ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE: The seeds of Herpetospermum pedunculosum seeds is a traditional Tibetan medicine possessing hepatoprotective effect, but their protective effect on APAP-induced liver injury has not yet been explored.
AIM OF THE STUDY: This study aimed at exploring the protective effect and mechanism of the water extract from the seeds of Herpetospermum pedunculosum (HPWE) on APAP-induced liver injury in vitro and in vivo.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In vitro and in vivo models of liver injury were established by APAP treatment of BRL-3A cells or mice. The effect and mechanism of action of HPWE were explored by using cell viability assay, ELISA, immunofluorescence assay, RT-qPCR, histological observation and immunohistochemistry staining, western blotting and high-content imaging system.
RESULTS: In vitro experiments showed that HPWE treatment significantly promoted the cell viability, decreased ALT/AST level, and inhibited the ROS accumulation induced by APAP. Furthermore, HPWE and Fer-1 alleviated erastin-induced cell ferroptosis, upregulated GPX4 and SLC7A11 expression, and reduced lipid peroxides production. Further study showed that APAP could also downregulate the expression of GPX4 and SLC7A11, causing cell ferroptosis, and HPWE and Fer-1 counteracted this process. Our in vivo experiments showed that pretreatment with HPWE in APAP-treated mice significantly alleviated the serum ALT/AST level, decreased necrotic cells and inflammatory cell infiltration, upregulated the expression of GPX4 and SLC7A11. Further, it was demonstrated that HPWE treatment downregulated Nrf2 and its downstream target genes, i.e. HO-1 and NQO1 expression at the mRNA and protein levels. HPWE treatment also inhibited the activation of NF-κB p65 and downregulated its target genes, i.e. TNF-α and IL-1β, expression.
CONCLUSION: The present study showed that HPWE could relieve oxidative stress and ferroptosis via activating Nrf2 signaling pathway and inhibiting NF-κB mediated pathway.
