Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Columbianetin on Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Human Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells by Junying Lu, Keyong Fang, Shiji Wang, Lingxin Xiong, Chao Zhang, Zhongmin Liu, Xuewa Guan, Ruipeng Zheng, Guoqiang Wang, Jingtong Zheng, Fang Wang

“…The result showed that CBT effectively suppressed the expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, MCP-1, and IL-1β in a dose-dependent manner and significantly downregulated 19 out of 32 differentially expressed genes, most of which were involved in the NOD1/NF-κB pathway, and also showed that CBT remarkably inhibited LPS-induced NOD1, RIP2, and NF-κB activation. Furthermore, the inhibitory effects of CBT on NOD1/NF-κB pathways were blocked by ML130. …”
