Background: Sepsis is a major cause of death for ICU patients. Sepsis development depends heavily on the presence of mature IL-1 beta cytokine. This study evaluates the potential therapeutic properties of a bioactive compound known as 6-gingerol on sepsis. This compound has previously been demonstrated to possess anti-inflammatory properties both in vivo and in vitro.Methods: C57B1/6 mice was used to establish models of sepsis by means of cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Upon treatment with 6-gingerol, we assessed the survival rate of mice and measured the levels of key pro-inflammatory cytokines in serum and colon tissues. Sepsis pathogenesis was further explored using the RAW264.7 cell line and bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) treated with ATP and lipopolysaccharide (LPS). The impact of 6-gingerol on pyroptosis was also examined. In addition, we assessed the role of MAPK signaling in 6-gingerol-induced effects in BMDMs and RAW264.7 cells.Results: In CLP mice, 6-gingerol significantly ameliorated sepsis development, which was associated with the reduction of serum IL-1 beta. In BMDMs and RAW264.7 cells, 6-gingerol strongly attenuated pyroptosis as well as the release of caspase-1p20, HMGB1, mature IL-1 beta, IL-18 in response to ATP and LPS treatment. 6-Gingerol conferred these effects by blocking MAPK activation. Exposure to an ERK agonist (EGF) reversed effects of 6-gingerol, causing pyroptosis, LDH and caspase-1p20 release.Conclusions: By targeting MAPK signaling, 6-gingerol significantly suppressed secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and inhibited macrophage cells pyroptosis resulting in overall inhibition of sepsis development.
