BACKGROUND

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is known to exert anti-inflammatory properties. Apoptosis and autophagy play important roles in concanavalin A (Con A)-induced acute hepatitis. The purpose of this study was to explore both the effect and mechanism of H2S on Con A-induced acute hepatitis.

METHODS

BALB/c mice were randomized into sham group, Con A-injection group, and 14 μmol/kg of sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS, an H2S donor) pretreatment group.

RESULTS

Aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, and pathological damage were significantly ameliorated by NaHS pretreatment. NaHS pretreatment significantly reduced the levels of interleukin-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α compared with those of the Con A group. The expression of Bcl-2, Bax, Beclin-1, and LC3-2, which play important roles in the apoptosis and autophagy pathways, were also clearly affected by NaHS. Furthermore, NaHS affected the p-mTOR and p-AKT.

CONCLUSION

H2S attenuates Con A-induced acute hepatitis by inhibiting apoptosis and autophagy, in part, through activation of the PtdIns3K-AKT1 signaling pathway.

背景

已知硫化氢（H₂S）具有抗炎特性。凋亡和自噬在刀豆蛋白A（Con A）诱导的急性肝炎中起重要作用。本研究的目的是探讨H₂S对Con A诱导的急性肝炎的作用及其机制。

方法

将BALB/c小鼠随机分为假手术组、Con A注射组和14 μmol/kg硫氢化钠（NaHS，一种H₂S供体）预处理组。

结果

NaHS预处理可显著改善天冬氨酸转氨酶、丙氨酸转氨酶水平及病理损伤。与Con A组相比，NaHS预处理显著降低了白细胞介素-6和肿瘤坏死因子-α的水平。在凋亡和自噬途径中起重要作用的Bcl-2、Bax、Beclin-1和LC3-2的表达也受到NaHS的明显影响。此外，NaHS影响p-mTOR和p-AKT。
