Luteolin: exploring its therapeutic potential and molecular mechanisms in pulmonary diseases by Jialian Lv, Xinyue Song, Zixin Luo, Duoqin Huang, Li Xiao, Kang Zou

“…Luteolin exhibits therapeutic effects on various pulmonary disease models through multiple molecular mechanisms; these include inhibition of activation of the PI3K/Akt-mediated Nuclear Factor kappa-B (NF-κB) and MAPK signaling pathways, as well as the promotion of regulatory T cell (Treg) function and enhancement of alveolar epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) activity (alleviating inflammation and oxidative stress responses). …”

MCL Plays an Anti-Inflammatory Role in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-Induced Immune Response by Inhibiting NF-κB and NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation by Qingwen Zhang, Xinru Jiang, Weigang He, Kailin Wei, Jinxia Sun, Xiangyang Qin, Yuejuan Zheng, Xin Jiang

“…In this experiment, we examined the inhibitory effect of MCL on Mtb-induced inflammatory response in mouse macrophage-like cell line Raw264.7 by downregulating the activation of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) and NLRP3 inflammasome. Evidences showed that MCL decreased the secretion of Mtb-induced inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β and TNF-α) in a dose-dependent manner. …”

Chitooligosaccharides suppress airway inflammation, fibrosis, and mucus hypersecretion in a house dust mite-induced allergy model by Yun-Ho Kim, Chan-Ho Park, Ju Myung Kim, Yeo Cho Yoon

“…In the HDM-induced allergic respiratory model, COS suppressed the infiltration of inflammatory cells around the airways and inhibited the mRNA expression of Th1 immune cytokines in lung tissues, while also reducing the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB)-related proteins. Furthermore, the results confirmed the suppression of the levels of immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the blood secreted by mast cells activated by HDM, which led to a reduction in allergic mucus hypersecretion and airway sclerosis.ConclusionIn summary, COS are thought to improve airway resistance by alleviating inflammatory allergic respiratory diseases caused by HDM and are regarded as substances that regulate the balance of the Th1 and Th2 immune systems in epithelial cells affected by mucus hypersecretion.…”
