Effect of Padina arborescens on -induced Oxidative Stress in Human Endothelial Cell line, ECV304 cells

The marine algae, Padina arborescens, have been used traditionally for treatment of various brain diseases. However, the molecular studies on the effect of Padina arborescens have not been carried out. In the present study, the protective effect of the water extract of Padina arborescens (PAWE) was researched in $H_2O_2$-treated human vascular endothelial cells, ECV304. ECV304 cells were pre-incubated with PAWE (0, 400, 800, 1,200 and $1,600{\mu}g/m{\ell}$) for 12 h and treated with 500 uM $H_2O_2$ for 12 h, and then the protective effects of PAWE were determined. PAWE recovered the $H_2O_2$-induced cell damage and decreased ROS production in ECV304 cells. Moreover, PAWE increased ERK expression and inhibited p38 and JNK expression. Furthermore, PAWE dosedependently increased the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and the HO-1 expression was reduced by ERK inhibitor treatment in $H_2O_2$-treated EVC304 cells. These results suggested that protective effect of PAWE on $H_2O_2$-induced oxidative stress in ECV304 cells might be associated with the production of HO-1 through the ERK signal pathway.
