Abstract
The objective of this study was to examine the effect of rosehip (Rosa rugosa Thunb.) ethanol extract (RRE) on liver fibrosis in mice and the underlying molecular mechanisms. RRE has no acute oral toxicity, and the MTD in mice is 46.14 g/kg. Histopathological analysis showed that RRE significantly ameliorated inflammation, necrosis, and apoptosis of hepatocytes and collagen deposition caused by CCl4. Further assays indicated that RRE significantly suppressed the production of MDA while markedly increasing the levels of SOD and GSH in the liver. The AST, ALT, IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α, HA, LN, PCIII, and IVC levels in serum were decreased by RRE. Transcriptome analysis shows that RRE significantly upregulates the PPAR signaling pathway. The RT-q PCR results further confirmed the RRE up-regulating Pparγ, Rxrα, and Plin5 in the PPAR signaling pathway. The Western blot and immunohistochemical results indicate that RRE upregulated PPARγ, RXRα, and Perilipin 5 while downregulating α-SMA and COL1A1 expression. The results indicate that RRE can ameliorate liver fibrosis in mice by upregulating the PPAR signaling pathway.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Functional Foods continues with the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review. We give authors the possibility to publish their top-quality papers in a well-established leading journal in the food and nutrition fields. The Journal will keep its rigorous criteria to screen high impact research addressing relevant scientific topics and performed by sound methodologies.
The Journal of Functional Foods aims to bring together the results of fundamental and applied research into healthy foods and biologically active food ingredients.
The Journal is centered in the specific area at the boundaries among food technology, nutrition and health welcoming papers having a good interdisciplinary approach. The Journal will cover the fields of plant bioactives; dietary fibre, probiotics; functional lipids; bioactive peptides; vitamins, minerals and botanicals and other dietary supplements. Nutritional and technological aspects related to the development of functional foods and beverages are of core interest to the journal. Experimental works dealing with food digestion, bioavailability of food bioactives and on the mechanisms by which foods and their components are able to modulate physiological parameters connected with disease prevention are of particular interest as well as those dealing with personalized nutrition and nutritional needs in pathological subjects.
