- Paper Abstract
- Diosmin, a natural flavonoid glycoside present abundantly in the pericarp of various citrus fruits. Because of its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, it can be used in many diseases. In this study, we investigated the possible protective mechanisms of the diosmin on LPS-induced lung injury through inhibition of T cell receptors, pro-inflammatory cytokines and NF-κB activation. Animals were pretreated with diosmin (50 and 100mg/kg, p.o.) for seven days prior to lipopolysaccharides (LPS) treatment. LPS administration increased neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, total leukocyte count (TLC) and platelets which were decreased by diosmin. We observed that mice exposed to LPS showed increased malondialdehyde level and MPO activity whereas marked decrease in glutathione content. These changes were significantly reversed by treatment with diosmin in a dose dependent manner. Diosmin treatment showed a substantial reduction in T cell (CD4(+) and CD8(+)) receptors and pro-inflammatory (IL-2(+) and IL-17(+)) cytokines in whole blood. In addition, RT-PCR analysis revealed increased mRNA expression of IL-6, IL-17, TNF-α, and NF-κB in the LPS group, while reduced by treatment with diosmin. Western blot analysis confirmed the increased protein expression of IL-1β, TNF-α and NF-κB p65 in the LPS group and treatment of animals with diosmin reversed these effects. The levels of cytoplasmic p-IκB-α and p-NF-κB p65 expression also were mitigated by diosmin. The histological examinations revealed protective effect of diosmin while LPS group aggravated lung injury. These results support the potential for diosmin to be investigated as a potential agent for the treatment of lung injury and inflammatory diseases.
