Elaeocarpusin Inhibits Mast Cell-Mediated Allergic Inflammation

Abstract: Mast cells are major effector cells for allergic responses that act by releasing inflammatory mediators, such as histamine and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Accordingly, different strategies have been pursued to develop anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory candidates by regulating the function of mast cells. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of elaeocarpusin (EL) on mast cell-mediated allergic inflammation. We isolated EL from Elaeocarpus sylvestris L. (Elaeocarpaceae), which is known t… Show more

“…Evidently, nothofagin, a dihydrochalcone of unprocessed rooibos tea, was reported to mitigate NF‐κB translocation, causing the diminution of TNF‐α and IL‐4 expression in antigen‐activated RBL‐2H3 cells (Kang et al, ). Moreover, elaeocarpusin from Elaeocarpus sylvestris significantly decreased TNF‐α and IL‐4 production via suppression of NF‐κB activation in mast cells (Kim et al, ). Besides, the suppressive effect of formononetin on NF‐κB activation also contributed to the attenuation of IL‐1β, IL‐6, and TNF‐α production (Xu & An, ).…”

“…This could be used to assess the anti-inflammatory activities of samples. Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is an important regulator of allergic inflammation, which controls the expression of pro-inflammatory mediators (Kim et al, 2018). When stimulated, NF-κB translocates to the nucleus, and regulates the expression of various transcription factors leading to the expression of pro-inflammatory enzymes like cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), which are responsible for the stimulation of inflammatory signaling molecules (Ahmad et al, 2017).…”
