And their related transcripα-induced A549 celtion factors and signaling pathway were also analyzed.RESULTS: The results showed that BJF, BYF and YZF could significantly decrease the expression levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines induced by CSE or TNF-α. Furthermore, BJF, BYF and YZF could suppress CSE-or TNF-α-induced activation of nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-κB) transcription factors and its corresponding pathways. Taken together, these data implied that BJF, BYF and YZF effectively inhibited CSE-or TNF-α-induced inflammatory response in alveolar epithelial cell, which was due to their inhibition effect on NF-κB pathways.CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that the Tiaobu Feishen therapies may protect human alveolar epithelial cells against cigarette smoking and TNF-α-induced inflammation. NF-κB pathway may involve in the actions.展开更多

Their related transcription factors and signaling pathways were also analyzed.RESULTS: BJF, BYF, and YZF significantly inhibited the LPS-or CSE-induced expressions of TNF-α, IL-8,MMP-9, TIMP-1, and SOD in H292 cells, and suppressed the activation of transcription factors including nuclear transcription factor(NF)-κB, activator protein(AP)-1, and signal transducers and activators of transcription(STAT) 3 and their corresponding pathways, including NF-κB, mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK), STAT3, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPAR).CONCLUSION: BJF, BYF, and YZF effectively suppressed inflammatory responses, protease-antiprotease imbalance, and oxidative stress induced by LPS and CSE, an effect that was closely associated with the inhibition of the NF-κB, MAPK, STAT3, and PPAR pathways.展开更多

All formulations contained serum. Pro-inflammatory cytokines were measured in the supernatants using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The activity of STAT3 DNA binding was detected using electrophoretic mobility shift assay and janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription(JAK/STAT) pathway activation was assessed using Western blotting.RESULTS: The results showed that BYF, BJF and YZF treatment strongly decreased the CSE-induced secretion of interleukin(IL)-6, IL-8, tumor necrosis factor-α and matrix metalloproteinase-9 by THP-1 cells. Furthermore, BYF, BJF and YZF treatment attenuated STAT3 DNA binding capacity and JAK2 and STAT3 were shown to be phosphorylated.CONCLUSION: The data revealed that BYF, BJF and YZF effectively inhibited a CSE-induced inflammatory response in THP-1 cells by limiting activation of the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.展开更多
