چکیده

background: microglial cells act as the sentinel of the central nervous system .they are involved in neuroprotection but are highly implicated in neurodegeneration of the aging brain. when over-activated, microglia release pro-inflammatory factors, such as nitric oxide (no) and cytokines, which are critical in eliciting neuroinflammatory responses associated with neurodegenerative diseases. this study examined whether bromelain, the pineapple-derived extract, may exert an anti-inflammatory effect in primary microglia and may be neuroprotective by regulating microglial activation. methods: following the isolation of neonatal rat primary microglial cells, the activation profile of microglia was investigated by studying the effects of bromelain (5, 10, 20, and 30 µg/ml) on the levels of no, inducible nitric oxide synthase (inos), and nuclear factor kappa b (nf-&kappab;) in microglia treated with lipopolysaccharide (lps) (1 µg/ml). data were analyzed using student's t-test. p values less than 0.05 were considered to be statistically significant, compared with the lps-treated group without bromelain. results: results showed that pretreatment of rat primary microglia with bromelain, decreased the production of no induced by lps (1 µg/ml) treatment in a dose-dependent manner. bromelain (30 µg/ml) also significantly reduced the expression of inos at mrna level and nf-&kappab; at protein level. moreover, the study of mitochondrial activity in microglia indicated that bromelain had no cytotoxicity at any of the applied doses, suggesting that the anti-inflammatory effects of bromelain are not due to cell death. conclusion: bromelain can be of potential use as an agent for alleviation of symptoms in neurodegenerative diseases.

reduction of no production in lps-stimulated primary rat microglial cells by bromelain

microglia, the sentries of the brain, is highly implicated in neurodegeneration as in neuroprotection. chronic microglial activation endangers neuronal survival through the release of various potentially neurotoxic mediators including nitric oxide (no). thus, negative regulators of microglial activation have been considered as potential therapeutic candidates to target neurodegeneration, such a...

Recognition of Betaine as an Inhibitor of Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Nitric Oxide Production in Activated Microglial Cells

Background: Neuroinflammation, as a major outcome of microglia activation, is an important factor for progression of neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. Microglial cells, as the first-line defense in the central nervous system, act as a source of neurotoxic factors such as nitric oxide (NO), a free radical which is involved in neuronal cell death. ...
