ABSTRACT

Aim To explore the anti-inflammatory effect of taurolithocholic acid (TLCA) through network pharmacology-based analyses, to verify with in vitro macrophage study and to reveal the possible mechanisms. Methods The potential targets of TLCA were acquired from public database, and then the protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks against inflammation were constructed and visualized by using Cytoscape. Gene ontology (GO) analyses and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment were performed. The binding activity of TLCA and its target (TGR5) was evaluated through molecular docking analysis. Lastly, the results of the network analysis were confirmed by lipopolysaccharide and interferon-γ induced RAW264.7 cells. Results There were 87 anti-inflammatory potential targets were screened. GO analysis revealed gene functions were mainly involved in regulation of inflammatory response, membrane raft and protein tyrosine kinase. The results of KEGG pathway analysis suggested that PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, human cytomegalovirus infection might be the critical pathways of TLCA against inflammation. The results of in vitro experiments showed that TLCA decreased the LPS and IFN-γ induced inflammatory response in RAW 264.7 macrophages. Furthermore, the expression of TGR5 protein increased after TLCA treatment. Conclusions The potential therapeutic targets of TLCA against inflammation are revealed through network pharmacology analysis. Our results indicate that TLCA might regulate key inflammatory markers through the membrane receptor TGR5.

ABSTRACT

Aim To investigate the protective effect of hesperidin (HSD) on the injury of mouse pancreatic beta cells induced by high glucose and fatty acid and the underlying mechanism. Methods MIN6 cells were treated with high glucose and fatty acid after pretreatment of HSD. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) and Hoechst 33258 fluorescence staining were used to determine the proliferation and apoptosis of MIN6 cells. Western blot was used to detect the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins Bcl-2 and Bax. RT-PCR was used to detect the expressions of inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β). ELISA was used to test the insulin secretion of pancreatic islets. Results High glucose and fatty acid decreased the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, increased the expression of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1β and inhibited the insulin secretion of mouse pancreatic islets. After pretreatment of HSD, the cell viability and Bcl-2/Bax ratio of MIN6 increased, the expressions of inflammatory factors TNF-α and IL-1β decreased, and the insulin secretion of mouse pancreatic islets increased. Conclusions HSD could resist the apoptosis of mouse pancreatic islet B cell line MIN6 induced by high fat and high glucose, reduce the secretion of inflammatory factors and improve the insulin secretion of pancreatic islets.
