OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the therapeutic potential of the curcumin analog J7 in protecting the liver and regulating glucose and lipid metabolism in rats with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: Bioinformatics methods were used to identify signaling pathways linked to diabetic liver disease. Diabetic rats were treated with curcumin, low-dose J7, or high-dose J7, and liver function and fibrosis were assessed through biochemical analyses, histopathology, immunohistochemistry, and ELISA. RESULTS: J7 administration significantly improved lisver function, reduced fibrosis, and regulated metabolic profiles in diabetic rats. J7 downregulated TGF-β1, NF-κB p65, and BAX, while upregulating BCL-2, showing superior effects to traditional curcumin in reducing TGF-β1 and inhibiting α-SMA expression. CONCLUSION: J7 demonstrates potential as a therapeutic agent for managing liver complications in type 2 diabetes, effectively attenuating liver fibrosis and regulating metabolism through the modulation of key signaling pathways and proteins.
目的:评估姜黄素类似物J7在保护2型糖尿病大鼠肝脏及调节糖脂代谢方面的治疗潜力。 方法:运用生物信息学方法识别与糖尿病肝病相关的信号通路。给糖尿病大鼠分别用姜黄素、低剂量J7或高剂量J7进行治疗,并通过生化分析、组织病理学、免疫组织化学和酶联免疫吸附测定法评估肝功能和纤维化情况。 结果:给予J7可显著改善糖尿病大鼠的肝功能,减轻纤维化,并调节代谢谱。J7下调转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)、核因子-κB p65(NF-κB p65)和Bax,同时上调Bcl-2,在降低TGF-β1和抑制α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)表达方面显示出优于传统姜黄素的效果。 结论:J7显示出作为治疗2型糖尿病肝脏并发症药物的潜力,可通过调节关键信号通路和蛋白质有效减轻肝纤维化并调节代谢。
