LID - 10.3390/antiox11091765 [doi] LID - 1765 AB - In this study, we examined the ameliorative effects of 8-epi-7-deoxyloganic acid (DLA), an iridoid glycoside, on oxidative stress and inflammation in both LPS-stimulated macrophages and mice with carrageenan-induced inflammation. DLA decreased oxidative stress through the up-regulation of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) via the activation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), leading to the suppression of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide generation (NO). In addition, DLA inhibited the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and the nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kappaB) pathway, resulting in a decreased production of the proinflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and -6 (IL-6), as well as of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). In addition, DLA effectively inhibited the generation of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) by inhibiting the expression of the upstream genes inducible nitric oxidase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). DLA demonstrated powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties and thus appears as an intriguing prospective therapeutic treatment.
