In addition, analysis of downregulated gene enrichment revealed that these genes were significantly or very significantly enriched not only in the cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction pathway but also in the TNF and the NF-κB signalling inflammatory classical pathway. It was mainly through downregulation of genes such as Fn14, CCL2, CCL5, CARD14 and LTB that prevented inflammatory responses while delaying apoptosis. The results of this study provided important information for the molecular mechanism of wound healing of EAE and provided a basis for further development of functional products of raspberry.","PeriodicalId":12300,"journal":{"name":"Food and Agricultural Immunology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42994697","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To understand the molecular role of viridicatol in stabilising mast cells, transcriptomes of viridicatol-treated RBL-2H3 cells were analysed by RNA-sequencing. There were 128 differentially expressed genes in activated RBL-2H3 cells with or without viridicatol treatment. The mast cell activation-related genes were significantly reduced by treatment with viridicatol through RT-qPCR analysis. Moreover, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis indicated that viridicatol was important in mast cell stabilisation by affecting MAPK and JAK-STAT signalling pathways. Additionally, molecular docking and western blot analysis revealed that the phosphorylated JNK, ERK, P38, and STAT6 proteins were inhibited by viridicatol.
