To explore the mechanism of gypenosides in the treatment of liver injury in rats based on GC-MS metabolomics and bile acid metabolism pathway
Gynostemma pentaphyllum is a herbaceous vine of Cucurbitaceae family, and its principal pharmacological components, gypenosides (GPs), have been proved to be effective in various liver diseases. However, the mechanisms of GPs on liver injury are still to be studied for further. This investigation utilized the CCl4-induced liver injury rat model (LI) to comprehensively explore the mechanism of action of GPs in the treatment of chemical liver injury by comparing the metabolomic changes in four groups rats. In this study, the therapeutic efficacy of GPs in a liver injury rat model induced by weekly gavage of CCl4 was evaluated by inflammatory factors, oxidative damage indexes, and histopathological sections. Then, GC-MS technology was used to identify the metabolic profile of GPs in treating liver injury. Finally, the content variation of metabolites (BAs and SCFAs) was measured to elucidate the mechanism of GPs in the treatment of CCl4-induced liver injury. After 8 weeks of administration, GPs effectively reduced the degree of LI and appeared a substantial tendency of reversing in the levels of MDA, GSH, CYP7E1, CYP7A1 and CYP27A1. Untargeted metabolomics suggested that GPs may play a role in BAs and SCFAs metabolism. Targeted metabolomics and ELISA confirmed the key role of GPs in increasing SCFAs levels and regulating BAs metabolism. Overall, this study indicated that GPs can alleviate CCl4-induced liver injury. And GPs may exert beneficial effects on LI by affecting their metabolites (SCFAs and BAs).
期刊介绍:
This journal is an international medium directed towards the needs of academic, clinical, government and industrial analysis by publishing original research reports and critical reviews on pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis. It covers the interdisciplinary aspects of analysis in the pharmaceutical, biomedical and clinical sciences, including developments in analytical methodology, instrumentation, computation and interpretation. Submissions on novel applications focusing on drug purity and stability studies, pharmacokinetics, therapeutic monitoring, metabolic profiling; drug-related aspects of analytical biochemistry and forensic toxicology; quality assurance in the pharmaceutical industry are also welcome.
Studies from areas of well established and poorly selective methods, such as UV-VIS spectrophotometry (including derivative and multi-wavelength measurements), basic electroanalytical (potentiometric, polarographic and voltammetric) methods, fluorimetry, flow-injection analysis, etc. are accepted for publication in exceptional cases only, if a unique and substantial advantage over presently known systems is demonstrated. The same applies to the assay of simple drug formulations by any kind of methods and the determination of drugs in biological samples based merely on spiked samples. Drug purity/stability studies should contain information on the structure elucidation of the impurities/degradants.
