Hispolon is a potent anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antidiabetic agent isolated from Phellinus linteus, an oriental medicinal mushroom. However, the immunomodulatory mechanisms by which hispolon affects macrophages and lymphocytes remain poorly characterized. We investigated the immunomodulatory effects of hispolon on oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, and lymphocyte proliferation using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated RAW264.7 macrophages or mitogen/alloantigen-treated mouse splenocytes. Hispolon inhibited LPS-induced reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) generation and decreased total sulfhydryl (SH) levels in a cell-free system and RAW264.7 cells. Hispolon exerted significant anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting production of the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in LPS-treated RAW264.7 cells. Hispolon also modulated NF-κB and STAT3 activation by suppressing the NF-κB p65 interaction with phospho-IκBα and the STAT3 interaction with JAK1, as determined via coimmunoprecipitation analysis. Additionally, hispolon significantly decreased lymphocyte proliferation, T cell responses and T helper type 1 (Th1)/type 2 (Th2) cytokines production in mitogen/alloantigen-treated splenocytes. We conclude that hispolon exerts immunomodulatory effects on LPS-treated macrophages or mitogen/alloantigen-treated splenocytes through antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiproliferative activities. Thus, hispolon may be a therapeutic agent for treating immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. |
