Elucidation of the mechanism of the fruit of Rubus chingii Hu against CCl4-induced liver injury in mice based on met/Tlr2/Tlr4 -mediated PI3K-Akt signaling pathway
This study aims to evaluate the mechanism of RCH against CCl4-induced liver injury in mice. RCH treatment effectively inhibited CCl4-induced liver injury and apoptosis in mice, and reduced liver enzyme activities, blood inflammatory cell and serum inflammatory factor levels. Network pharmacology and machine learning predicted that PI3K-Akt pathway and Met proteins play important roles in RCH anti-CCl4-induced liver injury. The results of qRT-PCR and Western blot showed that RCH could down-regulate the expression of the receptor proteins Met, Tlr2, and Tlr4, and inhibit the phosphorylation of Pik3ca and Akt1, and prevent the phosphorylation of NF-κB P65, and decrease cleaved Caspase3 expression. These findings suggest that RCH effectively alleviated liver injury in CCl4-induced mice by inhibiting the Met/Tlr2/Tlr4-mediated PI3K-Akt 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.
