In Vitro | Vanillic acid inhibited lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced phosphorylation of IκB (cytoplasmatic NF-κB inhibitor) in the cytoplasm extract and NF-κB p65 subunit expression in the nuclear extract of macrophages in vitro as determined by Western blot[1]. Vanillic acid treatment reverses the Aβ1-42-induced elevated expression of IKK-β/NF-κB and reduces the activity of IKKβ/NF-κB. Vanillic acid is non-toxic to HT22 cells at all three concentrations (50, 100 and 200 μM); Vanillic acid co-treatment with Aβ1-42 significantly increases (1.5-, 1.9- and 2-fold respectively) cell viability. Aβ1-42 (5 μM) treatment results in a significant increase (1.6-fold) in ROS levels compared with the control cells. In contrast, Vanillic acid treatment at all three different concentrations (50, 100 and 200 μM) reduces (1.1-, 1.3- and 1.4-fold respectively) ROS levels, indicating that Vanillic acid is a potent antioxidant[2]. |
In Vivo | Vanillic acid (30 mg/kg, ip, 1 h) inhibits Carrageenan-induced NF-κB activation. Mice receive Vanillic acid (30 mg/kg, ip) 1 h before ipl injection of Carrageenan (300 μg/paw), and samples of the cutaneous plantar tissues are collected 3 h after stimulus injection. Carrageenan-induced activation of NF-κB is observed by a decrease in the ratio of total NF-κB/p-NF-κB, while treatment with Vanillic acid as well as the control drug Indomethacin (5 mg/kg, ip, diluted in Tris/HCl buffer, 40 min before stimulus) inhibits Carrageenan-induced activation of NF-κB[1]. |
Cell Assay | The viability of HT22 cells is assessed with the MTT assay. Cells are cultured in 96-well plates at a density of 1 × 104 cells per well in 100 μL of Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium (DMEM). After 24 h, the medium is replaced with fresh medium containing Aβ1-42 (5 μM), with three different concentrations (50, 100 and 200 μM) of Vanillic acid either alone or in combination with Aβ1-42 (5 μM), and the cells are incubated for an additional 24 h. The control cells receive only DMEM. Following this, the cells are incubated with MTT solution for another 2-4 h at 37°C. Subsequently, the medium in each well is replaced with DMSO. Finally, the absorbance of the solution in each well at 570 nm is measured using an ApoTox instrument. All experiments are performed independently in triplicate[2]. |
Animal Admin | Mice[1] During the experiments, Male Swiss mice (25-30 g) receive intraperitoneal (3, 10, or 30 mg/kg) treatment with Vanillic acid or vehicle (5% Tween 80 diluted in saline) 1 h before or 24 h after inflammatory stimuli injection[1]. |
