Abstract

Previously, anti‑inflammatory properties of 3,4,5‑Trihydroxycinnamic acid (THC) has been reported in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)‑induced RAW264.7 murine macrophage cells and in an LPS‑induced sepsis BALB/c mice animal model. However, the effect of THC on the anti‑allergic effect in mast cells has not been elucidated. The current study aimed to demonstrate the anti‑allergic properties of THC and its underlying mechanism. Rat basophilic leukemia (RBL‑2H3) cells were treated with phorbol‑12‑myristate‑13‑acetate (PMA) and A23187, a calcium ionophore, to be activated. The anti‑allergic effect of THC was determined by measuring cytokine and histamine release. Western blotting was conducted to determine mitogen‑activated protein kinases (MAPKs) activation and nuclear factor‑κB (NF‑κB) translocation. THC significantly suppressed PMA/A23187‑induced tumor necrosis factor α secretion and THC also significantly attenuated degranulation, releasing β‑hexosaminidase and histamine in concentration‑dependent manners. Furthermore, THC significantly attenuated PMA/A23187‑induced cyclooxygenase 2 expression and nuclear translocation of NF‑κB. THC significantly suppressed PMA/A23187‑induced increased phosphorylation of p38 mitogen‑activated protein kinase, phosphorylated (p‑)extracellular signal‑regulated kinase 1/2 and p‑c‑Jun N‑terminal kinase in RBL‑2H3 cells. Overall, the results demonstrated that THC exhibited anti‑allergic action by significantly attenuating degranulation of mast cells through the inhibition of MAPKs/NF‑κB signaling pathway in RBL‑2H3 cells.
