Article Abstract
Background/aims: Resveratrol is a naturally occurring polyphenol phytoestrogen and one of several constituents of red wine thought to be cardioprotective. We investigated the effect of resveratrol on the expression of the atherogenic chemokine, monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP-1).
Methods: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells were stimulated with interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) in the absence or presence of resveratrol. MCP-1 levels were determined by ELISA and MCP-1 mRNA was measured.
Results: Resveratrol (1-100 microM) dose-dependently inhibited IL-1beta-stimulated MCP-1 secretion, with approximately 45% inhibition at 50 microM resveratrol. This was a Gi-protein- and NO-dependent effect. Resveratrol also significantly inhibited MCP-1 gene expression in a Gi-protein-dependent but NO-independent manner. While resveratrol had no effect on MCP-1 mRNA degradation, it inhibited MCP-1 promoter activity and reduced nuclear factor kappaB and activator protein-1 binding activity induced by IL-1beta. Moreover, while hemoxygenase-1 (HO-1) expression was induced by resveratrol in human umbilical vein endothelial cells, neither treatment with the HO-1 inhibitor tin-protoporphyrin IX nor siRNA-directed knockdown of HO-1 had any effect on the inhibition of MCP-1 mRNA or protein secretion by resveratrol.
Conclusion: These data demonstrate an inhibitory effect of resveratrol on MCP-1 synthesis and secretion, mediated via distinct signaling pathways. The inhibition of MCP-1 may represent a novel cardioprotective mechanism of resveratrol.

Neuroinflammation can be triggered by a high-fat/high-fructose diet (HFFD), and CD36 may be an underlying mechanism. Lauric acid (LA), the major fatty acid in coconut oil, and resveratrol, the plant-based polyphenolic compound, may exert anti-inflammatory effects. Therefore, this study investigated the possible effects of LA and resveratrol on diet-induced neuroinflammation and CD36.

Introduction: Methotrexate (MTX) is a widely used anti-metabolite drug in cancer therapy, but its efficacy is often hindered by reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced cellular toxicity. Resveratrol, a natural polyphenol, possesses antioxidant and anticancer properties. Therefore, this in vitro study aimed to investigate the synergistic anti-proliferative and anti-inflammatory effects of MTX and resveratrol in human THP-1 cells.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how different strains of an anaerobic bacterium found in the mouth impact oral cells, especially in relation to oral cancers, using two distinct cancer cell lines from varying stages of a specific type of oral cancer (OSCC).
- Findings show that bacteria adhered more strongly to advanced-stage OSCC cells, triggered responses linked to cancer cell movement and growth, and influenced levels of important proteins that promote cancer progression and blood vessel formation.
- The research highlights that different bacterial strains and host cell types significantly affect how invasive growth occurs in oral cells, suggesting that treatment strategies could be tailored based on these factors.

Article Synopsis
- Tendinopathy is a common age-related condition affecting both human athletes and horses, with the equine superficial digital flexor tendon serving as an excellent model for studying human Achilles tendon injuries.
- Corticosteroids, like dexamethasone, can lead to steroid-induced senescence (SIS) in equine tenocytes, characterized by growth arrest and the upregulation of specific proteins and enzymes, complicating their clinical use.
- Preincubation with resveratrol or the SIRT1 activator SRT1720 can prevent SIS, suggesting potential new therapeutic strategies that may work through mechanisms not solely reliant on SIRT1 activation.

Chronic inflammation in adipose tissue, peripheral organs and some compartments of the brain are among pathogenetic factors in obesity. The use of bioactive compounds with anti-inflammatory and hypolipidemic activity in the composition of specialized products and dietary supplements is considered as an approach in the diet therapy of obesity and related conditions. of the research was to study the effect of a complex supplement containing resveratrol and L-carnitine (RC supplement) on the immunological parameters of inflammation (the profile of cytokines and regulatory proteins) in rats fed a balanced or hypercaloric diet.
