Abstract

In previous study, we investigated the mechanism of suppression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) by ergolide, sesquiterpene lactone from Inula Britannica. In this study, the suppression of iNOS and COX-2 by ergolide might be attributed to selective inhibition of NF-$\_$K/B signaling pathways. Here, we investigated the suppressionmechanism of NF-$\_$K/B signaling pathways by ergolide in TPA-stimulated HeLa cells. (omitted)
