“…Among the compounds of PEE that could be responsible for the observed effects, chicoric acid, the most abundant acid found in PEE, has been shown to possess antioxidant, antiangiogenic, anti-inflammatory, antiallergic, antidiabetic, and anti-HIV activities [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ]. Among these, only the strong antioxidant power of chicoric acid can be matched to our data, whereas the other findings from our experiments are completely new for P. oceanica , and have not been reported for chicoric acid so far.…”

Seagrasses are high plants sharing adaptive metabolic features with both terrestrial plants and marine algae, resulting in a phytocomplex possibly endowed with interesting biological properties. The aim of this study is to evaluate the in vitro activities on skin cells of an ethanolic extract obtained from the leaves of Posidonia oceanica (L.) Delile, family Potamogetonaceae, herein named Posidonia ethanolic extract (PEE). PEE showed high radical scavenging activity, high phenolic content, and resulted rich in chicoric acid, as determined through HPLC-MS analysis. The use of MTT assay on fibroblasts showed a PEE cytotoxicity threshold (IC05) of 50 µg/mL at 48 h, while a sub-toxic dose of 20 µg/mL induced a significant increase of fibroblast growth rate after 10 days. In addition, an ELISA assay revealed that PEE doses of 5 and 10 µg/mL induced collagen production in fibroblasts. PEE induced dose-dependent mushroom tyrosinase inhibition, up to about 45% inhibition at 1000 µg/mL, while 50% reduction of melanin was observed in melanoma cells exposed to 50 µg/mL PEE. Finally, PEE lipolytic activity was assessed by measuring glycerol release from adipocytes following triglyceride degradation. In conclusion, we have collected new data about the biological activities of the phytocomplex of P. oceanica seagrass on skin cells. Our findings indicate that PEE could be profitably used in the development of products for skin aging, undesired hyperpigmentation, and cellulite.

“…Expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines was increased through antigen-IgE cross-linking. TNF-α contained in the granules of mast cells stimulates adaptive immunity by activating NF-κB and transendothelial migration of immune cells 38 . NF-κB is a key transcription factor that stimulates the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines 39 .…”

Polydatin(PD) shows anti-allergic inflammatory effect, and this study investigated its underlying mechanisms in in vitro and in vivo models. IgE-mediated passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) and passive systemic anaphylaxis (PSA) models were used to confirm PD effect in vivo. Various signaling pathway proteins in mast cell were examined. RT-PCR, ELISA and western blotting were applied when appropriate. Activity of Lyn and Fyn kinases in vitro was measured using the Kinase Enzyme System. PD dose-dependently reduced the pigmentation of Evans blue in the PCA model and decreased the concentration of serum histamine in PSA model, and attenuated the degranulation of mast cells without generating cytotoxicity. PD decreased pro-inflammatory cytokine expression (TNF-α, IL-4, IL-1β, and IL-8). PD directly inhibited activity of Lyn and Syk kinases and down-regulated downstream signaling pathway including MAPK, PI3K/AKT and NF-kB. In addition, PD also targets Nrf2/HO-1 pathway to inhibit mast cell-derived allergic inflammatory reactions. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that PD is a possible therapeutic candidate for allergic inflammatory diseases. It directly inhibited activity of Lyn and Syk kinases and down-regulates the signaling pathway of MAPK, PI3K/AKT and NF-κB, and up-regulates the signaling pathway of Nrf2/HO-1 to inhibit the degranulation of mast cells.

“…TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 are effective mediators of chronic inflammation (2). TNF-α mediates the inflammatory response in the early phase of an allergic reaction and IL-1β contributes to hypersensitivity and the inflammatory response (23). IL-6 is secreted in mast cells and is associated with acute allergic reactions and a chronic inflammatory response (21).…”

Abstract. Various allergic diseases cause allergic inflammation, which is mediated by mast cells. The current study investigated the anti-allergic inflammatory effects of formononetin and its mechanism of action in vitro using mast cells. Levels of histamine and pro-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6, were measured to assess the effects of formononetin on allergic inflammation. The activation of intracellular calcium and nuclear factor (NF)-κB, as well as the activity of caspase-1, were assessed to determine the mechanism of action. It was determined that difference concentrations of formononetin (0.1, 1 and 10 µM) suppressed histamine release and secretion of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6. Further investigations indicated that the effects of formononetin were associated with a reduction of intracellular calcium, suppression of NF-κB activation and upstream IκKα phosphorylation and inhibition of caspase-1 activity. Therefore, the results of the current study demonstrated that formononetin ameliorated mast cell-mediated allergic inflammation.
