  • Abstract:Sophora flavescens Ait. (SFA), an extensively utilized herb for the treatment of fevers, inflammatory disorders, ulcers and skin diseases related to bur, contains oxymatrine (OMT) as its principal active constituent. OMT exerts regulatory effects over inflammation, oxidative stress and apoptosis. Neutrophils, critical regulators of the inflammation response, have not been thoroughly elucidated regarding the protective properties and underlying mechanisms of OMT-mediated anti-inflammation. This study was aim to explore the protective effect of OMT on neutrophils under inflammatory conditions and delve into its potential mechanism. Leveraging the advantages of zebrafish, an animal model with a real-time dynamic observation system, we established an in vivo caudal fin wound model and a copper sulfate induced-inflammation model in zebrafish line Tg (mpx:GFP). The result revealed that OMT significantly attenuated neutrophil migration, upregulated the mRNA expression levels of JNK, casp3, mapk14a, mapkapk2a and map2k1 damaged by zebrafish caudal fin wound model, and downregulated mRNA expression levels of JNK, casp3, mapk14a, mapkapk2a and map2k1 in the copper sulfate injury model. In vitro experiments demonstrated that OMT modulated the chemotaxis response of primary neutrophils from mice, enhanced phagocytosis, reduced oxidative stress and alleviated inflammation level. We hypothesize that the OMT may exert its anti-inflammatory effects by regulating primary neutrophils through the MAPK signaling pathway.
