Özet
The nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor X1 (NLRX1) has been associated with various anti-inflammatory mechanisms. We investigated whether the NLRX1 ligand docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) ameliorates lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory hyperalgesia by interacting with tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6)/inhibitor of KB (IKB) kinase (IKK)/IKB-alpha/nuclear factor-KB (NF -KB) signaling pathway in the central nervous system. Reaction time to thermal stimuli within 30 seconds was measured in male mice injected with saline, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and/or DHA after 6 hours using the hot plate test. Co-immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting studies were performed to determine the activation of the TRAF6/IKK/IKB-alpha/NF-KB pathway in the brains and spinal cords of animals. Latency to the thermal stimulus was reduced by 30% in LPS-injected endotoxemic mice compared with saline-injected mice. Treatment with DHA significantly improved latency compared with endotoxemic mice. In the brain and spinal cord of LPS-injected mice, treatment with DHA also prevented the increase in the expression and/or activity of (1) IKK alpha/IKK beta, IKK gamma, and K63 U in the NLRX1-immunoprecipitated tissues, (2) IKK alpha/IKK beta, K63 U, and K48 U in the IKK gamma-immunoprecipitated tissues, and (3) IKB-alpha, NF-KB p65, and interleukin-1 beta associated with decreased IKB-alpha expression. These findings suggest that inhibition of IKK/IKB-alpha/NF-KB signaling by dissociation of NLRX1 from TRAF6 in response to LPS treatment contributes to the protective effect of DHA against inflammatory hyperalgesia.
