Mechanism of Dangfei Liganning Capsule on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease via inhibiting liver oxidative stress in mice
Objective:,2,To investigate the therapeutic effects and potential mechanisms of Dangfei Liganning Capsule on high fat diet induced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD) in mice.,Methods:,2,Male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the normal group, model group and Dangfei Liganning(0.42 g·kg,-1,·d,-1,) group, 10 mice in each group.Except the normal group, mice in the other groups were fed with high fat diet for 12 weeks to induce the model.After modeling, each group was treated with the corresponding drug by intragastric administration for 4 weeks.After the last administration, the serum was taken and the liver tissue was collected.The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), low-density lipoprotein(LDL) and high-density lipoprotein(HDL) were detected by biochemical analyzer.The morphological changes of liver tissue were observed after oil red O staining and HE staining.The levels of TC, TG, malondialdehyde(MDA), glutathione(GSH) and superoxide dismutase(SOD) in liver tissue were detected by kits.The mRNA expressions of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(,Nrf2,), cytochrome P450 2E1(,CYP2E1,), heme oxygenase 1(,HO-1,), NADPH quinone oxidoreductase 1(,NQO1,) and glutathione S-transferase P1(,GSTP1,) in liver tissue were detected by PCR.The protein expressions of Nrf2 and CYP2E1 in liver tissue were detected by Western blot.,Results:,2,①Compared with the model group, the serum levels of ALT, AST, TC and LDL were significantly decreased in the Dangfei Liganning group(,P,<,0.05) .②Dangfei Liganning Capsule could significantly reduce the TG level in the liver of model mice(,P,<,0.05), and significantly alleviate the hepatocyte steatosis and lipid accumulation in the model mice.Compared with the model group, the activity of SOD in the liver was increased obviously in the Dangfei Liganning group(,P,<,0.05), and the content of MDA in the liver was significantly decreased(,P,<,0.05) .③The mRNA expression levels of ,Nrf2,HO-1,GSTP1,NQO1, and ,CYP2E1, in the model group were significantly lower than those in the normal group(,P,<,0.05,P,<,0.01) .Dangfei Liganning Capsule could significantly up-regulate the mRNA expression levels of ,Nrf2,GSTP1, and ,NQO1, in the liver of model mice(,P,<,0.05) .④The protein expression levels of Nrf2 and CYP2E1 in the model group were significantly lower than those in the normal group(,P,<,0.05,P,<,0.01) .Dangfei Liganning Capsule could significantly increase the protein expression levels of Nrf2 and CYP2E1 in the liver of model mice(,P,<,0.05) .,Conclusion:,2,Dangfei Liganning Capsule shows good therapeutic effects on NAFLD mice induced by high fat diet, and its mechanism is related to the decrease of Nrf2 mediated oxidative stress in liver.
