Abstract

Human endothelial cells-derived polyphosphate (PolyP) is one of the pro-inflammatory mediators as suggested by the previous reports. Aloin is the major anthraquinone glycoside obtained from the Aloe species and exhibits anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative activities. Aloin inhibits PolyP-mediated barrier disruption, the expressions of cell adhesion molecules, and adhesion/migration of leukocyte to HUVEC. PolyP-induced NF-κB activation and the productions of TNF-α and IL-6 were inhibited by aloin in HUVECs. These anti-inflammatory functions of aloin were confirmed in PolyP-injected mice. In conclusion, based on the anti-inflammatory effects of aloin in PolyP-mediated septic response, aloin has therapeutic potential for various systemic inflammatory diseases.
