Acetaminophen (APAP) induced hepatotoxicity involves activation of c-Jun amino-terminal kinase (JNK), mitochondrial damage and ER stress. BGP-15, a hydroximic acid derivative, has been reported to have hepatoprotective effects in APAP overdose induced liver damage. Effect of BGP-15 was further investigated on mitochondria in APAP-overdose induced acute liver injury in mice. We found that BGP-15 efficiently preserved mitochondrial morphology, and it caused a marked decrease in the number of damaged mitochondria. Attenuation of mitochondrial damage by BGP-15 is supported by immunohistochemistry as the TOMM20 label and the co-localized autophagy markers detected in the livers of APAP-treated mice were markedly reduced upon BGP-15 administration. This effect, along with the observed prevention of JNK activation likely contribute to the mitochondrial protective action of BGP-15.
对乙酰氨基酚(APAP)诱导的肝毒性涉及 c-Jun 氨基末端激酶(JNK)的激活、线粒体损伤和内质网应激。BGP-15 是一种羟肟酸衍生物,据报道在 APAP 过量诱导的肝损伤中有肝保护作用。本研究进一步研究了 BGP-15 对 APAP 过量诱导的急性肝损伤小鼠线粒体的影响。我们发现 BGP-15 能有效地保持线粒体形态,显著减少受损线粒体的数量。BGP-15 减轻线粒体损伤的作用得到免疫组化的支持,因为在 APAP 处理的小鼠肝脏中,TOMM20 标记和共定位的自噬标记明显减少。这种作用,以及观察到的 JNK 激活的抑制,可能有助于 BGP-15 的线粒体保护作用。
