Immunomodulatory and anti-angiogenesis effects of excavatolide B and its derivatives in alleviating atopic dermatitis - 29/02/24
Abstract |
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition primarily driven by T helper 2 (Th2) cytokines, resulting in skin barrier defects, angiogenesis, and inflammatory responses. The marine natural product excavatolide B (EXCB), isolated from the Formosan Gorgonian coral Briareum stechei, exhibits anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. To enhance solubility, EXCB is chemically modified into the derivatives EXCB-61 salt and EXCB-79. The study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects of these compounds on dinitrochlorbenzene (DNCB)-induced skin damage and to elucidate the underlying anti-inflammatory and anti-angiogenesis mechanism. In vitro, using lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced RAW 264.7 cells, all compounds at 10 μM significantly inhibited expression of inflammatory proteins (inducible nitric oxide synthase and cyclooxygenase-2), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and cytokines (interleukin (IL)−1β, IL-6, and IL-17A). In vivo, topical application of these compounds on DNCB-induced AD mice alleviated skin symptoms, reduced serum levels of IgE, IL-4, IL-13, IL-17, and interferon-γ, and moderated histological phenomena such as hyperplasia, inflammatory cell infiltration, and angiogenesis. The three compounds restored the expression of skin barrier-related proteins (loricrin, filaggrin, and claudin-1) and reduced the expression of angiogenesis-related proteins (VEGF and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-CD31) in the tissues. This is the first study to indicate that EXCB, EXCB-61 salt, and EXCB-79 can treat AD disease by reducing inflammation and angiogenesis. Hence, they may be considered potential candidates for the development of new drugs for AD.

Highlights |
● | In vitro, EXCB, EXCB-61 salt, and EXCB-79 inhibited iNOS,COX-2, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-17A, and VEGF. |
● | In vivo, EXCB and derivatives topically mitigated DNCB-induced skin symptoms in mice, reducing serum IgE and cytokine levels. |
● | Histologically, these compounds moderated hyperplasia, mast cell infiltration, angiogenesis, and restored the skin barrier. |
● | These findings suggest EXCB and derivatives as potential AD treatments, validly reducing inflammation and angiogenesis. |
