Abstract

Mussel (Mytilus coruscus) water extract had strong anti-inflammatory activities, but the effects and its mechanisms of mussel on anti-inflammatory properties in vivo remain to be determined. This study, therefore, was designed to investigate anti-inflammatory activities of mussel water extract containing a large amounts of taurine (151.96 nmol/mg) using the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory zebrafish model. In this study, mussel water extract containing taurine shows potent protective effects against the cell death stimulated by LPS exposure in zebrafish embryos. In addition, zebrafish subjected to LPS treatment exhibited significantly increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) levels. However, mussel water extract markedly suppressed LPS-induced ROS and NO production. Our results indicate that mussel water extract attenuated inflammation by inhibiting the LPS-induced intracellular ROS and NO production in zebrafish embryos. These findings could demonstrate the anti-inflammatory activity of mussel water extract containing taurine, which might have a protective effects on inflammatory diseases.
