Lipophilic amino alcohols reduces carrageenan-induced paw edema and anti-OVA DTH in BALB/c mice

Abstract

The inflammation process is a coordinated response of the organism related to immune response with release of pro-inflammatory substances, as nitric oxide, TNF-α and IL-1β. In this work, a series of lipophilic amino alcohols were evaluated on RAW264.7 and primary macrophages for the modulation of nitric oxide and TNF-α. The most potent compounds were submitted to the treatment of BALB/c mice and evaluation of the carrageenan-induced paw edema and TNF-α and IL1-β release in the paws and anti-OVA delayed type hypersensitivity reaction. RAW264.7 and primary macrophages were incubated in the presence of amino alcohols at different concentrations (1, 0.5, 0.05 and 0.005 μg mL(-1)). All tested compounds were not cytotoxic, however the inhibition of NO and TNF-α were observed only in RAW264.7 cultures. The NO production were reduced in 100% for all compounds, but only the compounds 4a and 4b expressively reduced the TNF-α release (67% and 92% respectively). On the carrageenan-induced paw edema, the compound 4b treatment showed reduction of edema, TNF-α and IL-1β as efficient as dexamethasone treatment. Meanwhile, the compound 4a treatment showed only slight reduction of paw edema. In the anti-OVA DTH reaction, both compounds showed reduction in the paw edema as effective as dexamethasone. In function of the observed results in vitro and in the acute and anti-OVA inflammation of mice paw edema compound 4b showed promissory anti-inflammatory properties.

Exosomes released by granulocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells attenuate DSS-induced colitis in mice

“…DTH was induced in mice by challenging the footpad of previously sensitized mice with OVA as described previously [ 45 ]. In brief, C57BL/6 mice were sensitized by intradermal injections of 1 mg/ml CFA-emulsified OVA peptide (grade V) in a final volume of 200 μl at the tail base and back.…”

“…The intraplantar CG injection also induces the edema formation in the paw and it has been fully characterized in the past showing acute inflammation by vasodilatation, exudation of protein-rich fluid and cell migration, primarily neutrophils, into the side of injury [24,29,30]. In this study, we have attempted to demonstrate the effects of CT on the CG-induced mouse paw edema and the results showed that all doses of CT presented antiedematogenic activity.…”

“…This activation facilitates the translocation of NF–κB into the nucleus, where it binds with its response element, which then activates the expression of genes of several proinflammatory mediators [ 20 ]. During the state of chronic inflammation, these proinflammatory mediators are produced abundantly, initiating pathogenesis of the onset of numerous inflammatory disorders [ 21 ]. Moreover, LPS-stimulated macrophages lead to the phosphorylation of MAPK signaling proteins, including ERK1/2, JNK, and p38, which result in excessive secretion and expression of inflammatory mediators and proteins, including NO, TNF-α, and IL-6, as well as the expression of iNOS and COX-2.…”
