The protective association between dietary flavonoid intake and the risk of dementia has been the focus of yet another study; this one being published...
EGCG, a bioactive phytochemical found in green tea, was found to regulate transforming growth factor β-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) in human rheumatoid arthritis synovial fibroblasts (RASF), indicating that TAK1 regulation may be a therapeutic target in RA. EGCG appears to effectively inhibit TAK1 by blocking its phosphorylation. As a mediator of inflammation, TAK1 is integral to the activation of downstream mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAKPs) in response to receptor stimulation by the inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF). A team of researchers led by Associate Professor Salah-uddin Ahmed of Washington State University College of Pharmacy in Spokane, analyzed the mechanism of TAK1 regulation in a pre-clinical mouse model of human RA. After 10 days of treatment with EGCG, the researchers found a significant reduction in ankle circumference, a measurement used as a surrogate for symptomatic inflammation. Authors stated that they have provided a rationale for targeting RASF TAK1 in RA and identified a unique mechanism through which EGCG inhibits the interaction between signaling molecules important in cytokine signaling, ultimately inhibiting inflammation and tissue destruction in RA.
