- Abstract
- Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a crucial role in the induction of innate immune response against bacterial and viral infections. TLRs induce downstream signaling via MyD88- and TRIF-dependent pathways. Cardamonin is a naturally occurring chalcone from Alpinia species exhibiting anti-inflammatory effects. However, the principal molecular mechanisms remain unclear. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of cardamonin in TLR signaling pathways. Cardamonin inhibited NF-kappa B activation as well as COX-2 expression induced by TLR agonists. Cardamonin inhibited the activation of IRF3 and the expression of interferon-inducible protein-10 (IP10) induced by TLR3 or TLR4 agonists. Cardamonin also inhibited ligand-independent NF-kappa B activation overexpressed by MyD88, IKK beta, or p65 and IRF3 activation overexpressed by TRIF, TBK1, or IRF3. However, cardamonin had no effect on TBK1 kinase activity in vitro. These results suggest that cardamonin modulates both the MyD88- and TRIF-dependent pathways of TLRs and represents a potentially new anti-inflammatory candidate.
