To date, few studies have reported the anti-inflammatory function of sturgeon peptides and their underlying mechanisms are unknown. The current study was therefore to determine the anti-inflammatory potential of sturgeon peptides with lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW264.7 inflammatory model. Pepsin hydrolysate (PeH) was purified by ultrafiltration and Sephadex G-15 gel filtration chromatography. PeH significantly reduced the inflammatory mediator (NO) and inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β) expression in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, the purified sturgeon peptide (F2) possessed strong antioxidant potential and effectively inhibited DPPH and ABTS free radicals. F2 significantly suppressed the expression of MAPK, IκBα, and NF-κB p65, indicating that F2 exerted anti-inflammatory influence by the inhibition of MAPK and NF-κB pathways.展开更多

However, the anti-inflammation effects of MAM remains to be elucida- ted. We investigated the anti-inflammation activity of MAM. Methods RAW 264.7 macrophages were exposed to LPS with or without MAM. Inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） expression and signaling molecules activated by LPS were evaluated. Results LPS-induced iNOS expression and nitric oxide （NO） expression was suppressed by MAM. MAM attenuated p38MAPK in cells treated with LPS. In addition, MAM caused an increase in MKP-1 expres- sion, which could suppress p38MAPK phosphorylation. Conclusions MAM may activate MKP-1, which then de- phosphorylates p38MAPK, resulting in iNOS down-regulation in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. The pres- ent study indicate that MAM may possess the potential to alleviate LPS-associated inflammatory disorders.展开更多
