Sea buckthorn regulates PXR/CAR/NF-κB signaling and restores CYP2C metabolic function in BCG-induced hepatitis
Ethnopharmacological relevance: Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) exhibits anti-oxidation, anti-atherosclerosis, anti-inflammation, anti-cancer, and liver protective effects; it may also inhibit ECM collagen deposition and alleviate liver fibrosis. Therefore, we hypothesized that sea buckthorn granule (SG) polysaccharides may possess anti-hepatitis activity.
Aim of the study: To investigate the role of sea buckthorn in regulating hepatic pregnane X receptor (PXR)/constitutive androstane receptor (CAR)/NF-κB signal transduction and CYP2C following BCG-induced liver injury.
Materials and methods
A mouse liver injury model was established through single tail vein injection of Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccine. SGs were administrated intragastrically for 7 days. Pregnenolone 16alpha-carbonitrile (PCN, PXR agonists) and 1,4-bis-(2-[3,5-dichloropyridyloxy]) benzene (TCPOBOP, CAR agonists) were administered as positive controls. To evaluate modeling success, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate transferase (AST) levels and hepatic IL-1β, TNF-α, 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET), and 14,15-EET expressions were measured.
Results
Overall, 5281 reliable proteins were identified, including 43 cytochrome P450 (CYP) subtypes, with the CYP2C subfamily accounting for approximately 27 %. BCG-induced hepatitis downregulated 23 CYPs. The BCG group exhibited increased inflammatory infiltration and ALT/AST levels. PXR, CAR, CYP2C, 11,12-EET, and 14,15-EET were downregulated, whereas NF-κB, IL-1β, and TNF-α were upregulated. Following SG administration, hepatic inflammation and ALT/AST levels decreased; PXR, CAR, CYP2C, 11,12-EET, and 14,15-EET increased, and NF-κB, IL-1β, and TNF-α decreased. The SG high-dose group effects were comparable to the PCN and TCPOBOP group effects.
Conclusions
SGs may regulate the PXR/CAR/NF-κB signaling pathway and CYP reprogramming, mitigating BCG-induced liver injury and inflammation.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Ethnopharmacology is dedicated to the exchange of information and understandings about people''s use of plants, fungi, animals, microorganisms and minerals and their biological and pharmacological effects based on the principles established through international conventions. Early people confronted with illness and disease, discovered a wealth of useful therapeutic agents in the plant and animal kingdoms. The empirical knowledge of these medicinal substances and their toxic potential was passed on by oral tradition and sometimes recorded in herbals and other texts on materia medica. Many valuable drugs of today (e.g., atropine, ephedrine, tubocurarine, digoxin, reserpine) came into use through the study of indigenous remedies. Chemists continue to use plant-derived drugs (e.g., morphine, taxol, physostigmine, quinidine, emetine) as prototypes in their attempts to develop more effective and less toxic medicinals.
