Abstract

In order to investigate whether selenium (Se) affects anti-inflammatory action of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced-macrophage inflammatory response. RAW264.7 cells of mice macrophagic system were treated with 10 μg/mL DHA, 10 μg/mL DHA+0.05 μmol/L sodium selenite, 1 μg/mL LPS, 10 μg/mL DHA+1 μg/mL LPS, 10 μg/mL DHA+1 μg/mL LPS+0.05 μmol/L sodium selenite for 24 h, respectively, a normal group was set up without addition. The mRNA expression levels of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin 1β (IL-1β), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and interleukin 10 (IL-10) in cells were measured by semi-quantitative reverse transcription PCR, and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used to test contents of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-10 in supernatant of culture medium. The results showed that adding sodium selenite (0.05 μmol/L) not only significantly enhanced the inhibitory effects of DHA (10 μg/mL) on expression of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-α mRNA (P<0.05) and production of IL-1β (P<0.01), but also significantly enhanced the promoting effects of DHA (10 μg/mL) on mRNA expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in RAW264.7 cells induced by LPS (1 μg/mL) (P<0.01). Therefore, Se can enhance anti-inflammatory effects of DHA on inflammatory response in macrophages induced by LPS.
