Effects of salvianolic acid a on oxidative stress and liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride in rats

In the present study, we investigated the hepatoprotective effects of salvianolic acid A, a novel antioxidant, against oxidative stress and acute liver injury induced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) in rats, and the mechanisms underlying its protective effects. Administration of CCl(4) to rats caused severe hepatic damage, as demonstrated by the significant increase in the levels of serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase and classic histological changes including hepatocyte necrosis or apoptosis, haemorrhage, fatty degeneration, etc. Co-treatment with salvianolic acid A (20 mg/kg, intraperitoneally), a water-soluble extract from a Chinese traditional drug, Radix Salvia miltiorrhiza, significantly decreased CCl(4)-induced hepatotoxicity. Salvianolic acid A not only decreased serum alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferas levels and ameliorated histopathological manifestations in CCl(4)-treated rats, but also reduced oxidative stress, as evidenced by decreased reactive oxygen species production and malondialdehyde concentrations in the liver tissues, combined with elevated hepatic superoxide dismutase activity and gluthathione content. In addition, salvianolic acid A treatment remarkably reduced intrahepatic tumour necrosis factor-alpha concentrations and caspase-3 activities as compared with the CCl(4)-treated rats. The results suggested that treatment with salvianolic acid A provides a potent protective effect against acute hepatic damage caused by CCl(4) in rats, which may mainly be related to its antioxidative effect.     

Hepatoprotective effects of total saponins isolated from Taraphochlamys affinis against carbon tetrachloride induced liver injury in rats

In this study, rats were orally treated with the total saponins of Taraphochlamys affinis (TSTA) daily with administration of CCl4 twice a week for 8 weeks. Compared to the normal control, CCl4 induced liver damage significantly increased the activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in serum and decreased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), and glutathione reductase (GSH-Rd) in liver. Meanwhile content of hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA), which was oxidative stress marker, was increased. Histological finding also confirmed the hepatotoxic characterization in rats. Furthermore, proinflammatory mediators including tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in serum, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), inducible enitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in liver were detected with elevated contents, while expression of xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme--cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) was inhibited. The results revealed that TSTA not only significantly reversed CCl4 originated changes in serum toxicity and hepatotoxic characterization, but also altered expression of hepatic oxidative stress markers and proinflammatory mediators, combined with restoring liver CYP2E1 level. The results indicated that protective effect of TSTA against CCl4-induced hepatic injury may rely on its effect on reducing oxidative stress, suppressing inflammatory responses and improving drug-metabolizing enzyme activity in liver.     

Hepatoprotective Effects of the Polysaccharide Isolated from Tarphochlamys affinis (Acanthaceae) against CCl(4)-Induced Hepatic Injury

This study was designed to investigate the protective effects of the polysaccharide isolated from Tarphochlamys affinis (PTA) against CCl(4)-induced hepatotoxicity in rats. Liver injury was induced in rats by the administration of CCl(4) twice a week for 2 weeks. During the experiment, the model group received CCl(4) only; the treatment groups received various drugs plus CCl(4), whereas the normal control group received an equal volume of saline. Compared with the CCl(4) group, PTA significantly decreased the activities of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the serum and increased the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in the liver. Moreover, the content of hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) was reduced. Histological findings also confirmed the anti-hepatotoxic characterisation. In addition, PTA significantly inhibited the proinflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and myeloperoxidase (MPO). Further investigation showed that the inhibitory effect of PTA on the pro-inflammatory cytokines was associated with the down-regulation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB). In brief, our results show that the protective effect of PTA against CCl(4)-induced hepatic injury may rely on its ability to reduce oxidative stress and suppress inflammatory responses.

Protective effect of saponins derived from the roots of Platycodon grandiflorum against carbon tetrachloride induced hepatotoxicity in mice

The purpose of this study was to investigate the protective effects of the saponins isolated from the root of Platycodi Radix (Changkil saponins: CKS) on carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4))-induced hepatotoxicities in mice. Pretreatment with CKS prior to the administration of CCl(4) significantly prevented the increase in serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities and hepatic lipid peroxidation formation. In addition, CKS prevented CCl(4)-induced apoptosis and necrosis, as indicated by a liver histopathologic study and DNA laddering. To determine whether Fas/Fas ligand (FasL) pathway involved in CCl(4)-induced acute liver injury, Fas and FasL proteins and caspase-3, -8 activities were tested by western blotting and ELISA. CKS markedly decreased CCl(4)-induced Fas/FasL protein expression levels and in turn attenuated CCl(4)-induced caspase-3, -8 activities in mouse livers. Additionally, CKS protected the CCl(4)-induced depletion of hepatic glutathione levels. The effect of CKS on CYP2E1, the major isozyme involved in CCl(4) bioactivation, was investigated. Treatment with CKS resulted in a significant decrease in the CYP2E1-dependent hydroxylation of aniline. In addition, CKS exhibited antioxidant effects on FeCl(2)-ascorbate induced lipid peroxidation in liver homogenates, and on superoxide radical scavenging activity. These findings suggest that the protective effects of CKS against CCl(4)-induced acute liver injury possibly involve mechanisms related to its ability to block CYP2El-mediated CCl(4) bioactivation and its free radical scavenging effects, and that is also protects against Fas/FasL pathway mediated apoptosis.

Protective effects of Pycnogenol on carbon tetrachloride-induced hepatotoxicity in Sprague-Dawley rats.

Oxidative damage is implicated in the pathogenesis of various liver injuries. In the present study the ability of Pycnogenol (PYC) as an antioxidant to protect against CCl4-induced oxidative stress and hepatotoxicity in rats was investigated. Four experimental groups of six rats each were constructed: a vehicle control group received the respective vehicles (distilled water and corn oil) only; a CCl4 group received a 14-day repeated intraperitoneal (i.p.) dose of distilled water and then a single oral dose of CCl4 at 1.25 ml/kg; and the CCl4&PYC 10 and CCl4&PYC 20 groups received a 14-day repeated i.p. dose of PYC 10 and 20 mg/kg, respectively, and then a single oral dose of CCl4 at 1.25 ml/kg. Hepatotoxicity was assessed 24 h after the CCl4 treatment by measurement of serum aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities, hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) concentrations, and catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activities. The results were confirmed histopathologically. The single oral dose of CCl4 produced significantly elevated levels of serum AST and ALT activities. Histopathological examinations showed extensive liver injuries, characterized by extensive hepatocellular degeneration/necrosis, fatty changes, inflammatory cell infiltration, congestion, and sinusoidal dilatation. In addition, an increased MDA concentration and decreased GSH, catalase, SOD, and GST were observed in the hepatic tissues. On the contrary, PYC treatment prior to the administration of CCl4 significantly prevented the CCl4-induced hepatotoxicity, including the elevation of serum AST and ALT activities and histopathological hepatic lesions, in a dose-dependent manner. Moreover, MDA and GSH levels and catalase, SOD, and GST activities in hepatic tissues were not affected by administration of CCl4, indicating that the pretreatment of PYC efficiently protects against CCl4-induced oxidative damage in rats. The results indicate that PYC has a protective effect against acute hepatotoxicity induced by the administration of CCl4 in rats, and that the hepatoprotective effects of PYC may be due to both the inhibition of lipid peroxidation and the increase of antioxidant activity.

In vivo protective effect of Porphyra yezoensis polysaccharide against carbon tetrachloride induced hepatotoxicity in mice

To study the protective effect and possible mechanism of Porphyra yezoensis polysaccharide (PYP) in hepatotoxicity mice, acute liver injury was successfully induced by injecting 0.2% carbon tetrachloride (CCl(4)) intraperitoneally. Levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in serum and liver homogenate, content of malondialdehyde (MDA), activities of total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD) in liver were measured by biochemical methods. Liver index was calculated and pathological changes of the liver tissue were observed microscopically. PYP was found to significantly decrease the activities of ALT and AST (P<0.05), to remarkably lower the liver indexes and MDA level in hepatical tissues in mice (P<0.05), and to upregulated the lower T-SOD level in liver homogenate (P<0.01). Furthermore, histologic examination showed that PYP could attenuate and the extent of necrosis, reduce the immigration of inflammatory cells. PYP plays a protective action against hepatotoxicity induced by CCl(4) in mice, and its mechanisms may be related to free radical scavenging, increasing SOD activities and anti-lipid peroxide.

Salidroside protects mice against CCl4-induced acute liver injury via down-regulating CYP2E1 expression and inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation

Salidroside (Sal), a natural phenolic compound isolated from Rhodiola sachalinensis, has been utilized as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant for centuries, however, its effects against liver injury and the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study was designed to evaluate the protective effects and underlying mechanisms of Sal on carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced acute liver injury (ALI) in mice. C57BL/6 mice were pretreated with Sal before CCl4 injection, the serum and liver tissue were collected to evaluate liver damage and molecular indices. The results showed that Sal pretreatment dose-dependently attenuated CCl4-induced acute liver injury, as indicated by lowering the activities of serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and inhibiting hepatic pathological damage and apoptosis. In addition, Sal alleviated CCl4-primed oxidative stress and inflammatory response by restoring hepatic glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), and inhibiting cytokines. Finally, Sal also down-regulated the expression of cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1), and Nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome activation in the liver of mice by CCl4. Our study demonstrates that Sal exerts its hepatoprotective effects on ALI through its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, which might be mediated by down-regulating CYP2E1 expression and inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Protective effects of total flavonoids of Bidens bipinnata L. against carbon tetrachloride-induced liver fibrosis in rats

Bidens bipinnata L. is well known in China as a traditional Chinese medicine and has been used to treat hepatitis in clinics for many years. In a previous study we found that total flavonoids of Bidens bipinnata L. (TFB) had a protective effect against carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced acute liver injury in mice. Now this study was designed to investigate its therapeutic effect against CCl4-induced liver fibrosis in rats and to determine, in part, its mechanism of action. The liver fibrosis model was established by subcutaneous injection of 50% CCl4 twice a week for 18 weeks. TFB (40, 80 and 160 mg kg(-1)) was administered by gastrogavage daily from the 9th week. The results showed that TFB (80 and 160 mg kg(-1)) treatment for 10 weeks significantly reduced the elevated liver index (liver weight/body weight) and spleen index (spleen weight/body weight), elevated levels of serum transaminases (alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase), hyaluronic acid, type III procollagen and hepatic hydroxyproline. In addition, TFB markedly inhibited CCl4-induced lipid peroxidation and enhanced the activity of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. Moreover, TFB (80 and 160 mg kg(-1)) treatment improved the morphologic changes of hepatic fibrosis induced by CCl4 and suppressed nuclear factor (NF)-kappaB, alpha-smooth muscle actin (SMA) protein expression and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 gene expression in the liver of liver fibrosis of rats. In conclusion, TFB was able to ameliorate liver injury and protect rats from CCl4-induced liver fibrosis by suppressing oxidative stress. This process may be related to inhibiting the induction of NF-kappaB on hepatic stellate cell activation and the expression of TGF-beta1.
