Kurzfassung:
Microglia mediated neuronal inflammation has been widely reported to be responsible for neurodegenerative disease. Deacetyl ganoderic acid F (DeGA F) is a triterpenoid isolated from Ganoderma lucidum, which is a famous edible and medicinal mushroom used for treatment of dizziness and insomnia in traditional medicine for a long time. In this study the inhibitory effects and mechanisms of DeGA F against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation both in vitro and in vivo were investigated. On murine microglial cell line BV-2 cells, DeGA F treatment inhibited LPS-triggered NO production and iNOS expression and affected the secretion and mRNA levels of relative inflammatory cytokines. DeGA F inhibited LPS-induced activation of the NF-κB pathway, as evidenced by decreased phosphorylation of IKK and IκB and the nuclear translocation of P65. In vivo, DeGA F treatment effectively inhibited NO production in zebrafish embryos. Moreover, DeGA F suppressed the serum levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including TNF-α and IL-6 in LPS-stimulated mice model. DeGA F reduced inflammatory response by suppressing microglia and astrocytes activation and also suppressed LPS-induced NF-κB activation in mice brains. Taken together, DeGA F exhibited remarkable anti-inflammatory effects and promising therapeutic potential for neural inflammation associated diseases.
