Luteolin, an anti-inflammatory ingredient found in the Chinese herb Folium perillae, can inhibit not only the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-phosphodiesterases (PDEs) activity of neutrophils, but also the expression of lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 in neutrophils, both of which result in a decrease in the adhesion between neutrophils and microvascular endothelial cells. However, the effect of luteolin on the cAMP-PDEs activity and expression of adhesion molecules in endothelial cells are not clear. In the present study, primary rat pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells and a lipopolysaccharide-induced rat acute pneumonia model were used to explore the role of luteolin on cAMP-PDEs activity, expression of adhesion molecules, and leukocyte infiltration. We demonstrate that rat pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells expressed high levels of cAMP-PDEs, specifically PDE4, and further luteolin exhibited dose-dependent inhibition on the activity of cAMP-PDEs or PDE4 in endothelial cells. Luteolin also had a significant inhibitory effect on the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, but not intracellular cell adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 in microvascular endothelial cells. Further, we show that luteolin decreased the levels of soluble ICAM-1 (sICAM-1), but not soluble E-selectin in the serum of rats subjected to acute pneumonia. We also show that luteolin treatment decreased the wet/dry weight ratio of lung tissue and reduced the total number of serum leukocytes in a dose-dependent manner in a rat acute pneumonia model. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that luteolin suppresses inflammation, at least in part, through inhibiting both cAMP-PDEs or PDE4 activity and the expression of VCAM-1 (in vitro) and sICAM-1 (in vivo) in endothelial cells.
