  • Abstract:Aim of the study:The underlying anti-inflammatory mechanisms of M. hortensis remain relatively unexplored. Therefore, we studied the anti-inflammatory effects of M. hortensis and the molecular mechanisms of its ethanol extracts (Mh-EE) both in vitro and in vivo. Materials and methods:Nitric oxide (NO) production was assessed using Griess reagent, while cell viability of RAW264.7 cell and HEK293T cells were determined via the MTT assay. Constituent analysis of Mh-EE using GC/MS-MS and HPLC, and mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines was measured through PCR and RT-PCR. Protein levels were analyzed using western blotting. The thermal stability of Mh-EE was evaluated by CESTA. Lastly, a gastritis in vivo model was induced by HCl/EtOH, and protein expression levels were measured using western blotting. Results:Mh-EE significantly reduced NO production in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells without substantially affecting cell viability. Additionally, Mh-EE decreased the expression of proinflammatory factors, such as iNOS, IL-1β and COX2. Furthermore, Mh-EE downregulated TLR4 expression, altered MyD88 recruitment, and suppressed phosphorylation of Syk, IKKα, IκBα and AKT. Simultaneously, Mh-EE also attenuated NF-κB signaling in HCl/EtOH-induced mice. Conclusions:Mh-EE exerts anti-inflammatory effects by suppressing p-Syk in the NF-κB pathway, and it has potential as a novel treatment agent for inflammatory diseases.
