Objective To investigate the effects of naringenin on the production of chemokines and its mechanism in human bronchial epithelial (HBE) cells. Methods HBE cells were divided into a control group, a TNF-αgroup, a low-dose naringenin group, a moderate-dose naringenin group and a high-dose naringenin group. The Naringenin groups were incubated with different doses of naringenin (10, 5 and 2.5μmol/L, respectively) for 2 h. Then the naringenin groups and the TNF-αgroup were incubated with TNF-α. After 24 h of incubation, the levels of eotaxin and RANTES were determined by ELISA method, and IκBαdegradtion was detected by Western blot method. After incubated with TNF-αfor 30 min, NF-κB DNA-binding activity was detected by EMSA method. Results Compared with the control group, the levels of eotaxin and RANTES were significantly increased in the HBE cells stimulated with TNF-α. Naringenin had inhibitory effects on the expression of these chemokines. Naringenin abolished IκBαdegradation and reduced the DNA-binding activity of NF-κB. Conclusion Naringenin may inhibit the production of chemokines through inhibiting NF-κB pathway.
