Luteolin Protects HUVECs from TNF-α-induced Oxidative Stress and Inflammation via its Effects on the Nox4/ROS-NF-κB and MAPK Pathways

Abstract: Aim: Inflammation and oxidative stress are now recognized to be two important contributing factors to the development of atherosclerosis (AS). NADPH oxidase-4 (Nox4)-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS), NF-κB and MAPK play crucial roles in these processes. Luteolin, a flavone rich in many plants, can interrupt the molecular expression and inhibit the progression of inflammation and oxidative stress. The present study was designed to test whether luteolin inhibits TNF-α-induced inflammation and oxidative stre… Show more

“…Several reports indicate that Nox4 has a protective function in distinct pathological conditions, for example obesity, pulmonary arterial hypertension, kidney fibrosis and myocardial infarction 14, 46-49 . Conversely, other articles suggest that Nox4 induces apoptosis, especially in cancer cells, endothelial cells and cardiac myocytes 45, 48, 50, 51 . Nox4 exerts these effects by inactivating the protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP1B) and enhancing vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2) and mTOR signaling, as well as by regulating endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) expression, phosphorylation of members of the Bcl-2 family and mitochondrial oxidative stress.…”

“…NADPH oxidase plays a key role in ROS generation and Nox4 is the most abundant Nox isoform in the vasculature and p22phox is a modulatory subunit for NADPH oxidase (Xia et al, 2014), thus the effects of RDNP on H 2 O 2 -induced Nox4 and p22phox mRNA and protein expressions in HUVECs were examined. Both Nox4 and p22phox mRNA in H 2 O 2 group increased obviously.…”
