摘要: 麦卢卡蜂蜜因其独特的抗炎特性,被广泛研究用于炎症性疾病的防治。为探究麦卢卡蜂蜜在的抗炎作用,本研究通过LPS诱导构建了基于HepG2和Caco-2细胞的炎症模型,进一步通过CCK-8、显微镜观察法、RT-qPCR、Elisa试验对细胞活性及NF-κB信号通路基因的表达情况进行检测,结果表明,1.0 μg/mL和2.0 μg/mL LPS处理HepG2和Caco-2出现明显的核变形和细胞紧密连接的破坏等形态变化,细胞活性没有显著下降,但能显著上调NF-κB信号通路的促炎因子TNF-α、IL-1β、IL-6和COX-2的表达;麦卢卡蜂蜜浓度大于20.0 mg/mL时,对细胞活性产生显著抑制作用,而2.5-20.0 mg/mL的麦卢卡蜂蜜能显著抑制LPS诱导的这些促炎因子的表达,特别是10.0 mg/mL浓度表现出最佳抗炎效果,炎症因子表达接近对照组水平。本研究表明,麦卢卡蜂蜜在炎症反应中具有显著的抑制作用,能够有效缓解LPS诱导的细胞炎症反应,且可能作为一种潜在的辅助治疗手段,为炎症性疾病的临床治疗提供新的思路。

Abstract: Manuka honey, known for its unique anti-inflammatory properties, has been extensively studied for its potential in the prevention and treatment of inflammatory diseases. To investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of Manuka honey, this study established inflammation models using HepG2 and Caco-2 cells induced by LPS. Cell viability and the expression of NF-κB signaling pathway genes were assessed through CCK-8, microscopic observation, RT-qPCR, and ELISA. The results showed that 1.0 μg/mL and 2.0 μg/mL LPS treatments caused significant nuclear deformation and disruption of tight junctions in HepG2 and Caco-2 cells. Despite these morphological changes, cell viability remained unaffected, and there was a significant upregulation in the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and COX-2) via the NF-κB signaling pathway. When the concentration of Manuka honey exceeded 20.0 mg/mL, a significant reduction in cell viability was observed. However, concentrations between 2.5–20.0 mg/mL of Manuka honey significantly inhibited the expression of these pro-inflammatory cytokines induced by LPS. Notably, the concentration of 10.0 mg/mL exhibited the best anti-inflammatory effect, with cytokine levels approaching the control group levels. This study suggests that Manuka honey has a significant inhibitory effect on inflammatory responses and can effectively alleviate LPS-induced cellular inflammation. It may serve as a potential adjunctive therapeutic strategy, offering new insights for the clinical treatment of inflammatory diseases.
