Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Ligustilide (Lig) is the main active ingredient of Umbelliferae Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Chinese Angelica) and Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Sichuan lovase rhizome). Lig possesses various pharmacological properties and could treat obesity by regulating energy metabolism. However, the impact and regulatory mechanism of Lig on alcoholic hepatic steatosis remains unclear.
PURPOSE: This study aimed to explore the therapeutic effect of Lig on alcoholic hepatic steatosis and its related pharmacological mechanism.
RESULTS: With chronic and binge ethanol feeding, liver tissue damage and lipid accumulation in mice suffering alcoholic hepatic steatosis were significantly improved after Lig treatment. Lig effectively regulated the expression levels of lipid metabolism-related proteins in alcoholic hepatic steatosis. In addition, Lig reduced RXFP1 expression, inhibited the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome, and blocked NET formation. Lig reduced the infiltration of immune cells to the liver and the further prevented the occurrence of alcohol-stimulated inflammatory response in liver. Lig significantly regulated lipid accumulation in alcohol exposed AML12 cells via modulating PPARα and SREBP1. In MPMs, Lig decreased the expression of RXFP1, inhibited the activation of NLRP3 in macrophages stimulated by LPS/ATP, and slowed down the occurrence of inflammatory response.
CONCLUSION: Lig sustained lipid metabolism homeostasis in alcoholic hepatic steatosis, through inhibiting the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes and the formation of NETs, especially targeting RXFP1 in macrophages.
