Protective effect of Abrus cantoniensis Hance on acetaminophen-induced acute liver injury in mice

  • 摘要: 目的:研究鸡骨草提取物对对乙酰氨基酚(APAP)诱导小鼠急性肝损伤的保护作用及其机制。方法:将40 只健康的雄性昆明种小鼠随机分为正常组、模型组、阳性组(200 mg/kg N-乙酰-L-半胱氨酸)、鸡骨草提取物高、低剂量组(60 g/kg、30 g/kg);连续给药8 d。末次给药5 h 后,除正常组外,其余各组小鼠腹腔注射265 mg/kg APAP 建立肝损伤模型,测定血清及肝脏组织相关生化指标,并对肝脏组织进行病理形态学检查;运用核磁共振氢谱(1H-NMR)代谢组学技术建立肝代谢物谱,分析鸡骨草提取物对APAP 诱导小鼠急性肝损伤肝代谢轮廓变化和潜在生物标志物的影响。结果:与模型组比较,鸡骨草提取物各剂量组均能著降低谷草转氨酶(ALT)、谷丙转氨酶(AST)、丙二醛(MDA)、白介素-6(IL-6)、一氧化氮(NO)、诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)表达水平(P< 0.05 或P< 0.01),显著升高肝组织超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)水平(P< 0.05 或P< 0.01);鸡骨草提取物高剂量组显著降低肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、白介素-1β(IL-1β)水平(P< 0.05 或P< 0.01);并能改善肝损伤;代谢组学结果显示,共筛选出差异代谢物11 种,分别是谷胱甘肽、亮氨酸、牛磺酸、葡萄糖、甘氨酸、丙氨酸、肌酸等。主要被富集到苯丙氨酸、酪氨酸和色氨酸生物合成,牛磺酸和亚牛磺酸代谢,谷胱甘肽代谢,甘氨酸、丝氨酸和苏氨酸代谢等代谢通路。结论:鸡骨草提取物对APAP诱导小鼠药物性肝损伤具有保护作用,其机制与抗氧化应激及氨基酸代谢、谷胱甘肽代谢和糖代谢等有关。

     

    Abstract: Objective:To observe the effect and mechanism of Abrus cantoniensis Hance on acute liver injury in-duced by acetaminophen (APAP) in mice.Methods:Forty healthy male Kunming mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, positive group (200 mg/kg N-acetyl-L-cysteine), high and low dose of Abrus cantoniensis Hance groups (60 g/kg, 30 g/kg).After continuous administration for 8 days and five hours after the last administration, except for the normal group, the mice in the other groups were intraperitoneally injected with 265 mg/kg APAP to establish a liver injury model.The serum and liver tissue related biochemical indexes were measured, and the pathological changes of the liver tissue were examined.Hydrogen nuclear magnetic reso-nance-spectroscopy (1H-NMR) metabolomics technique was adopted to establish the liver metabolite profile, and the effect of Abrus cantoniensis Hance on the changes of metabolic profile and potential biomarkers of APAP-in-duced acute liver injury in mice was analyzed.Results:Compared with the model group, Abrus cantoniensis Hance in different doses groups could significantly decrease the levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT), alanine aminotransferase (AST), malondialdehyde (MDA), interleukin-6 (IL-6), nitric oxide (NO), and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01), and increase the levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and glutathione (GSH) (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01).The high-dose group of Abrus cantoniensis Hance significantly reduced the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β(IL-1β) (P< 0.05 or P< 0.01), and could improve the liver injury.The total of eleven varying metabolites, including glutathione, leu-cine, taurine, glucose, glycine, alanine, creatine, etc., were found by1H-NMR metabolomic analysis.They were mainly enriched in phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis, taurine and taurine metabolism, glutathi-one metabolism, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism and other metabolic pathways.Conclusion: Abrus cantoniensis Hance has a protective effect on APAP-induced drug-induced liver injury in mice, and its mecha-nism is related to anti-oxidative stress, amino acid metabolism, glutathione metabolism and glucose metabolism.
