Chicoric acid ameliorate inflammation and oxidative stress in Lipopolysaccharide and d-galactosamine induced acute liver injury.

ABSTRACT: Chicoric acid is polyphenol of natural plant and has a variety of bioactivity. Caused by various kinds of stimulating factors, acute liver injury has high fatality rate. The effect of chicoric acid in acute liver injury induced by Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and d-galactosamine (d-GalN) was investigated in this study. The results showed that CA decreased the aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in serum and reduced the mortality induced by LPS/d-GalN. CA can restrain mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-?B) to alleviate inflammation. Meanwhile, the results indicated CA can active nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway with increasing the level of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). And with the treatment of CA, protein levels of autophagy genes were obvious improved. The results of experiments indicate that CA has protective effect in liver injury, and the activation of AMPK and autophagy may make sense.

Project description:Costunolide, a sesquiterpene isolated from Vladimiria souliei (Franch.) Ling, is known to exhibit anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-tumor activities. However, the effects of costunolide on liver injury are poorly understood. The current study aimed to investigate the hepatoprotective effects of costunolide against lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and D-galactosamine-induced acute liver injury (ALI) in mice. The results indicated that costunolide (40 mg/kg) could significantly improve the pathological changes of hepatic tissue, and reduced the LPS and D-galactosamine-induced increases of alanine aminotransferase (from 887.24 ± 21.72 to 121.67 ± 6.56 IU/L) and aspartate aminotransferase (from 891.01 ± 45.24 to 199.94 ± 11.53 IU/L) activities in serum. Further research indicated that costunolide significantly reduced malondialdehyde content (from 24.56 ± 1.39 to 9.17 ± 0.25 nmol/ml) and reactive oxygen species (from 203.34 ± 7.68 to 144.23 ± 7.12%), increased the activity of anti-oxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (from 153.74 ± 10.33 to 262.27 ± 8.39 U/ml), catalase (from 6.12 ± 0.30 to 12.44 ± 0.57 U/ml), and total anti-oxidant capacity (from 0.64 ± 0.06 to 6.29 ± 0.11 U/ml) in hepatic tissues. Western blot results revealed that costunolide may trigger the anti-oxidative defense system by inhibiting kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 and nuclear factor-related factor 2 (cytosol), increasing nuclear factor-related factor 2 (nucleus), heme oxygenase-1 and NAD (P) H quinone oxidoreductase 1 activity. Moreover, costunolide significantly decreased the protein expression of proinflammatory cytokines including interleukin 1?, interleukin 6, and tumor necrosis factor. Pretreatment with costunolide could reduce the expression of toll-like receptor 4, myeloid differentiation factor 88, p65 (Nucleus), phosphorylated I?B kinase ?/?, inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa-B kinase, inhibitor kappa B? and prevent the expression of phosphorylated inhibitor kappa B kinase which repressed translocation of p65 from cytoplasm to nucleus. In addition, pretreatment with costunolide also inhibited hepatocyte apoptosis by reducing the expression of B-cell lymphoma 2 associated X, cytochrome C, cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 3, cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 8 and cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase 9, and by increasing B-cell lymphoma 2. From the above analysis, the protective effects of costunolide against LPS and D-galactosamine-induced ALI in mice may be attributed to its anti-oxidative activity in nuclear factor-related factor 2 signaling pathways, anti-inflammatory suppression in nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathways, and inhibition of hepatocyte apoptosis. Thus, costunolide may be a potential therapeutic agent in attenuating LPS and D-galactosamine -induced ALI in the future.

Project description:Alcohol liver disease (ALD) is a liver disease caused by long-term heavy drinking. Glucosamine (GLC) is an amino monosaccharide that plays a very important role in the synthesis of human and animal cartilage. GLC is commonly used in the treatment of mild to moderate osteoarthritis and has good anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. In this study, alcoholic injury models were constructed in mice and human normal hepatocyte L02 cells to explore the protective effect and mechanism of GLC on ALD. Mice were given GLC by gavage for 30 days. Liver injury models of both mice and L02 cells were produced by ethanol. Detecting the levels of liver injury biomarkers, lipid metabolism, oxidative stress biomarkers, and inflammatory factors through different reagent kits. Exploring oxidative and inflammatory pathways in mouse liver tissue through Western blot and RT-PCR. The results showed that GLC can significantly inhibit the abnormal increase of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), very low density lipoprotein (VLDL), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and can significantly improve the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). In addition, GLC intervention significantly improved alcohol induced hepatic oxidative stress by reducing the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and, increasing the levels of glutathione (GSH), catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the liver. Further mechanisms suggest that GLC can inhibit the expression of ethanol metabolism enzyme cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1), activate the antioxidant pathway Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1, down-regulate the phosphorylation of MAPK and NF-κB signaling pathways, and thus reduce the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). Therefore, GLC may be a significant candidate functional food for attenuating alcohol induced acute liver injury.
