| Abstract | Sea buckthorn has long been used as a functional food to regulate cholesterol, relieve angina, and diminish inflammation. Flavonoids are one of the main active components in sea buckthorn. We investigated the effects of sea buckthorn flavonoid (SF) treatment on two pathways that mediate inflammation, the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways, to explore the anti-inflammatory activity of SFs in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. The LPS-induced over-production of nitric oxide (NO) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was inhibited by SFs through a mechanism related to the modulatory effects of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) genes. Additionally, SFs downregulated the production and mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines including tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1β. Moreover, SFs inhibited the phosphorylation of the p38 and stress-activated protein kinase/jun amino-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) MAPK pathways, and they reduced the nuclear translocation of NF-κB to prevent its activation by blocking the phosphorylation and degradation of inhibitor protein of NF-κB α (IκB-α). Based on these findings, SFs may exert their inhibitory effects on inflammation by regulating the release of inflammatory mediators through the MAPK and NF-κB pathways. SFs highlight the potential benefits of using functional foods with anti-inflammatory actions to combat inflammatory diseases. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
