description | Total lipids were extracted from sandfish (<i>Arctoscopus japonicus</i>), and then they were separated into the following three lipid fractions: neutral lipids, glycolipids, and phospholipids. In this study, we analyzed the lipid fractions of <i>A. japonicus</i> eggs and we determined their anti-inflammatory activity in RAW264.7 macrophage cells. In these three lipid-fractions, the main fatty acids were as follows: palmitic acid (16:0), oleic acid (18:1n-9), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3). Among the lipid fractions, phospholipids showed the highest concentration of DHA and EPA (21.70 ± 1.92 and 18.96 ± 1.27, respectively). The three lipid fractions of <i>A. japonicus</i> significantly suppressed the production of NO in macrophages. Moreover, they also significantly inhibited the expression of <i>iNOS</i>, <i>COX-2</i>, <i>IL-6</i>, <i>IL-1β</i>, and <i>TNF-α</i>, in a dose-dependent manner. Furthermore, the lipid fractions of <i>A. japonicus</i> suppressed the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 subunits in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, they attenuated the activation of MAPKs (p38, ERK1/2, and JNK) phosphorylation in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. These results indicate that all the lipid fractions of <i>A. japonicus</i> exert anti-inflammatory activity by suppressing the activation of NF-κB and MAPK pathways. Therefore, the lipid fractions of <i>A. japonicus</i> might be potentially used as anti-inflammatory agents. |
