Resveratrol inhibits matrix metalloproteinase-1 and -3 expression by suppressing of p300/NFκB acetylation in TNF-α-treated human dermal fibroblasts.

The aim of this study was to explore the signaling pathways associated with the effects of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) on matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and MMP-3 expression in the human dermal fibroblast cell line CCD-966SK. TNF-α upregulated MMP-1 and MMP-3 mRNA and protein expression, and NFκB/p65 activation was found to be involved in TNF-α-induced MMP-1 and MMP-3 upregulation. TNF-α induced p65 phosphorylation at Ser536 and acetylation at Lys310.
