“…HO-1 gene expression has been shown to be regulated at the transcriptional level and enhanced by Nrf2 nuclear translocation [12,13,14], resulting from the activation of various signal transduction pathways, including extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and protein kinase B (PKB, Akt). HO-1 pla ys an important role in cytoprotection against oxidative damage [15,16,17]. In addition, HO-1 provides cytoprotection against ROS in the skin [18,19].…”

In this study, we aimed to illustrate the potential bio-effects of 3-bromo-4,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (3-BDB) on the antioxidant/cytoprotective enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in keratinocytes. The antioxidant effects of 3-BDB were examined via reverse transcription PCR, Western blotting, HO-1 activity assay, and immunocytochemistry. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis was performed to test for nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) binding to the antioxidant response element of the HO-1 promoter. Furthermore, the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay showed that the cytoprotective effects of 3-BDB were mediated by the activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) and protein kinase B (PKB, Akt) signaling. Moreover, 3-BDB induced the phosphorylation of ERK and Akt, while inhibitors of ERK and Akt abrogated the 3-BDB-enhanced levels of HO-1 and Nrf2. Finally, 3-BDB protected cells from H2O2- and UVB-induced oxidative damage. This 3-BDB-mediated cytoprotection was suppressed by inhibitors of HO-1, ERK, and Akt. The present results indicate that 3-BDB activated Nrf2 signaling cascades in keratinocytes, which was mediated by ERK and Akt, upregulated HO-1, and induced cytoprotective effects against oxidative stress.

“…It has previously been indicated that antioxidants may exhibit their antioxidant activity not by directly scavenging intracellular oxidants, but by inducing the endogenous antioxidant defense system (30). Activation of the antioxidant system is known to serve a significant role in cellular defense against oxidative impacts; detoxifying enzymes, including HO-1 and NQO1, which are regulated by Nrf2, are important parts of the system (4).…”

Cytoprotective effects of diosmetin against hydrogen peroxide-induced L02 cell oxidative damage via activation of the Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway

Oxidative stress is considered a crucial mediator in the pathogenesis of various liver diseases. The flavone diosmetin has been reported to exhibit antioxidant activities; however, the hepatoprotective effects of diosmetin against oxidative stress, and the underlying molecular mechanisms, remain unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the potential hepatoprotective effects of diosmetin on hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)‑induced oxidative damage in L02 cells and attempted to evaluate the role of the nuclear factor erythroid 2‑related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant response element pathway in this process. L02 cells were divided into groups: Control (DMSO, diosmetin), H2O2, Trolox or tertiary butylhydroquinone and diosmetin (different doses). Protective effects in L02 cells were determined by CCK‑8, cell apoptosis and lactate dehydrogenase leakage assays. Flow cytometry and inverted fluorescence microscope were used to measure the intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP). Protein expression levels were of Nrf2, heme oxygenase‑1 (HO‑1) and NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase‑1 (NQO1) were determined by western blotting and mRNA levels were determined by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The results revealed that H2O2 induced notable injury to L02 cells, as demonstrated by decreased cell viability, increased lactate dehydrogenase release, apoptotic rate and intracellular ROS production, and by the loss of MMP. Conversely, diosmetin (20‑40 µM) significantly reversed the damaging effects of H2O2, which indicated that diosmetin may exhibit potent hepatoprotective potential against H2O2‑induced oxidative damage. Furthermore, pretreatment with diosmetin elevated mRNA and protein expression levels of Nrf2, HO‑1 and NQO1. The present study is the first, to the best of our knowledge, to demonstrate that activation of the Nrf2/NQO1‑HO‑1 signaling pathway maybe involved in the cytoprotective effects of diosmetin against oxidative stress. Therefore, diosmetin may be considered a promising therapeutic agent for the treatment of various liver diseases associated with oxidative stress.

“…HO-1 is an antioxidant and phase II detoxification enzyme that plays an important role in maintaining antioxidant homeostasis. It is present in most cells and tissues and is a key molecule for the adaptive cellular response in oxidative stress conditions [ 33 , 41 ]. Our results indicated that MCEE pretreatment positively affected the maintenance of antioxidant homeostasis through the upregulation of HO-1.…”

Momordica charantia Ethanol Extract Attenuates H2O2-Induced Cell Death by Its Antioxidant and Anti-Apoptotic Properties in Human Neuroblastoma SK-N-MC Cells

Oxidative stress, which is induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS), causes cellular damage which contributes to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Momordica charantia (MC), a traditional medicinal plant, is known to have a variety of health benefits, such as antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. However, it is unknown whether MC has protective effects against oxidative stress-induced neuronal cell death. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential action of MC on oxidative stress induced by H2O2. First, we tested whether the pretreatment of Momordica charantia ethanol extract (MCEE) attenuates H2O2-induced cell death in human neuroblastoma SK-N-MC cells. MCEE pretreatment significantly improved cell viability and apoptosis that deteriorated by H2O2. Further, MCEE ameliorated the imbalance between intracellular ROS production and removal through the enhancement of the intracellular antioxidant system. Intriguingly, the inhibition of apoptosis was followed by the blockage of mitochondria-dependent cell death cascades and suppression of the phosphorylation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling (MAPKs) pathway by MCEE. Taken together, MCEE was shown to be effective in protecting against H2O2-induced cell death through its antioxidant and anti-apoptotic properties.
