PurposeTo investigate the effect of Celastrol (CLT) on Aspergillus fumigatus (A. fumigatus) keratitis.MethodsPrimary peritoneal macrophages of C57BL/6 mice were pretreated with CLT beforeA. fumigatushyphae stimulation. C57BL/6 mice were infected withA. fumigatus. Mice corneas were treated with CLT from 1 day post infection. Clinical score, PCR, ELISA and Western blot were used to test expression of anti-inflammatory mediators, proinflammatory mediators and Lectin-like oxidized low-density lipoprotein receptor 1(LOX-1). The protein levels of p38MAPK after pretreated with CLT in macrophages of C57BL/6 mice challenged withA. fumigatuswere tested by Western blot.ResultsC57BL/6 mice treated with CLT from 1 day post infection showed decreased disease, IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-10, TGF-β, MIP-2 and LOX-1 levels. CLT treatment markedly inhibiting mRNA and proteins levels of anti-inflammatory mediators, proinflammatory mediators and LOX-1 in macrophages of C57BL/6 mice compared with control group. CLT pretreatment beforeA. fumigatusstimulation obviously inhibiting protein levels of p38MAPK versus DMSO pretreated group in macrophages of C57BL/6 mice challenged withA. fumigatus.ConclusionThese data provide evidences that CLT amelioratesA. fumigatuskeratitis of C57BL/6 mice via inhibiting LOX-1. CLT pretreatment beforeA. fumigatusstimulation decreased levels of inflammation in macrophages of C57BL/6 mice, which may be regulated by p-p38MAPK.
