Description
Summary:Abstract Polyozellus multiplex (Thelephoraceae) is a wild mushroom in Korea and Japan and is usually harvested in early autumn for food. Polyozellin, a major constituent of the edible mushroom Polyozellus multiplex , has been known to exhibit biological activities such as anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects. Transforming growth factor β-induced protein (TGFBIp) is an extracellular matrix protein whose expression in several cell types is greatly increased by TGF-β. TGFBIp is released by human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and functions as a mediator of experimental sepsis. We hypothesized that polyozellin could reduce TGFBIp-mediated severe inflammatory responses in human endothelial cells and mice. Here, we investigated the anti-septic effects and underlying mechanisms of polyozellin against TGFBIp-mediated septic responses. Polyozellin effectively inhibited lipopolysaccharide-induced release of TGFBIp and suppressed TGFBIp-mediated septic responses. In addition, polyozellin suppressed cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis lethality and pulmonary injury. In conclusion, polyozellin suppressed TGFBIp-mediated and CLP-induced septic responses. Therefore, polyozellin could be a potential therapeutic agent for treatment of various severe vascular inflammatory diseases via inhibition of the TGFBIp signaling pathway.
