The aim of the present study was to investigate the
effects of blue honeysuckle extract (BHE), which contains
high level of phenolic compounds, on endotoxin-induced
uveitis (EIU). Male Lewis rats were randomly divided into 5
groups with 14 rats in each (eight rats for collection of
aqueous humor, six rats for histologic examination). EIU was
induced by a footpad injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
1, 10, or 100 mg of BHE was injected intravenously
immediately after LPS injection. The aqueous humor was
collected at 24 h after LPS injection, the number of
infiltrating cells, protein concentration, nitric oxide (NO),
tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a, and prostaglandin (PG)-E2
levels in the aqueous humor were determined.
Some eyes were enucleated for histologic examination
and immunohistochemical analysis. Immunohistochemical
staining with a monoclonal antibody against activated
nuclear factor (NF)-kB was performed to evaluate the effect
of BHE on NF-kB activation. To further clarify the anti-
inflammatory effect, RAW264.7 cells (a mouse macrophage
cell line) were stimulated with LPS in the presence or
absence of BHE and its major phenolics, cyanidin 3-glucoside
(C3G), cyanidin 3-rutinoside (C3R), chlorogenic acid (CA).
Expression of inducible NO synthase (iNOS) and
cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were analyzed by Western blot
method.
BHE treatment significantly reduced the inflammatory
cell infiltration, the protein concentration, the levels of NO,
TNF-a and PGE2 in the aqueous humor and improved
histologic status of the ocular tissue. The number of
activated NF-kB-positive cells was lower in the iris-ciliary
body treated with BHE at 3 h after LPS injection.
