| Abstract | Increasing numbers of natural products have been found to possess anticancer effects. Nuclear factor erythroid-2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) is a master regulator of the antioxidative stress response, and our previous studies found that epigenetic modification of the Nrf2 gene appears to be a critical mechanism. Salvia miltiorrhiza, a Chinese herbal medicine widely used in Asian countries, has been shown to possess anticancer and antioxidant effects. Tanshinone IIA (TIIA), an active component in S. miltiorrhiza, has been reported to activate Nrf2 pathway. The objective of this study was to investigate the epigenetic regulation of Nrf2 by TIIA in mouse skin epidermal JB6 cells and the functional consequences for cell transformation. TIIA was found to induce antioxidant response element-luciferase and upregulate the mRNA and protein levels of Nrf2 and Nrf2 downstream target genes HO-1 and NQO-1. TIIA decreased the colony formation of JB6 cells by approximately 80%. TIIA decreased the protein levels of DNMT1, DNMT3a, DNMT3b, and HDAC3 and inhibited the enzymatic activity of HDACs. Bisulfite genomic sequencing indicated that TIIA demethylated the first five CpGs in the promoter region of the Nrf2 gene. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays showed that TIIA treatment increased the recruitment of RNA polymerase II at Nrf2 transcription start site but had limited effects on enrichment of Ac-H3 in Nrf2 promoter. Taken together, our results show that TIIA activates the Nrf2 signaling pathway and induces epigenetic demethylation of the CpGs of Nrf2. The epigenetic reactivation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway by TIIA could potentially contribute to the attenuation of JB6 cellular transformation and anticancer effects. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
