G-protein coupled receptor 43 (GPR43) serves as a for short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), implicated in neutrophil migration and inflammatory cytokine production. However, the intracellular signaling pathway mediating GPR43 remains unclear. Here, we show that β-arrestin 2 mediates internalization of by agonist. Agonism reduced phosphorylation nuclear translocation factor-κB (NF-κB), which was relieved short interfering RNA (siRNA) 2. Subsequently, mRNA expression proinflammatory cytokines,...

The recently defined type of cell death ferroptosis has garnered significant attention as a potential new approach to cancer treatment owing its more immunogenic nature when compared with apoptosis. Ferroptosis is characterized by the depletion glutathione (GSH)/glutathione peroxidase-4 (GPx4) and iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Diplacone (DP), geranylated flavonoid compound found in Paulownia tomentosa fruit, been identified have anti-inflammatory anti-radical activity. In this study,...

Abstract Tumor necrosis factor–related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) induces cell death in various types of cancer cells but has little or no effect on normal cells. Human hepatoma are resistant to TRAIL-induced apoptosis. Although butein is known mediate anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, about the mechanism terms apoptosis human In this study, we determined that enhances through upregulation DR5. Luciferase analysis showed a 5′-flanking region containing four...

Rotundifuran (RF), a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer compound, is natural compound predominantly present in Vitex Rotundifolia. Herein, we investigated the effects of RF on growth lung cancer cells. Our findings suggested that inhibits cell growth, highlighting its potential as therapeutic agent for treatment. Interestingly, observed inhibition was not due to apoptosis, caspases were activated DNA fragmentation did occur. Furthermore, found intracellular vacuoles autophagy induced,...

Allergic asthma is a major health burden on society as chronic respiratory disease characterized by inflammation and muscle tightening around the airways in response to inhaled allergens. Daphne kiusiana Miquel medicinal plant that can suppress allergic airway inflammation; however, its specific molecular mechanisms of action are unclear. In this study, we aimed elucidate which D. inhibits inflammation. We evaluated anti-inflammatory effects ethyl acetate (EA) fraction compound, daphnetin,...

beta-Ionone (ION), an end-ring analogue of beta-carotenoid, has been known to inhibit tumor cell growth and induce apoptosis in various types cancer cells. Nevertheless, its apoptosis-related molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we first investigated the by which ION sensitizes cells therapeutic potential necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). Notably, treatment with subtoxic concentrations TRAIL effectively inhibited viability hepatocellular carcinoma line Hep3B...
