Picroliv, an iridoid glycoside derived from the plant Picrorhiza kurroa, is used traditionally to treat fever, asthma, hepatitis and other inflammatory conditions. However, the exact mechanism of its therapeutic action is still unknown. Because NF-κB activation plays a major role in inflammation and carcinogenesis, we postulated that picroliv must interfere with this pathway by inhibiting the activation of NF-κB mediated signal cascade. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay showed that pretreatment with picroliv abrogated TNF induced activation of NF-κB. The glycoside also inhibited NF-κB activated by carcinogenic and inflammatory agents such as CSC, PMA, OA, H2O2, LPS and EGF. When examined for the mechanism of action, we found that picroliv inhibited activation of IκBα kinase, leading to inhibition of phosphorylation and degradation of IκBα. It also inhibited phosphorylation and nuclear translocation of p65. Further studies revealed that picroliv directly inhibits the binding of p65 to DNA, which was reversed by the treatment with reducing agents, suggesting a role for a cysteine residue in interaction with picroliv. Mutation of cysteine residue 38 in p65 to serine abolished this effect of picroliv. NF-κB inhibition by picroliv lead to suppression of NF-κB-regulated proteins, including those linked with cell survival (IAP1, Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, survivin, and TRAF2), proliferation (cyclin D1 and COX-2), angiogenesis (VEGF), and invasion (ICAM-1 and MMP-9). Suppression of these proteins, enhanced apoptosis induced by TNF. Overall, our results demonstrate that picroliv inhibits the NF-κB activation pathway, which may explain its anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic effects.
