PG - 972-9 LID - 10.1089/jmf.2014.3314 [doi] AB - This study explored the anti-inflammatory mechanisms by which osthole acted on HepG2 cells cultured in a differentiated medium from cultured 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cells. HepG2 cells, a human liver cell line, were treated with various concentrations of osthole in differentiated media from cultured 3T3-L1 cells to evaluate proinflammatory cytokines, inflammatory mediators, and signaling pathways. We used enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits to determine the levels of proinflammatory cytokines, real-time polymerase chain reaction to assay the mRNA expression, and western blot to determine the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) proteins. We also investigated inflammatory mechanism pathway members, including mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear transcription factor kappa-B (NF-kappaB). Osthole was able to suppress the levels of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1beta and IL-6, as well as chemokines monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and IL-8. In addition, COX-2 was suppressed and HO-1 expression was increased in a concentration-dependent manner. Osthole was also able to decrease IkappaB-alpha phosphorylation and suppress the phosphorylation of MAPKs. These results suggest that osthole has anti-inflammatory effects as demonstrated by the decreased proinflammatory cytokine and mediator production through suppression of the NF-kappaB and MAPK signaling pathways in HepG2 cells when they are incubated on the differentiated medium from 3T3-L1 cells.
