Abstract

The present study was performed to investigate the anti-inflammatory potential of a 116-kDa glycoprotein isolated from Ulmus davidiana Nakai (UDN glycoprotein) in lipopolysaccaride (LPS)-treated cancerous human colon epithelial cells (HT-29 cells). UDN glycoprotein inhibited the production of intracellular superoxide anion (O ·−2 ), hydrogen peroxides (H2O2), and nitric oxide (NO), whereas normalized the activity of anti-oxidant enzymes [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX)], accompanying the inhibition of manganese-superoxide dismutases (Mn-SOD) activity in LPS-treated HT-29 cells. In addition, UDN glycoprotein blocked the DNA binding activity of activator protein-1 (AP-1) through suppression of c-Jun and c-Fos activities, respectively. We also evaluated the anti-inflammatory potential of UDN glycoprotein based on the activity of the pro-inflammatory signal mediators [inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), and matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9)]. The results showed that UDN glycoprotein (200 μg/ml) has an inhibitory effect on the activation of iNOS, COX-2, and MMP-9 proteins in the LPS-treated HT-29 cells. From these results, we suggest that UDN glycoprotein is one of the potential anti-inflammatory agents that blocks LPS-mediated inflammatory signal pathway in HT-29 cells. Here, we speculate that UDN glycoprotein could be used as an antioxidative agent for inflammatory gastrointestinal cancers.
