Stilbenoids are anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds, with resveratrol being the most investigated molecule in this class. However, the actions of most other stilbenoids are much less studied. This study compares five monomeric (resveratrol, piceatannol, pterostilbene, pinostilbene, and trimethoxy-resveratrol) and two dimeric (dehydro-δ-viniferin and trans-δ-viniferin) stilbenoids for their capability to modulate the production of bacteria-induced cytokines (IL-12, IL-10, and TNF-α), as well as lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS), in murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells. All monomeric species showed dose-dependent inhibition of E. coli-induced IL-12 and TNF-α, whereas only resveratrol and piceatannol inhibited IL-10 production. All monomers, except trimethoxy-resveratrol, inhibited L. acidophilus-induced IL-12, IL-10, and TNF-α production. The dimer dehydro-δ-viniferin remarkably enhanced L. acidophilus-induced IL-12 production. The contrasting effect of resveratrol and dehydro-δ-viniferin on IL-12 production was due, at least in part, to a divergent inactivation of the mitogen-activated protein kinases by the two stilbenoids. Despite having moderate to high total antioxidant activity, dehydro-δ-viniferin was a weak inhibitor of LPS-induced ROS formation. Conversely, resveratrol and piceatannol potently inhibited LPS-induced ROS formation. Methylated monomers showed a decreased antioxidant capacity compared to resveratrol, also depending on the methylation site. In summary, the immune-modulating effect of the stilbenoids depends on both specific structural features of tested compounds and the stimulating bacteria.
