Inflammatory mediators such as inducible nitric oxide synthase iNOS and cyclooxygenase-2 COX-2 have been suggested to connect with various inflammatory diseases. In this study we explored the anti-inflammatory potential of aciculatin 8- 2R 4S 5S 6R -tetrahydro-4 5-dihydroxy-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-yl -5-hydroxy-2- 4-hydroxyphenyl -7-methoxy-4H-chromen-4-one one of main components of Chrysopogon aciculatis by examining its effects on the expression and activity of iNOS and COX-2 in lipopolysaccharide LPS -activated macrophages. Methods We used nitrate and prostaglandin E2 PGE2 assays to examine inhibitory effect of aciculatin on nitric oxide NO and PGE2 levels in LPS-activated mouse macrophages and further investigated the mechanisms of aciculatin suppressed LPS-mediated iNOS COX-2 expression by western blot RT-PCR reporter gene assay and confocal microscope analysis. Results Aciculatin remarkably decreased the LPS 1 gg mL -induced mRNA and protein expression of iNOS and COX-2 as well as their downstream products NO and PGE2 respectively in a concentration-dependent manner 1-10 gM . Such inhibition was found via immunoblot analyses reporter gene assays and confocal microscope observations that aciculatin not only acts through significant suppression of LPS-induced NF-kB activation an effect highly correlated with its inhibitory effect on LPS-induced IkB .
