Abstract

Objective

To investigate the pharmacological roles and mechanisms of artesunate (AS) in enhancing autophagy and promoting the bactericidal activity in murine macrophages.

Methods

Murine bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) was isolated and cultured primarily. In the bactericidal study

BMDMs were divided into groups of

E.coli

(EC)

EC+AS and EC+AS+ autophagy inhibitor (3-MA and Ly294002s). The EC infection cell model was set up in the cultured BMDMs. Then AS and/or autophagy inhibitors were added to treat cells. Bacterial counts were detected by plate culture assay. For the detection of autophagy and reactive oxygen species (ROS)

BMDMs were divided into control

AS+autophagy inhibitors and AS+ROS scavengers [reduced glutathione (GSH) and N-acetylcysteine (NAC)

]

groups. Then RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of autophagic markers at mRNA and protein levels

respectively. Fluorescence probe was employed to detect intracellular ROS levels.

Results

The obtained BMDMs were in good morphology after isolation and differentiation. In the bactericidal study

the EC+AS group demonstrated markedly less bacterial counts in EC infected BMDMs in time and dose dependent manners (

0.01). The treatments of AS+autophagy inhibitors and AS+ROS scavengers resulted in significantly elevated bacterial counts

as compared with the treatment of AS alone (

0.01). In the detection of autophagy and ROS levels

AS upregulated the mRNA and protein levels of LC3B and Atg5 in a dose dependent manner (

0.01). While their expression levels were obviously decreased in the groups of AS+autophagy inhibitors and AS+ROS scavengers when compare

d to the AS group. What's more

AS+ROS scavengers also decreased ROS levels (

0.05).

Conclusion

AS enhances the bactericidal activity in murine macrophages

which may be mediated by its increasing cellular ROS levels and thus activating cellular autophagy.
