- Paper Abstract
- Ethnopharmacological relevance: Angelicae pubescentis radix (APR) has a long history in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in China. It has the effects of dispelling wind to eliminate dampness, removing arthralgia and stopping pain in the Chinese Pharmacopeia, but its mechanisms was unclear. Columbianadin (CBN) was one of the main bioactive compounds of APR, and has many pharmacological effects. But the immunosuppressive effect of CBN on DCs and the potential mechanism needed to be explored. Aim of the study: The study was aimed to clarify the immunosuppressive effect of CBN on maturation, migration, allogenic T cell stimulation and phagocytosis capacity of TNF-α induced DCs. Materials and methods: Bone marrow-derived DCs were obtained and cultured from C57BL/6 mice in accordance with protocol. The phenotypic study (CD11c, CD40, CD80, CD86 and MHC Ⅱ) were measured by flow cytometry. FITC-dextran were uptaked by DCs and the change of endocytosis activity were mediated by acquired mannose receptor. Transwell chambers were used to detect the migration ability of DCs. Mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) assay was used to detect the allostimulatory ability of CBN on TNF-α stimulated DCs. The secretion of cytokines and chemokines was measured by ELISA Kit. TLRs gene and MAPKs/NF-κB protein expression were checked by qRT-PCR and Western blot. Results: CBN inhibited the maturation of TNF-α-induced DCs while maintaining phagocytosis capabilities. Additionally, CBN inhibited the migration of TNF-α stimulated DCs, which related to reduce the production of chemokines (MCP-1, MIP-1α). Notably, CBN could suppress the proliferation of CD4 + T cells by inhibiting DCs maturation, and decrease the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 production. Furthermore, CBN inhibited mRNA expression of TLR2, TLR7 and TLR9 in TNF-α-activated DCs. Meanwhile, the phosphorylation of p38, JNK1/2 and NF-κB protein were significantly inhibited in CBN treated DCs. Conclusions: These findings provided novel insights into the pharmacological activity of CBN. They also indicated that inhibition DCs maturation owning to the immunosuppressive effect of CBN. CBN was expected as a potential immunosuppressant and TLRs/MAPKs/NF-κB pathway may be an important mechanism for CBN's immunosuppressive activity.
