Despite its deleterious effects on living cells, oxidative stress plays essential roles in normal physiological processes and provides signaling molecules for cell growth, differentiation, and inflammation. Macrophages are equipped with antioxidant mechanisms to cope with intracellular ROS produced during immune response, and Nrf2 (NF-E2-related factor 2)/HO-1 (heme oxygenase-1) pathway is an attractive target due to its protective effect against ROS-induced cell damage in inflamed macrophages. We investigated the effects of ethanol extract of A. villosum (AVEE) on lipopolysaccharide- (LPS-) stimulated inflammatory responses generated via the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in murine peritoneal macrophages and RAW 264.7 cells. AVEE was found to suppress the NF-κB signaling pathway, thus, to reduce proinflammatory cytokine, nitric oxide, and prostaglandin levels in peritoneal macrophages and Raw 264.7 cells treated with LPS, and to enhance HO-1 expression by activating Nrf2 signaling. Furthermore, these anti-inflammatory effects of AVEE were diminished when cells were pretreated with SnPP (a HO-1 inhibitor). HPLC analysis revealed AVEE contained quercetin, a possible activator of the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway. These results show A. villosum ethanol extract exerts anti-inflammatory effects by activating the Nrf2/HO-1 pathway in LPS-stimulated macrophages.
