Protective Effect of Alkaloid A from Acanthi Ilicifolii Herba seu Radix on Drug-induced Liver Injury in Mice
To observe the effect of alkaloid A from Acanthi Ilicifolii Herba seu Radix(AAIA) on liver injury model caused by acetaminophen.
Method:
2
Mice were randomly divided into normal group
model group
positive drug group (bifendate
150 mg·kg
-1
) and high
medium and low-dose AAIA groups (200
100
50 mg·kg
-1
)
with 10 in each group. They were given drugs by gavage for 10 days
and fasted for 8 hours after the last administration. Except the normal group
the other groups were intraperitoneally injected with 275 mg·kg
-1
acetaminophen to induce acute liver injury model in mice. Six hours later
blood was taken from the eyeball. The body
liver
spleen
kidney and thymus were weighed
and then the corresponding organ indexes were calculated. The kits were used to detect the contents of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in serum. The contents of nitric oxide (NO) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in liver homogenate were determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry
and the expressions of extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK1/2) and phosphorylated extracellular regulatory protein kinase (p-ERK1/2) were determined by Western blot.
Result:
2
Compared with the normal group
the liver index
serum AST and ALT levels
the production of NO and iNOS in liver homogenate
the expression of p-ERK1/2 protein in liver of the model group increased significantly (
P
<
0.01). Compared with the model group
all of drug groups could reduce the liver index of mice with acute liver injury induced by acetaminophen
the levels of serum AST and ALT
the production of NO and iNOS in liver and homogenate and the expression of p-ERK1/2 protein in liver (
P
<
0.01). however
it had no significant effect on spleen
kidney and thymus of all acetaminophen injection groups.
Conclusion:
2
AAIA may protect mice from drug-induced liver injury by reducing AST and ALT levels
