenging ability was determined using DPPH•and ABTS•+. ROS and RNS generation was analyzed by chemiluminescence. NO concentration was detected by the Griess reaction. The release of various cytokines by activated RAW264.7 cells was measured in the culture supernatants using a multiplex bead array system based on xMAP technology. NF-κB activity was confirmed by the ELISA-based TransAM NF-κB kit. At the tested concentrations, the compound did not decrease the cell viability and did not cause the cytotoxicity. Artepillin C exerted strong antioxidant activity, significantly inhibited the production of ROS, RNS, NO, and cytokine IL-1β, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-9, IL-12p40, IL-13, IL-17, TNF-α, G-CSF, GM-CSF, MCP-1, MIP-1α, MIP-1β, RANTES, and KC, and markedly blocked NF-κB expression in stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. Our findings provide new insights for understanding the mechanism involved in the anti-inflammatory effect of artepillin C and support the application of Brazilian green propolis in complementary and alternative medicine.

Inflammatory Effect

Among cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis remains the first cause of death in the United States of America and Europe, as it leads to myocardial infarction or stroke. The high prevalence of heart diseases is due to the difficulty in diagnosing atherosclerosis, since it can develop for decades before symptoms occur, and to the complexity of the treatment since targets are also important components of the host defenses. The antidiabetics thiazolidinediones, among which is rosiglitazone (RSG), have demonstrated anti-atherosclerotic effect in animal models, and are therefore promising candidates for the improvement of atherosclerosis management. Nevertheless, their administration is hindered by the insurgence of severe side effects. To overcome this limitation, rosiglitazone has been encapsulated into polymeric nanoparticles, which permit efficient delivery to its nuclear target, and selective delivery to the site of action, allowing the reduction of unwanted effects. In the present work, we describe nanoparticle formulation using polylactic acid (PLA) coupled to polyethylene glycol (PEG), their characterization, and their behavior on RAW264.7 macrophages, an important target in atherosclerosis treatment. RSG nanocarriers showed no toxicity on cells at all concentrations tested, an anti-inflammatory effect in a dose-dependent manner, up to 5 times more efficient than the free molecule, and an increased RSG uptake which is consistent with the effect shown. These biodegradable nanoparticles represent a valid tool to be further investigated for the treatment of atherosclerosis.
