Introduction: Carbon monoxide (CO) released from CORM-2 has anti-inflammatory function, but the critical molecule mediating the inflammation inhibition has not been elucidated. Previous studies indicate that CORM-2 can activate Nrf2, a key transcription factor regulating host defense against oxidative stress and inflammation-related disorders. In this study we use Nrf2 knockout mice to determine the role of Nrf2 in mediating the CO anti-inflammatory action.
Methods: We compared CORM-2's inhibiting effect on pro-inflammatory cytokine expressions (TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 and iNOS) in primary peritoneal macrophages, mouse liver and brain tissues from Nrf2(+/+) and Nrf2(-/-) mice. We further assayed the inflammatory cell infiltration in both liver and brain tissues of the Nrf2(+/+) and Nrf2(-/-) mice. Finally, we examined CORM's influence on mouse mortality in a mouse sepsis model.
Results: Our results showed that CORM-2 dramatically inhibited the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in Nrf2(+/+) mice, but not in Nrf2(-/-) mice. Furthermore CORM-2 substantially decreased LPS-induced mouse mortality of Nrf2(+/+) mice, but not of Nrf2(-/-) mice.
Conclusion: We conclude that Nrf2 is indispensable for CORM-2 inhibition of LPS-induced inflammation.
