Calycosin suppresses expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines via the activation of p62/Nrf2-linked heme oxygenase 1 in rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts.

Pharmacol Res

State Key Laboratory of Quality Research in Chinese Medicine/Macau Institute for Applied Research in Medicine and Health, Macau University of Science and Technology, Macau, China. Electronic address:

The activation of synovial fibroblasts (SFs) and the subsequent production and expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines play a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In the current study, rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASFs) isolated from the joint of the patients were used to evaluate the suppressive effects of calycosin (CAL), a compound derived from the Chinese medicinal herb Radix Astragali, on the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in RASFs. The results demonstrated that increased mRNA expression levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), interleukin-25 (IL-25), interleukin-33(IL-33) were significantly inhibited by CAL.

BF-389, dihydro-4-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzylidene)-2-methyl-2H-1,2- oxazin-3(4H)-one, is a potent, orally active, antiarthritic and analgesic agent with low ulcerogenic potential. A comparison of the activity profiles of BF-389 and naproxen showed similarities in: (1) suppression of developing and chronic adjuvant arthritis (AA); (2) maximal inhibitory response, as shown by the E(max) values in the developing and established AA models; (3) inhibition of bone degenerative changes associated with chronic adjuvant arthritis; and (4) analgesic activity in the acetic acid and phenylquinone writhing assays. Though BF-389 has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of cyclooxygenase, IC50 = 0.
