Ginsenoside RD prevents acute liver injury in mice by inhibiting STAT3-mediated NLRP3/GSDMD activation
We investigated the role and mechanism of ginsenoside RD (GRD) in acute liver injury. Network pharmacology was used to analyze the correlations among GRD-liver injury-pyroptosis targets. A mouse model of acute liver injury was established by lipopolysaccharide + d-galactose(LPS + d/Gal). After pretreatment with GRD, the changes in mouse liver function were detected. The histopathological changes were assayed by hematoxylin and eosin and Masson staining, the tissue expressions of inflammatory cytokines were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the protein expressions were assayed by immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting. Meanwhile, mechanism research was conducted using STAT3-knockout transgenic mice and STAT3-IN13, a STAT3 inhibitor. GRD inhibited liver injury, mitigated tissue inflammation, and suppressed STAT3-mediated pyroptosis in mice. After applying STAT3-knockout mouse model or STAT3-IN13, GRD did not further inhibit the liver injury. GRD can resist liver injury by inhibiting the STAT3-mediated pyroptosis, which is one of the hepatoprotective mechanisms of GRD.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology is an international journal that contains original research papers, rapid communications, mini-reviews, and book reviews, all focusing on the molecular mechanisms of action and detoxication of exogenous and endogenous chemicals and toxic agents. The scope includes effects on the organism at all stages of development, on organ systems, tissues, and cells as well as on enzymes, receptors, hormones, and genes. The biochemical and molecular aspects of uptake, transport, storage, excretion, lactivation and detoxication of drugs, agricultural, industrial and environmental chemicals, natural products and food additives are all subjects suitable for publication. Of particular interest are aspects of molecular biology related to biochemical toxicology. These include studies of the expression of genes related to detoxication and activation enzymes, toxicants with modes of action involving effects on nucleic acids, gene expression and protein synthesis, and the toxicity of products derived from biotechnology.
