- Abstract
We evaluated dendrobine for its potential effect on Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) progression using the intestinal epithelial Caco-2/RAW264.7 macrophage co-culture cell model. The results showed that dendrobine maintained the tight junction (TJ) proteins in co-cultured Caco-2 cells, suggesting its protective effect on intestinal integrity. Moreover, the findings indicated that the dendrobine group downregulated levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), proinflammatory Interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6, and inflammatory markers such as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in co-cultured RAW264.7 cells. Additionally, dendrobine-mediated anti-inflammatory effects were observed based on the inhibition of LPS-induced proinflammatory mediators of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)-related signaling. These results demonstrated the protective effect of dendrobine at effectively ameliorating intestinal barrier disruption and inhibiting activation of the NF-κB pathway in macrophages through the intestinal barrier.
