ABSTRACT
Sepsis is a dysregulated systemic inflammatory response caused by infection that leads to multiple organ injury and high mortality without effective treatment. Corilagin, a natural polyphenol extracted from traditional Chinese herbs, exhibits strong anti-inflammatory properties. However, the role for Corilagin in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced sepsis and the molecular mechanisms underlying this process have not been completely explored. Here we determine the effect of Corilagin on LPS-treated mice and use a screening approach integrating surface plasmon resonance with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SPR-LC-MS/MS) to further explore the therapeutic target of Corilagin. We discovered that Corilagin significantly prolonged the survival time of septic mice, attenuated the multi-organ injury and the expression of pyroptosis-related proteins in tissues of LPS-treated mice. In vitro studies revealed that Corilagin inhibited pyroptosis and NLRP3 inflammasome activation in LPS-treated macrophages followed with ATP stimulation, as reflected by decreased levels of GSDMD-NT and activated caspase-1, and reduced ASC specks formation. Mechanistically, Corilagin alleviated the formation of ASC specks and blocked the interaction of ASC and pro-caspase1 by competitively binding with the caspase recruitment domain (CARD) of ASC. Additionally, Corilagin interrupted the TLR4-MyD88 interaction through targeting TIR domain of MyD88, leading to the inhibition of NF-κB activation and NLRP3 production. In addition, Corilagin downregulated genes associated with several inflammatory responses and inflammasome-related signaling pathways in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Overall, our results indicate that the inhibitory effect of Corilagin on pyroptosis through targeting TIR domain of MyD88 and binding the CARD domain of ASC in macrophages plays an essential role in protection against LPS-induced sepsis.
