Abstract

Kukoamine B (KB), derived from the traditional Chinese herb cortex Lycii, exerts anti‑inflammatory effects due to its potent affinity with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and CpG DNA; however, little is known regarding whether the in vivo administration of KB can effectively inhibit inflammation in septic mice. The present study thus aimed to investigate the inhibitory effects of KB on the inflammatory response in the livers of LPS‑induced septic mice. KB treatment in the LPS‑induced septic mice significantly decreased the plasma level of LPS. In addition, KB protected against liver injury, as confirmed by improved histology and decreased aminotransferase levels in the serum. Further experiments revealed that KB attenuated liver myeloperoxidase activity and reduced the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule‑1 and intercellular adhesion molecule‑1. These effects were accompanied by decreases in the levels of tumor necrosis factor α and interleukin‑1β in the liver tissue. In parallel, the activity of nuclear factor‑κ-gene binding (NF‑κB) in the livers of LPS‑induced septic mice was markedly inhibited with KB treatment. In combination, these results demonstrate that KB inhibits inflammation in septic mice by reducing the concentrations of plasma LPS, decreasing leukocyte sequestration and interfering with NF‑κB activation, and, therefore, suppressing the pro‑adhesive phenotype of endothelial cells.
