PECTINASE-MODIFIED RED GINSENG (GS-E3D) INHIBIT NF-ΚB TRANSLOCATION AND NITRIC OXIDE PRODUCTION IN LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDE-STIMULATED RAW 264.7 CELLS
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 9
Abstract
Objective: Red ginseng has been used as traditional medicines and functional foods in the world, because of its health benefits. The aim of this study was to elucidate the anti-inflammatory effect and mechanism of pectinase-modified red ginseng (GS-E3D) with a cellular model of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 cells.Methods: To study the anti-inflammatory effect of GS-E3D, the key inflammation mediators such as nitric oxide (NO),prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), and interleukin (IL)-6 production as well as on nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) activation, were measured by using the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)and Western blotting.Results: GS-E3D potently inhibited TNF-α and IL-6 and also diminished NO over-production, which was accompanied by the down-regulation of iNOS expression. GS-E3D effectively suppressed LPS-induced NF-κB activation through inhibiting the hyper-phosphorylation and degradation of IκB-α and phosphorylation of p38, ERK1/2 and JNK in MAPK signaling pathway.Conclusion: GS-E3D has a potential to be as an anti-inflammatory agent for functional food or cosmetic materials targeting on the NF-κB p65 and MAPKs signaling pathways.Â
