Abstract

Stachydrine, a prominent bioactive alkaloid derived from Leonurus heterophyllus, is a significant herb in traditional medicine. It has been noted for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant characteristics. Consequently, we conducted a study of its hepatoprotective effect and the fundamental mechanisms involved in acetaminophen (APAP)-induced liver injury, utilizing a mouse model. Mice were intraperitoneally administered a hepatotoxic dose of APAP (300 mg/kg). Thirty minutes after APAP administration, mice were treated with different concentrations of stachydrine (0, 2.5, 5, and 10 mg/kg). Animals were sacrificed 16 h after APAP injection for serum and liver tissue assays. APAP overdose significantly elevated the serum alanine transferase levels, hepatic pro-inflammatory cytokines, malondialdehyde activity, phospho-extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), phospho-protein kinase B (AKT), and macrophage-stimulating protein expression. Stachydrine treatment significantly decreased these parameters in mice with APAP-induced liver damage. Our results suggest that stachydrine may be a promising beneficial target in the prevention of APAP-induced liver damage through attenuation of the inflammatory response, inhibition of the ERK and AKT pathways, and expression of macrophage-stimulating proteins.

摘要

水苏碱是一种从益母草中提取的重要生物活性生物碱,是传统医学中的一种重要草药。它具有抗炎和抗氧化特性。因此,我们利用小鼠模型研究了其对乙酰氨基酚(APAP)诱导的肝损伤的保护作用和基本机制。小鼠腹腔内给予肝毒性剂量的 APAP(300mg/kg)。APAP 给药 30 分钟后,用不同浓度的水苏碱(0、2.5、5 和 10mg/kg)处理小鼠。APAP 注射后 16 小时处死动物,用于血清和肝组织检测。APAP 过量显著升高血清丙氨酸转氨酶水平、肝促炎细胞因子、丙二醛活性、磷酸细胞外信号调节激酶(ERK)、磷酸蛋白激酶 B(AKT)和巨噬细胞刺激蛋白表达。水苏碱治疗可显著降低 APAP 诱导肝损伤小鼠的这些参数。我们的结果表明,水苏碱可能通过抑制 ERK 和 AKT 通路以及表达巨噬细胞刺激蛋白,成为预防 APAP 诱导肝损伤的有希望的有益靶点。
