摘要
Chlorogenic acid (CGA) possesses a wide variety of bioactive properties, such as antioxidation, anti-inflammation and anti-bacteria. This study was aimed at exploring the effects of CGA of anti-inflammation and anti-bacteria on mouse pneumonia prepared by immunosuppressed mice infected with Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) in vivo and the cellular inflammasomes through lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-induced RAW 264.7 murine macrophages in vitro. Mice received CGA treatment (30 and 90 mg kg-1) for 8 consecutive days and on the fourth day immunosuppression in mice was induced by cyclophosphamide (40 mg kg-1) for 5 days before inoculation of K. pneumoniae. Immunosuppressed mice infected with K. pneumoniae developed severe pneumonia, with marked interstitial vascular congestion, widened alveolar intervals, infiltration of monocytes, lymphocytes and macrophages as well as the damage of epithelial architecture, with growing mortality and count forming unit (CFU). CGA treatment significantly decreased the ratio of lung/body weight, reduced the severity of pneumonia induced by K. pneumoniae, decreased the lung injury, inflammatory cell infiltration scores and CD68 protein expression, inhibited the expression of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and elevated the expression of IL-10. Meanwhile, we investigated the mechanism of CGA to counter K. pneumoniae-induced pneumonia and found that CGA remarkably repressed the activation of nucleotide-binding domain like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome. Altogether, our results indicate that the dietary intake of CGA or its rich foods ameliorates K. pneumonia-induced pneumonia by inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes.
