The liver is vulnerable to oxidative stress-induced damage, which leads to many diseases, including alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Liver disease endanger people's health, and the incidence of ALD is increasing; therefore, prevention is very important. 7-phloro-eckol (7PE) is a seaweed polyphenol, which was isolated from in a previous study. In this study, the antioxidative stress effect of 7PE on HepG2/CYP2E1 cells was evaluated by alcohol-induced cytotoxicity, DNA damage, and expression of related inflammation and apoptosis proteins. The results showed that 7PE caused alcohol-induced cytotoxicity to abate, reduced the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO), and effectively inhibited DNA damage in HepG2/CYP2E1 cells. Additionally, the expression levels of glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), B cell lymphoma 2 (Bcl-2), and Akt increased, while γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT), Bcl-2 related x (Bax), cleaved caspase-3, cleaved caspase-9, nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), and JNK decreased. Finally, molecular docking proved that 7PE could bind to BCL-2 and GSH protein. These results indicate that 7PE can alleviate the alcohol-induced oxidative stress injury of HepG2 cells and that 7PE may have a potential application prospect in the future development of antioxidants.
肝脏容易受到氧化应激诱导的损伤,这会导致许多疾病,包括酒精性肝病(ALD)。肝脏疾病危害人们的健康,ALD 的发病率正在上升;因此,预防非常重要。7-脱甲氧基-环氧海松醇(7PE)是一种海藻多酚,先前的研究中从 中分离得到。在这项研究中,通过酒精诱导的细胞毒性、DNA 损伤以及相关炎症和凋亡蛋白的表达,评估了 7PE 对 HepG2/CYP2E1 细胞的抗氧化应激作用。结果表明,7PE 减轻了酒精诱导的细胞毒性,减少了活性氧(ROS)和一氧化氮(NO)的产生,有效抑制了 HepG2/CYP2E1 细胞的 DNA 损伤。此外,谷胱甘肽(GSH)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、B 细胞淋巴瘤 2(Bcl-2)和 Akt 的表达水平增加,而 γ-谷氨酰转移酶(GGT)、Bcl-2 相关 X(Bax)、裂解的半胱天冬酶-3、裂解的半胱天冬酶-9、核因子-κB(NF-κB)和 JNK 的表达水平降低。最后,分子对接证明 7PE 可以与 BCL-2 和 GSH 蛋白结合。这些结果表明,7PE 可以减轻 HepG2 细胞的酒精诱导的氧化应激损伤,并且 7PE 可能在未来抗氧化剂的开发中具有潜在的应用前景。
