The inhibitory action of quercetin on lipopolysaccharide-induced nitric oxide production in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells.
The effect of quercetin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production was studied. Quercetin pretreatment significantly inhibited NO production in an LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 murine macrophage cell line. Post-treatment with quercetin partially inhibited NO production. The inhibitory action of quercetin was due to neither the cytotoxic action nor altered LPS binding. The expression of inducible-type NO synthase (iNOS) was markedly down-regulated by quercetin. Quercetin suppressed the release of free nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB by preventing degradation of IkappaB-alpha and IkappaB-beta. Moreover, quercetin blocked the phosphorylation of extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 (Erk 1/2), p38, and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase/stress-activated protein kinase (JNK/SAPK) and, further, the activity of tyrosine kinases in LPS-stimulated RAW cells. Quercetin also inhibited interferon (IFN)-gamma-induced NO production. Taken together, these results indicate that the inhibitory action of quercetin on NO production in LPS- and/or IFN-gamma-stimulated macrophages might be due to abrogation of iNOS protein induction by impairment of a series of intracellular signal pathways.
