Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has potent pro-inflammatory properties and acts on many cell types including vascular endothelial cells. The secretion of the cytokines MCP-1 (CCL2), interleukins, and the elevation of oxidative stress by LPS-activated vascular endothelial cells contribute substantially to the pathogenesis of vascular inflammation. However, the mechanism involving LPS-induced MCP-1, interleukins, and oxidative stress together is not well demonstrated. Serratiopeptidase (SRP) has been widely used for its anti-inflammatory effects. In this research study, our intention is to establish a potential drug candidate for vascular inflammation in cardiovascular disorder conditions. We used BALB/c mice because this is the most successful model of vascular inflammation, suggested and validated by previous research findings. Our present investigation examined the involvement of SRP in vascular inflammation caused by lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) in a BALB/c mice model. We analyzed the inflammation and changes in the aorta by H&E staining. SOD, MDA, and GPx levels were determined as per the instructions of the kit protocols. ELISA was used to measure the levels of interleukins, whereas immunohistochemistry was carried out for the evaluation of MCP-1 expression. SRP treatment significantly suppressed vascular inflammation in BALB/c mice. Mechanistic studies demonstrated that SRP significantly inhibited the LPS-induced production of proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-2, IL-1, IL-6, and TNF-α in aortic tissue. Furthermore, it also inhibited LPS-induced oxidative stress in the aortas of mice, whereas the expression and activity of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) decreased after SRP treatment. In conclusion, SRP has the ability to reduce LPS-induced vascular inflammation and damage by modulating MCP-1.
