d-Pinitol protects against endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis in hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury via modulation of AFT4-CHOP/GRP78 and caspase-3 signaling pathways.
Hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) is a major unavoidable clinical problem often accompanying various liver surgery and transplantation. d-Pinitol, a cyclic polyol, exhibits hepatoprotective efficacy. The objective of this study is to determine the possible mechanism of action of pinitol against endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress regulation-mediated hepatic IRI and compare its effects with thymoquinone (TQ) in experimental rats. Male Sprague Dawley rats were pre-treated orally with either vehicle (DMSO) or d-Pinitol (5, 10, and 20 mg/kg) or TQ (30 mg/kg) for 21 days and subjected to 60 min of partial hepatic ischemia followed by 24 h of reperfusion. Pre-treatment with pinitol (10 and 20 mg/kg) effectively (P< 0.05) protected against IRI-induced hepatic damage reflected by attenuation of elevated oxidative stress and pro-inflammatory cytokines. Additionally, western blot and ELISA analyses suggested that pinitol significantly (P< 0.05) down-regulated expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress apoptotic markers, namely glucose-regulated protein (GRP)-78, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein homologous protein (CHOP), activating transcription factor (AFT)-4 and -6α, X-box binding protein-1, and caspase-3, 9, and 12. Additionally, pinitol pre-treatment effectively (P< 0.05) improved mitochondrial function and phosphorylation of Extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-1/2 and p38. Pinitol markedly (P< 0.05) protected hepatic apoptosis determined by flow cytometry. Further, pinitol provided effective (P< 0.05) protection against hepatic histological and ultrastructural aberrations induced by IRI. TQ showed more pronounced protective effect against attenuation of IRI-induced hepatic injury as compared to d-Pinitol. Pinitol offered protection against endoplasmic reticulum stress-mediated phosphorylation of ERK1/2 and p38, thereby inhibiting AFT4-CHOP/GRP78 signaling response and caspase-3 induced hepatocellular apoptosis during hepatic ischemia-reperfusion insults. Thus, Pinitol can be considered as a viable option for the management of hepatic IRI.
期刊介绍:
International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology is an Open Access peer-reviewed journal publishing original papers describing research in the fields of immunology, pathology and pharmacology. The intention is that the journal should reflect both the experimental and clinical aspects of immunology as well as advances in the understanding of the pathology and pharmacology of the immune system.
