caffeic acid/necrosis

We previously reported that caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) suppresses 3T3-L1 differentiation to adipocytes through the inhibition of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP) alpha, fatty acid synthase (Fas) and adipocytes-specific fatty

Recruitment of specific leukocyte subpopulations at the site of inflammation requires a series of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs)-mediated interactions. The major CAMs, viz., intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), and E-selectin are expressed on

The objective of this study was to assess whether tyrosol and caffeic acid are able to inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha release. TNF is one of the most important cytokines involved in inflammatory reactions. The results show that both tyrosol and caffeic

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the anticancer activity of caffeic acid n-butyl ester against lung cancer cell line A549 and to investigate the underlying mechanism. IC50 was determined by MTT assay. Fluorescent probes DCFH-DA, Indo 1/AM, DiOC6 were used to determine ROS, Ca2+, and

The anti-inflammatory effects of caffeic acid (CA), caffeic acid methyl ester (CM) and di-O-acetylcaffeic acid (DAC) were investigated in rats using the carrageenin-induced edema model and the antinociceptive effects of these compounds were also assessed in mice by means of the acetic acid-induced

Caffeic acid (3,4-dihydroxycinnamic acid, CA) has been reported to have anti-inflammatory activity in animal models. However, the mechanisms underlying the anti-inflammatory effects of CA in skin inflammation are only partially understood. The present study was designed to investigate the effects

13 quinic acid derivatives along with caffeic acid, methyl caffeate, myo-inositol, bis[5-formylfurfuryl] ether and 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin were isolated from the ethanol extract of the flower buds of Lonicera bournei Hemsl., among which 8 compounds were firstly obtained from this genus. The effects of

In this study, we aimed to investigate the neuroprotective effects of caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), an active component of propolis purified from honeybee hives, on photothrombotic cortical ischemic injury in mice. Permanent focal ischemia was achieved in the medial frontal and somatosensory

Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is an antioxidant component of propolis, a natural product secreted by honeybee. Recent literature shows that CAPE inhibits nuclear factor kappa B (NFkappaB) activation in cell lines. Since NFkappaB was shown to be a crucial factor in neuroinflammation and to be

Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) was screened for hypoglycemic and liver-protective activity in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. Diabetes was established by single dose STZ injection (45 mgkg(-1) bw, i.p.) for 48h. CAPE was injected at doses of 10, 20 and 30 microM kg(-1) bw day(-1)

The effects of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) on the regulation of macrophage-specific colony stimulating factor (CSF-1) gene expression have been studied in HL-60 cells during monocytic differentiation. CSF-1 transcripts were undetectable in uninduced HL-60 cells, reached maximal levels by 3 h of

A series of sage phenolics was tested for activity against a panel of Leishmania parasites and for immunomodulatory effects on macrophage functions including release of tumour necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interferon (IFN)-like activities. For this, functional bioassays were

OBJECTIVE The effects of propolis and phenolic compounds (caffeic acid - Caf; dihydrocinnamic acid - Cin; p-coumaric acid - Cou) in the same quantity found in our propolis sample were investigated on human laryngeal epidermoid carcinoma (HEp-2) cells. METHODS Cell viability, apoptosis/necrosis and

Hyperthermal stress and resulting free radical generation is known to impair endurance capacity and immune cell redistribution during prolonged exercise. Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE), a phenolic compound purified from propolis, has many biological and pharmacological activities including

Liver cell death by apoptosis and necrosis occurs upon the liver injury. Lipoxygenase pathway of arachidonic acid metabolism is known to regulate the viability and apoptosis in some cell types, but its role in hepatocyte cell death is not fully understood. We studied the influence of leukotrienes
