Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of hesperetin in regulating interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-induced production of the matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-3 and IL-6 in human synovial cell line, SW982. Treatment with hesperetin at 1 or 10 microM significantly (P<0.05) inhibited IL-1beta-induced MMP-3 and IL-6 production when measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The effects of hesperetin on the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) were also examined in SW982 cells by ELISA assay. IL-1beta-induced JNK activation was inhibited by hesperetin. These results suggest that hesperetin reduces the production of MMP and IL-6 in SW982 synovial cells by inhibiting JNK. 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.Entities:
