| Abstract | Phytochemicals present in vegetables, fruits, and herbs are believed to reduce the risk of several major diseases including cardiovascular or neurodegenerative disorders. The roots of the fern Helminthostachys zeylanica (L.) Hook. (Ophioglossaceae) have been used for centuries in the treatment of inflammation and as a folk medicine in several countries. The plant has been shown to possess an array of medicinal properties, including antioxidants and anti-inflammatory activities. Moreover, a rising level of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) has been found in blood fluid of these patients suffering from brain inflammatory diseases, which may be considered an inflammatory biomarker in several inflammatory diseases including the central nervous system (CNS) inflammation. Previously, we have demonstrated the signaling mechanisms of bradykinin (BK)-induced MMP-9 expression in brain astrocytes. Herein, we evaluate the effects of H. zeylanica extracts on BK-induced MMP-9 expression in brain astrocytes and its influencing mechanism. The results showed that H. zeylanica extracts, including E0, E1, and E2 significantly reduce MMP-9 induced by BK in brain astrocytes (RBA-1 cells). These H. zeylanica extracts can inhibit BK-stimulated phosphorylation of c-Src, Pyk2, and PKC(α/δ). Moreover, BK-stimulated NADPH oxidase (Nox)-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation has also been attenuated by pretreatment with these extracts, suggesting that the H. zeylanica extracts have an antioxidative activity. We further demonstrated that the H. zeylanica extracts blocked activation of MAPKs (e.g., ERK1/2 and p38 MAPK) by BK. These data indicated that the H. zeylanica extracts may be has anti-inflammatory activity by reducing BK-induced ROS-dependent MMP-9 expression via these related pathways in brain astrocytes. |

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.
