Abstract:	Andrographolide is the most abundant diterpene lactone in Andrographis paniculata, which is widely used as a traditional medicine in Southeast Asia. Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is an antioxidant enzyme encoded by a stress-responsive gene. HO-1 has been reported to inhibit the expression of adhesion molecules in vascular endothelial cells (EC). Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1) is an inflammatory biomarker that is involved in the adhesion of monocytes to EC. In this study, we investigated the effect of andrographolide on the expression of ICAM-1 induced by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) in EA.hy926 cells and the possible mechanisms involved. Andrographolide (2.5-7.5 microM) inhibited the TNF-alpha-induced expression of ICAM-1 in a dose-dependent manner and resulted in a decrease in HL-60 cell adhesion to EA.hy926 cells (p < 0.05). In parallel, andrographolide significantly induced the expression of HO-1 in a concentration-dependent fashion (p < 0.05). Andrographolide increased the rate of nuclear translocation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2) and induced antioxidant response element-luciferase reporter activity. Transfection with HO-1-specific small interfering RNA knocked down HO-1 expression, and the inhibition of expression of ICAM-1 by andrographolide was significantly reversed. These results suggest that stimulation of Nrf2-dependent HO-1 expression is involved in the suppression of TNF-alpha-induced ICAM-1 expression exerted by andrographolide.
