Abstract:
AIM: Effects of isorhapotigenin and resveratrol on interleukin 6 mRNA expression from mouse peritoneal macrophages stimulated with fMLP and A
23187 in succession were explored. METHODS: Interleukin 6 mRNA was semiquantified by RT-PCR. RESULTS: Isorhapotigenin and resveratrol, at the concentrations of 2×10
-6 and 2×10
-5 mol.L
-1, were shown to inhibit interleukin 6 mRNA expression from mouse peritoneal macrophages stimulated with fMLP or A
23187 in succession. CONCLUSION: Inhibition of interleukin 6 mRNA expression may be the mechanism of the interleukin 6 biosynthetic inhibition of isorhapotigenin and resveratrol.
