Protective Effect of Dictyophora Polysaccharides on Sodium Arsenite-Induced Hepatotoxicity: A Proteomics Study.

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study is to understand the mechanism of sodium arsenite (NaAsO2)-induced apoptosis of L-02 human hepatic cells, and how Dictyophora polysaccharide (DIP) protects L-02 cells from arsenic-induced apoptosis. The results revealed that DIP pretreatment inhibited NaAsO2 induced L-02 cells apoptosis by increasing anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 expression and decreasing pro-apoptotic Bax expression. Proteomic analysis showed that arsenic treatment disrupted the expression of metabolism and apoptosis associated proteins, including ribosomal proteins (RPs). After pretreatment with DIP, the expression levels of these proteins were reversed or restored. For the first time, it was observed that the significant decrease of cytoplasmic RPs and the increase of mitochondrial RPs were related to human normal cell apoptosis induced by arsenic. This is also the first report that the protective effect of DIP on cells was related to RPs. The results highlight the relationship between RPs and apoptosis, as well as the relationship between RPs and DIP attenuating arsenic-induced apoptosis.

Project description:BackgroundThe incidence of sepsis has been steadily increasing worldwide, and the heart is one of the target organs that can be easily damaged by sepsis. At present, antibiotics and organ function support are the main treatment options for sepsis and multiple system organ dysfunction, but are still under investigation.MethodsFifty rats were randomly divided into the sham operation group, sepsis group, sivelestat sodium low-dose (L) group (administered with sivelestat sodium 1.6 mg/kg), sivelestat sodium middle-dose (M) group (administered with sivelestat sodium 4.8 mg/kg), and sivelestat sodium high-dose (H) group (administered with sivelestat sodium 10 mg/kg). Morphological changes of myocardial cells and the distribution of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 proteins were observed by light microscope. Serum troponin-T, creatine kinase isoenzyme MB, brain natriuretic peptide, interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor-α, and IL-1β levels and changes in cardiac function indicators were measured. The protein expressions of Bax, Bcl-2, and ERK1/2 were detected by Western blotting.ResultsCompared with the sham operation group, the release of inflammatory factors in the sepsis group increased; the protein expressions of Bax, Bcl-2, and ERK1/2 increased; left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP), and maximum rate of LVP rise (+dp/dtmax) level decreased, whereas -dp/dtmax increased. In the sivelestat sodium groups, the release of inflammatory factors decreased; Bax expression decreased, whereas Bcl-2 and ERK1/2 protein expressions increased; LVSP, LVEDP, and +dp/dtmax increased, whereas -dp/dtmax decreased. In addition, all of these changes occurred in a dose-dependent manner.ConclusionsSivelestat sodium can effectively lower the expressions of inflammatory factors and improve cardiac function. It can act on the ERK1/2 signaling pathway to exert its cardiomyocyte-protective effect, and the activation of this signaling pathway can offer potential treatment sites for septic myocarditis.
