Atractylenolide III (1) is the major bioactive component of Atractylodes lancea. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect on the regulation of interleukin (IL)-6 secretion pathway caused by 1. This sesquiterpenoid inhibited the secretion and expression of IL-6 in phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate- and calcium ionophore A23187-stimulated human mast cells (HMC)-1. In addition, 1 inhibited histamine release in stimulated HMC-1 cells. In stimulated HMC-1 cells, 1 suppressed activation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase, C-Jun-N-terminal protein kinase, and nuclear factor-kappa B. In addition, 1 suppressed the activation of caspase-1 and the expression of receptor interacting protein-2. These results provide new insights that atractylenolide III (1) may control immunological reactions by regulating the cellular functions of IL-6 in mast cells.
