Lonicerin attenuates house dust mite-induced eosinophilic asthma through targeting Src/EGFR signaling
Eosinophilic asthma is the predominant phenotype of asthma, and although these patients are sensitive to glucocorticoid therapy, they also experience many side effects. Lonicerin is a kind of bioflavonoid isolated from the Chinese herb Lonicera japonica Thunb, which has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. The aim of this study was to elucidate the effects of lonicerin on eosinophilic asthma and its potential mechanisms. Here, we established a house dust mite (house dust mite)-induced eosinophilic asthma model in BALB/c mouse, and evaluated the effects of lonicerin on it. Our results showed that lonicerin signif...

The modulatory effects of two bioflavonoids, quercetin and thymoquinone on the expression levels of DNA damage and repair genes in human breast, lung and prostate cancer cell lines
CONCLUSION: We concluded that quercetin and thymoquinone may exert their effects through modulation of DNA damage response, increasing DNA damage, and suppressing DNA repair genes.PMID:36347210 | DOI:10.1016/j.prp.2022.154143 (Source: Pathology, Research and Practice)

Quercetin protects against LPS-induced lung injury in mice via SIRT1-mediated suppression of PKM2 nuclear accumulation
In this study, we established an endotoxin-induced ALI mouse model with an in vitro LPS challenge. We demonstrated that the administration of quercetin could significantly reduce pulmonary injury and decrease the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Moreover, we found that quercetin could inhibit the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by suppressing the nuclear accumulation of PKM2 and increasing SIRT1 levels. Importantly, treatment with SRT1720 (a specific SIRT1 activator) could inhibit the nuclear accumulation of PKM2 and the activation of NLRP3. Besides, preventing PKM2 dimerization with ML265 yielded an anti-inf...
