Formononetin Attenuates IL-1β-Induced Apoptosis and NF-κB Activation in INS-1 Cells

Abstract: Several studies suggest that the inflammation plays a role in the pathogenesis of some glucose disorders in adults. Exposure of pancreatic β-cells to cytokines, such as interleukin-1β (IL-1β), is thought to contribute to β-cell apoptosis. One important event triggered by IL-1β is induction of nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), an enzyme that catalyzes intracellular generation of the cytotoxic free radical NO. Recent work have suggested that formononetin, as an O-methylated isoflavone found in a number of plants and… Show more

“…For example, formononetin reduced the action of IL-1β and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) in vitro (Wang et al, 2012). Also, the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities of formononetin promoted neuron and lung protective effects in vivo, by means of decreasing the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 and…”

“…Up to now, all available information regarding the role and regulation of cytokine-mediated NF-κB activation in beta cells has focused on the canonical pathway [2,[16][17][18]. However, crosstalk between the canonical and non-canonical pathways might exist [13,19].…”
