BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Corticosteroid resistance poses a major barrier to an effective anti-inflammatory therapy for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The present study aimed to investigate potential corticosteroid re-sensitization actions of andrographolide, a bioactive molecule from the herb Andrographis paniculata, in COPD models, particularly in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from COPD patients.
EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH: Corticosteroid sensitivity in PBMCs collected from COPD patients, or in human monocytic U937 cells exposed to cigarette smoke extract (CSE), was determined by measuring LPS-induced IL-8 production, in the presence and absence of andrographolide. The mechanisms of corticosteroid re-sensitization action of andrographolide were evaluated in a mouse cigarette smoke (CS)-induced acute lung injury model.
KEY RESULTS: Impaired inhibition of IL-8 production by dexamethasone was detected in PBMCs from COPD patients and in CSE-exposed U937 cells, together with reduced levels of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and histone deacetylase-2 (HDAC2). In both PBMCs and CSE-exposed U937 cells, andrographolide restored dexamethasone inhibition of IL-8 production, accompanied by the up-regulation of Nrf2 and HDAC2 levels. In the U937 cells, andrographolide was able to block CSE-induced Akt and reduce the level of c-Jun. Besides, andrographolide also augmented dexamethasone actions on lowering total and neutrophil counts, cytokine levels, and oxidative damage markers in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from CS-exposed mice.
CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS: We report here for the first time a novel corticosteroid re-sensitization property of andrographolide in human PBMCs and provide mechanistic evidence to support clinical evaluation of andrographolide in reversing steroid resistance in COPD.
