Regulation of inflammation and redox signaling by dietary polyphenols.

چکیده
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play a key role in enhancing the inflammation through the activation of NF-kappaB and AP-1 transcription factors, and nuclear histone acetylation and deacetylation in various inflammatory diseases. Such undesired effects of oxidative stress have been found to be controlled by the antioxidant and/or anti-inflammatory effects of dietary polyphenols such as curcumin (diferuloylmethane, a principal component of turmeric) and resveratrol (a flavonoid found in red wine). The phenolic compounds in fruits, vegetables, tea and wine are mostly derivatives, and/or isomers of flavones, isoflavones, flavonols, catechins, tocopherols, and phenolic acids. Polyphenols modulate important cellular signaling processes such as cellular growth, differentiation and host of other cellular features. In addition, they modulate NF-kappaB activation, chromatin structure, glutathione biosynthesis, nuclear redox factor (Nrf2) activation, scavenge effect of ROS directly or via glutathione peroxidase activity and as a consequence regulate inflammatory genes in macrophages and lung epithelial cells. However, recent data suggest that dietary polyphenols can work as modifiers of signal transduction pathways to elicit their beneficial effects. The effects of polyphenols however, have been reported to be more pronounced in vitro using high concentrations which are not physiological in vivo. This commentary discusses the recent data on dietary polyphenols in the control of signaling and inflammation particularly during oxidative stress, their metabolism and bioavailability.

The effects of dietary flavonoids on the regulation of redox inflammatory networks.
Dietary flavonoids are a large family of polyphenols ubiquitously expressed in plants. Recent evidence show that flavonoids possess several anti-inflammatory activities due to their ability to scavenge reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS and RNS), to inhibit the pro-inflammatory activity of ROS-generating enzymes including cyclooxygenase (COX), lipoxygenase (LOX) and inducible nitric oxid...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic chronic, relapsing inflammation of the bowel which is caused by dysregulation of the mucosal immune system. Polyphenols as the secondary plant metabolites universally present in vegetables and fruits and are the most abundant antioxidants in the human diet. There is evidence demonstrating the beneficial health effects of dietary polyphenols. Thi...
