Wilforlide A ameliorates the progression of rheumatoid arthritis by inhibiting M1 macrophage polarization
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease with increased M1 macrophages. The classical activated M1 macrophages produce various cytokines to control inflammation. Wilforlide A is a natural product that displays anti-inflammatory activities. However, the effect of Wilforlide A on RA progress...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease with increased M1 macrophages. The classical activated M1 macrophages produce various cytokines to control inflammation. Wilforlide A is a natural product that displays anti-inflammatory activities. However, the effect of Wilforlide A on RA progression and the potential mechanisms are unclear. Herein, the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse was used as an experimental model of RA. The administration of Wilforlide A reduced clinical scores, joint swelling and histological damage in ankle joints of RA mice. The secreted pro-inflammatory factors (MCP1, GM-CSF and M-CSF) and M1 biomarker iNOS in synovium were inhibited by Wilforlide A. In vitro, macrophages deriving from THP-1 cells were stimulated with LPS/IFN-γ to mimic M1 polarization. Similarly, Wilforlide A blocked macrophages polarizing towards M1 subsets. The in vitro results demonstrated that Wilforlide A suppressed LPS/IFN-γ-induced TLR4 upregulation, IκBα degradation and NF-κB p65 activation. In addition, TAK242 (a TLR4 inhibitor) treatment caused a similar inhibitory effect on M1 polarization with Wilforlide A, whereas it was less than the combination of TAK242 and Wilforlide A.
