Andrographis paniculata Nees is used as a functional food in Japan, Korea, India, and China. Andrographolide, a naturally occurring phytochemical identified in Andrographis paniculata, has been discovered to present anti-inflammatory and anticancer activities. Highly expressed interleukin (IL-8) has been detected in colorectal cancer and is implicated in angiogenesis. However, the effect and molecular mechanisms of IL-8 expression by andrographolide remain obscure in human colorectal cancer cells. The present study was aimed to investigate the effects of andrographolide on TNF-α-induced IL-8 expression and its underlying mechanisms. We found that andrographolide concentration-dependently inhibited TNF-α-induced IL-8 mRNA (2.23 ± 0.15 fold at 20 μM) and protein expression (4.78 ± 0.31 fold at 20 μM) and reduced the IL-8 transcriptional activity (2.59 ± 0.25 fold at 20 μM). TNF-α stimulated the membrane translocation of p47 to activate reactive oxygen species (ROS)-producing NADPH oxidase (NOX). Furthermore, TNF-α induced Src and MAPKs (Erk1/2, p38 MAPK) phosphorylation, as well as NF-κB and AP-1 binding activities. We found that NF-κB and AP-1 were the critical transcription factors for TNF-α-induced IL-8 expression. Specific inhibitors and mutagenesis studies indicated that Src, Erk1/2, and p38 MAPK are related to TNF-α-induced IL-8. NOX-derived ROS and Src/MAPKs (Erk1/2 and p38 MAPK) functioned as upstream activators of NF-κB and AP-1, respectively. Taken together, andrographolide antagonizes TNF-α-induced IL-8 via inhibition of NADPH oxidase/ROS/NF-κB and Src/MAPKs/AP-1 signaling pathways in HCT116 colorectal cancer cells and then suppresses angiogenesis in the tumor microenvironment.
穿心莲在日本、韩国、印度和中国被用作功能性食品。已发现穿心莲中的天然植物化学物质穿心莲内酯具有抗炎和抗癌活性。在结直肠癌中检测到高度表达的白细胞介素(IL-8),并与血管生成有关。然而,穿心莲内酯对人结直肠癌细胞中 IL-8 表达的影响及其分子机制尚不清楚。本研究旨在探讨穿心莲内酯对 TNF-α诱导的 IL-8 表达的影响及其潜在机制。我们发现,穿心莲内酯浓度依赖性地抑制 TNF-α诱导的 IL-8 mRNA(20μM 时为 2.23±0.15 倍)和蛋白表达(20μM 时为 4.78±0.31 倍),并降低 IL-8 转录活性(20μM 时为 2.59±0.25 倍)。TNF-α刺激 p47 膜易位以激活产生活性氧(ROS)的 NADPH 氧化酶(NOX)。此外,TNF-α诱导Src 和 MAPKs(Erk1/2、p38 MAPK)磷酸化以及 NF-κB 和 AP-1 结合活性。我们发现 NF-κB 和 AP-1 是 TNF-α诱导的 IL-8 表达的关键转录因子。特异性抑制剂和突变研究表明,Src、Erk1/2 和 p38 MAPK 与 TNF-α诱导的 IL-8 有关。NOX 衍生的 ROS 和 Src/MAPKs(Erk1/2 和 p38 MAPK)分别作为 NF-κB 和 AP-1 的上游激活物。综上所述,穿心莲内酯通过抑制 NADPH 氧化酶/ROS/NF-κB 和 Src/MAPKs/AP-1 信号通路拮抗 HCT116 结直肠癌细胞中 TNF-α诱导的 IL-8,从而抑制肿瘤微环境中的血管生成。
