This study aimed to explore the effect of DT-13 （25（R,S）-ruscogenin- 1-O- [ β-d-glucopyranosyl- （1→2） ] [ β-d-xylopyranosyl-（ 1→3） 1-β -d- fucopyranoside） on tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α-induced vascu...This study aimed to explore the effect of DT-13 （25（R,S）-ruscogenin- 1-O- [ β-d-glucopyranosyl- （1→2） ] [ β-d-xylopyranosyl-（ 1→3） 1-β -d- fucopyranoside） on tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α-induced vascular inflamma- tion and the potential molecular mechanisms. In vitro, DT-β suppressed TNF-α-induced adhesion and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells （HUVECs） by inhibiting the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （ ICAM-1 ） and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 （VCAM-1）. DT-β markedly suppressed NF-KB p65 phosphoryl- ation, and when NF-KB p65 was over-expressed, the inhibitory effect of DT-β on adhesion molecular decreased. DT-β also suppressed TNF-α induced luciferase activities of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 promoter containing NF-KB binding sites. Furthermore DT-β markedly suppressed p38 phosphorylation and Src degradation induced by TNF-α DT-β at 4 mg·kg- 1 prevented vascular , whereas had no significant effect on ERK and JNK activation. In-vivo, inflammation and the expression of adhesion molecules induced by TNF-α in mice. These findings suggest that DT- β abrogates vascular inflammation by down-regulating adhesion molecules associated with modulating the NF-KB, p38MAPK, Src signaling pathways, and NF-KB binding site is at least one of the targets of DT-β. This study pro- vides novel information regarding the mechanism by which DT-β exerts its effects on vascular inflammation, which is important for the onset and progression of various diseases.展开更多

Studies have shown that endothelial activation contributes to the pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclero- sis, diabetic vasculopathy, heart failure and hypertension. In the present study, the effects of MLB on endothelial activation were investigated. Lipopolysaccharide （LPS） 1 mg L^-1 was employed to induce endothelial activation, which was determined by relative gene expression and endothelial adhesion assay. Results showed that pretreatment with MLB attenuated LPS-induced ICAM1, VCAM1 and TNF-α upregulation in human dermal microvascular endo- thelial cells （HMEC-1） in dose-dependent manner, which contributed to the reduction of THP-1 adhesion to HMEC-1. Furthermore, it was revealed that 100 μmol · L^-1 MLB significantly decreased the nuclear translocation of NF-KB p65, a critical transcription factor in LPS-indueed inflammatory response, through the inhibition of IKBμ degradation. Besides, the transcriptional activity of NF-KB p65 was also inhibited by the pretreatment of MLB. Mo- reover, MLB pretreatment considerably inhibited LPS-induced p38 phosphorylation, which at least partly contribu- ted to the reduction of ICAM1 expression. In conclusion, these findings suggest that MLB inhibits LPS-induced nu- clear translocation and transcripitional activity of NF-KB, thus attenuates the increased expression of adhesion mole- cules and inflammatory factors, protects endothelial cells from LPS-induced activation.展开更多

In our search for NF-KB inhibitors from natural resources, we identified 4＇,6-dihydroxy-4-methoxyisoaurone （ISOA） as an inhibitor of NF-KB activation from the seeds of Tricho- santhes kirilowii. However, the mechanism by which ISOA inhibits NF-KB activation is not fully understood. In the present study, we demonstrated the effect of ISOA on NF-KB activation in TNF-α-stimulated HeLa cells. This com- pound suppressed NF-KB activation through the inhibition of IKB kinase （IKK） activation. ISOA also has an influ- ence on upstream signaling of IKK through the inhibition of expression of adaptor proteins, TNF receptor-associated factor 2 （TRAF2） and receptor interacting protein 1 （RIP1）. Consequently, ISOA blocked the phosphorylation and degradation of the inhibitor of NF-KB alpha （IKBα） , and subsequent phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of p65. The suppression of NF-KB activation by ISOA led to the down-regulation of target genes involved in inflam- mation, proliferation, angiogenesis and invasion, as well as potentiation of TNF-α-induced apoptosis at least in part through activation of caspase-8. Taken together, this study extends our understanding on the mechanisms underly- ing the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer activities of ISOA. Our findings provide new insight into the molecular mechanisms and a potential application of ISOA for inflammatory diseases as well as certain cancers associated with abnormal NF-KB activation.展开更多
