| Abstract |
Ferulic acid (FA) is a phenol compound found in plants that has anti-inflammatory properties. Indoleamine 2, 3-dioxygenase (IDO) is a tryptophan catabolic enzyme induced in immune cells, including glial cells, during inflammation. Enhanced IDO expression leads to reduced tryptophan levels and increased levels of toxic metabolites, including quinolinic acid. Therefore, inhibition of IDO expression may be effective in suppressing progression of neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, we examined the effect of FA in microglial cells on IDO expression levels and related inflammatory signal molecules. FA suppressed LPS-induced IDO mRNA expression and also suppressed nuclear translocation of NF-κB and phosphorylation of p38 MAPK. However, FA did not affect the production of LPS-induced inflammatory mediators and phosphorylation of JNK. Our results indicate that FA suppresses LPS-induced IDO mRNA expression, which may be mediated by inhibition of the NF-κB and p38 MAPK pathways in microglial cells.
