Popis: ABSTRACT: Macrophages play a crucial role in both innate and adaptive immunity. However, their abnormal activation can lead to undesirable inflammatory reactions. This study aimed to investigate the effects of glycerol monolaurate (GML), a natural monoester known for its anti-inflammatory and immunoregulatory properties, on avian macrophages using the HD11 cell line. The results indicated that a concentration of 10 μg/mL of GML enhanced the phagocytic activity of HD11 cells (P < 0.05) without affecting cell viability (P > 0.05). GML decreased the expression of M1 macrophage polarization markers, such as CD86 and TNF-α genes (P < 0.05), while increasing the expression of M2 macrophage polarization markers, such as TGF-β1 and IL-10 genes (P < 0.05). GML suppressed ROS production, apoptosis, and the expression of proinflammatory genes (IL-1β and IL-6) induced by LPS (P < 0.05). GML also promoted the expression of TGF-β1 and IL-10 (P < 0.05), both in the presence and absence of LPS exposure. Moreover, GML suppressed the gene expression of TLR4 and NF-κB p65 induced by LPS (P < 0.05), as well as the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 (P < 0.05). In conclusion, GML exhibited regulatory effects on the polarized state of avian macrophages and demonstrated significant anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties by suppressing intracellular ROS and the NF-κB signaling pathway.
