The anti-inflammatory effects of apigenin and genistein on the rat intestinal epithelial (IEC-6) cells with TNF-α stimulation in response to heat treatment

The aims of the present study were to investigate the anti-inflammatory function of two flavonoids apigenin and genistein in rat intestinal epithelial (IEC-6) cells stimulated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and to clarify whether the heat treatment of the flavonoids might affect flavonoid ac...

description The aims of the present study were to investigate the anti-inflammatory function of two flavonoids apigenin and genistein in rat intestinal epithelial (IEC-6) cells stimulated by tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and to clarify whether the heat treatment of the flavonoids might affect flavonoid activity. The flavonoids at lower dosage (e.g. 5 μmol/L) had no toxic effect but growth promotion on the cells. Meanwhile, the flavonoid pretreatment of the cells before TNF-α stimulation could maintain cellular morphology, decrease the production of prostaglandin E2 and two pro-inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-6, but increase the production of two anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β. Additionally, the flavonoids could block off the nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) p65, and suppress the expression of phosphorylated IκBα and p65 induced by TNF-α. Meanwhile, the NF-κB inhibitor BAY 11–7082 shared a similar function with the flavonoids to mediate the production of IL-6/IL-10. Furthermore, in silico analysis also declared that the flavonoids could interact with the IκBα–NF–κB complex at the binding pockets to yield the binding energies ranging from −31.7 to −34.0 kJ/mol. However, the heated flavonoids were consistently less effective than the unheated counterparts to perform these anti-inflammatory effects. It is thus proposed that both apigenin and genistein have anti-inflammatory potential to the TNF-α-stimulated IEC-6 cells by inactivating the NF-κB pathway, while heat treatment of the flavonoids caused a negative impact on these assessed anti-inflammatory effects.
