Fig. 7: Nimbolide inhibits TNF-α regulated NF-κB and HDAC-3 protein expression and nuclear translocation.

From: Nimbolide protects against endotoxin-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome by inhibiting TNF-α mediated NF-κB and HDAC-3 nuclear translocation

A549 cells were treated with nimbolide (2.5 µM) for 24 h and stimulated with TNF-α (10 ng/ml) for 30 min. a NF-κB and HDAC-3 protein levels were observed in both cytosolic and nuclear fraction of A549 cells by western blotting. b The confocal analysis was performed to determine the protein expressions of NF-κB and HDAC-3. All the images were captured at ×400 magnification. BEAS-2B cells were transfected with TNF-α and scrambled siRNA and incubated for 24 h. In another set of the experimental group, cells were pre-treated with nimbolide (2.5 µM) for 24 h. Then, cells were stimulated with TNF-α (10 ng/ml) for 30 min except for nimbolide alone (NIM) group (2.5 µM). The expression of TNF-α, NF-κB and HDAC-3 levels were measured by (c) western blotting and (d) confocal analysis. The images were captured at ×400 magnification
