<P><B>Abstract</B></P><P>Activation of the NF-κB and mitogen activated protein (MAP) kinases plays an important role in the expression of inflammatory genes such as adhesion molecules. Although compound C is known as an AMPK inhibitor, AMPK-independent action of it has been recognized. Effects on the expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 by compound C were investigated in TNF-α-activated human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) <I>in vitro</I> and in thoracic aorta of rats treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) <I>in vivo</I>. Compound C inhibited ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression at the transcriptional as well as translational level in TNF-α-activated HUVECs. In both DN-AMPK- and AMPKα<SUB>1</SUB>-siRNA-transfected HUVECs, compound C still inhibited TNF-α-induced VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 expression, indicating that this is AMPK-independent action. Interestingly, compound C significantly inhibited NF-κB activity and translocation of p65 to nucleus in HUVECs when activated with TNF-α. Importantly, administration of compound C (0.2mg/kg) significantly reduced expression of both ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in LPS-treated rat thoracic aortas. In addition, compound C significantly inhibited iNOS and production of NO in both TNF-α- and LPS-activated RAW 264.7 cells. Finally, compound C significantly inhibited phosphorylation of Akt and p-38MAPK but not protein kinase c or ERK1/2 in HUVECs. Taken together, we conclude that adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, VCAM-1) are to be the novel targets of compound C in preventing inflammatory insult to endothelial cells independent of AMPK inhibition via inhibition of NF-κB activity along with inhibition of phosphorylation of PI3K and P38 MAPK.</P>
