Abstract

Polyphenolic compounds in foods and beverages have beneficial effects on human health. (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) and chlorogenic acid (CGA), a major flavonoid in green tea and a major phenolic acid in coffee, respectively, have potent properties, including antioxidative effects. Our previous study demonstrated that p70 S6 kinase acts as a negative regulator in tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-stimulated interleukin-6 synthesis in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In the present study, the effects of EGCG and CGA on the TNF‑α‑stimulated interleukin‑6 synthesis were investigated in MC3T3‑E1 cells. EGCG and CGA significantly enhanced TNF‑α‑stimulated interleukin‑6 release. In addition, the interleukin‑6 mRNA expression levels induced by TNF‑α were supported by EGCG, as well as CGA. EGCG markedly attenuated the TNF-α-induced phosphorylation of p70 S6 kinase whereas CGA failed to affect the phosphorylation. These results strongly suggest that EGCG and CGA enhance the TNF‑α‑stimulated interleukin-6 synthesis in osteoblasts, and that the amplifying effect of EGCG, but not CGA, is exerted via inhibiting p70 S6 kinase.
