Abstract:Objectives To investigate the effects of scutellarin on lipid phagocytosis and the regulation of PKC, and TNF-α expressions in low density lipoprotein (OX-LDL) injured RAW264.7 cells. Methods Murine RAW264.7 macrophages was cultured in vitro. Then, the OX-LDL-induced injury model was replicated. Combined with oil red O staining, cellular cholesteryl ester content was also detected in OX-LDL-induced injury model. Furthermore, Western blot and RT-PCR methods were used to detect changes in PKC and TNF-α protein as well as mRNA expression in RAW264.7 cells. Results (1) The results of oil red O showed that the degree of cell red staining in model group was significantly higher than that in normal control group; compared with model group, the degree of cell red staining in simvastatin group, scutellarin 50 and 100 μmol/L group were lower than that in the model group; (2) The cholesteryl ester content assay showed that: compared with the normal control group, the CE/TC values of the model group cells were significantly increased at each time point; compared with model group, and cellular CE/TC values were significantly decreased in the dosing group at each time point. (3) WB and RT-PCR results showed that compared with normal control group, protein and mRNA expressions of PKC and TNF-α were increased in the model group; compared with the model group, protein and mRNA expression of PKC and TNF-α were decreased in simvastatin group, and scutellarin group showed a concentration-dependent downregulation of PKC and TNF-α expression. Conclusions (1) Scutellarin can significantly inhibit the levels of cholesterol in OX-LDL injuried RAW264.7 cells. (2) Scutellarin can down-regulated the protein and mRNA expressions of PKC, TNF-α in OX-LDL induced RAW264.7 cells. -
