Danshensu, isolated from Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen), is known to have anti-inflammatory properties. Therefore danshen is extensively used in many nutraceutical formulations. Reactive oxygen species are essential for the development of hypoxia-induced inflammation. Generation of reactive oxygen species by infiltrating macrophages is common in various diseases such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, tumor, and aging. To explore the mechanism underlying the attenuation of inflammation, we used RAW 264.7 cells as a model and hypoxia as an inducer of inflammation. The results showed the protective mechanism of danshensu on reactive oxygen species production, hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha expression, c-Jun N-terminal kinase phosphorylation, nuclear translocation of nuclear factor kappa B, and inducible nitric oxide synthase expression following hypoxia in RAW 264.7 cells.

Reactive oxygen species production by bovine pulmonary alveolar macrophages was evaluated by a chemiluminescence assay utilizing luminol and opsonized zymosan. Incubation with dobutamine (5 × 10−8 and 5 × 10−7 M) or isoproterenol (5 × 10−8 and 5 × 10−7 M) prior to zymosan challenge significantly (p < 0.05) increased the time for chemiluminescence to begin, and significantly decreased the level of maximum chemiluminescence. The agonists' inhibitory effects on maximum chemiluminescence were significantly reduced by pre-incubation with the appropriate antagonist (atenolol at 1 × 10−6 M for dobutamine; and propranolol at 1 × 10−6 M for isoproterenol). Salbutamol at 1 × 10−6 M significantly reduced the level of maximum chemiluminescence only, but did not increase the time for chemiluminescence to begin. This effect was significantly reduced by the presence of the β2-antagonist ICI 118,551 at 1 × 10−6 M. The results reveal the presence of (β1- and (β2-adrenoceptors on bovine pulmonary alveolar macrophages, and suggest that these receptors are important in the regulation of reactive oxygen species production by these cells.
