Resumo

The Nrf2/ARE pathway plays a pivotal role in chemoprevention and neuroprotection. Here, we report that sesquiterpene lactones extracted from Calea urticifolia and feverfew increased enhancer activity of the ARE. ARE activation was dependent on the number of alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyl groups each compound bears and calealactone A (CL-A) harboring 3 of those was the most potent ARE inducer. At subtoxic doses, CL-A induced expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) gene, one of ARE target genes, through activation of the Nrf2/ARE pathway involving transient ROS generation and activation of PI3-K/Akt and MAPK pathways. Interestingly, H(2)O(2)-induced ARE activation and HO-1 induction were potentiated by pretreatment with CL-A at lower concentrations, at which Nrf2/ARE activation by the compound was minimal. These results suggest a possibility that preconditioning by sesquiterpene lactone may enhance activation of the Nrf2/ARE pathway and induction of phase II detoxification/antioxidant enzymes upon oxidative stress, thereby resulting in increased resistance to oxidative damage.
