Abstract

Mannasantin B, a dilignan structurally related to manssantin A, is an inhibitor of NF-${\kappa}B$ transactivation. In the present study, we found that it inhibited PMA-induced expression of IL-$1{\beta}$, IL-$1{\beta}$ mRNA, and IL-$1{\beta}$ promoter activity in U937 cells with $IC_{50}$ values of about 50 nM. It also inhibited NF-IL6- and NF-${\kappa}B$-induced activation of IL-$1{\beta}$, with $IC_{50}$ values of 78 nM and $1.6{\mu}M$, respectively, revealing a potent inhibitory effect on NF-IL6. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that manassantin B had an inhibitory effect on DNA binding by NF-IL6, but not by NF-${\kappa}B$. Further analysis revealed that transactivation by NF-IL6 was also inhibited. Our results indicate that manassantin B suppresses expression of IL-$1{\beta}$ in promonocytic cells by inhibiting not only NF-${\kappa}B$ but also NF-IL6 activity. Furthermore, our observations suggest that manassantin B may be clinically useful as a potent inhibitor of NF-IL6 activity.
