PG - 317-21 LID - S0378-8741(13)00302-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jep.2013.04.037 [doi] AB - ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: Canna indica L. (CI) has been widely used as a folklore medicine in tropical and subtropical areas with beneficial effects in numerous diseases, including infection, rheumatism, hepatitis, and it has also been identified as an antioxidant. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Canna indica CI ethanolic extract (CIE) on productions of nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages. In addition, the effects of CIE in high glucose (HG)-induced U937 monocytes on mRNA expressions of IL-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and regulation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways were also identified. RESULTS: CIE was found to inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators including NO, IL-1beta, and PGE2 from LPS-induced RAW 264.7 macrophages. The increases in HG-induced mRNA expressions of IL-8 and MCP-1 were also significantly inhibited by CIE. Stimulation of HG in U937 monocytes resulted in activation of p38 MAPK, ERK1/2, and JNK. However, CIE treatment significantly decreased phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, ERK1/2, and JNK. CONCLUSION: The present study demonstrated that CIE suppressed the LPS-induced inflammatory mediator production and also inhibited HG-induced inflammatory mediator expression by the regulation of MAPK pathway.
