Hepatoprotective Effects

Background and Objective : A Tibetan traditional herb named Swertia mussotii Franch., also called “Zangyinchen” by the local people of Qinghai-Tibet area, has been used to protect the liver from injury for many years. However, the curative effect and molecular mechanism of the herb have not been demonstrated clearly. Materials and Methods: In our study, serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin levels were examined after S. mussotii Franch. treatment in the acute liver injury of the carbon tetrachloride-induced rat model. Then, Proteome Analysis was applied to explore the potential mechanism of SMT for hepatoprotective effects after iTRAQLC-MS/MS analysis (isobaric tag for relative and absolute quantification-liquid chromatograph-mass spectrometer with tandem mass spectrometry). Results: Serum results showed, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin levels of rats with acute liver injury were all improved with SMT treatment. Moreover, Proteome Analysis suggested that, with S. Mussotii Franch. treatment, the levels of lipid catabolic process and lipid homeostasis were all enhanced. And the results of protein-protein interaction (PPI) analysis illustrated that these proteins assembled in PPI networks were found almost significantly enriched in response to lipid, negative regulation of lipase activity, response to lipopolysaccharide etc. Furthermore, the downregulated MRP14 and MRP8 proteins were found involved in the lipid metabolism, which may indicate the mechanism of SMT protection liver from ALI induced by carbon tetrachloride. Conclusion: SMT herb could play a role in hepatoprotection and alleviate the effect of acute liver injury by impacting the lipid metabolism associated biological process.

Background: CCl4 acute liver injury (ALI) is a classical model for experimental research. However, there are few reports involved in the fundamental research of CCl4-induced ALI Ligustri Lucidi Fructus (LLF) are and its prescription have been used to treat hepatitis illness clinically. LLF and its active ingredients displayed anti-hepatitis effects, but the mechanism of function has not been fully clarified Objective: To investigate the proteomic analysis of CCl4-induced ALI, and examine the effects of active total glycosides (TG) from LLF on ALI of mice4, including histopathological survey and proteomic changes of liver tissues, and delineate the possible underlying mechanism. Methods: CCl4 was used to produce ALI mice model. The model mice were intragastrically administrated with TG and the liver his-topathological changes of mice were examined. At the end of test, mice liver samples were collected, after protein denaturation, re-duction, desalination and enzymatic hydrolysis, identification was carried out by nano LC-ESI-OrbiTrap MS/MS technology. The data was processed by Maxquant software. The differentially-expressed proteins were screened and identified, and their biological information was also analyzed based on GO and KEGG analysis. Key protein expression was validated by Western blot analysis Results: A total of 705 differentially-expressed proteins were identified during the normal, model and administration group. 9 signifi-cant differential proteins were focused based on analysis. Liver protein expression changes of CCl4-induced ALI mice were mainly involved in several important signal channels, namely FoxO signaling pathway, autophagy-animal, insulin signaling pathway. TG has anti-liver damnification effect in ALI mice, the mechanism of which is related to FoxO1 and autophagy pathways Conclusion: CCl4 inhibited expression of insulin-Like growth factor 1 (Igf1) and 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (Pdpk1) in liver cells and induced insulin resistance, thus interfered with mitochondrial autophagy and regeneration of liver cells and the metabolism of glucose and lipid, and caused hepatic necrosis in mice. TG resisted liver injury in mice. TG adjusted the expression level of key proteins Igf1 and Pdpk1 after liver injury and improved insulin resistance, thus promoted autophagy and resisted the liver damage

AbstractPatients with severe acute liver injury (SLI) usually recover spontaneously. However, some SLI patients progress to acute liver failure with varying degrees of hepatic encephalopathy. Acute liver failure is associated with high mortality and can be substantially reduced by liver transplantation. Therefore, distinguishing SLI patients who might progress to acute liver failure and are at a risk of death is important when evaluating patients needing liver transplantation. The present study aimed to determine whether technetium-99m-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid galactosyl human serum albumin (Tc-99m GSA) scintigraphy can predict the prognosis of patients with SLI. This prospective observational study included 69 SLI patients. The accuracy of Tc-99m GSA for predicting death or liver transplantation for 6 months was assessed. Between the two groups of patients stratified based on the cut-off values from the receiver operating characteristic curves, 6-month transplant-free survival was compared. Sixteen (23.2%) patients died or underwent liver transplantation from admission (poor outcome). The hepatic accumulation index was calculated by dividing the radioactivity of the liver region of interest by that of the liver-plus-heart region of interest at 15 min (i.e., LHL15). The LHL15 in the 16 patients (0.686) was significantly lower than that in survivors (0.836; P < 0.0001). The optimal LHL15 cut-off for distinguishing poor outcome and survival was 0.737 with a sensitivity of 81.3%, specificity of 88.7%, and area under the curve of 0.907 (95% CI, 0.832–0.981). When patients were divided into two groups based on the LHL15 cut-off value, the 6-month transplant-free survival was significantly lower in patients with an LHL15 level ≤ 0.737. Tc-99m GSA scintigraphy may help predict the prognosis of patients with SLI.
