PG - 43-50 LID - S1347-8613(15)00206-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.jphs.2015.10.002 [doi] AB - The nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) transcription factors control many physiological processes including inflammation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. In our search for NF-kappaB inhibitors from natural resources, we identified 4',6-dihydroxy-4-methoxyisoaurone (ISOA) as an inhibitor of NF-kappaB activation from the seeds of Trichosanthes kirilowii. However, the mechanism by which ISOA inhibits NF-kappaB activation is not fully understood. In the present study, we demonstrated the effect of ISOA on NF-kappaB activation in TNF-alpha-stimulated HeLa cells. This compound suppressed NF-kappaB activation through the inhibition of IkappaB kinase (IKK) activation. ISOA also has an influence 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-kappaB alpha (IkappaBalpha), and subsequent phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of p65. The suppression of NF-kappaB activation by ISOA led to the down-regulation of target genes involved in inflammation, proliferation, as well as potentiation of TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis. Taken together, this study extends our understanding on the mechanisms underlying 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. CI - Copyright (c) 2015 The Authors.
