Protective Effect and Mechanism of Polysaccharides from on Acute Liver Injury Induced by -GlaN in Mice
Objective: To observe the protective effect of polysaccharides from Cordyceps cicadae on acute liver injury induced by D-galactosamine (D-GlaN) in mice
and to explore its mechanism.Method: Seventy-five male Kunming mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=15 for each group). The miceinnormal group were injected with saline solution intraperitoneally while the mice in model group were intraperitoneally injected with D-GlaN. The mice in polysaccharides from C. cicadae low dose
middle dose and high dose groups were intraperitoneally injected with D-GlaN and lavage treatment with polysaccharides from C. cicadae solution (0.5
1.0
2.0 g · kg-1 respectively). After 12 days of treatment
the mouse liver homogenate indexes[superoxide dismutase (SOD)
malondialdehyde(MDA)
glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)
nitric oxide(NO)]
and serum markers[aspartate transaminase(AST)
alanine transaminase(ALT)
alkaline phosphatase(ALP)
cholinesterase(CHE)]were detected together withthe liver tissue pathological scores in each groups. The expression levels of nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected in the liver tissues by immunohistochemistry.Result: The liver histopathological scores
MDA
NO
AST
ALT
ALP
NF-κB
and TNF-α in model group were significantly higher than those in normal group (P<0.05)
while the levels of SOD
GSH-Px and CHE were significantly lower than those in normal group(P<0.05). The liver histopathological scores in the polysaccharides from C. cicadae low
middle and high dose groups were significantly lower than those in model group (P<0.05)
moreover
the liver histopathological scores tended to decrease with the increase of therapeutic dose (P<0.05); the levels of MDA
NO
AST
ALT
ALP
NF-κB
and TNF-α in the low
middle and high dose groups were significantly lower than those in model group (P<0.05)
while the levels of SOD
GSH-Px and CHE were significantly higher than those in the model group (P<0.05)
and as the therapeutic dose increased
the levels of MDA
NO
AST
ALT
ALP
NF-κB and TNF-α were significantly decreased (P<0.05)
while SOD
GSH-Px
CHE levels were significantly increased (P<0.05).Conclusion: Polysaccharides from C. cicadae may have protective effect on D-GlaN-induced acute liver injury in a dose-dependent manner
and its mechanismmay be related to the inhibition of NF-κB inflammatory signaling pathway.
