The sesquiterpene lactones, including five major constituents, may be the main active constituent of X. sibiricum for its anti-asthma activity. SL-XS exerted its anti-asthma effect by modulating the Th1/Th2 balance via the JAK/STAT signaling pathway.
Background: Asthma is a complex airway disease involving a variety of cells and cytokines. Xanthium sibiricum Patrin ex Widder (X. sibiricum) is a traditional Chinese medicine for various immune diseases, especially allergic rhinitis and asthma. Sesquiterpene lactones are the main bioactive and most abundant constituent, and are characteristic component of the plant. We explore whether sesquiterpene lactones from X. sibiricum (SL-XS) is the main active constitute for its anti-asthma activity.Purpose: In the present study, SL-XS was isolated, the major compounds were isolated and identified in extract of SL-XS, and the anti-asthma activity of SL-XS was validated in vivo.Methods: SL-XS was isolated by a standard phytochemical method. The structures of major sesquiterpene lac tones were identified by NMR and LC-MS spectra. The contents of major SL-XS were analyzed by HPLC. The anti asthma effect of SL-XS was evaluated in a house dust mite (HDM)-induced mouse model. Results: The sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from X. sibiricum, and five major constituents i.e., 8-epi-xan-thatin-113, 513-epoxide (1), tomentosin (2), 8-epi-xanthatin (3), 2-epi-xanthumin (4) and sibiriolide B (5) were identified from SL-XS. Oral administration of SL-XS dose-dependently ameliorated airway inflammation and remodeling in HDM-challenged asthma mouse model. Furthermore, SL-XS treatment inhibited the upregulation of proinflammatory and Th2 cytokines, while reversed the downregulation of Th1 related cytokines. In addition, SL-XS regulated the balance between T-bet and GATA-3. Moreover, SL-XS inhibited the upregulation of JAK1, pJAK1, JAK2, p-JAK2, JAK3, p-JAK3 and p-STAT6 in HDM-challenged mice.Conclusion: The sesquiterpene lactones including five major constituents may be the main anti-asthma active constituent of X. sibiricum. SL-XS exerted its anti-asthma effect by modulating the Th1/Th2 balance via the JAK/ STAT signaling pathway.
