Sulforaphane reduces pro-inflammatory response to palmitic acid in monocytes and adipose tissue macrophages

Chronic low-grade systemic inflammation (SI), including activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, is a feature of obesity, associated with increased circulating saturated fatty acids, such as palmitic acid (PA), and bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (LPS). PA and LPS may contribute to SI observed in obesity, while the dietary antioxidant sulforaphane has been shown to reduce activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. This study investigated immune cell responses from obese subjects to PA, and the effects of sulforaphane on NLRP3 activation/inflammation. Peripheral blood monocytes isolated from obese (n = 8) and non-obese (n = 8) subjects and adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) isolated from visceral fat obtained from obese subjects (n = 10) during bariatric surgery were pre-treated with/without sulforaphane (40 µM) for 3 hours then stimulated with PA (500 µM) ± LPS (1 ng/mL monocytes; 100 ng/mL ATMs) for 15 hours. Culture supernatants were assessed for tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-β (IL-1β) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, NLRP3 inflammasome gene expression was assessed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction, IL-1β and NLRP3 expression were higher in both unstimulated and PA treated monocytes from obese compared to nonobese subjects. In ATMs neither PA alone or combined with LPS increased cytokine production or inflammasome gene expression. Sulforaphane reduced tumor necrosis factor-α and IL-1β from monocytes in both groups, however inflammasome associated genes were only reduced in monocytes from obese subjects. Sulforaphane reduced cytokine production and inflammasome gene expression in ATMs. NLRP3 inflammasome activation by PA is higher in obesity, which maybe driven by baseline activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome. Sulforaphane modulates inflammatory responses in immune cells and may play a role in reducing SI in obesity.
