| 摘 要： | Aim To explore the mechanism of ethanolic extracts of euonymus alatus on CCl4-induced hepatic fibrosis in mice by regulating JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. Methods Sixty C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control group,model group,EAL,EAM),EAH,and Silybin(n=10). Except for the control group,mice in other groups were injected with 25% CCl4 of 1.6 mL·kg-1 to induce HF model. Moreover,the positive group was administered 12.6 mg·kg-1 Silybin by gavage once a day,and EAL,EAM,and EAH were administered 72,140 and 280 mg·kg-1 ethanolic extracts of euonymus alatus once by gavage once a day,and the intervention lasted for six weeks. After 6th week,mouse blood was collected,the body weight and liver weight were measured and liver mass index calculated,the liver appearance was observed,and ALT,AST,TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β were detected in serum. The protein expression levels of collagen Ⅰ,α-SMA,and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway-related protein(JAK2,STAT3,p-JAK2,pSTAT3)in mouse liver tissues were detected. Results Compared with the model group,EAM and EAH significantly decreased liver mass index,and the ALT,AST,α-SMA,collagen I levels of serum. After treatment,the liver morphology and structure,cellular inflammatory infiltration,fiber changes and collagen deposition in euonymus alatus intervention group were dose-dependently better than those of the model group. Compared with the model group,the expression of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-1β in EAM and EAH serum decreased significantly(P<0.05). Compared with the model group,the protein expression levels of JAK2,STAT3,p-JAK2,pSTAT3 in EAM and EAH mouse liver tissues decreased significantly(P<0.05). Conclusion Ethanolic extracts of euonymus alatus have an anti-CCl4-induced HF effect in mice,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. © 2023 Publication Centre of Anhui Medical University.
