چکیده

Resumen Context: Amitriptyline, a tricyclic antidepressant is used for the management of psychological disorders and various types of pain. In the previous work, it is founded that amitriptyline inhibited the migration of polymorphonuclear (PMN) into the site of inflammation. Aims: To evaluate the effect of amitriptyline on the expression of some inflammatory mediators such as intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM1), vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1), cyclooxygenase 2 (COX2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Methods: An in vitro model system of LPS-stimulated human endothelial cells and U937 macrophages and also in vivo model of carrageenaninduced paw edema in rat were used. The expression of inflammatory mediator genes was determined by qRT-Real-time PCR. In endothelial cells, soluble forms of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 were quantified by ELISA. Results: The expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1, COX2, iNOS, sICAM-1 and sVCAM-1 significantly decreased by amitriptyline. The finding of this study also confirmed that intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection of amitriptyline inhibited carrageenan-induced inflammation in rat paw edema. Conclusions: The results of the present study provide further evidence for the anti-inflammatory effect of amitriptyline. This effect appears to be mediated by down-regulation of inflammatory genes. Contexto: La amitriptilina, un antidepresivo tricíclico, se utiliza para el tratamiento de los trastornos psicológicos y diversos tipos de dolor. En un trabajo anterior se demostró el efecto inhibidor de la amitriptilina sobre la migración de polimorfonucleares (PMN) en el sitio de la inflamación. Objetivos: Evaluar el efecto de la amitriptilina sobre la expresión de algunos mediadores inflamatorios tales como molécula de adhesión intracelular (ICAM-1), molécula de adhesión celular vascular (VCAM-1), ciclooxigenasa 2 (COX2) y óxido nítrico sintasa inducible (iNOS). Métodos: Se utilizó un modelo in vitro de células endoteliales humanas estimuladas con LPS y macrófagos U937 y también un modelo in vivo de edema de la pata inducido por carragenina en rata. La expresión de genes mediadores inflamatorios se determinó por PCR qRT-Real-time. En las células endoteliales, las formas solubles de ICAM-1 y VCAM-1 se cuantificaron por ELISA. Resultados: La expresión de ICAM-1, VCAM-1, COX2, iNOS, sICAM-1 y sVCAM-1 disminuyó significativamente por la amitriptilina. También se confirmó que la amitriptilina intraperitoneal (i.p.) inhibió la inflamación inducida por carragenina en el edema de la pata de la rata. Conclusiones: Los resultados de este estudio proporcionan evidencia adicional para el efecto antiinflamatorio de la amitriptilina. Este efecto parece estar mediado por la regulación hacia abajo de los genes inflamatorios.

Fluvoxamine inhibits some inflammatory genes expression in LPS/stimulated human endothelial cells, U937 macrophages, and carrageenan-induced paw edema in rat

Objective(s): Fluvoxamine is a well-known selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI); Despite its anti-inflammatory effect, little is known about the precise mechanisms involved. In our previous work, we found that IP administration of fluvoxamine produced a noticeable anti-inflammatory effect in carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of fluvoxa...

Anti-inflammatory effect of longan seed extract in carrageenan stimulated Sprague-Dawley rats

Objective(s): Longan seeds have been used as a folk medicine in China. Longan seed extract (LSE) is known for antioxidative, antiproliferative, hypoglycemic, and hypouremic effects. However, its anti-inflammatory effect has not been shown. Materials and Methods: In this study, Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were given LSE orally (vehicle, 10, and 30 mg/kg) for 3 days to its test anti-inflammatory eff...

The effect of down-regulation of CCL5 on lipopolysaccharide-induced WI-38 fibroblast injury: a potential role for infantile pneumonia

Objective(s): Aberrant expression of CCL5 has been found in several kinds of inflammatory diseases, and the roles of CCL5 in these diseases have also been reported. However, the role of CCL5 in infantile pneumonia is still unclear. Thus, the function and acting mechanism of CCL5 in the in vitro model of infantile pneumonia were researched in this study. Materials and Methods: Human fetal lung f...
