1 | Ursolic acid suppresses IL-6 induced C-reactive protein expression in HepG2 and protects HUVECs from injury induced by CRP. | ursolic acid | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
2 | OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibitory effects of ursolic acid (UA) on the expression of C-reactive protein (CRP) induced by IL-6 in HepG2 cells and the protective effects on the CRP-induced injury to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). | ursolic acid | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
3 | OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibitory effects of ursolic acid (UA) on the expression of C-reactive protein (CRP) induced by IL-6 in HepG2 cells and the protective effects on the CRP-induced injury to human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). | ursolic acid | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
4 | RESULT: IL-6 can significantly increase CRP protein and mRNA expression in HepG2 cells, and this effect of IL-6 can be decreased by UA (6.25, 12.5, 25 mumol/L) markedly in a dose-dependent manner. | ursolic acid | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
5 | CONCLUSION: UA can reduce the over expression of CRP in HepG2 cells induced by IL-6 and inhibit the increased expression of VCAM-1 and LOX-1 in HUVECs caused by CRP. | ursolic acid | interleukin 6 | Homo sapiens |
