Abstract

Oleanolic acid (OA) is a triterpenoid known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties; however, the anti-inflammatory effects of OA on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated pro-inflammatory responses have not been studied. Here, we first investigated the possible anti-inflammatory effects of OA against pro-inflammatory responses in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) induced by LPS and the associated signaling pathways. We found that OA inhibited LPS-induced barrier disruption, expression of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), and adhesion/transendothelial migration of monocytes to HUVECs. OA also suppressed acetic acid-induced hyperpermeability and carboxymethylcellulose-induced leukocyte migration in vivo. Further studies revealed that OA suppressed the production of tumor necrosis factor-α and activation of nuclear factor-κB by LPS. Collectively, these results suggest that OA has anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting hyperpermeability, the expression of CAMs, and the adhesion and migration of leukocytes, thereby endorsing its usefulness as a therapeutic agent for vascular inflammatory diseases.
