Zerumbone, an anti‐inflammatory phytochemical, induces expression of proinflammatory cytokine genes in human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines
1 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Zerumbone, a sesquiterpene occurring in zingiberaceous plants in Southeast Asian countries, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in several independent experimental studies. We examined its effect on the expression of proinflammatory genes in human colon adenocarcinoma cell lines, Caco-2, Colo320DM, and HT-29, using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assays. Surprisingly,...
