Abstract Ethnopharmacological relevance: In China, Penthorum chinense Pursh (PCP) is renowned for its effectiveness in “promoting blood circulation” and “removing blood stasis”. It can “relieve the liver” and its application in the field of liver protection, including viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver, liver fibrosis, has been known for hundreds of years.Aim of the study: Oxidative stress is widely believed to exert a key role in the pathophysiology of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Therefore, antioxidant therapy reflects a reasonable strategy for the prevention and treatment of ALD. Hence, this study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of PCP in ethanol-induced liver injury.Methods: Treatment of liver-specific transgenic zebrafish larvae (lfabp: EGFP) at three days post-fertilization (3 dpf) with different concentrations of PCP (100, 50, 25 μg / mL) for 48 h was followed by soaking in 350 mmol / L ethanol for 32 h. Liver function and fat accumulation were identified by phenotypic indicators and biochemical kits. The related proteins and gene expression were further estimated by western blotting and quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Finally, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was adopted to analyze the chemical composition of PCP extract.Results: Firstly, PCP mediated alleviation of ethanol-induced steatosis and reduction of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) related indexes were evident. Dose-dependent decrease of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, the activity of malondialdehyde (MDA) and increased the activity of glutathione (GSH), Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in zebrafish substantiated the role of PCP in relieving oxidative stress. Furthermore, PCP induced downregulation of sequestosome 1 (p62 / SQSTM1, p62), Atg13 and Beclin 1 expression promoted autophagy. Meanwhile, PCP contributed to the hepatoprotective function by downregulating the expression of kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) and upregulating the expression of nucleus factor-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), which activated cytoprotective related gene HO-1. Moreover, HPLC of PCP extract confirmed the presence of various polyphenols with potential antioxidant effects. Finally, PCP appeared to promote the activated protein kinase (AMPK) / p62 / Nrf2 / mTOR signaling pathways, which were related to oxidative stress and autophagy in zebrafish.Conclusion: This study claimed that by activating the AMPK / p62 / Nrf2 / mTOR signaling pathway, PCP could attenuate ethanol-induced liver injury in zebrafish.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance. Penthorum chinense Pursh (Penthoraceae) is a traditional herbal plant that has been used in China for the treatment of jaundice, cholecystitis, edema, and infectious hepatitis. In addition, the Korea Medicinal Plant Dictionary states that Penthorum chinense Pursh can be used to treat contusions and skin bruises by improving blood flow. Recent studies have shown that Penthorum chinense Pursh ethanol extract (Pc-EE) exhibits strong antioxidant effects. In this study, we examined the effects of Pc-EE on UVB-induced or H2O2-induced oxidative stress, as well as its antimelanogenic properties. Cell viability, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression, cyclooxygenease-2 (COX-2), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression and moisturizing factors were investigated in keratinocytes. Collagen synthesis induction was measured in HEK293T cells. For melanogenesis, the effects of Pc-EE on melanin content and tyrosinase activity were measured. Additionally, the antimelanogenic- and autophagy-inducing activities of Pc-EE were examined using immunoblotting and confocal microscopy. Pc-EE protected HaCaT cells against death from UVB irradiation- or H2O2-induced oxidative stress. Pc-EE increased the promoter activity of the type 1 procollagen gene Col1A1 and decreased the expression of MMPs, COX-2, IL-6, and hyaluronidase induced by UVB irradiation- or H2O2-induced oxidative stress. Pc-EE showed a strong antioxidant effect in the DPPH assay. In α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone- (α-MSH-) stimulated B16F10 cells, Pc-EE reduced melanin production, decreased tyrosinase expression and microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF) protein levels, and decreased the phosphorylation levels of p38 and JNK. In HEK293T cells, Pc-EE promoted the expression of GFP-LC3B. In B16F10 cells, the LC3B and melanin contents were reduced by Pc-EE and were restored by the autophagy inhibitor 3-methyladenine (3-MA). These results suggest that Pc-EE can be used as a skin protection agent due to its antiapoptotic, antiaging, anti-inflammatory, and antimelanogenic properties.

Abstract BackgroundAs an ATP-gated ion channel, P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) affects lipid metabolism by activating the dangerous molecule ATP derived from liver cells caused by alcohol. Penthorum chinense Pursh (PCP), known as “shenxiancao”, plays a significant role in treating liver disease among Miao people. We first investigated whether liver protection mechanism of PCP mediated by P2X7R. MethodsFirst, treatment of zebrafish transgenic (fabp10: EGFP) larvae with different concentrations of PCP after 48 h at 3 dpf, then soaked in 350 mmol/L ethanol for 32 h. Subsequently the ameliorative effect of PCP in zebrafish with alcoholic hepatosteatosis was studied. In addition, gene expression related to lipid metabolism, oxidative stress, and autophagy was detected from the mRNA level by RT-qPCR and related proteins were measured by Western blot. Then, larvae were stimulated with ATP alone to explore whether PCP was the target of P2X7R.ResultsPCP significantly improved liver function and lipid deposition in zebrafish with alcoholic hepatosteatosis, and regulated the expression of SREBP1, CHREBP and FAS by elevating LKB1 and AMPK, thereby inhibiting the synthesis of fatty acids. Also, SIRT1 was suppressed in the model group, while PCP upregulated the expression. Inecreased expression of PPARα, decreased PPARγ, and CPT1 then promoted the oxidation of fatty acids. PCP dose-dependently decreased intracellular ROS production in zebrafish, then reduced MDA activity elevation and increased GSH, CAT and SOD levels. The specific mechanism may be realized by up-regulating the antioxidant pathway of Keap1/Nrf2 and down-regulating the autophagy pathway of PI3K/Akt/mTOR to regulate lipid metabolism. After ATP stimulation, P2X7R is further activated, which in turn regulated Keap1/Nrf2 and mTOR/PI3K/Akt mRNA expression, while PCP reversed these changes.ConclusionsPCP may be a target of P2X7R involvement in the regulation of this mechanism through up-regulation of the antioxidant pathway of Keap1/Nrf2 and down-regulation of the autophagic pathway of mTOR/ PI3K/Akt to regulate lipid metabolism, suggesting that blocking P2X7R is an emerging strategy for the therapy of ALD.

Penthorum chinense Pursh (PCP) is a kind of functional food or medicine for liver protection. In the present work, Plackett-Burman design, steepest ascent method, and response surface methodology (RSM) were employed to obtain maximum total sugar yield. The experimental yield of 6.91% indicated a close agreement with the predicted yield of 7.00% of the model under optimized conditions. The major polysaccharide fraction (PCPP-1a) from PCPP was purified and identified as acidic polysaccharides with a high content of uronic acid (FT-IR, UV, HPGPC). PCPP had similar monosaccharide profile with PCPP-1a but was rich in galacturonic acid (HPLC). Both of PCPP and PCPP-1a possessed strong hydroxyl radical scavenging, DPPH radical scavenging, and Fe2+ chelating activities. Moreover, they were revealed to show strong anti-inflammatory activities by inhibiting NO, TNF-α, and IL-1β release compared to LPS treatment in RAW264.7 cells. These data suggest that the polysaccharides from PCP could be potential natural products for treating ROS and inflammatory-related diseases.
