OBJECTIVE
To study the anti-inflammatory effect of petroleum ether extract from Melilotus suaveolens Ledeb.
METHODS
Inflammatory cell model was constructed by LPS acting on the RAW264.7 cell line. The expression and distribution of NF-kappaB were detected using immunocytochemical method. The expression of mRNA and protein of Heme oxygenase 1(HO-1) were detected by real-time PCR and Western blot.
RESULTS
The immunocytochemical analysis showed that the cytoplasm stained to brown presented NF-kappaB inactivation after the intervention of petroleum ether extract while the cell nucleus stained to brown presented NF-kappaB activation after the only intervention of LPS. The expression of HO-1 mRNA was significantly enhanced by the extract in a dose-dependent manner, and the expression of HO-1 protein was markedly enhanced too.
CONCLUSIONS
The petroleum ether extract from Melilotus suaveolens Ledeb can resist inflammation by inhibiting the activation of proinflammatory factor NF-kappaB and enhancing the expression of anti-inflammatory factor HO-1.
