Resveratrol inhibits LPS-induced mice mastitis through attenuating the MAPK and NF-kappa B signaling pathway

摘要

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol extracted from mangy plants. It has been reported that resveratrol show multitudinous positive role in biology such as anti-oxidant, anti-nociception and anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, the present study devotes to test the effect of resveratrol on LPS-induced mastitis in mice. Resveratrol was administered intraperitoneally 1 h before LPS treatment. And the anti-inflammatory effect of resveratrol was measured by histopathological examination, MPO assay, real-time PCR and western blotting analysis. The results showed that resveratrol significantly reduced the LPS-induced mammary histopathological changes. Meanwhile, it sharply attenuated the activity of MPO. The result also indicated that the resveratrol can decrease the expression of pro inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta. From the results of western blotting, resveratrol suppressed the expression of phosphorylation of p65 and I kappa B from NF-kappa B signal pathway and phosphorylation of p38 and ERK from MAPK signal pathway. These findings suggested that resveratrol may inhibit the inflammatory response in the mastitis. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
