Andrographis paniculata (Ap) is a commonly used herb for traditional medicine in many Southeast Asian countries. In the present study, we investigated the effect of Ap on the expression of the pi class of glutathione S-transferase (GSTP) in rat primary hepatocytes. Hepatocytes were treated with 25 or 50 mu g/mL of ethanol or ethyl acetate extracts of Ap (ApEE or ApEAE) or 10 or 20 mu M andrographolide, which is the major active diterpene lactone of Ap, for 48 h. ApEE, ApEAE, and andrographolide dose-dependently induced GSTP protein and mRNA expression. In a GST activity assay, GST activity was significantly higher in cells treated with the maximum concentrations of ApEE, ApEAE, and andrographolide than in control cells (P < 0.05). The pTA-2713 luciferase reporter construct containing rat GSTP enhancer 1 (GPE1) was transiently transfected into Clone 9 liver cells. Cells treated with ApEE, ApEAE, and andrographolide showed a dose-dependent increase in luciferase activity. GPE1 deletion abolished the induction efficiency of Ap. Also, the induction of GSTP expression by Ap was inhibited by wortmannin, which is an inhibitor of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway. These results indicate that ApEE, ApEAE, and andrographolide induce GSTP expression. This induction is likely related to the PI3K/Akt pathway, and GPE1, an enhancer element in GSTP prom,oter, is essential for the induction. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
