Abstract

Background: Alpha lipoic acid (LA) is potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammation natural compound. To enhance the efficacy and stability of LA, LA-loaded calcium citrate nanoparticles were developed.

Objective: To investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of LA-loaded calcium citrate nanoparticles (LA-NPs) in HaCaT keratinocytes.

Methods: HaCaT cells were exposed under two inflammation stimuli conditions, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and Pb(NO₃ ) ₂ , and then were treated with or without LA and LA-NPs for 24 h. Cell viability and pattern of cell death were evaluated. In addition, the expression levels of inflammatory cytokines including IL-1 $gif.latex?\beta$ , IL-6, and TNF- $gif.latex?\alpha$ as well as inflammatory mediator COX-2 were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction.

Results: LA and LA-NPs decreased the percentage of cell death in both LPS and Pb(NO₃ )₂ -induced conditions. In LPS-induced cells, LA and LA-NPs attenuated the fold of gene expression levels in IL-1 $gif.latex?\beta$ , IL-6, TNF- $gif.latex?\alpha$ , and COX-2. Decreased expression in proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-1 $gif.latex?\beta$ and IL-6, was also observed in Pb(NO₃ ) ₂ -induced cells.

Conclusion: Our study demonstrated the anti-inflammatory effects of LA and LA-NPs on LPS and Pb(NO₃ ) ₂ - induced human keratinocytes.
