Abstract
- The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-inflammatory effect of tegoprazan (TEGO) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated bone-marrow-derived macrophages (BMMs). To this end, compared to methylprednisolone (MP; positive control), we evaluated whether TEGO effectively differentiates LPS-stimulated BMMs into M2-phenotype macrophages. Moreover, the expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines genes influenced by TEGO was measured using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis. TEGO was found to reduce nitric oxide (NO) production in BMMs significantly. In addition, TEGO significantly decreased and increased the gene expression levels of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines, respectively. In addition, we evaluated the phosphorylated values of the extracellular signal-regulatory kinase (ERK) and p38 in the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase signaling pathway through Western blotting. TEGO significantly reduced the phosphorylated values of the ERK and p38. In other words, TEGO suppressed the various pro-inflammatory responses in LPS-induced BMMs. These results show that TEGO has the potential to be used as an anti-inflammatory agent.
