ABSTRACT
Sweroside (SW), as a bioactive herbal ingredient, has anti-inflammatory effects. Protective effects of SW on IL-1β-stimulated articular chondrocytes, however, has not been fully understood. This study was to explore the anti-inflammatory effects and further to investigate the possible mechanism underlying SW effect on IL-1β-stimulated rat articular chondrocytes. Rat articular chondrocytes were cultured with or without SW for 1 h, and then stimulated with IL-1β for 24 h. ELISA analysis was used to measure the production of NO and PGE2. Western blot was to detect the expression of iNOS and COX-2. Furthermore, the mRNA expression of MMP-1, MMP3, MMP13, and ADAMTS-5 were measured by q-PCR. These results demonstrated that SW significantly inhibited IL-1β-induced NO and PGE2 production, as well as MMP-1, MMP3, MMP13, and ADAMTS-5 mRNA expression. Moreover, SW also suppressed IL-1β-induced NF-κB activation and iκ-B degradation, S6K1 and S6 phosphorylation. In conclusion, these results strongly demonstrated that the anti-inflammatory activity of SW is in part mediated by suppressing NF-κB and mTORC1 signaling, which was expected to be a promising drug target of osteoarthritis therapy.
