Pterostilbene 4'-?-Glucoside Attenuates LPS-Induced Acute Lung Injury via Induction of Heme Oxygenase-1.

ABSTRACT: Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) can exert anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Acute lung injury (ALI) is associated with increased inflammation and influx of proinflammatory cells and mediators in the airspaces and lung parenchyma. In this study, we demonstrate that pterostilbene 4'-?-glucoside (4-PG), the glycosylated form of the antioxidant pterostilbene (PTER), can protect against lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) or Pseudomonas aeruginosa- (P. aeruginosa-) induced ALI when applied as a pretreatment or therapeutic post-treatment, via the induction of HO-1. To determine whether HO-1 mediates the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of 4-PG, we subjected mice genetically deficient in Hmox-1 to LPS-induced ALI and evaluated histological changes, HO-1 expression, and proinflammatory cytokine levels in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. 4-PG exhibited protective effects on LPS- or P. aeruginosa-induced ALI by ameliorating pathological changes in lung tissue and decreasing proinflammatory cytokines. In addition, HO-1 expression was significantly increased by 4-PG in cells and in mouse lung tissues. The glycosylated form of pterostilbene (4-PG) was more effective than PTER in inducing HO-1 expression. Genetic deletion of Hmox-1 abolished the protective effects of 4-PG against LPS-induced inflammatory responses. Furthermore, we found that 4-PG decreased both intracellular ROS levels and mitochondrial (mt) ROS production in a manner dependent on HO-1. Pharmacological application of the HO-1 reaction product carbon monoxide (CO), but not biliverdin or iron, conferred protection in Hmox-1-deficient macrophages. Taken together, these results demonstrate that 4-PG can increase HO-1 expression, which plays a critical role in ameliorating intracellular and mitochondrial ROS production, as well as in downregulating inflammatory responses induced by LPS. Therefore, these findings strongly suggest that HO-1 mediates the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of 4-PG.

Project description:BackgroundSilicosis, a progressive inflammatory lung disease attributed mainly to occupational exposure to silica dust, shows loss of lung function even after cessation of exposure. In addition to conventional evaluation methods such as chest X-ray, computed tomography, and spirometry, we identified heme oxygenase (HO)-1, an inducible antioxidant, as a potential biomarker to identify at-risk patients. We found that HO-1 was critical in attenuating the disease progression of silicosis; however, the key signaling pathway has not yet been elucidated. Here, we report the critical pathway after silica exposure, focusing on the role of silica-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) signaling and its attenuation, which is mediated by HO-1 induction, in vivo and in vitro.MethodsNormal bronchial epithelial cells and a macrophage cell line, as well as a murine silicosis model generated by intratracheal administration of 2.5 mg of crystalline silica, were used in this study. The pathways activated in response to silica exposure, including the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway, were examined and compared with or without super-induction of HO-1.ResultsThe murine silicosis model was first assessed for the evaluation of activated pathways after silica exposure, focusing on ROS-MAPK activation. In the murine model, increased expression of HO-1 in the lungs was observed after silica-instillation. Moreover, silica-medicated activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in the lungs was attenuated in response to silica-induced HO-1 upregulation. Activation of other MAPKs, such as p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathways, after silica exposure was not significantly different irrespective of HO-1 induction. Further in vitro studies showed that 1) silica-induced HO-1 was significantly attenuated by inhibiting ERK activation, and 2) carbon monoxide and bilirubin as final byproducts of HO-1 could inhibit ERK activation. Taken together, silica-induced HO-1 upregulation was mediated by ERK activation, and HO-1 further regulates ERK activation via its final byproducts, carbon monoxide and bilirubin.ConclusionsThis is the first study to demonstrate the regulatory role of HO-1 in silicosis. This finding could contribute to the development of a treatment strategy of monitoring HO-1 levels as a marker of therapeutic intervention.
