摘要: 目的 探讨芪茵颗粒改善高脂饮食诱导的代谢相关脂肪性肝病(MAFLD)小鼠肝脏脂质代谢影响的可能机制。方法 取C57BL/6J小鼠,随机分为对照组、模型组、吡格列酮二甲双胍处理组和小、中、大剂量芪茵颗粒处理组,每组10只。给予高脂饮食制备模型,自第7周起给予药物灌胃6周。常规行组织病理学检查,分别采用Western blot和qRT-PCR检测肝组织SIRT1/LXRα信号通路关键分子表达水平。结果 模型组血清TG和TC及肝组织TG和TC水平均显著高于对照组(P<0.05),而中、大剂量芪茵颗粒处理组上述指标均显著低于模型组(P<0.05);与模型组比,吡格列酮二甲双胍处理组及小、中、大剂量芪茵颗粒处理组肝组织SIRT1蛋白表达上调(P<0.05),而LXRα、SREBP-1c和FASN蛋白表达显著下调,呈剂量依赖性(P<0.05);与模型组比,吡格列酮二甲双胍处理组及小、中和大剂量芪茵颗粒处理组SIRT1 mRNA水平上调(P<0.05),而LXRα、SREBP-1c和FASN mRNA水平显著下调(P<0.05),呈剂量依赖性变化。结论 芪茵颗粒可能通过调控SIRT1/LXRα 信号通路,抑制脂质新生并减轻炎症反应,从而有效改善MAFLD小鼠肝脂肪变性。

Abstract: Objective This experiment aimed to investigate mechanism by which Qiyin granules (QY), a herbal medicine, improve hepatic lipid metabolism in high-fat diet (HFD)–induced metabolic-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). Methods 60 C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control, model, pioglitazone /metformin-intervened, low, medium and high-dose Qiyin granules-intervened group, with 10 in each. Model was establish by HFD feeding, and interventions began at seven weeks for six weeks. Liver histopathological study was routinely conducted, and hepatic SIRT1/LXRα signaling pathway genes and their proteins were detected by Western blotting and qRT-PCR, respectively. Results Serum and hepatic triglycerides and total cholesterol levels in model group increased greatly as compared to in the control(P<0.05), while they decreased obviously in pioglitazone /metformin-intervened, and low, medium and high-dose Qiyin granules-intervened group(P<0.05);hepatic SIRT1 protein in pioglitazone /metformin-intervened, and low, medium and high-dose Qiyin granules-intervened group upregulated(P<0.05),while hepatic LXRα, SREBP-1c and FASN protein expression down-regulated greatly as compared to in the model (P<0.05); hepatic SIRT1 mRNA levels in pioglitazone /metformin-intervened, and low, medium and high-dose Qiyin granules-intervened group increased in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.05),while hepatic LXRα, SREBP-1c and FASN mRNA levels decreased obviously (P<0.05), as compared to in the model. Conclusions Qiyin granules could ameliorate HFD-induced MAFLD, maybe via modulating the SIRT1/LXRα signaling pathway, which might suppress de novo lipogenesis and attenuate inflammation.
