The Attenuation of 14-3-3ζ is Involved in the Caffeic Acid-Blocked Lipopolysaccharide-Stimulated Inflammatory Response in RAW264.7 Macrophages.
Inflammation 2017 October
Inflammation plays important roles in the initiation and progress of many diseases. Caffeic acid (CaA) is a naturally occurring hydroxycinnamic acid derivative, which shows hypotoxicity and diverse biological functions, including anti-inflammation. The molecular mechanisms involved in the CaA-inhibited inflammatory response are very complex; generally, the down-regulated phosphorylation of such important transcriptional factors, for example, nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) and signal transducers and activators of transcription-3 (STAT-3), plays an important role. Here, we found that in RAW264.7 macrophage cells, CaA blocked lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated inflammatory response by attenuating the expression of 14-3-3ζ (a phosphorylated protein regulator). Briefly, the increased expression of 14-3-3ζ was involved in the LPS-induced inflammatory response. CaA blocked the LPS-elevated 14-3-3ζ via attenuating the LPS-induced tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) secretion and via enhancing the 14-3-3ζ ubiquitination. These processes inhibited the LPS-induced activation (phosphorylation) of NF-κB and STAT-3, in turn blocked the transcriptional activation of inducible NO synthase (iNOS), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and TNF-α, and finally attenuated the productions of nitric oxide (NO), IL-6, and TNF-α. By understanding a novel mechanism whereby CaA inhibited the 14-3-3ζ, our study expanded the understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in the anti-inflammation potential induced by CaA.
