Summary: | Abstract
Given the preventive effect of soy intake against several chronic diseases, this study was conducted to investigate the inhibitory activity of phytoalexins glyceollins derived from soybean isoflavones by treating with biotic elicitor against LPS-induced inflammation in RAW 264.7 cell culture system. Our data showed that glyceollins effectively inhibited NO production, IL-6 release, and COX-2 expression induced by LPS. In particular, glyceollins suppressed the LPS-induced phosphorylation of NF-B p65, suggesting that the compounds inhibit the production of NO and transcriptional activation of COX-2 by regulating NF-B activity. In another experiment we found that glyceollins enhanced the expression of heme oxygenase 1 and repressed the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and p38 but not JNK in LPS-treated RAW 264.7 cells. Glyceollins also reduced TPA-induced skin inflammation in mouse model, confirming the anti-inflammatory activity of glyceollins in vivo system as well as cell culture system. Taken together, glyceollins merit further study as potential therapeutic agents for inflammatory disorders.
