چکیده
D-Galactosamine (GalN) induces acute hepatitis in experimental animals; this hepatitis has been shown to be suppressed by oral or intraperitoneal administration of modified arabinoxylan from rice bran (MGN-3), and active low molecular fraction isolated from MGN-3 (LMW). We previously reported that this protective mechanism is mediated in part by downregulation of interleukin-18 (IL-18). The present study shows for the first time that nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and CD14 are involved in the suppressive action of LMW on GalN-induced hepatitis. Wistar rats (aged 4 weeks, SLC) were intraperitoneally treated with either MGN-3 or LMW. Then, rats were given GalN at 400mg/kg at 1h after the initial treatment. The serum activity of transaminases (ALT and AST) was significantly higher after GalN treatment; these changes were attenuated by MGN-3 and LMW. Furthermore, LMW abrogated inhibitor of κB kinase (IκB) degradation induced by GalN, and this was associated with the inhibition of NF-κB activation. Moreover, phosphorylated stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) protein expression in the liver after GalN treatment was significantly higher, and LMW reduced this increase. We also found that GalN treatment induced TLR4 and CD14 mRNA expression, and LMW significantly inhibited CD14 mRNA expression. These results suggest that the suppressive effects of LMW on GalN-induced hepatitis are possibly related to inhibition of NF-κB, JNK phosphorylation and CD14 expression.

We investigated in this study the effect of modified arabinoxylan from rice bran (MGN-3) and its fractions on D-galactosamine (D-GalN)-induced IL-18 expression and hepatitis in rats. Male Wistar rats were pretreated with MGN-3 or fractions of the MGN-3 hydrolysate, or with saline 1 h before administering D-GalN (400 mg/kg B.W.). The serum transaminase activities, IL-18 mRNA expression level in ...

The present study was carried out to investigate the synergistic apoptotic potential of arabinoxylan rice bran (MGN-3/Biobran) and curcumin (turmeric) on human multiple myeloma (MM) cell line U266 , in vitro. U266 cells were cultured with MGN-3 (50 or 100μg/ml) and curcumin (2.5-10μM) for 3 days. The effects of MGN-3 and curcumin on the growth and survival of the U266 cells were determined by t...

Objective(s): Aberrant expression of CCL5 has been found in several kinds of inflammatory diseases, and the roles of CCL5 in these diseases have also been reported. However, the role of CCL5 in infantile pneumonia is still unclear. Thus, the function and acting mechanism of CCL5 in the in vitro model of infantile pneumonia were researched in this study. Materials and Methods: Human fetal lung f...
