Abstract
|
|
|
Cirsium japonicum var. maackii is a traditional Korean wild perennial herb used to treat blood circulation, high blood pressure, inflammation, diabetes, and kidney damage. However, it is not known whether C. japonicum var. maackii directly improves endothelial dysfunction. In this study, the effect of C. japonicum var. maackii (CJE) on tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-¥á-induced vascular inflammation was investigated in vitro using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). As a result, CJE inhibited the production of VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and ROS increased by TNF-¥á in HUVECs. In addition, treatment with CJE attenuated I¥êB phosphorylation and translocation of NF-¥êB to the nucleus. These results suggest that CJE can suppress TNF¥á-induced adhesion molecule expression by blocking NF-¥êB signaling and inhibiting ROS generation. The results of this study show that CJE has the potential to be used to treat and prevent inflammation associated with endothelial cell damage.
