Inhibitory effect of curcumin on inflammatory responses induced by LPS in human retinal pigment epithelial cells
Objective:To explore the inhibitory effect of curcumin on inflammatory responses induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in retinal pigment epithelial(RPE) cells. Methods:ARPE-19 cells were cultured in vitro. Before being stimulated with or without LPS (5 μg/mL),ARPE-19 cells were pre-incubated with different concentrations of curcumin(5,10,20,30,40 ?滋mol/L). The optimum con-centration of curcumin was detected by CCK-8 assay. The mRNA level of IL-6 and IL-8 was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) and their protein expression was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Protein expres-sion levels of IκB-α and p-IκB-α were examined by Western blot. Results:The CCK-8 results showed that the activities of ARPE-19 cells were not affected by different concentrations of curcumin(P5 ?滋mol/L=0.998,P10 ?滋mol/L=1.000,P20 ?滋mol/L=0.124,P30 ?滋mol/L=0.092,P40 ?滋mol/L=0.078). Curcumin was indicated to be able to protect ARPE-19 cells since pre-treatment with different concentrations of curcumin following by LPS administration. This protection resulted with a maximal protective effect at 20 μmol/L(P=0.041). The RT-PCR results indicated that the relative mRNA level of IL-8 in curcumin+LPS group(4.965±3.863) was significantly lower than that in LPS group(106.331±37.314)(P=0.000) and the relative mRNA level of IL-6 in curcumin+LPS group(0.992±0.374) was significantly lower than that in LPS group(2.175±0.560)(P=0.005). The ELISA results showed that protein expression of IL-8 in curcumin+LPS group[(191.600±18.773) pg/mL] was significantly lower than that in LPS group[(589.025±38.880) pg/mL](P=0.000) and protein expression of IL-6 in curcumin+LPS group[(113.906±27.947) pg/mL] was significantly lower than that in LPS group[(243.380±38.001)pg/mL](P=0.000). Meanwhile,the Western blot results indicated that pre-treatment with curcumin inhibit-ed the phosphorylation of IκB-α(P=0.001) mediated by LPS stimulation. Conclusion:Curcumin inhibits the inflammatory responses induced by LPS via suppression NF-κB activity and protects retinal pigment epithelial cells.
