A hot-water extract of Sanguisorba officinalis ameliorates endotoxin-induced septic shock by inhibiting inflammasome activation.
Microbiology and Immunology 2018 January
The inflammasome is a multiprotein signaling complex that mediates inflammatory innate immune responses through caspase 1 activation and subsequent IL-1β secretion. However, because its aberrant activation often leads to inflammatory diseases, targeting the inflammasome holds promise for the treatment of inflammation-related diseases. In this study, it was found that a hot-water extract of Sanguisorba officinalis (HSO) suppresses inflammasome activation triggered by adenosine 5'-triphosphate, nigericin, microbial pathogens, and double stranded DNA in bone marrow-derived macrophages. HSO was found to significantly suppress IL-1β production in a dose-dependent manner; this effect correlated well with small amounts of caspase 1 and little ASC pyroptosome formation in HSO-treated cells. The anti-inflammatory activity of HSO was further confirmed in a mouse model of endotoxin-induced septic shock. Oral administration of HSO reduced IL-1β titers in the serum and peritoneal cavity, increasing the survival rate. Taken together, our results suggest that HSO is an inhibits inflammasome activation through nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat pyrin domain 3, nucleotide-binding domain and leucine-rich repeat caspase recruitment domain 4 and absent in melanoma 2 pathways, and may be useful for treatment of inflammasome-mediated diseases.
