ABSTRACT
Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) is highly expressed in dendritic cells (DCs) and B cells, and its aberrant activation can promote disease progression in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). We utilized structure-based virtual screening and experimental validation to screen natural products from TargetMol for potential TLR7 antagonists. Our results of molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation showed that Mogroside V (MV) strongly interacted with TLR7, with stable open-TLR7-MV and close-TLR7-MV complexes. Furthermore, in vitro experiments demonstrated that MV significantly inhibited B cell differentiation in a concentration-dependent manner. In addition to TLR7, we also revealed a strong interaction of MV with all TLRs, including TLR4. The above results suggested that MV might be a potential TLR7 antagonist deserving of further study.
