(E)-2-methoxy-4-(3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-1-en-1-yl)phenol alleviates inflammatory responses in LPS-induced mice liver sepsis through inhibition of STAT3 phosphorylation

Sepsis is a life-threatening disease with limited treatment options, and the inflammatory process represents an important factor affecting its progression. Many studies have demonstrated the critical roles of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in sepsis pathophysiology and pro-inflammatory responses. Inhibition of STAT3 activity may therefore represent a promising treatment option for sepsis. We here used a mouse model to demonstrate that (E)-2-methoxy-4-(3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-1-en-1-yl)phenol (MMPP) treatment prevented the liver sepsis-related mortality induced by 30 mg/kg lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment and reduced LPS-induced increase in alanine transaminase, aspartate transaminase, and lactate dehydrogenase levels, all of which are markers of liver sepsis progression. These recovery effects were associated with decreased LPS-induced STAT3, p65, and JAK1 phosphorylation and proinflammatory cytokine (interleukin 1 beta, interleukin 6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha) level; expression of cyclooxygenase-2 and induced nitric oxide synthase were also reduced by MMPP. In an in vitro study using the normal liver cell line THLE-2, MMPP treatment prevented the LPS-induced increase of STAT3, p65, and JAK1 phosphorylation and inflammatory protein expression in a dose-dependent manner, and this effect was enhanced by combination treatment with MMPP and STAT3 inhibitor. The results clearly indicate that MMPP treatment prevents LPS-induced mortality by inhibiting the inflammatory response via STAT3 activity inhibition. Thus, MMPP represents a novel agent for alleviating LPS-induced liver sepsis.
