摘要: The emerging cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway plays a key role in regulating inflammation. Steroids are known to possess remarkable anti-inflammatory activity. However, the links between steroids and the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway remain unidentified. In this study, eight steroids (1-8) featuring five different structural types were characterized from an endophytic fungus Aspergillus tennesseensis 1022LEF, and were subsequently evaluated for their potential role in regulating the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway. As a result, compound 8, with the best potency, showed remarkable anti-inflammatory activity at the nanomolar to low micromolar level. Further pharmacological study indicated that 8 notably increased alpha 7nAchR expression and inhibited the activation of its down-stream signaling pathways. Collectively, the present study not only highlighted the potential correlation between steroids and the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, but also identified 8 as a dual-functional modulator via directly inhibition to acetylcholinesterase as well as up-regulation of alpha 7nAchR expression.
