Abstract

Induction of detoxifying phase II genes by chemopreventive agents represents a coordinated protective response against oxidative stress and neoplastic effects of carcinogens. We have earlier shown that a novel antioxidant from the bamboo leaves constituent 3-O-caffeoyl-1-methylquinic acid (MCGA3) induces heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and protects endothelial cells from ROS-induced endothelial injury. The purpose of this study was to elucidate the induction mechanism of HO-1 and other phase II genes by MCGA3 in human umbilical vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). Using Northern blotting and RT-PCR, we found that treatment of HUVECs with MCGA3 increased, in a dose and time-dependent manner, steady-state mRNA levels of the selected phase II genes including HO-1, ferritin, gamma-glutamylcysteine lygase, glutathione reductase, and glutathione transferase, which were dependent on Nrf2 nuclear translocation. The observed phase II gene induction by MCGA3 was found to be associated with MCGA3-mediated cytoprotective activity, ROS-scavenging potency, and the increase in the cellular levels of both reduced (GSH) and oxidized glutathione (GSSG). Interestingly, exposure to MCGA3 resulted in a decreased ratio of GSH/GSSG, which was negatively rela...Continue Reading
