1 | This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that EGCG was able to inhibit tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced production of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms. | epigallocatechin gallate | C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 | Homo sapiens |
2 | This study was conducted to test the hypothesis that EGCG was able to inhibit tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-induced production of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and investigated the underlying molecular mechanisms. | epigallocatechin gallate | C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 | Homo sapiens |
3 | METHODS: The inhibitory effect of EGCG on TNF-alpha-induced expression of MCP-1 was measured using ELISA and RT-qPCR. | epigallocatechin gallate | C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 | Homo sapiens |
4 | RESULTS: EGCG significantly suppressed the TNF-alpha-induced protein and mRNA expression of MCP-1. | epigallocatechin gallate | C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 | Homo sapiens |
5 | In addition, the 67-kD laminin receptor (67LR) was involved in EGCG-mediated suppression of MCP-1 generation. | epigallocatechin gallate | C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 | Homo sapiens |
6 | CONCLUSION: EGCG suppresses TNF-alpha-induced MCP-1 expression in HUVECs. | epigallocatechin gallate | C-C motif chemokine ligand 2 | Homo sapiens |
