Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate Attenuates the Effects of TNF-α in Vascular Endothelial Cells by Causing Ectodomain Shedding of TNF Receptor 1
Background/Aims: We investigated the mechanism underlying anti-tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) effects of epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) in human aortic endothelial cells. Methods: Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) was assessed by Western blot analysis. Cytosolic Ca2+ was measured using Fl...
