Abstract
The present study was to investigate the effects of rosmarinic acid (RA) in cultured RAW264.7 cells and experimental model of sepsis induced by cecal ligation and puncture in rats and the potential mechanism. Results showed that RA concentration dependently down-regulated the levels of TNF-α, IL-6, and high-mobility group box 1 protein in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells, inhibited the IκB kinase pathway, and modulated nuclear factor-κB. Intravenous injection of RA alone or in combination with imipenem reduced cecal ligation and puncture-induced lethality in rats. In addition, serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6, high-mobility group box 1 protein, triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells, and endotoxin were down-regulated; in contrast, serum level of IL-10 was up-regulated. Amelioration of hemodynamics and decrease in serum enzyme activities and myeloperoxidase in lung, liver, and small intestine were also observed after RA injection. These data indicate that the antisepsis effect of RA was mediated by decreasing local and systemic levels of a wide spectrum of inflammatory mediators. This article provides the first evidence that RA has the capacity to inactivate inflammatory response in sepsis. The anti-inflammatory mechanism of RA may inhibit activation of the nuclear factor- κB pathway by inhibiting IκB kinase activity.Keywords
