PG - 1711-6 AB - To study the role of oleanolic acid on interleukin (IL)-1beta-stimulated expression of inflammatory cytokines, and to explore its anti-inflammatory mechanism in SW982 cells, the toxicity of oleanolic acid on SW982 cells was detected by MTT; effects of different concentrations of oleanolic acid(5, 10, 20 mumol.L(-1)) on the expression of inflammatory factors IL-6, IL-8 and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) was tested at protein and m RNA levels. The study was performed in IL-1beta-stimulated SW982 cells together with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (real-time PCR) methods; the influence of oleanolic acid on the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphatidyl inositol-3-kinase/Akt (PI3K/Akt) and nuclear transcription factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) signaling pathways related protein was analyzed by Western blot. Results showed that different concentrations of oleanolic acid(
