Flavonoids on TLR gene and protein expression in in vitro studies.

Flavonoid Dose Duration 1 TLR 2 Studied Target Cell (Challenge) Reference
FLAVONOLS Engeletin 10/50 μM 2 h ↓ TLR4 mRNA J774 macrophages (LPS) [53]
Astilbin ↓ TLR4 mRNA
Kaempferol-3-O-sophoroside 6 h ↓ TLR2 Protein Endothelial cells [54]
↓ TLR4
Quercetin 25 μM 1 h ↓ TLR2 Protein PBMC [55]
↓ TLR4
FLAVANONES Naringenin 1 μg/mL 48 h ↓ TLR2 Protein/mRNA J774 macrophages (C. trachomatis) [56]
↓ TLR4 mRNA
Naringenin 100 μM ↓ TLR2 mRNA 3T3L1 cells (adipocyte differentiation) [57]
FLAVANOLS Epigallocatechin-3-gallate 1 μM 24 h ↓ TLR4 Protein/mRNA RAW 264.7 macrophages (LPS) [58]
Epigallocatechin-3-gallate 10 μM 24 h ↔ TLR4 mRNA Murine bone marrow-derived DCs (unstimulated) [59]
FLAVONES Baicalin 40/80 μM 24 + 3 h ↔ TLR1-9 mRNA Human oral keraynocytes (LPS) [60]
Baicalin 5/10 μg/mL 0.5–6 h ↓ TLR2 Protein/mRNA PC12 and primary rat neurons (oxygen glucose deprivation) [61]
↓ TLR4 Protein/mRNA

Notes: 1 Treatment duration is showed when detailed in the article, if it is not provided a (–) is showed; 2 Changes in gene expression are summarized by means of an increase (↑), decrease (↓) or not affected (↔) by the intervention.
