Workpackage No 5.1 Analysis of the interaction of garlic with mediators of inflammation involved in the molecular mechanism of atherosclerosis
Year 1 and 2 • Influence of „garlic“ on the activation of the • transcription factor NF-kappaB • Influence of „garlic“ on the expression of adhesion • molecules (ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-Selectin) • Influence of „garlic“ on cytokine production in blood cells
Methods Cell models: HUVECs: human umbilical vein endothelial cells HEK 293: human embryonic kidney cell line
Transcription factor NF-kB activation P proinflammatory factors i.e. CAM, Cytokines TNF-a P IkB NF-kB binding activity transactivation activity

Summary No influence on NF-B translocation or activity had: • 1. Garlic constituents • S-allylcysteine • Allyl mercaptan • Diallyl sulfide • Diallyl disulfide • Allylmethyl-sulfoxide • -Glutamylcysteine • 2. Garlic dry powders • Printanor Year 2000 • Morasol Year 2000 • Morado Year 1999 • Printanor Year 2001 • Lichtwer garlic powder

Measurement of adhesion molecules Analysis by FACS (fluorescence activated cell sorting) Fluorochrome-labeled antibodies against Test compound e.g. ICAM-1, VCAM-1, E-Selectin TNF-a ICAM-1 control TNF-a/ 8 h Endothelial cells (HUVECS)
FACS Analysis of E-selectin 104,10 96,68 87,42 95,43 mean fluorescence 3,62 3,62
FACS Analysis of E-selectin 72,03 73,86 73,69 69,15 mean fluorescence 5,67 6,24
Summary of FACS Analysis • No effect on the TNF induced expression of adhesion molecules were found for: • Allyl mercaptan • Diallyl disulfide • S- allylcysteine • Lichtwer garlic powder

Summary • NF-B and NF-B regulated genes are not the main target of garlic • Cytokine – release is modulated by garlic
Outlook • Look at other proinflammatory transcription factor • Chemically characterized material is urgently needed
