국문 초록

Macrophages play a central role in cardiovascular diseases, like atherosclerosis, by accumulating in vessel walls and inducing sustained local inflammation marked by the release of chemokines, cytokines, and matrix-degrading enzymes. Recent studies indicate that 6'-sialyllactose (6'-SL) may mitigate inflammation by modulating the immune system. Here, we examined the impact of 6'-SL on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute inflammation using RAW 264.7 cells and a mouse model. In vivo, ICR mice received pretreatment with 100 mg/kg 6'-SL for 2 h, followed by intraperitoneal LPS injection (10 mg/kg) for 6 h. In vitro, RAW 264.7 cells were preincubated with 6'-SL before LPS stimulation. Mechanistic insights were gained though Western blotting, qRT-PCR, and immunofluorescence analysis, while reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was assessed via DHE assay. 6'-SL effectively attenuated LPS-induced p38 MAPK and Akt phosphorylation, as well as p65 nuclear translocation. Additionally, 6'-SL inhibited LPS-induced expression of tissue damage marker MMP9, IL-1β, and MCP-1 by modulating NF-κB activation. It also reduced ROS levels, mediated by p38 MAPK and Akt pathways. Moreover, 6'-SL restored LPS-suppressed Nrf2 and HO-1 akin to specific inhibitors SB203580 and LY294002. Consistent with in vitro results, 6'-SL decreased oxidative stress, MMP9, and MCP-1 expression in mouse endothelium following LPS-induced macrophage activation. In summary, our findings suggest that 6'-SL holds promise in mitigating atherosclerosis by dampening LPS-induced acute macrophage inflammation.
