Abstract
Glässer’s disease, caused by Haemophilus parasuis, is a chronic
disease related to an inflammatory immune response. Baicalin exerts important
biological functions. In this study, we explored the protective efficacy of
treatment with baicalin and the potential mechanism of activation of the MAPK
signaling pathway in porcine aortic vascular endothelial cells (PAVECs) induced
by H. parasuis. H. parasuis stimulated
expression of receptor for advanced glycation end products, induced a
significant increase in the level of protein kinase-α and protein kinase-δ
phosphorylation, and significantly up-regulated ERK, c-Jun N-terminal kinase,
and p38 phosphorylation in PAVECs. H. parasuis also
up-regulated the levels of apoptotic genes (Bax,
C-myc, and Fasl) and the expression levels
of c-Jun and c-Fos, and induced S-phase arrest in PAVECs. However, treatment
with baicalin inhibited expression of RAGE, suppressed H.
parasuis-induced protein kinase-α and protein kinase-δ
phosphorylation, reduced ERK, c-Jun N-terminal kinase, and p38 phosphorylation,
down-regulated apoptotic genes (Bax, C-myc,
and Fasl), attenuated phospho-c-Jun production from the
extracellular to the nuclei, and reversed S-phase arrest in PAVECs. In
conclusion, baicalin treatment inhibited the MAPK signaling pathway, thereby
achieving its anti-inflammatory responses, which provides a new strategy to
control H. parasuis infection.
