Chemical variability of Rhododendron tomentosum (Ledum palustre) essential oils and their pro-apoptotic effect on lymphocytes and rheumatoid arthritis synoviocytes

Abstract

Rhododendron tomentosum (Ledum palustre) is an aromatic plant traditionally used for alleviating rheumatic complaints which makes it a potential candidate for a natural drug in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treatment. However, the effects of plants’ volatiles on apoptosis of synovial fibroblasts and infiltrating leucocytes of RA synovia, have not been reported. Volatile fraction of R. tomentosum is chemically variable and chemotypes of the plants need to be defined if the oil is to be used for therapeutic purposes. In the presented work, cluster analysis of literature data enabled to define 10 chemotypes of the plant. The volatile fractions of known composition were then tested for bioactivity using a RA-specific in vitro models. Essential oils of two wild types (γ-terpineol and palustrol/ledol type) and one in vitro chemotype (ledene oxide type) were obtained by hydrodistillation and their bioactivity was tested in two in vitro models: I - peripheral blood lymphocytes of healthy volunteers and II - synoviocytes and immune cells isolated from synovia of RA patients. The influence of oils on blood lymphocytes’ proliferation and apoptosis rates of synovia-derived cells was determined by flow cytometry. Dose-dependent inhibitory effect of the serial dilutions of R. tomentosum oils on proliferation rates of blood lymphocytes was found. At 1:400 dilutions, all the tested oils increased the number of necrotic cells in synovial fibroblasts from RA synovia. Additionally, increased proportions of late apoptotic cells were observed in leucocyte populations subjected to oils at 1:400 dilution.
