The aim of this study was to determine whether britanin, isolated from the flowers of Inula japonica (Inulae Flos), modulates the generation of allergic inflammatory mediators in activated mast cells. To understand the biological activity of britanin, the authors investigated its effects on the generation of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), leukotriene C4 (LTC4), and degranulation in IgE/Ag-induced bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs). Britanin dose dependently inhibited degranulation and the generations of PGD2 and LTC4 in BMMCs. Biochemical analyses of IgE/Ag-mediated signaling pathways demonstrated that britanin suppressed the phosphorylation of Syk kinase and multiple downstream signaling processes, including phospholipase Cγ1 (PLCγ1)-mediated calcium influx, the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs; extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, c Jun NH2-terminal kinase and p38), and the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway. Taken together, the findings of this study suggest britanin suppresses degranulation and eicosanoid generation by inhibiting the Syk-dependent pathway and britanin might be useful for the treatment of allergic inflammatory diseases.

The authors investigated the effect of manassantin B (Man B) isolated from Saururus chinensis (S.chinensis) on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-dependent prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) generation in mouse bone marrow derived-mast cells (BMMCs). Man B inhibited the generation of PGD2 dose-dependently by inhibiting COX-2 expression in immunoglobulin E (IgE)/Ag-stimulated BMMCs. To elucidate the mechanism responsible for the inhibition of COX-2 expression by Man B, the effects of Man B on the activation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB), a transcription factor essential and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) for COX-2 induction, were examined. Man B attenuated the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 and its DNA-binding activity by inhibiting inhibitors of kappa Bα (IκBα) degradation and concomitantly suppressing IκB kinase (IKK) phosphorylation. In addition, Man Bsuppressed phosphorylation of MAPKs including extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38. It was also found that Man B suppressed Fyn kinase activation and consequent downstream signaling processes, including those involving Syk, Gab2, and Akt. Taken together, the present results suggest that Man B suppresses COX-2 dependent PGD2 generation by primarily inhibiting Fyn kinase in FcεRI-mediated mast cells.

The aim of this study was to evaluate whether citreorosein (CIT), a naturally occurring anthraquinone isolated from Polygoni cuspidati (P. cuspidati) radix, modulates degranulation and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO)-dependent leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)) generation in mast cells. Cit suppresses both degranulationand the generation of LTC(4) in a dose-dependent manner in stem cell factor (SCF)-mediated mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs). With regard to its molecular mechanism of action, we investigated the effects of CIT on intracellular signaling and mast cell activation employing BMMCs. Binding of SCF to c-Kit on mast cell membranes induced increases in intrinsic tyrosine kinase Syk activity and activation of multiple downstream events including phosphorylation of phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ), mobilization of intracellular Ca(2+), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), Akt, MAP kinases (MAPKs), translocation of phospho-phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) and 5-LO. The results from the biochemical analysis demonstrate that CIT attenuates degranulation and LTC(4) generation through the suppression of multiple step signaling and would be beneficial for the prevention of allergic inflammation.

Emodin, a naturally occurring anthraquinone derivative isolated from Polygoni cuspidati radix, has several beneficial pharmacologic effects, which include anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, and anti-inflammatory activities. In this study, the authors examined the effect of emodin on the production of proinflammatory cytokines, such as, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6, in mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) plus the calcium ionophore A23187. To investigate the mechanism responsible for the regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokine production by emodin, the authors assessed its effects on the activations of transcriptional factor nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs). Emodin attenuated the nuclear translocation of (NF)-κB p65 and its DNA-binding activity by reducing the phosphorylation and degradation of IκBα and the phosphorylation of IκB kinase B (IKK). Furthermore, emodin dose-dependently attenuated the phosphorylations of MAPKs, such as, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), p38 MAP kinase, and the stress-activated protein kinases (SAPK)/c-Jun-N-terminal kinase (JNK). Taken together, the findings of this study suggest that the anti-inflammatory effects of emodin on PMA plus A23187-stimulated BMMCs are mediated via the inhibition of NF-κB activation and of the MAPK pathway.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of n-hexane extracts from bones and internalorgans of Japanese eel, Anguilla japonica (HEE), on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-dependent prostaglandin D₂(PGD₂) generation in stem cell factor (SCF), IL-10, plus LPS-induced mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) and on passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) in mice. HEE suppressed SCF/IL-10/LPS-induced PGD₂ generation, and concomitantly reduced COX-2 protein expression dose-dependently. To understand the mechanistic basis for the inhibition of PGD₂ generation by HEE, we examined the effects of HEE on upstream signaling pathways essential for COX-2 induction. HEE was found to inhibit the translocation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 subunit to the nucleus and its DNA-binding ability through the inhibition of TAK1, IKK and IκB phosphorylation. Furthermore, HEE also attenuated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-mediated regulation of DNA binding of activator protein-1 (AP-1). Moreover, oral administration of HEE inhibited anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) IgE-induced PCA in a dose dependent manner. Taken together, the present study provides new insights into the anti-inflammatory activity of HEE, which could be a promising candidate to be used for an inflammatory therapy.ⓒ2013 Elsevier Ltd.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of saucerneol F (SF) on the productions of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α and IL-6, in IgE/Ag-induced mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs). SF dose-dependently suppressed the transcriptions of these pro-inflammatory cytokines. To identify the molecular mechanisms responsible for these suppressions, we examined the effect of SF on three important transcription factors; activator protein-1 (AP-1), nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and STAT5. It was found that SF inhibited the nuclear translocation of the p65 subunit of NF-κB to the nucleus and its DNA-binding ability. SF also attenuated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-mediated AP-1 activation and STAT5 activation. Biochemical analysis of FcεRI-mediated signaling pathways demonstrated that SF inhibited the phosphorylation of Fyn and multiple downstream signaling processes, including Syk, Gab2, and the Akt/IKK/IκB and MAPK pathways. Taken together, our results suggest that SF inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines by suppressing Fyn kinase-dependent signaling events.Crown Copyright ⓒ2013 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Carbon ¯lm, used as the coating of the Mo grid in pulsed-controlled grid traveling wave tubes, can eectively suppress electron emission from the Mo grid contaminated by the emission material of the hot cathode, i.e. BaO or Ba, so that the lifetime of the tubes can be prolonged signi¯cantly but the reasons for it have not been well understood. To study the eect of it on the BaO/Mo system under high temperature, carbon ¯lms were prepared on Mo substrate at room temperature by a dual-ion-beam sputtering deposition system, and post-annealing was conducted to know their microstructure under high temperature. In our experiments, BaO layers were coated on Mo and carbon-coated Mo substrates by the chemical method to compare with each other, and the prepared BaO/Mo and BaO/C/Mo samples were annealed at two dierent temperatures of 973 K and 1223 K in order to investigate the interaction between barium oxide and carbon ¯lm under high temperature. The results show that the BaO/C/Mo changes into C/Mo after the exhaustion of BaO at 1223 K, nevertheless, This does not happen at 973 K. In this paper, the mechanism whereby the addition of carbon ¯lm can suppress the grid emission under its operating condi-tion is discussed according to the experimental results and the calculation of the reaction free energy.

ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: The flowers of Inula japonica (Inulae Flos) have long been used in traditional medicine for the treatment of bronchitis, digestive disorders, and inflammation. However, the mechanisms underlying its anti-inflammatory effects remain yet to be elucidated. The objectives of this study were 1) to assess the anti-allergic activity of the ethanol extract of flowers of Inula japonica extract (IFE) in vivo, 2) to investigate the mechanism of its action on mast cells in vitro, and 3) to identify its major phytochemical compositions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The anti-allergic activity of IFE was evaluated using mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) in vitro and a passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) animal model in vivo. The effects of IFE on mast cell activation were evaluated in terms of degranulation, eicosanoid generation, Ca(2+) influx, and immunoblotting of various signaling molecules. RESULTS: IFE inhibited degranulation and the generation of eicosanoids (PGD(2) and LTC(4)) in stem cell factor (SCF)-stimulated BMMCs. Biochemical analysis of the SCF-mediated signaling pathways demonstrated that IFE inhibited the activation of multiple downstream signaling processes including mobilization of intracellular Ca(2+) and phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs), PLCγ1, and cPLA(2) pathways. When administered orally, IFE attenuated themast cell-mediated PCA reaction in IgE-sensitized mice. Its major phytochemical composition included three sesquiterpenes, 1-O-acetylbritannilactone, britanin and tomentosin. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that IFE modulates eicosanoids generation and degranulation through the suppression of SCF-mediated signaling pathways that would be beneficial for the prevention of allergic inflammatory diseases. Anti-allergic activity of IFE may be in part attributed particularly to the presence of britanin and tomentosin as major components evidenced by a HPLC analysis.

During our on-going studies to identify bioactive compounds in medicinal herbs, we found that saucerneol F (SF), a naturally occurring sesquilignan isolated from Saururus chinensis (S. chinensis), showed in vitro anti-inflammatory activity. In this study, we examined the effects of SF on the generation of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) dependent leukotriene C4 (LTC4), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) dependent prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), and on phospholipase Cγ1 (PLCγ1)-mediated degranulation in SCF-induced mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs). SF inhibited eicosanoid (PGD2 and LTC4) generation and degranulation dose-dependently. To identify the molecular mechanisms underlying the inhibition of eicosanoid generation and degranulation by SF, we examined the effects of SF on the phosphorylation of PLCγ1, intracellular Ca(2+) influx, the translocation of cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2) and 5-LO, and on the phosphorylation of MAP kinases (MAPKs). SF was found to reduce intracellular Ca(2+) influx by inhibiting PLCγ1 phosphorylation and suppressing the nuclear translocations of cPLA2 and 5-LO via the phosphorylations of MAPKs, including extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase-1/2 (ERK1/2), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), and p38. Taken together, these results suggest that SF may be useful for regulating mast cell-mediated inflammatory responses by inhibiting degranulation and eicosanoid generation.

Previously we reported that saucerneol D (SD), a naturally occurring sesquilignan isolated from Saururus chinensis (S. chinensis) suppressed lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced nitric oxide (NO) production in RAW 264.7 cells. The aim of this study was to elucidate whether SD modulates the generation of other inflammatory mediators in activated mast cells. We investigated the effects of SD on cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-dependent prostaglandin D(2) (PGD(2)) and 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO)-dependent leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)) generations as well as degranulation in cytokine-stimulated mouse bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs). Biochemical analyses of the cytokine-mediated signaling pathways showed that SD suppressed the phosphorylation of Syk kinase and multiple downstream signaling processes including phospholipase Cγ1 (PLCγ1)-mediated intracellular Ca(2+) influx and activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs; including extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38) and the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway. Taken together, the present study suggests that SD suppresses eicosanoid generation and degranulation through Syk-dependent pathway in BMMCs.
