Objective To study the anti-inflammatory effect of andrographolide on inflammation suppression induced by lipopolysaccharide, and explore its mechanism. Methods Cell viability of RAW264.7 cells treated with andrographolide were analyzed by MTT assay. Cell inflammatory model was established with RAW264.7 cells treated with lipopolysaccharide for 24 h prior to incubation of 2.5, 5, 10, and 20 μmol/L andrographolide for 1 h. Anti-oxidative enzymes and iNOS were evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. RAW264.7 cells were treated with andrographolide for 24 h, and Keap1, Nrf2, and HO-1 expression were detected by Western blotting. Nrf2 distribution between cytosome and nucleus were analyzed by immunocytochemistry. Results Compared with the control group, cell survival rate of RAW264.7 cells were decreased treated by andrographolide in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05, 0.01, and 0.001). Andrographolide could significantly inhibit iNOS levels in RAW264.7 cells induced by lipopolysaccharide (P < 0.001), and could increase the levels of related antioxidant enzymes genes HO-1, NQO1 and mRNA. Andrographolide inhibited the expression of Keap1 and increased the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 protein levels. Conclusion Andrographolide can inhibit the inflammatory response induced by lipopolysaccharide, and its mechanism may be related to activation of Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway and regulation of expression levels of antioxidant enzymes HO-1 and NQO1 mRNA.
