Abstract
Protective effects of triterpenic acids, asiatic acid (AA), glycyrrhizic acid (GA), or oleanolic acid (OA), for two human bronchial epithelial cells, 16HBE and BEAS-2B cells, against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) induced injury were examined. Cells were pretreated by triterpenic acid at 4 or 8 μmol/L and followed by H2O2 treatment. Results showed that H2O2 significantly upregulated both Bax and cleaved caspase-3 expression, and also downregulated Bcl-2 expression in test cells. AA at these doses retained Bcl-2 expression, but GA and OA only at 8 μmol/L reserved Bcl-2 expression. Test triterpenic acids lowered cleaved caspase-3 expression dose-dependently. H2O2 treatment lowered Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity and mitochondrial membrane potential in cells. Triterpenic acid pretreatments significantly maintained mitochondrial membrane potential and Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase activity. H2O2 enhanced reactive oxygen species, interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and prostaglandin E2 levels in test cells. Three triterpenic acid treatments dose-dependently reversed these changes. H2O2 promoted the protein expression of p47(phox), gp91(phox), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), mitogen-activated protein kinase, and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB). AA, GA, or OA pretr...Continue Reading
