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

We speculate that Jiaweibugan decoction has a significant effect in treating diabetic peripheral neuropathy through an anti-oxidative stress pathway. In this study, a diabetic rat model was established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. Rats were treated with Jiaweibugan decoction via intragastric administration. The levels of malondialdehyde and glutathione, which are indirect indexes of oxidative stress, in serum were determined using a colorimetric method. The expression levels of nuclear factor kappa B p65 mRNA and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, which are oxidative stress associated factors, in the dorsal root ganglion of spinal $4-6 segments were evaluated by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. Results showed that, Jiaweibugan decoction significantly ameliorated motor nerve conduction velocity in diabetic rats, effectively decreased malondialdehyde levels in serum and the expression of nuclear factor kappa B p65 mRNA and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase mRNA in the dorsa root ganglion, and increased glutathione levels in serum. Therefore, our experimental findings indicate that Jiaweibugan decoction plays an anti-oxidative stress role in the diabetic peripheral neuropathy process, which has a protective effect on peripheral nerve injury.展开更多

The level of NF-kB p65 in iron consuming subgroup of HIV-1 positive donors showed positive correlation with the serum ferritin level and with the rate of increase in viral load. The NF-kB p65 level also showed positive correlation with the level of superoxide produced by cultured Monocyte derived macrophages (MDMs) as well as with the levels of the immune activation markers viz. Tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and two of its soluble markers i.e. Tumour necrosis factor receptor types one and two (TNFRI and TNFRII) reported in earlier studies in the same subgroup. The opposing roles of NF-kB in situation of iron overload in HIV-1 infection i.e. disease enhancement on one hand and facilitation of effective antiretroviral therapy through activation of HIV-1 in the latently infected cells on other hand suggest the need for further research to weigh benefits and risks of iron therapy in situations where iron deficiency in HIV-1 infection may be a serious consideration.展开更多
