Enzyme-Treated Asparagus Extract Prevents'Hydrogen Peroxide-Induced Pro-Inflammatory Responses by Suppressing p65 Nuclear Translocation in Skin L929 Fibroblasts. Nat Prod Commun. 2016 Dec;11(12):1883-1888 Authors: Shirato K, Takanari J, Sakurai T, Ogasawara J, Imaizumi K, Ohno H Abstract We recently reported that enzyme-treated asparagus extract (ETAS) attenuates hydrogen peroxide (H(2)0(2))-stimulated matrix metalloproteinase-9 expression in skin fibroblast L929 cells. To further elucidate the anti-aging effects of ETAS on skin, we examined whether ETAS has preventive effects on H202-induced pro-inflammatory responses of skin fibroblasts. H(2)0(2) induced Ser536 phosphorylation and nuclear accumulation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65, and increased the mRNA levels .of interleukin-12α (IL-12α)-and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in L929 cells. Pretreatment of the cells with JSH-23, an inhibitor of NF-κB nuclear translocation, abolished the H(2)(0(2)-induced expression of IL-12α and iNOS, indicating that the increased transcription is regulated by p65. The H(2)0(2)-stimulated nuclear accumulation of p65 and-induction of IL12a and iNOS mRNA were significantly attenuated after pretreatment with ETAS for 3 h, and these responses were completely abolished when the duration was extended to 24 h. However, ETAS did not affect the H(2)0(2)-stimulated degradation of IκBα and phosphorylation of p65. On the other hand, ETAS treat...
