Andrographis paniculata, a traditional Chinese medicine, has been used as a functional food in Asia. Andrographolide, a compound isolated from Andrographis paniculata, has potent anticancer activity. In this study, researchers found that Andro induced cell death in multiple myeloma (MM) cells through a type of cell death called ferroptosis, and this mechanism may provide a potential preventative and therapeutic approach for MM.
Andrographis paniculata is used as a functional food in Asia. Andrographolide (Andro), a diterpene lactone isolated from Andrographis paniculata, has been reported to have potent anticancer activity. Multiple myeloma (MM), the second most common malignant tumor in hematology, is incurable. Ferroptosis, a type of cell death driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, has shown potential in the treatment of various cancers. However, previous studies have not demonstrated whether Andro inhibits the development of MM via ferroptosis or any other mechanism. In the present study, we observed that Andro induced cell death, G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and evoked oxidative stress in MM cells. Interestingly, these phenomena were accompanied by increases in intracellular and mitochondrial Fe2+ and lipid peroxidation levels. Furthermore, treatment with ferroptosis inhibitors rescued Andro-induced cell death, which indicated that ferroptosis contributed to this phenomenon. Mechanistic examination showed that Andro may block the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway by activating P38, thereby inducing ferroptosis. Moreover, inhibition of P38 expression rescued Andro-induced cell death, changes in the level of Nrf2 and HO-1 expression, Fe2+ and lipid peroxidation. Taken together, our findings suggest that Andro induces ferroptosis in MM cells via the P38/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway, providing a potential preventative and therapeutic approach for MM.
