OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of arnebin-1 on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) induced by a high-fat diet (HFD).
METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed an HFD for 10 weeks and then treated with arnebin-1 at a dose of 5, 10 or 20 mg/kg/day by gavage for a further 12 weeks of a 22-week HFD. Peripheral blood and liver tissues were collected for biochemical and histopathological examination. The mechanisms of arnebin-1 on liver fibrosis and insulin resistance (IR) were determined by Western blotting and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
RESULTS: Arnebin-1 treatment attenuated the increase of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in serum and lipid accumulation in the livers of HFD-fed rats. Furthermore, arnebin-1 abrogated HFD-induced liver fibrosis and the increase of fibrotic biomarkers. The HFD-induced decrease of hepatic proliferator-activated receptor γ and pro-matrix-metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 levels and the increase of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) levels were reversed after arnebin-1. Arnebin-1 attenuated IR through activating the insulin receptor substrate-1/Akt/mTOR signalling pathway.
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrated that arnebin-1 ameliorates NAFLD, in part, by attenuating hepatic fibrosis and IR, suggesting that arnebin-1 may be a therapeutic agent for NAFLD treatment.
