However, there are few scientific evidence for its anti-inflammatory effects and mechanisms. In inflamed liver, proinflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β stimulate liver cells, followed by the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Excessive levels of NO produced by iNOS have been implicated as one of the factors in liver injury. Thus it is essential to inhibit iNOS induction for the prevention of liver injury. In this study, we examined IL-1β-stimulated hepatocytes as a simple \"in vitro liver injury model\" to investigate liver protective effects of genipin. METHODS Primary cultured rat hepatocytes were treated with IL-1β in the presence or absence of genipin. The induction of NO production and iNOS, and its signaling pathway were analyzed. RESULTS In IL-1β-stimulated hepatocytes, genipin inhibited the production of NO dose- and timedependently, and reduced the levels of iNOS protein and its mRNA expression. Genipin also reduced mRNA expressions of TNF-α and IL-6. Genipin inhibited two essential signaling pathways for iNOS induction, IκB degradation/NF-κB activation and type I IL-1 receptor upregulation. Transfection experiments revealed that genipin decreased the expression of iNOS mRNA through both inhibitions of the promoter activation and mRNA stabilization. Delayed administration of genipin after IL-1β addition also inhibited iNOS induction. CONCLUSION Genipin influenced the induction of inflammatory mediators, iNOS and TNF-α, in part through the inhibition of NF-κB activation in hepatocytes. Genipin may have therapeutic potential for organ injuries including liver.","PeriodicalId":11339,"journal":{"name":"Drug metabolism letters","volume":"10 4 1","pages":"254-263"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68049664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OBJECTIVE Blood spotted onto storage cards and salivary caffeine metabolites were analyzed in 27 healthy non-smoking Japanese volunteers with no prior abstention from dietary caffeine intake. METHODS 1,7-Dimethylxanthine (17X), 17U, 1X, and caffeine levels in spot saliva samples were determined in Japanese non-smokers by high-performance liquid chromatography under normal dietary caffeine consumption. RESULTS 17U/17X ratios in saliva were almost constant over time, but those of 17U/1X were variable in two subjects tested before and 1-2.5 h after caffeine treatment (a cup of black tea). In seven subjects, 17U/17X ratios in saliva were highly correlated with those in plasma (r = 0.98, p < 0.01) and well correlated with those in urine samples (r = 0.78, p < 0.05). The average 17U/17X ratios, but not 17U/1X ratios, in saliva under dietary caffeine consumption obtained from subjects with CYP2A6*1/*4 (n=11) and CYP2A6*4/*4 (whole-gene deletion, n=2) genotypes were significantly lower than those from subjects with wild-type CYP2A6*1/*1 (n=14). Genotyping was done by a multiplex real-time polymerase chain reaction method using blood spotted onto storage cards. CONCLUSION The present results suggest that the decreased CYP2A6 function associated with the whole-gene deletion genotype (determined using blood samples) could be detected using 17U/17X ratios, but not 17U/1X ratios, in spot saliva samples under normal dietary caffeine consumption in Japanese non-smokers, just as it could be detected using urinary 17U/1X ratios.","PeriodicalId":11339,"journal":{"name":"Drug metabolism letters","volume":"10 4 1","pages":"240-243"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68049675","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
