Regulatory Effect of Gandou Decoction on Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway in Liver of Wilson Model Copper-loaded Rats
To investigate the regulatory effect of Gandou decoction (GDD) on Wnt/
β
-catenin signaling pathway in hepatic tissue of Wilson disease model copper-loaded rats and its potential mechanism.
Method:
2
One hundred and fifteen SD rats were randomly divided into the normal group (
n
=20) and modeling group. Modeling group was given copper sulfate feed (1 g·kg
-1
·d
-1
) and 0.185%copper sulfate solution (0.02 mL·g
-1
·d
-1
) for 12 weeks after one week's adaptive feeding
so as to build the copper loaded rats model. After modeling
95 model rats were randomly divided into model group (
n
=45)
which were fed by modeling method for continuously four weeks; GDD group and penicillamine (PCA) group (
n
=25 per group). GDD group and PCA group were given GDD(0.4 g·kg
-1
·d
-1
) and PCA (0.09 g·kg
-1
·d
-1
) by gavage for four weeks. The hepatic tissues of rats in each group were removed after final medication for further research: inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry(ICP-AES) was used to detect the content of Cu element in rat livers. Htoxylin eosin(HE) staining was used to detect the pathological changes of rat liver. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect expression of oxidative stress. Western blot was used to detect protein expressions in Wnt/
β
-catenin of rat livers.
Result:
2
Compared with model group
content of Cu element in GDD group was less (
P
<
0.05); compared with model group
content of Cu element in PCA group was less (
P
<
0.01). The hepatic cells of model group showed different sizes
disordered arrangement and partial loss of hepatic cord compared with normal group; the hepatic injuries of GDD and PCA group were significantly lower than model group.Compared with model group
8-Hydroxyguanosine
Nitrotyrosine protein positive expression in GDD and PCA group were significantly less (
P
<
0.01). Compared with model group
the expression quantities of
β
-catenin
p-glycogen synthase kinase-3
β
(p-GSK3
β
)
cellular myelocytomatosis oncogene(c-Myc) in GDD and PCA group increased
while p-
β
-catenin
Dishevelled3
GSK3
β
protein expressions reduced (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
GDD can relieve liver damage by promoting excessive copper discharge. GDD decoction can promote the compensatory self-healing of the injured liver tissue by activating Wnt/
β
-catenin signaling pathway in the hepatic tissue of Wilson disease model copper-loaded rats
so as to reduce the therapeutic effect of hepatocellular injury induced by high copper.
