Abstract
- Abstract Nobiletin has protective effects on cardiovascular diseases, but the mechanism is not clear. In this study, we examined whether nobiletin affects the expression of miR-590/LPL and its relative effects on lipid accumulation and pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion in human THP-1 macrophages. RT-qPCR analysis showed that nobiletin increased the expression of miR-590. Western blot analysis showed that nobiletin-suppressed LPL expression was enhanced by miR-590 mimic and abrogated by miR-590 inhibitor. Oil Red O staining and high-performance liquid chromatography assays showed that nobiletin attenuated lipid accumulation in macrophages. Treatment with nobiletin and miR-590 mimic decreased cellular lipid accumulation, whereas treatment with miR-590 inhibitor increased cellular lipid accumulation. ELISA illustrated that nobiletin alleviated pro-inflammatory cytokine secretion in macrophages as measured by, which was reduced by miR-590 mimic and increased by miR-590 inhibitor. In conclusion, nobiletin may alleviate lipid accumulation and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines by enhancing the inhibitory effect of miR-590 on LPL expression, suggesting a promising strategy for potential drug development for atherosclerosis. Highlights • Nobiletin may alleviate lipid accumulation in human THP-1 macrophages. • Nobiletin may alleviate secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines in human THP-1 macrophages. • Nobiletin may enhance the inhibitory effect of miR-590 on LPL expression.
