Kaempferol Blocks the Skin Fibroblastic Interleukin 1β Expression and Cytotoxicity Induced by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate by Suppressing c-Jun N-terminal Kinase.

ABSTRACT: Kaempferol, a bioflavonoid present in fruits and vegetables, has a variety of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacities, but the functional role of kaempferol in oxidative skin dermal damage has yet to be well studied. In this study, we examine the role of kaempferol during the inflammation and cell death caused by 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) in normal human dermal fibroblasts (NHDF). TPA (5 μM) significantly induced cytotoxicity of NHDF, where a robust increase in the interleukin (IL)-1β mRNA among the various pro-inflammatory cytokines. The skin fibroblastic cytotoxicity and IL-1β expression induced by TPA were significantly ameliorated by a treatment with 100 nM of kaempferol. Kaempferol blocked the production of the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsi
