目的
2
从核因子E2相关因子2(nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2,Nrf2)/血红素加氧酶1(heme oxygenase 1,HMOX1)信号通路介导的铁死亡角度,探讨健脾柔肝汤(Jianpi Rougan decoction,JPD)对CCl
4
诱导的大鼠肝纤维化的影响及作用机制。
方法
2
将72只SD(Sprague-Dawley)大鼠随机分为6组,正常对照组(Con)、模型组(CCl
4
)、秋水仙碱组(colchicine,Col),以及健脾柔肝汤低、中、高剂量组(JPD-L、JPD-M、JPD-H),每组12只。大鼠肝纤维化模型通过腹腔注射橄榄油与CCl
4
混合溶液(40%,3 mL/kg)建立,模型建立后健脾柔肝汤连续灌胃给药6周,对各组大鼠血清丙氨酸氨基转移酶(alanine aminotransferase,ALT)、天冬氨酸氨基转移酶(aspartate aminotransferase,AST)水平和肝纤维化4项:层粘连蛋白(laminin,Ln)、透明质酸(hyaluronic acid,HA)、Ⅲ型胶原(collagen type Ⅲ,ColⅢ)、Ⅳ型胶原(collagen type Ⅳ,ColⅣ)水平
进行检测;通过苏木精-伊红(hematoxylin-eosin,HE)、MASSON和天狼星染色观察肝组织形态学改变;并对大鼠肝组织中谷胱甘肽(glutathione,GSH)、丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)、超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)及亚铁离子(Fe
2+
)含量进行检测;最后通过免疫组化(immunohistochemistry,IHC)和蛋白质免疫印迹(Western blot,WB)实验检测肝组织中肝纤维化相关蛋白α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-smooth muscle actin,α-SMA)、胶原蛋白Ⅰ(Collagen Ⅰ)、铁死亡相关蛋白长链脂肪酸辅酶A连接酶4(acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4,ACSL4)、转铁蛋白受体1(transferrin receptor protein 1,TFR1)、铁蛋白重链1(ferritin heavy chain 1,FTH1)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶4(glutathione peroxidase 4,GPX4)及Nrf2/HMOX1信号通路Nrf2、HMOX1蛋白的表达。
结果
2
与Con组相比,CCl
4
组大鼠血清中ALT、AST水平,以及MDA和Fe
2+
含量明显升高(
P
<
0.05),而SOD、GSH水平则明显下降(
P
<
0.05);并在CCl
4
组大鼠中观察到肝脏严重的病理损伤,包括肝细胞坏死、炎症细胞浸润及胶原纤维沉积;CCl
4
组大鼠肝组织中α-SMA、CollagenⅠ及ACSL4、TFR1蛋白阳性表达均升高(
P
<
0.05),而FTH1、GPX4及Nrf2、HMOX1蛋白的阳性表达均降低(
P
<
0.05)。与CCl
4
组比较,JPD各剂量组大鼠的血清ALT、AST和MDA、Fe
2+
水平及肝组织中α-SMA、CollagenⅠ及ACSL4、TFR1蛋白含量均降低,在JPD-H组中较为明显(
P
<
0.05);同时SOD、GSH水平及FTH1、GPX4、Nrf2和HMOX1蛋白含量均升高,同样在JPD-H组中较为明显(
P
<
0.05)。病理学结果显示,健脾柔肝汤能够明显缓解肝细胞坏死、炎症细胞浸润及胶原纤维沉积。
结论
2
健脾柔肝汤能够通过激活Nrf2/HMOX1信号通路来改善肝脏功能,减轻由CCl
4
诱导的大鼠肝纤维化,在临床肝纤维化治疗中具有一定潜力。
Objective
2
To investigate the effect and mechanism of action of Jianpi Rougan decoction(JPD) on carbon tetrachloride(CCl₄)-induced liver fibrosis in rats from the perspective of ferroptosis mediated by the Nrf2/HMOX1 signaling pathway.
Methods
2
A total of 72 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group(Con group),model group(CCl₄ group),colchicine group(Col group),and low-,middle-,and high-dose JPD groups(JPD-L,JPD-M,and JPD-H groups),with 12 rats in each group,Intraperitoneal injection of a mixed solution of olive oil and CCl₄(40%,3 mL/kg) was performed to establish a rat model of liver fibrosis,and after modeling,JPD was given by gavage for 6 consecutive weeks,The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase(AST) were measured for the rats in each group,as well as the four indicators of liver fibrosis(laminin,hyaluronic acid,collagen type Ⅲ,and collagen type Ⅳ);HE staining,Masson staining,and Sirius red staining were used to observe liver histomorphological changes; the contents of glutathione(GSH),malondialdehyde (MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),and ferrous ion(Fe²⁺) in rat liver tissue were also measured; immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to measure the protein expression levels of liver fibrosis-related proteins(α-smooth muscle actin[α-SMA] and CollagenⅠ) and ferroptosis-related proteins(acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4[ACSL4],transferrin receptor protein 1[TFR1],ferritin heavy chain 1[FTH1],and glutathione peroxidase 4[GPX4]) in liver tissue,as well as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and heme oxygenase 1(HMOX1) associated with the Nrf2/HMOX1 signaling pathway.
Results
2
Compared with the Con group,the CCl
4
group had significant increases in the serum levels of ALT and AST and the contents of MDA and Fe²⁺ d(
P
<
0.05) and significant reductions in the levels of SOD and GSH(
P
<
0.05),as well as severe liver pathological injury (including hepatocyte necrosis,inflammatory cell infiltration,and collagen fiber deposition),and there were significant increases in the positive expression of α-SMA,CollagenⅠ,ACSL4,and TFR1 and significant reductions in the positive expression of FTH1,GPX4,Nrf2,and HMOX1 in liver tissue(
P
<
0.05),Compared with the CCl
4
group,the JPD-L,JPD-M,and JPD-H groups had significant reductions in the serum levels of ALT,AST,MDA,and Fe²⁺ and the contents of α-SMA,CollagenⅠ,ACSL4,and TFR1 in liver tissue,with significantly greater reductions in the JPD-H group(
P
<
0.05); meanwhile,these three group
s had significant increases in the levels of SOD and GSH and the contents of FTH1,GPX4,Nrf2,and HMOX1,with significantly greater increases in the JPD-H group(
P
<
0.05),In addition,pathological results showed that JPD could significantly alleviate hepatocyte necrosis,inflammatory cell infiltration,and collagen fiber deposition.
Conclusion
2
JPD can improve liver function and alleviate CCl₄-induced liver fibrosis in rats by activating the Nrf2/HMOX1 signaling pathway,thereby showing a great potential in the clinical treatment of liver fibrosis.
