Patulin (PAT) is a natural product isolated from several species of fungi. Here, we evaluated the effect of PAT (62.5–4,000 ng/ml) in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated murine peritoneal macrophages. Cell viability assay showed that PAT at concentrations up to 250 ng/ml did not affect macrophage viability. PAT (250 ng/ml) significantly reduced LPS-induced nitric oxide production (by 98.4%), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression (by 83.5%), and iNOS messenger ribonucleic acid expression (by 100.0%). Moreover, PAT significantly reduced LPS-induced interleukin-1β (by 80.6%), cluster of differentiation (CD) 69 (by 63.1%), and Toll-like receptor (TLR) 4 (by 91.9%) protein expression. Finally, PAT significantly reduced LPS-triggered phosphorylation of all mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) assessed: extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK; by 89.5%), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK; by 77.5%), and p38 (by 72.3%). Taken together, these data suggest that PAT downregulates acute inflammatory response, inhibiting nitric oxide production by suppressing CD69-TLR4/ERK-JNK-p38 MAPKs/ Nos2 /iNOS signaling pathway.
