| Abstract | Fisetin, a flavonol, has been known as an anti-allergic agent having inhibitory effects on T helper 2 cytokine gene expression in inflammatory immune cells. However, its molecular mechanisms for suppressive effects of fisetin on interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 in activated mast cells and basophils have been incompletely understood. In this study we found that fisetin at the concentrations having no effect on cell viability significantly inhibited the phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and ionomycin induced production of IL-4 and IL-13 in bone marrow-derived mast cells and RBL-2H3 basophilic cells. The levels of mRNA were dramatically decreased by fisetin, indicating the suppression might be regulated at the transcriptional levels. Transient transfection experiments using luciferase reporter plasmids expressing IL-4 or IL-13 promoter revealed that fisetin inhibited the activation of the promoters in a dose-dependent manner. Western blot analysis of the nuclear expression of various transcription factors involved in the promoter activation indicated that suppressions of c- Fos and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha were prominent together with significant downregulations of nuclear factor of activated T cell (NF-AT) and NF-κB. Furthermore, nuclear expression of GATA-1 and GATA-2, and the mRNA expression were significantly down regulated by fisetin, whereas cyclosporine A had no significant effects on GATA transcription factors. Taken together, fisetin has suppressive effects on IL-4 and IL-13 gene expressions through the regulation of selective transcription factors. |

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.
