Abstract Background Rho iso-alpha acids RIAA from hops have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties. To understand the mechanisms we evaluated the effect of RIAA in cell signaling pathways and inflammatory markers using various in vitro models. We also investigated their therapeutic effect in mice with collagen-induced arthritis. Methods The LPS-stimulated RAW macrophages were used to evaluate the effect of RIAA on the NF-kB and MAPK signaling pathways phosphorylation of ERKI 2 p38 and JNK was assessed by western blotting and NF-kB binding by electrophoretic mobility shift assays. Effect on the NF-kB activity was evaluated by the luciferase reporter assays in LPS-stimulated RAW cells. GSK-3a p kinase activity was measured in cell-free assays. The inhibitory effect of RIAA on inflammatory
