Regulation of P-glycoprotein by Bajijiasu in vitro and in vivo by activating the Nrf2-mediated signalling pathway

Context: Bajijiasu (BJJS), a main bioactive compound from Morinda officinalis F.C. How. (Rubiaceae), is widely administered concomitantly with other drugs for treating male impotence, female infertility, fatigue, chronic rheumatism, depression, etc. Objective: This study investigates the regulation...

Material and methods: HepG2 cells were incubated with BJJS (10, 20 or 40 μM) for 48 h. C57 mice were orally treated with BJJS (25, 50 or 100 mg/kg) for 2 weeks. The protein and mRNA levels of P-gp were measured by using Western blot and real-time PCR, respectively. siNrf2 RNA was used to explore the mediation effects of Nrf2 on the P-gp expression. The efflux activity of P-gp was tested via a flow cytometry. Results: Incubation of HepG2 cells with BJJS at 10, 20, and 40 μM up-regulated the P-gp protein expression by 12.3%, 82.9%, and 134.3%, respectively. Treatment of C57 mice with BJJS at 25, 50 and 100 mg/kg increased the P-gp protein expression by 49.3%, 75.8% and 106.0%, respectively. Incubation of the cells with BJJS at 10, 20 and 40 μM up-regulated the total Nrf2 protein levels by 34.3%, 93.1% and 118.6%, respectively, and also increased the nuclear Nrf2 protein levels by 14.8%, 44.4% and 59.25%, respectively. The total Nrf2 protein levels were increased by 46.3%, 66.5%, and 87.4%, respectively, in the mice exposed to BJJS at 25, 50, and 100 mg/kg. Inhibition of Nrf2 by siRNA diminished the P-gp induction by 25.0%, 33.4%, and 38.7%, respectively, in the cells. In addition, BJJS enhanced the efflux activity of P-gp by 9.6%, 37.1%, and 48.1%, respectively, in the cells. Conclusions: BJJS activates Nrf2 to induce P-gp expression, and enhanced the efflux activity of P-gp. The possibility of potential herb–drug interactions when BJJS is co-administered with other P-gp substrate drugs should be carefully monitored.Xin YangGuoyan HuLijuan LvTing LiuLongkai QiGuozhan HuangDongqing YouJun ZhaoTaylor & Francis Grouparticlemorinda officinalis f.c. howkeap1transport proteinherb–drug interactionTherapeutics.
